It's not Sunday. But sure does feel like it. I'm tired! Carole enjoyed the visit but was anxious to return and rest. Very uncomfortable in that wheelchair for hours, missed the pain pill dose, and exhausted. The shells were very good, but not like the creamy filling of Polly-O. It's hard to explain, but anything with the slightest texture feels like sand on my destroyed tongue. Painful, and more so when trying to remove the tiny particles from crevices and fissures. Who would think that a soft cheese like ricotta can feel like sand? I made the almond cake that Vera led us to, it was wonderful and simple. She's back now and resting, we're meeting her at the surgeon's office Monday to remove stitches (maybe) and check her progress.
Happy new year everyone.

Bless your heart, dear one. What a day of comfort you provided while needing a Polly-O
fix yourself. You made everything as perfect as possible for Carole and everyone, but
her fatigue is understandable and,hopefully, she will build up the stamina needed and
will adjust to times out of routine. As to the borders, be as expedient as possible and
"make do"...remember the plane flying over. Hope you can hear this through the fireworks and horns.....May you and yours have a most blessed New Year, a great improvement over
the last and the gifts of good health and well being.
Glad things went relatively well with Carole`s visit, you deserve a rest (or a long winter`s nap)! Your stitching is wonderful despite the glitch and your remedy sounds perfect. I`ve become good at ripping out stitches or improvising on the fly. As I get older I care less about perfection. On that note I`m wishing you and Mark (and the brats) a perfectly wonderful New Year - happy, HEALTHY, wealthy, delightful in most every way. Take care Marly!
Happy to hear all went almost well with Carole's visit and inderstandable she was tired after such a long time only staying in her room and not being in a car travelling for a long time.
Sorry to hear you had such a trouble with dinner. I wish I know something that will help you with these problems and your eyes too.
Hope you can take some rest before seeing her doctor.
If I would you,I did the stitching inside first before ripping out the border again.In that way you have to make perhaps less improving at the border. Hope you understand what I try to tell....
Marly and Mark a very happy,healthy, wonderful,creative and blessed New Year with no troubles.
Lots of love to you, Truus from Holland
Happy New Year, Marly, Mark and Carole.
May God bless you with a much easier year than the last few have been.
Prayers for good progress for Carole.
So sorry that food is giving your tongue a problem.
I have difficulties with what I eat too........due to the colon cancer surgery and colostomy. Life is NOT easy and getting older doesn't help.
Prayers for happiness and better times in the new year.

friendly from françoise ,
Happy New Year! Wishing you a 2022 filled with happiness, good health, and special memories.
I'm glad Carole's home visit went OK. I totally understand her exhaustion - being pretty much bed bound for months, a 2nd major surgery in 3(?) months, missing pain medication, it takes a lot out of a person. I hope it inspires her to get serious about whatever therapy and training she gets with the prothesis and chair handling so she can be at home again and as independent as possible.
I wasn't even thinking about texture when you were sad to not find your Polly-O ricotta. At least it tasted OK, it'd been the sh... I mean total bummer if it didn't taste good besides being painful. And bummer on Rachel's border. Sometimes I find my counting error in a place not even close to where I see the error starts. I think I'd do as Truus suggests - finish the rest then consider the border.
I wish you & Mark, and Carole, a much better 2022.
I, too, think it is Sunday...just like I thought last Saturday was Sunday....so shouldn't that make it feel like Monday? I 110% agree on the frustration of not being able to see where the error "began." I did that on a little BBD sewing roll I did and when I finally found the "root" of the problem, it was in the very first little motif I stitched so the entire thing would have had to been ripped out and done over. It was the first time that I (knowingly" left an error in. I tried to compensate on the border and each time I turned a corner the error magnified. GAH! The final slap in my face came when I realized the 2 side borders would be right next to each other when the piece was sewn together. Serves meright I suppose. Glad the visit went basically well but sounds you will be hitting the new year running with an appointment already scheduled for Monday. Happy New Year Miss Marly - may it be filled with wonderful things, relaxing times and good health. ~Robin~
