truly blessed

 Well, I have not written in months. I was busy taking a Perspectives class at my church. It has changed my perspectives on life. I still have a paper to write in order to receive my certificate. I was called for jury duty and I did not have to show up. I entered my 100% whole wheat bread in the fair and it won 2nd place. My knitting did not earn any ribbons but I am not sure about the judges.

There was a gorgeous shawl that did not win anything. I also told the monitors that it was displayed backwards--the purl side was showing. The shawl could have been blocked better but the pattern was outstanding.

I have been busy playing nurse to my dh. He was in what could have been an awful accident. He was in the crosswalk riding his bicycle when a gal turning right on red, turned with her looking left. She did not see dh at all. her suv ran over his left foot. As he fell backwards, his right ankle was severely sprained.

Why am I thankful? DD#4 was on the sidewalk watching the scene unfold before her eyes. She attempted to scream but no words came out. I am so thankful that she was not first in the sidewalk. I am thankful that only dh's feet are affected. He is still in a lot of pain. Classes are over for him...graduation was on the 23rd. He had to cancel attendance at one committee meeting. Dd#4 has not had any nightmares.

My nephew graduated from college. The ceremony was very nice. The weather was uncooperative and we nearly froze our tushies off. the college was making a brisk business selling sweatshirts. I had planned on it being hot so I prepared 2 big water jugs with ice water. Hot chocolate would have been more appropriate.

I am on the planning committee for a year end formal for my homeschool group. It is coming along nicely. My dds were able to find nice dresses to wear. I now have to go shoe shopping with them. Actually all dc need dress shoes.

My in-laws are celebrating their 50th wedding anniversary with a big party. All childen have appropriate dress clothes to wear but no shoes. Ds picked out a dress shirt and tie that he keeps wearing. He loves to look nice.

Pictures to follow.
