Taking a Break

I think I am officially taking a break from posting. I may pick it up again later when my hand is completely healed and I can type with both hands again.

So MUCH later . . .

Weekend

YUM

We received lemons from our neighbors again and made three lemon meringue pies. They turned out beautiful - we gave one to the neighbors in thanks for the lemons (will get some next year too). Kathy, Max and I went to Volcano so Kathy could work on Max's mom's computer and Max could repair a broken ceiling fan. It was a quick but fun trip. The rest of the weekend was kind of kicked back.

I purchased some curtain rods and a cookie sheet and Max glued them for me (one handed I would end with up glue everywhere - which now that I think about it I do with two hands). It is a really cool idea for a cheap tray for my quilting machine. Other than watching some movies and Tivo programs the weekend was quiet and peaceful.

BORED!

It is official - I am bored to death. The limitations imposed by this cast and the surgery are driving me crazy. I guess I can be grateful that the resultant pain from movements I am NOT suppose to be doing is in fact keeping me from doing them (probably more accurate to say - keeping me from completing them). I am talking I can't even fold clothes unless it is something small that does not weight much and I can handle with one hand. Of course quilting, sewing, cutting fabric and all that stuff is on hold. I am not liking this situation very much at all. So needless to say I have not been doing much to write about.

Finally the New Year

We brought an end to all the Christmas celebrations with dinner and presents on New Years Day. Jesse had the kids for New Years (he gets every other Christmas) so Kathy cooked a fab dinner of prime rib, baked potatoes, yorkshire pudding, salad, corn, garlic bread and ended it with cheesecake topped with cherries and chocolate! The entire Lawson family was here and we had a great time (no work for me with "the hand"). It goes without saying the kids (Katie and JD) had a great time cause it was all about them when the presents came out!

The family went to see "AVATAR" on Saturday and I have to say I was amazed by the movie - awesome! Well worth seeing and we are going to see it again at the iMax. Michael was in Redbluff this last week so we will see it again with him. I usually do not ever want to see a movie more than once, but I am ready to see it again. I loved that movie - go see it!

We got the house "undecorated" Saturday morning. I did a lot of one handed carrying, but Max got the brunt of it all. Debby came over today to help her get the stuff back up in the rafters - no lifting more than a pound for me!

Max has one more day before she has to go back to work. Hard to believe it is 2010 and another birthday is staring me in the face.
