I’m Ba-ack!

Yes, it’s true. I’m back, but I don’t have time to talk. I lost yesterday to fatigue and head and body aches, so I’m scrambling today to catch up.

The weekend visit with my dad and step-mom was nice. I got to unplug completely, no computer usage or even TV. Good stuff! I didn’t do any stitching, either, but that’s okay. We had a great time and it was relaxing, once I got over my nerves.

We went and saw some lovely covered bridges Saturday evening and then went to dinner, where my step-mom choked on a piece of steak, scaring me half to death! My dad gave her the heimlich and she was okay, but understandably shaken. Enough throat-related trauma in this family, okay?

On Sunday, we slept in, then my dad and I had our chat while Terry slept a while longer. Then my dad and step-mom made us a yummy brunch of eggs and blueberry pancakes before we went to visit my grandmother for a while. While at my grandmother’s, we picked some fresh sweet corn from the fields behind her house and I laid on my back in the grass in her backyard, just taking in the sights and the loveliness of the day. Before we left, my grandmother gave me a lovely cameo necklace and clip-on earrings that my dad had given her at some time in the past. She said that she wanted to give me something as a remembrance of her, which was really sweet of her. I was so touched.

And then we packed up and went back home. And after sleeping the day away yesterday and working hard today, here I am!
