Shiny

With the rain we have had, it has turned green again with plants exuberantly growing.

Socks

And, since I was stuck this morning participating in a pre-op treasure hung for lab, EKG, and signatures at Landstuhl, I needed a sock that I could pick up and put down. Kew as a matter of fact. The yarn is Merino/Tencel Seacoast Handpaint in colorways Summer Berries. It is just lovely. I have Embers + Coal & Fire still in my stash.

My show time in the morning is 0630. I even get to bring the DH, since I had to sign a paper stating that someone was taking me home and that I was not going to be alone for the next 24 hours. I am not a good patient, I would much rather be alone. But I have not figured out how to drive a standard transmission right after getting my right shoulder fixed. Doing something that stupid would defeat the purpose of the surgery. At least that is my story, and I am sticking to it.
Expect not much more than an – I’m alive – tomorrow evening.

About Holly

fiber person - knitter, spinner, weaver who spent 33 years being a military officer to fund the above. And home. And family. Sewing and quilting projects are also in the stash. After living again in Heidelberg after retiring (finally) from the U.S. Army May 2011, we moved to the US ~ Dec 2015. Something about being over 65 and access to health care. It also might have had to do with finding a buyer for our house. Allegedly this will provide me a home base in the same country as our four adult children, all of whom I adore, so that I can drive them totally insane. Considerations of time to knit down the stash…(right, and if you believe that…) and spin and .... There is now actually enough time to do a bit of consulting, editing. Even more amazing - we have only one household again. As long as everyone understands that I still, 40 years into our marriage, don't do kitchens or bathrooms. For that matter, not being a golden retriever, I don't do slippers or newspapers either. I don’t miss either the military or full-time clinical practice. Limiting my public health/travel med/consulting and lecturing to “when I feel like it” has let me happily spend my pension cruising, stash enhancing (oops), arguing with the DH about where we are going to travel next and book buying. Life is good!
