Going on a diet~~~~~

 Another beautiful morning here in The Valley of the Sun. Yesterday it almost hit 90 and today more of the same. Speaking of yesterday, Murphy went to the vet for his yearly check up and shots..... $$$ later and what we know. His teeth are in great condition (must be from the gnawing on butcher bones) and his heart is beating just fine.  BUT, yes he is going on a diet... he weighed in at 28 pounds and we are both going to loose 5 pounds. That is correct, he needs to loose 5 pounds.  We will not discuss what I should loose so let's leave it at 5 pounds too.

My cardio testing is moving along.... gotta love The Brother Alan. I told him my last test was today and so he got up and ready as did I and Lisa commented that my appointment was not today...it is next Monday! My mind is someplace~~~ Lisa and I went to the quilt shop 

4 new fabrics....for 2 projects. We also stopped top get a bin for her to organize her sewing and embellishment stuff. Proud of how well she is doing. 
I also found fabric perfect for a Travel Pillowcase... will be flying to RI soon. Today I will get it made.... since I do not have to go for my cardio test! 
I may even bake.... but not with this Pyrex measuring cup!
Slipped right out of my hands. My hands just do not always work well.... and that affects my crafting as well as other activities. Looks like when it hit the ceramic tile it stayed in a bunch. Not so! It was all over the place and we have a large kitchen. Seems that I managed to get it all... lots of slivers and yes I did get a tiny cut. Importantly, Murphy did not get hurt as I put him behind closed door in the bedroom. 

Alan and Lisa brought me something from their honeymoon...



These are out in our front area which we are re-doing. It is a shade area ( the bit of sun is what it gets) so not much grows well there.  Aren't they nice. We will be adding metal flowers to the blue pot next which is moving to the corner of the gravel area (opposite where it is). 
Off I must go to do a few chores before I can get to sew. So nice to chat with you. Thank you for your kind words and for your friendship.
