Had this for a long time...

 I have had this in my camera for a long time and just last night downloaded it...I thought when I took it that it would better than the one from my phone iposted a while back...now I am not so sure.  It is one of the hydrangeas my daughter has.

I am doing quick posts before giving meds.  My lamp came late yesterday...I tried it yesterday evening and I think it is going to work great.  I was so busy all day long yesterday, that when night came I was too tired to stitch a single stitch.  But I am going to try in a bit I think.  I did have time to sit today and stitch for at least an hour and a half.

Tell me...have any of you became all thumbs with age?  I do think today was part because my hands were so cold, but know I accidentally unthreaded the needle two or three times.  Thankfully, someone pointed out a needle threader that has a light...I cannot find it on amazon now.  Anyway, it is a real help.

And I have a Clover Dome needle case that is another handy gadget...I can set and load up to 10 needles with thread, and put them in it and wind up the thread...it keeps the thread untangled, and I can just reach and get one instead of having to stop and hunt out everything out of the sewing box and thread a needle.  I usually do 6 or 7 and it doesn't take much more time than to do one.  

Anyway, it was so enjoyable to have even the daylight to stitch by today.  I am hoping to put in more time after meds...

Autumn

 I just love pumpkins, gourds, squash...love all the interesting shapes and the colors.  I really love those little decorative gours...I think I even had a plant several years ago.

I almost did not post...I thought it won't hurt to skip it tonight, but then thought I need to do it if I am able.  

I wonder what/how Sandra and Bob and Beau are doing.  I hope they get their power back soon.  I just cannot imagine being without power this long...

I have been very busy this day with just the normal chores.  I was hoping to have time to stitch on my binding, and I could have had time, but not the lighting.  I do have a lamp that is supposed to get here tomorrow.  I am looking forward to having it.                                                                                                                        ********************

The past several weeks I have been watching old series from beginning to end...an episode or two a night...plus have had The Moonflower Murders and a new season of Van der Valk to watch.  

I cannot even think of all the ones I have watched.  I should make a tab and list each thing I watch....just to have for my own information.  I can go back and see viewing history but always takes me a bit to figure out how because I don't do it enough for it to become in grained in my brain.

I heard from Sandra

 I will try to copy a few of the things she says...

They are still without power...no cable TV, no internet, and some that got power back on still have no cable, and Tv, and internet.  She said itis like the city was bombed every day.

When they drive down the street to get two bags of ice, they have to do 4-way stops because signals are not working.

Her son and his wife lives in Clearwater about 40 miles away....they had power back last night but no TV or internet service.

She says they are doing okay but the worst thing is from a diesel generator next door.  There is the noise, which ear plugs help for that, but there is no help for the fumes that fill the air in their house, in their yard..  

That is the basic info she sent...
