{ This and That }

It's been a long while. I am happy to report that I have completely healed up since my last post of pain. I have had a few threatening situations, but I've caught them soon enough. Oh, yes, and I'm drinking lots of water and less coffee. There's nothing wrong with tea, at least that's what I tell myself, and I'm enjoying a steaming mug of it in the mornings. Oh, and I have discovered "Irish Breakfast Tea"... don't waste your time or money. Just saying.

Spur of the moment, Tim and I decided to take advantage of warm rain, clear roads, and a long weekend to head down south to visit his parents. They were so excited to meet Oliver for the first time. We had a good visit. We also visited Tim's grandma who is 96 years old and such a dear lady.

I was so excited to get this 4 generation picture.

The past couple of days I have been happily occupied with the planning of a dear friend's bridal shower. This evening I was able to sneak away by myself to Michaels where I shopped to my heart's content and came away with a bag of happiness.

Yesterday I walked downtown to the library. Oliver slept happily in his front pack and I enjoyed the sunshine, exercise, and snuggling with my happy baby. I discovered a classic, Wilkie Collins The Woman in White. I just love good literature. It is the first detective novel ever written, I learned, printed in 1860. Collins was a close friend of Charles Dickens. So far I'm am really enjoying it.
