Bravery

Because you said that’s your eldest…which means Tracy risked going through it again. My first was quite traumatic too and I refuse to discuss it with anyone who is pregnant with their first.

He didn’t say anything. He never does. But the look on his face was funny because the box was sooooo small. lol

Special

After 6 weeks my order finally arrived today. And, I did know it would be delayed, I just didn’t expect quite this long. These are the specialty items I cannot buy in a brick and mortar store. The look on my husband’s face says he thinks they are my “you paid how much for that little order”. :lol: h...

Going to meet little Lenora and her parents this weekend. I haven’t actually put it together though, so not bringing it. I have been working on a stocking for my niece’s baby.

Light bulb

I got a text from my oldest granddaughter today. Her highschool is having a PowWow and she is going to be selling some of her beading at it.

I’m happy for her for the chance to make some money, but also the opportunity to associate with other Indigenous People at school.

Wonderful start.

Poor Squeaky. I hope he’s feeling better. It’s a good thing I spend a lot of time watching my cats. Earlier this week it looked like Tiger vomited up a clown….or at least part of a clown. He had been chewing on a crocheted cat toy…variegated wool. Goodness knows what I would have thought if I hadn’t...
