Hi everyone. Happy sunny Sunday. (Edit-Mary just informed me that it is indeed SATURDAY!) I got the outside of windows done yesterday, one broke. Older Andersen double hung and that's the second one that had the exterior pane crack and break. Hoping an Andersen service person can come out to replace but they haven't answered my calls. This afternoon I would like to sit on my swing and enjoy the two magazines I received.
Carole saw the local cardiologist office doctor that caused her Torsades in 2014. He left the room, the ICU, showed up to get paid for the pacemaker implant (the only course to stop it after EIGHT code blue revivals), then never came into her hospital room for the rest of her stay. Not a word. Another doctor had to take over. I was and am furious over this. But she needed to see him since the other doctors have left town. He was wonderful. Never apologized, but made her feel safe and cared for, offered to speak directly with Dr. Estep in Cleveland, and she is very pleased with him. Did fear cause his lack of action? Embarrassment? Was he unable to face the patient? Now Carole believes that was the case. If so, he is a heart specialist and should be able to face his failure and not abandon his patient. She requested I sit this one out and not attend the appointment with her, you have a hint why. I saw the young doctor that killed my father in a Macy's parking lot and started toward him. He turned and saw me, decided to run back to his car rather than enter the store. The only smart thing he ever did.
Mark golfed yesterday and one of the regulars, so well liked and kept them in stitches with his humor, did not show. They got word two hours later that he had a massive heart attack and passed at 62. One neighbor lost a sister, another a father, Carole lost several friends in the last few months. All unexpected.
Almost done with the 4-sided stitch. Just a few more eyelet letters. Completed the first two rows and can now work the right border. After the eyelet row and dividing band, it's several rows of one color and should be an easy work.
Enjoy your day folks.

Just for the record it is Saturday...that is awful about Mark's golfing friend. You never know which can be devastating. Sudden death is always so awful. I just got a catalogue for Goldenrod they have slim trees but pricey they are offering 20% and free shipping. Maybe after Christmas the have a better sale. Stay well. PS Glad Carole found a better Doctor.
I love reading your posts Marly, they are all reflections of life the way it really is. There`s beauty, like your incredible mums that bring pleasure to the eye; there`s the feeling of satisfaction,that feeling you get from having those clean windows; anger and sorrow of losing a loved one and everything in between. It`s trite but true, enjoy life while you can and try to take pleasure in the little things. Reading your blog is a little treasure that usually brings a smile to my face, thank you for taking the time out of your day to reach out to us all.Enjoy your weekend!
My husband's nephew passed a month ago--age 61--massive heart attack
Oh that is looking mighty fine Missy Marly! Love your colors...and I am really loving that linen as well. I think I have narrowed down my "bud" color change (yes, I am commited do changing it out if I can get those 7 I did out) to 2. So many that I am liking, but only one can make the cut. Sorry to read of Mark's golfing bud. I think the stress of "these days" is taking it tolls in ways peope don't imagine. Glad Carole's heart doc is "practicing" better....Perhaps his past will make him try to compensate and make his present and future with Carole more mindful and attentive. ~Robin~
Marly: I am so sorry Mark lost his friend, 62 is too young.
I feel so sorry for Carole, she has had a hard time with doctors, I hope this one works out.
Lovely sampler, the colors are so sweet together.
Yes my dear it is Saturday, feels like Sunday to me.

I hope this Dr. works for Carole. I do love the sampler you are stitching.
Praying for Carole. Don't know about doctors now days.
Don't know how you voted but here in my home there is much grief.
Sorry about Mark's friend. So sad.
We've had some beautiful weather days. I hope they will continue for a while longer.
Love to see the new samplers that you're stitching.
I need to get an appointment with my eye doctor. Think I need new lenses.
Take care, enjoy your Sunday.

So very sorry of all the losses you have had recently. I hope Carole is taken care of by this Dr. Your stitching is looking good. Stay safe.
Beautiful work
So sad to read about Mark's golfing buddy--62 is way too young to go. And it is so hard on the family when it is sudden. Hope Carole's doctors are better this round. Medicine sure has changed through the years--not for the better. I know my Grandpa and my dad who were both doctors are looking down from above and just shaking their heads. Take care now, Marly... things seem to be heating up again with Covid. Let's hope and pray this new vaccine comes through ♥
