I was finally able to clear out some books… and ‘treated’ myself with a couple new ones, in addition to selecting a few that I have that I haven’t read yet.. and a couple I want to read again. Hence, the new grouping of books on my nightstand.
Looking back…. this week has had lots of really good moments. Both of my kids are visiting… and it’s been great to have them both here. Kristin has done quite a bit of cooking this week for us, and has made some really stellar meals. The weather has been decidedly spring-like…. still chilly… but showing promise. Yes, there were a couple days where it was chilly and rainy… but I love those days too.
Tomorrow will be 4 weeks since ZeeZe passed, and I am still broken about it. That said, I have begun looking at sites that feature senior dogs in local rescues. We’ll see. I really miss having a furry companion.
And… I’ve been slowly getting back into being more creative again. I ordered some beads I saw online, and have sorted out several groupings of beads for earrings. I have ideas floating in my head for potential necklaces…. now it’s just a matter of getting the energy. Carry on folks! see you next week….
top row: White branch coral and fantastic tiny faceted turquoise from the Southwest
bottom row: red coral rondelles (dyed), rose quartz rondelles, pastel beryl barrel shaped beads , white druzy quartz, rutilated quartz rounds, tourmaline, sapphires, and garnets!
