Whilst Iris Naps Designs, the tiny sampler that will be mounted on the spool.  

I do not like working on this wimpy older WDW Beige linen.  But my inventory listing once again led me to a proper size linen piece in the 40 count bag very quickly.  I would have spent quite some time searching and measuring previously.  The floss is DMC 839 simply because it was handy.  I like it.  Not too strong of a brown, more muted, and was within reach of my lazy self.

Saw the doctor today, he removed stitches, the pin of course stays in place for another three weeks.  I've already had enough of this extremely uncomfortable surgical shoe.   

My cousin Mike (my mother's sister's boy who is the reason I am here) had a heart attack today.  Hard to believe, but his left ventricle had no blood, 100% blockage in the right coronary artery and a 90% blockage elsewhere.  The hospital he was tranferred to is a 25 minute drive, but it was so critical to act immediately that they used the helicopter to shorten that trip to 5 minutes.  He had no symptoms, no warning, until today when he collapsed.  He and his wife have a camp on Lake Erie and Mike comes home on Wednesdays to golf, but this time she came home with him which is unusual.  Thank God she did.  He feels a lot better now with two stents and restored blood flow.  If you remember, my mother was smitten with this adorable baby and decided to have one more, me.  It's why my sister is 13 years older.

Petey is still shoving his head to me for scratching.  And then he slaps me silly.

It is very painful to say, but it's October.  

WHAT???????  

WHEN?????????
