...Time Heals All Wounds...

Another week has went by and I'm wondering just where it went! I'm still taking it easy and on Doctor's orders, taking one more week of rest. My two issues are sharp stomach pains and tiring easily. However, the need to create is getting stronger and stronger. It's almost like the thumping heartbeat of Davy Jones in "Pirates of the Caribbean"... thump, thump... thump, thump...I hear it and it's calling me!!

Okay, I know that may be too dramatic but a week ago I had no desire to do anything so I like to think of this as a good sign... ~ Progress!!~...

Thank you all so much for the kind words and patience whilst I become me again. Be on the lookout for eye candy coming soon!!

Take Care,

Tina

...Road to Recovery ...

Thank you all so much for your kind words and emails. I'm starting to feel a little better now since my stomach surgery. I still get a little tired if I push too far and do too much but a nice little rest always helps...I really want to start piddling around again in my sewing room but I'll wait a little bit longer before traipsing up to the attic for that... This recovery business is taking a little longer than I had expected!!

Whilst recovering over the weekend I found a wonderful movie that drew me in from the very beginning. I just had to write a little bit about it because it's worth watching...more than once!! "Julie & Julia" is such an inspiring movie and it's more like two movies running parallel to each other so you really get to know both women... In my early married years I loved to watch all the PBS chefs and Julia Child was always a flamboyant character ...(I wanted to cook gourmet dinners for my lucky new husband but I just never found the time and we never had the money either)... After watching this movie, I saw what an interesting and inspiring life she (Julia) led plus she had a very happy marriage too ... Amy Adams (Julie) was great too...Taking on the task of cooking every recipe in Julia Child's famous cookbook and blogging about it as she went along... All I can say is...you gotta see this great movie!! TWO THUMBS UP !!

...What a Difference a Week Makes...

Wow, I have been away from my computer now for about a week. I was just released from the hospital yesterday after being there for the last eight days. If you would have told me two weeks ago that this was in my future, I would have been completely dumbstruck and yet it all happenend out of the blue... You really find out what is important in life when yours is turned upside down and taken off course... I had stomach surgery last Monday and I'm still sore and weak but I'm recovering....Thank you so much for continuing to visit my blog when I was away...I really appreciate it. Please bear with me while I move slowly and heal this week. I should be back into the swing of things next week...
My Humble Thanks....
Take Care,
Tina

...Birdwatching...

Wow, I love my camera!! This little titmouse was a good distance from me when I zoomed in on him...It looks like I was standing beside him...technology is great!!

*******

Fun fact for ya: I love birdwatching and I still try to teach my grown-up kids how to identify bird songs!! I always ask them what bird they hear chirping... They just roll their eyes at me but I think you should take an interest in the nature around you...If you know what bird you are listening to, it's much more interesting and it's satisfying when you find out you're right!!...and yes, I do get carried away with this!!! *LOL*

Take Care,

Tina
