My nephew, Mike, is finishing year two of medical school and will be doing his internship when he is done next month. He posted this photo on Facebook after their last rotation. I'm so proud of him!! Mike is the tallest and third from the right.
Joe and I have lived in Mas Verde for a year and three months and this week marks the first time we ventured to the pool and hot tub. Joe's back and leg have been painful from sciatica. He has a few herniated discs that are usually okay, but when they flare up, he can hardly function. We are blessed to have these facilities in our community...
And speaking of Mas Verde, the ladies had a wine & cheese gathering yesterday. There were only three tables gathered (about 25 women) since so many have returned to northern homes. This photo I snapped makes it look like we were not happy at all, but there really was lots of good conversation and plenty of laughter. I have come to really love these ladies and our neighbors. All good people!
I worked on a new wreath for our front door this week. I found some really fun yarn at Hobby Lobby. It is fuzzy and made a great wreath (I think).
I just wrapped the foam wreath with the yarn and tied it off. I added a yellow tulle bow and the little blue bird. I think it will make for a good summer look.

#27 What you Wore Today...
I don't do selfies well, but that is what I wore (yesterday) since I wrote this on Thursday.
Happy Friday!! Thanks for peeking in today! Peace & hugs!!
Neat job on the wreath! That is a good selfie too! Glad you have the hot tub to help Joe with his leg and back....the move you made a year ago has been well worth it and I am so happy for you two. Happy Friday.
ReplyDeleteWow! I love that wreath! Very creative and perfect for summer! So smart you are!! Your selfie is cute! I don't do selfies very well either, but you did a good job. Love that you can enjoy your pool and hot tub. That sounds pretty nice to me! And so glad you have met so many nice ladies at the park where you live. That is so nice to have so many new "friends" with similar interests, etc. all so close. It seems to be the perfect place to retire! At least for you and Joe!! So happy for you!! Glad you are both feeling better. Oh, I know you are proud of that nephew! That is wonderful!!!
ReplyDeleteOh I love the wreath... I try to keep something different on the front door, too. The little birdie just makes it Don't you just love Hobby Lobby? I could spend hours in there! You look so pretty in the selfie .. purple is a favorite of mine! What a blessing to live where you do... access to the pool and hot tub and sweet friends! Congratulations to Mr. Mike... what an accomplishment! Hope you have a great weekend! 💜
ReplyDeleteLove that wreath!! I would have never thought to use yarn as a base but you are right...there is alll kinds of yarn available now. Hope Joe's sciatica gets better..that hot tub looks very comfortable!!
ReplyDeleteLove the wreath. I wouldn't have thought that was yarn. Very neat! I just went to Hobby Lobby for the very first time. It was huge. I loved it.
ReplyDeleteI hope the hot tub helped Joe. Wow that pool looks big.
Have a great day!
That wreath! It's so pretty and made so easily! I will keep that kind of yarn in mind! Thanks for sharing the idea!
ReplyDeleteSelfies are hard to take. Mine never turn out well so I just don't do them. You look good. Hope the warm water helped Joe to feel better.
I hope your husbands back is healed quickly. It is horrible to endure that kind of pain. Thank goodness for the hot tub.
ReplyDeleteI think that wreath is the cutest I've seen. I can't believe that is yarn! It looks like moss so much. Very cute.
Congrats to your nephew. That's so wonderful.
You took a great selfie and those are so hard to take.
I think many of our town's citizens are returning from Florida right now. We lose a significant part in winter.
Have a wonderful weekend.
I agree, that wreath is sure pretty! That fuzzy yarn's a novel idea!
ReplyDeleteCongrats to your nephew on his next Big Step! Now you can say with a straight face (that) you've TWO doctors in your family ... hee-hee.
I've never figured how to do a selfie in the mirror, but yours is perfect. I usually just flip the camera upside down.
Your wreath is so cute with the little bird.
ReplyDeleteLove the cut-outs on the arms!
ReplyDeleteCute outfit and that wreath is really pretty. Hope you have a wonderful weekend.
ReplyDeleteIt's hard to believe you have been there that long. It's seems it was only a bit ago that you were packing. I'm glad it's been such a blessing to live there and make many new friends!
ReplyDeleteYou look nice in that photo! I like your haircut.
I love your wreath! It's sooo cute!
I love everything here, Terri! Please visit the pool and hot tub more often! You're so fortunate to have access to it. Lori and Anthony just got a hot tub and we love it. That top you're wearing! I LOVE it!! And the wreath too. I just can't believe you live there over a year. I still feel like you just moved!
