Happenings
Good morning! How are you? After a wonderful cold snap, it's now getting warm again but thankfully not overly warm and the nights are still cool. AND it's September, finally!
Over the weekend, we celebrated our granddaughter's second birthday with family and friends. I enjoyed seeing everyone and of course watching her delight as she opened up her gifts, two years old is a wonderful age! I'm sure she will be in the terrible twos soon, but for right now she is happy and compliant and full of energy and discovery.
We celebrated our 38th wedding anniversary on Friday! We went out to lunch at a new to us Chinese restaurant. They had a HUGE sakura (cherry blossom) tree in the middle of the eating area. I loved it! The food was fantastic as well.
I saw my arthritis doctor and there's a chance I will be adding a medicine to manage symptoms. I guess I'll know in a week or so after some testing results. I'm not happy about it more medicines but I am happy if it settles down my myriad of symptoms.
I am on the sleeves of the granddaughter's holiday sweater. The yarn is a wool-acrylic blend and my hands do not like it at all (sore and achy). I've purchased the same yarn for my grandson's holiday sweater which is next in line.
I get to see two of my grands nearly every day - I am living my best life ever. Our third grandchild is due near the end of September and they live in the Boston area. I see some travels coming up.
How have you been? Are you happy for September and cool weather? Or are you a summer lover?
I have also appreciated this weather... so much! It is pure delight to head out in the chill of the morning! XO
ReplyDeleteWhat a blessing that you get to be part of your grandchildren's daily lives! I hope that your doctor can help you manage your symptoms and that you can get some relief! Happy 2nd birthday to your granddaughter and happy anniversary to you and your husband! Enjoy your Labor Day and the week ahead!
ReplyDeleteWhat a pretty color yarn. Loved the pictures.
ReplyDeleteYour post is so warm and full of life. I love hearing about your grands and your anniversary. September really sounds like a month of joy for you. I hope your new medicine helps and that your sweaters turn out beautifully despite the sore hands.
ReplyDeleteI'm definitely happy that it is September! Karen, I am sorry that there's a possibility that you may need to add another medication for the arthritis, but if it comes to pass, I sincerely pray that it helps all of the symptoms that you are dealing with. Love your granddaughter's holiday sweater...that color is gorgeous! I'm so glad that you are able to spend more time with your grands now that they have moved closer to you. Grandchildren are a delight!
ReplyDeleteHappy Anniversary! Hard to believe your granddaughter is already 2. Time flies! Beautiful yarn for her sweater.
ReplyDeleteHappy Anniversary! The sweater looks very pretty. I wish the yarn was kinder to your hands. Two is a fun age in many ways - so much wonder to discover.
ReplyDeleteHappy Anniversary.. Spending time with the grand.. especially at this age is so precious.
