I'm taking advantage of having Tommy here. I've wanted to change the light over the kitchent table to a fan. So a trip to Lowes got me not only one fan, but since the kitchen opens to the family room, I got a new fan for there too. Poor Tommy, he got to put up the fan with "Dad" supervising.

So we went from this:

to this:

To this!

Cousins

Tommy and Jason. You can tell they're related. Both good looking boys although Tommy might take offense at being called a boy at 33.
They are alot alike in attitude, both very laid back. Since Jason is going to go to collage in Alabama and Tommy lives in Florida, they hope to spend some time together during the fall.



Now for a knitting update: mmmm well I'd better admit it, I haven't been doing a lot of knitting lately. I have been working on a cable sweater for Pat's grandson (he's only 3 months). Projects waiting in line are a sweater for Pat's granddaughter (she's 2) and socks on circular needles. The Wednesday knitting group had 3 in attendance yesterday. The "Debs", Marva and I went over how to read a pattern and how to do a knitted ripple pattern. They are so quick on the uptake, it's hard for me to keep ahead of them.

That's all for today. Tommy's going to put up two ceiling fans for me so I need to get the kitchen and living room ready.

Keep on knitting

He's valedictorian!!!

It's hard to believe that someone in our family is that smart!

Going away

We're going away for a few days. Tommy (son) arrives in SA in a few hours. Tomorrow morning we leave for Louisanna. Going to see nephew's high school graduation. Also going to stop at the casino for a couple days.

See you next week, unless I hit the jackpot, then I might stay away awhile longer.

Keep on Knitting

Physical Therapy?

My shoulder pain has a name; it’s rotator cuff disorder, with inflammation of the tendons (tendinitis). Last week my regular Doctor gave me a referral to Physical Therapy and today was my first visit. It seems that as you get older (no jokes about age please), this can happen especially if you already have arthrutis. This also causes the nerves down my arm to burn and my fingers to tingle.

Using my shoulder is painful. To make it worse, is the girl that’s been cleaning for me called yesterday. She’s got a full time job and won’t be able to work for me anymore. I knew at the start that it was just temp, but what a disappointment. Tom has said that he’ll do it. Yeah right, I have trouble getting him to clean under the bird cage (his birds, not mine!).

At least if I go to physical therapy, do the stretching exercises and remember to be careful on how I use my shoulder, the shoulder will get better. So I don’t have to give up knitting for awhile. That’s a relief. I don’t know what I’d do without my knitting.

Speaking of knitting, I’m working on a toddler sweater for a co-workers grandchild. I know it’s 91 decrees here in San Antonio. The boy lives in Washington state and I’m making it a larger size. Photos to come.

PS: my son arrives on Friday!!!! He's staying for 10 days. When he leaves my middle daughter comes with her family. For years no one has visited us in Texas. Now in 3 weeks I'll have two kids, 1 SIL and 3 grandkids. WOW.
