You have all heard that commercial ‘because I’m worth it’.  Well for me yesterday it wasn’t diamonds, chocolates, or even hair color, but it was flowers.  I have yearned for a bouquet of flowers for weeks now but felt it a waste of money.  I think sweet hubby believes that you have to be able to wear it, fix things with it, ride in or on it, gain knowledge from it, or eat it, otherwise it isn’t worth the investment.  But I couldn’t resist the $ 6.99 price to bring a bit of color and comfort into my life.  They weren’t all carnations but but they did fit the bill! 

Yesterday consisted of taking my truck to the dealership in Clio because my Check Engine light had been on a few days.  That is until I drove the 200 hundred feet down the driveway and then turned a sharp left onto Lake road.  Bingo—no light.  But being that this is my transportation I felt I needed to have it looked over even though it would cost $85 an hour.  At the dealership they tried to do a diagnostic but what ever it was cleared itself so they sent me home to drive it until it showed up again (no charge).  That rated a kiss on the forehead and I planted one there!

Now while I was waiting at the dealership I worked on my project again. 

Plus a couple of hours in front of the TV last night resulted in 25 inches completed ( half way my friend).  I’m going to make it even if I am the world’s slowest knitter!  It isn’t perfect but that is what it identifies it as—Mary made it—.  I have been trying to correct it as I go along but I still slipped up once in a while!  Hope the recipient doesn’t mind.

I got the letter saying that mammogram showed negative or normal but nothing on the stress test yet.  Oh well worrying about it won’t change the results and I have better things to do with my time. 

The ground is still squishy so I haven’t hauled out the rake yet but it is going to have to be done soon. I have to rake some gravel, from the driveway, out of the grass.  It was moved there by the snowplow attachment on the old Deere. I won’t have that problem next year because the new tractor has a snow blower on it.  Our new tractor/mower is getting the deck put on and will be back on Monday. 

Sweet hubby has been a bit under the weather with breathing problems but is back under the Doctor’s watchful eye more frequently than before.  Actually for all the problems that he has he is doing quite well.  I know he is fine because I’m getting my daily lectures on cooking, driving, and sometimes I feel even breathing.  But that is what comes of what soon will be 35 years together!

Letting Molly out for a few minutes this morning I spotted one of my bunnies sitting under the Quince bush again.  I really don’t know what the fascination is but then my ears aren’t long and my nose doesn’t twitch.  (At least not yet—but stranger things have happened so stay around ).
