Well.     I spent most of the day at a quilting class presented by a Bobbie Berrquist, who along with her husband, owns a company called Quilter's Treasures.    They give classes and sell patterns, fabric and almost every gadget known to the quilting world.   What she taught us was an interesting technique   but nothing that I would choose to do again.    But then I like my quilt hangings best as far as creativity.

It started at 9AM and ended at 3PM.    I couldn't make it past two.   I was so sore and tired that I decided that I needed to get home.      A good experience but much too long for me.

So   home I came.   Got a package of Bovvie's special Valentine cookies today and I was home in time to accept it right from the postman's hand.    

Guess that's all    I am very tired and hope I get to sleep before my hips start hurting again.

I had a few appointments today.    First - I saw Dr. Toy, my chiropractor, who adjusted me.    I was down to once a month for just minor realignment but this illness has really goofed me up.   I will see him again next week.   Hopefully then we can stretch it out again.

Then I went to get my mediport flushed which I have to do every four weeks.  It was fine.

This afternoon, we had the Celtic Club meeting at the Shamrock.   Our member, and my friend, Robbi, gave a presentation on the structure and background of the people in the Celtic Nations, going back to the Picts and the Gaels.   Our people have a lot to contribute.  Next week we will share what we know about St. Patrick.

A quilting class tomorrow.   6 hours.   I hope I am up to it.  Pray for me.

It was over 70 degrees most of the day today.   One of the days I am glad that I am in Oklahoma now.  

This too shall pass but the lowest temperatures I saw in the following week were in the low 40s maybe high 30s.    Nothing like I would be experiencing in Wisconsin.

Nicky had his "wellness exam" at Meadow Wood today.   It cost me a fortune, mainly the heart and flea meds for  the next six months.   He is just fine and has lost a pound.   Good thing!   He was packing it on for a while and with us not walking daily, not wearing it off.

Anyway.   Decent day.   Tomorrow I meet with my Celtic Group.

Well, today was a rather active day.

I went to Bible Study at 10AM.   There were 10 of us there and as always we had a lively discussion.   We often talk about the issues of the day too.    I am glad to get back to the meeting .   Gives my brain something to do.

Then I picked Bart up and took him to the car dealer to pick up his car which he had in for an oil change and on to some grocery shopping.   Got home at about 12:30 had a sandwich and took a nap. 

Dolores called today and we had a lovely visit.   I also talked to Nora.    She and Leif celebrated their 53rd wedding anniversary yesterday.    Wow.

Don't want to rub it in but we had a nice day today.   A bit windy but the temps were in the upper 60s.
This will change on the weekend.  I like Oklahoma this time of year:)

Just got home from Writer's Club.     I am making myself do stuff as I am gaining strength.   This is a nice group of four of us and the hardest part is driving there.   I wrote two poems today and have made a vow to write something every day - here is one of them

Each day
I pray for strength
Energy to be back
To the me that was creative
Alive!


It is a beginning,  my fellow writers were proud of me. 

It was a nice day today.     64 degrees and sunny.     This too shall pass.   Winter returns this weekend but I am going to enjoy the next couple of spring like days.

I got a call from my friend, Joanne, today asking if I was OK because she follows my Blog and I had not posted since 1/20/19.

I have a good and bad explanation for anybody who is still checking on me.    I ended up in the hospital for 6 days with pneumonia.   When I got out of the hospital, frankly, the blog was the last thing on my mind.     I am still very weak and will need a couple weeks to be back to normal but have been able to be home and taking care of myself.     I apologize to those who check my blog.   My mind just erased the thought of it.   Now it will give me a reason to DO something every day again.   I need a project every day and you are going to be IT.

I will be going to the Wichita Mountain Quilt Guild meeting tonight.   My first venture out at night.   I did to to church yesterday so am working my way back to normal, or as Barbara tells me, to my new normal:)
