Sunday morning

 Here it is Sunday, the sun is bright and there is a definite cool breeze out there. Today will be an errand to Lowes, and also to Walmart for paper supplies and not much else. Grocery shopping will have to be another day. My hand is swollen again and very painful so I will of course wear my brace and use topical medication. Are you asking why the hand .....well I knew I could do something yesterday so I did it and now I pay the consequences. I still have that I can do this and I am independent thing going on....sadly I then pay for it one way or another. Believe me, I am not trying to prove to anyone but myself. I finally do not think about what others may think. Living alone is still new and hard to adjust to. I broke a promise that I made to my friends....

the Buoy Bell arrived last night and when I opened it this morning I just had to hang it.....up high of course so that meant the ----step ladder!. I was slow and very careful. Now that it is up it needs to be adjusted !...not today though. While on the ladder I found that there is a Dove egg on the clock! I shall watch it and let you know if we have a nesting pair.
You all know that The Brother Alan and Lisa left yesterday morning after being here two weeks. The house is once again just me. Before leaving The Brother Alan filled the car with gas and even went through a car wash. An email confirmed that it was cold back in Rhode Island. I do believe this will be a long week for them! It was a good visit and we kept busy but also made time to relax and we did laugh ... we did laugh.  Lisa and I made a memory box for their room.

It was my pleasure to make this for her. She choose the items and I assembled.  I love using shadow boxes.
Right now I need the brace on my hand, medication on it and a cup of fresh brewed coffee. Thank you for visiting with me and for your kind words and for you valued friendship. Over the next week I will share some pictures and stories of The Brother Alan's visit. We did have a good time.
