Woot! Just saw your pic of your totem on Facebook. It's wonderful!

Oh, CC! That's a lot on your plate at one time. I'm sorry you're having to deal with all that.
I'm sending my very best wishes for your dad's return to good health. I know you're doing all you can for him. Sending you best wishes, too.

Quick check in. My dad is in ICU with another clogged stent. The hospital didn?p't have one like it to replace it. Ane after 6 hours in the ER in Flagstaff, driving 3 hours to Mayo in Scottsdale and then starting over with the ER waiting an additional 6 hours would have made his kidney a ticking timebomb. So we opted to stay in Flag for a procedure he has not had before (a nephrostomy) to poke a hole through his back into the kidney to drain it while they try to order a new stent. I feel so terrible for him. It will be a long slog back to good health and strength.
In between driving through snow and ice to and from Flagstaff (finally got a small storm), I had to do the budget for the non-profit I am leaving, train my treasurer replacement in how to put together the regular treasurer's report, and be around for the totem pole assembly guy. It looks good. Kirby already stole an Eagle feather and chewed on it. Grr. I'm tired.
Hope you all are well. Hopefully I'll be back to reading and posting soon. Take care

Yay for the return of warmer weather to all who yearn for it. High here today will be 50, and it's sunny.
I'm at the laundromat doing big loads. Thank goodness those are still around. The folks here who run it are super nice and helping klutz-me with how to operate the machines.
This afternoon we have a doctor visit for my husband.
The builders are now laying the primary bath shower and heated floor. Tile goes down soon, and it will be fun to watch the transformation, since we ripped out the original bath built in 1952. That's a 73-year old bathroom!
If I had more news I'd share it, but this isn't a Tumultuous Tuesday.

Still on the Keys. It is going to be a beautiful day as it was yesterday. We did float around in the pool yesterday which is quite small but can have jets turned on in the shallow end to make it like a spa tub. Very nice.
Good dinner out with a fish sandwich and really good fries cut fresh.
DH wants to leave before lunch and stop to eat on the way. I am on-board with that but would rather leave on the later side (like 1) vs his goal of leaving at 11. It is a 5 hour ride home but I don't mind getting home a bit late though I think he wants to be earlier because he is playing golf early tomorrow.
The long term forecast for our area of Florida through 2/11 is mostly sunny every day with temps between 75-79. Yeah! Warm winter in Florida has returned!
Have a talented Tuesday!

I hope your Mom improves. It seems like some people who have a cognition downturn after a hospitalization get it back eventually when back home but some not. Hopefully it is the former for your Mom.

LOL on pencil joke. I have eaten alligator a couple of times. It is best fried vs grilled as it tends to be tough if grilled.

What a fantastic opportunity! Your aunt is truly a fairly godmother! And you are certainly going to start retirement with a bang. My MIL used to say she had to retire because she didn't have time to work anymore - sounds like that is going to be true for you too.
I hope you feel better! I have had weird sleep the last few nights too where I sleep for about an hour during which I have a weird dream then wake up. I fall asleep again in a bit and repeat the cycle. Many short, weird dreams but not medication induced for me.

I agree with DD that quilts are art. I had 3 beautiful quilts that my great-grandmother made which were works of art IMO. My niece and nephew have them now.
