It's getting cold!

The days are so short and there is still so much to do! I thought I was ready for Fall but it looks like we are quickly moving towards Winter.

Paul had his appointment today and it went as good as can be expected. All of his numbers are where they should be and are improving each week. Yay for that!

Alayna and I went in to the hospital with Paul today so I could get a flu shot. I don't have a primary care doctor (luckily I don't ever really get sick) so they gave me one down there. I was totally fretting it - I HATE needles! I think I work myself up and make it worse than it really is. Yesterday Alayna got her flu shot at her Pediatrician's office. She also received a booster from another shot. One in each arm and my baby girl didn't even shed a tear. She is so tough. :P Certainly not like her mama.

A little bit of sad news though. My dad is in the hospital in New Mexico. He was having some seriously crippling back pain for the last week and after going to several doctors and urgent care - he was admitted into the hospital today. Late this afternoon he was taken into surgery. They believe he had some sort of infection. He came through ok and we are now waiting for results from the samples they took from his fluid. I really wish I could be there for my mom and dad.

Umm, what else. My show this weekend went well. I had fun and bought more than I made - that's for sure.





There were 19 different artisans from Mont Vernon. Half of us were in the community room in the new fire house and the other half were across the parking lot in the town hall. I was with the lucky bunch in the fire house.


My booth was right next to my wonderful friend Anita - who makes the most beautiful bracelets and her own boro glass lampwork beads.

The next showing for the Mont Vernon Artisans is for Spring Gala. Definately looking forward to that!

Your poor dad...my first thought was that you worked him too hard when he was there! I hope all turns out fine!
I'm glad you had fun at the show...your booth looked gorgeous!
