RELIEF! My doctor took off the cast from my ankle yesterday!

Still have this cast on my broken ankle. I have not been sewing, but have been teaching sewing, just doing what I must to get by. I've had about 10 new students in the past two weeks! The cast may come off next Wednesday!

Went on a driving vacation. Supposed to be 2+1/2 weeks in the mountains of Colorado and Utah. On the second day in there in CO, I fell on snow, up high in the mountain (11,00o ft). and broke my ankle. My husband drove us 2+1/2 hours to hospital in Alamosa. Diagnosis: broken ankle. They put on a splint. After another day of rest, we drove home, which took two days. Yesterday I went to an orthopedist who says I don't need surgery (yipee!) and put on a cast. Some vacation!

Today is our first day waking up without a pet in the house. One of our twin beagles passed away in March, yesterday the other one. We find ourselves looking to the spots where she'd usually be. I found myself waking up today grieving.

Hotness - Dressing TOO Sexy.

Hotness. I've been reading this study that goes along with the Sexy Girls: How Hot is Too Hot. It's a great pocket-size study book for preteen and teen girls, even women about: What does God think about your wardrobe and your body? Make you think before you choose what to wear.

One of my old beagles passed away last Sunday. I took the other one to San Antonio. My husband had a business trip there. Here's the dog with me on the Riverwalk.

I made myself a blouse yesterday.

What a beatiful day here today! clear, warm, and a little windy. Like springtime! I did a tiny bit of garden work. (I don't like gardening). Just moved some amarylis and agapanthus bulbs around, trimmed a crepe myrtle a little bit. That was enough for me for a day! My hubby & I went out to Brewseters for ice cream. We later BBQed hamburgers on the grill.Back to a busy week again teaching sewing....a new student (lady) starts this week.

My husband and I did our civic duty today...we voted, here in Texas.
