Beads and a boat

Well... I love receiving mail and packages... don't you?
Lovely Catherine sent me an assortment of crystal beads and there are 2 of just what I needed for the dragonfly! Perfect color and size. Thank you so very much Catherine.💖Our blogging community is very caring and helpful.
The weather yesterday morning was delightful. I actually sat outside and did some beading. Following doctor's orders to relax.... not that the pressure is down much. Waiting for the med change to take hold and help. The last several nights we have had Monsoon storms! Although I know how to swim, I thought it best to take precautions. I built a boat! 

There was thunder, lighting, wind and rain. Lots of large puddles too. Dianna called one of the nights to chat while it stormed so I would not have to go into the closet. Technically the Monsoon season has ended so of course that is why the rains are here. Happily I am not in a flood area but there were flash floods here and there. 
 I have a appointment this morning then  maybe just maybe get to sit outside and bead again. The Pink and Blue dragonfly is half finished. I do need to go to JC Penny for a new pair of sneakers, but that should not take long at all. Are you counting? The Brother Alan and Lisa will soon be on the way here. They are driving and Alan sent me the map/path they will take so I can follow the journey. Glad you had time to stop by and visit. Thank you for the kind words and for your friendship.
Please keep my friends Glenda and Don in your thoughts.... Sometimes it is all we can do for someone we care about. They have both been very good friends to me.

Gracie: I am so happy you like the beads I sent, I have loads of beads and love sharing, you see many of my family members like to try things, if they do not like what they are doing I am the drop off station which I am not against.
I am looking forward to seeing your next butterfly finish.
Yahoo they will be at your home soon.

The boat.....well done! Were you a Girl Scout, and always prepared, lol. Hope the weather improves for you and your rest and enjoyment of beading outdoors helps your pressure. What a nice surprise from the mailman!
