This & That

Hello all my bloggy friends!  We have officially moved from Texas to South Carolina.  We've been here a couple weeks, but still living out of boxes. This house is a project. The drywall isn't finished getting mudded and sanded yet, so only 2 rooms are actually painted. My hubby, Tom, is working hard on building me some kitchen cabinets. I love that he can do stuff like that. It's going to be gorgeous when we are through, but it sure would be nice to have closet shelving and rods to hang clothes on.... Oh well.... maybe soon.

My Cricut is still packed.  I've been enjoying crocheting. I've completed 2 baby blankets, 2 sofa blankets, and 2 runners for the piano or coffee table, etc. I'm working on a 3rd baby blanket right now.  Crocheting is so very relaxing.

Our son, James, got married on Sunday!  Welcome to the family, Nhi!

Bonnie & I went to the library today. She picked out 12 books from the children's section. She LOVES going to the library.  I asked the librarian if Bonnie could participate in the summer Read To Me program, but she said Bonnie was too old.  I just smiled and said okay, but inside I was hurt and surprised.  Technically, Bonnie is too old.  She's 17.  But she also has special needs and her mentality is like a toddler. She can't read or say a lot of words, but she loves looking at books and pointing to stuff like flowers, animals, planes, etc.  I decided we'd just make our own summer reading chart with goals and prizes.  I'll make something on the computer and post it on the frig.  It will be fun!  Bltzzzz to the library lady.

Here is a link to my Goodreads.com page.  I made a bookshelf just for Bonnie if you want to see what she picked out today.

She's so cute.  She'd pick up a book, bring it to the table, set it down, and then pat it.  I swear she's the happiest child in the world.  Yesterday, she wasn't feeling too good.  She didn't eat a big breakfast or hardly any lunch and didn't want supper at all.  Poor darling was hot with a fever, but I couldn't find the thermometer in all the packed boxes.  Talk about looking for a needle in a haystack!  I put my nightgown on her and wiped her with a cool, wet washcloth.  She loved the washcloth on her face.  I couldn't sleep well last night because I was so worried about her. I kept having weird dreams and then waking up and praying for her all night.  This morning, her fever was gone, and she's acting like herself again.  Don't know what that was about yesterday, but glad it's GONE!

Have fun this week!  I hope to start unpacking my crafting goodies and getting my craft room organized this week.

Hugs!
