I had a blast. My elder daughter took me to a painting party as a treat before my surgery (tomorrow).
We painted Highland cows on tote bags. I have some art skills and can copy what someone else does.

My once in a while post. Happy Thanksgiving! I am grateful for all of you. I am grateful that the Christmas cactus, once a twig of three leaves that fell off my dad's plant in 2001, has decided to bloom early for me on one side. There are small buds on the other side of the plant. I'm also grateful this chest was built by my dad. It holds half my hoard of yarn. I am grateful for a full table. I cooked and we joked about the "meals on wheels" I delivered to DD2's house where the four (five) of us had a nice, quiet Thanksgiving. No, it wasn't his plate. It was opportunistic jumping onto an emptied chair. And speaking of chairs. Behind this you can see the other hoard of yarn. The new chair is for the recovery of a new hip, planned for late February. It was a very short and quick run of "why does my hip hurt?" back in July to "oh, that's why" last month when the doctor told me it is bone on bone! I am helped by keeping in shape and going ...
Oh my gosh! Those cows are so adorable! GladPT really that you and your DD were able to do something so fun!
ReplyDeleteWishing you good luck and complete recovery from your hip replacement. Had hip surgery in July. Lots of PT work, but . . . really the effort for a good outcome. Good luck.

Thanks, I'm ready!
DeleteOh, my goodness! I wonder if any of the mini-cows came from Broken Bow, NE! Probably not, but the folks who own Ember's dog-mom raise miniature cattle for a living.
ReplyDeleteI am behind the curve reading blogs this week. I had my own medicalizing last week and this, and today am adjusting to new fillings (believe it or not they tend to need repair after 50 years or so, LOL).
Wishing you a speedy recovery... got the text which made me come look for the blog!
I wanted a mini-cow until the owner told me about mini-alpacas.... I have room.
ReplyDeleteLolol... I expect photos of those mini alpacas!
DeleteHow stinkin' cute!!! My neighbor down the street (whom I swear has some sort of Noah's Ark, collect-a-couple-of-everything compulsion), has a few Highland minis, Galloway belteds, & exotic fowl of multiple descriptions (chickens, turkeys, peafowl, pheasants & most recently, EMUS, ugh!)
