We had a great camping trip. I felt like a Mother Hen and her chicks. We put the motor home on one side and the 3 tents around it. It was a great weekend, which helped me forget the Bad News we got before we left. Our dear ranger friend and "boss" from Yellowstone died suddenly from a massive heart attack. Then my former neighbor and friend for many years had a heart attack and is in CCU not expected to live. The final blow was expected, but not what I wanted to hear. My precious furry feline grandcat died before he could go camping with us. Sam had cancer. So it was a good time and bad time.

At least I am progressing with the PT on my hand, and even got to play my piano for a few minutes. It hurt, so guess I'll wait a few more days for that. Tomorrow I'll try to get back to the sewing. It's piled up to the ceiling!

There is a brand new Yahoo Challenge Group, brand new where you can download some cute embroidery files so you can use your old scrappy fabrics. There is very little embroidery then hand stitch the blocks together someone might be interested. You can make anything your can imagine with these and they are extremely easy to take along too.

You will probably be surprised at how many things you do with your left hand! I always thought I was right handed, but I now think the only thing I do righthanded is write and cut with scissors!

I can imagine, thinking about having the carpal tunnel surgery on my left hand.....a drag but it should be done.

Hooray! Today I started Therapy on my hand. He says it will be much better in 4 weeks. Do you know how long that seems?!! I haven't sewed anything, not even hand work, since mid August. I'm going crazy watching TV and reading. At least I'll get out of town next week. We're driving down to Tallulah Falls in N GA for a long weekend of camping with son and 2 married grandchildren. I'll be so glad to get out of this splint!

We went to Glacier National Park this year, did I already mention that. What a beautiful area. I'm trying to wait to start sewing again until the snow flies, but its supposed to rain tomorrow and I've noticed I've stayed up until at least 2 A.M. every night getting into my ole bad habits already. (Sewing or on the computer)

No, the Columbus we are going to is in Missouri not the one in Ohio.

Comment by Rosemary Gillmore, Mo on September 25, 2009 at 7:00pm

Branson is at the bottom of Mo in the SW corner and you have to go through all of Mo,Il, In, and then Oh. Is columbus at the sw corner of the state or somewhere in the middle. I have never been to Ohio.

Boy, 14 hours seems like a long time. Isn't Columbus just at the top of the state and Branson at the bottom? Maybe the state is bigger than I thought. That would be at least a 2 day drive. I better check out that map again.
