A break in blogging

I am rather behind with blogging.  It has been a summer with forest fires with evacuations.  Then I started Physical Therapy as I learned from xrays that I have advanced osteoarthritis of the hips.  It is in both hips and is quite painful.  I will be seeing an Orthopedic specialist in a few months.  But I still craft and go to sewing class and try to stay active.

A blogging afternoon with lazy dazey days

I went out this morning to feed the cats, check the water bowls for all the visiting animals, then sat on the deck with a cup of coffee.  Sewing class at the senior center was on my mind  so I gathered my embroidery projects set off down the road to a wonderful gathering of sewists.

When I came home I ate lunch and then napped.  I now sit by the water cooler reading emails and checking my eBay Auctions.  Several of my listings that are on mentioned on  twitter have the hashtag #ChristmasinJuly.  It is 97 outside not exactly December weather.  But it does make for lovely mornings and after dinner evenings.

Won some covers and am waiting to receive them in the mail.  I will now be researching Twin Bridges, Montana.

The Alaska Packers' Association (APA) was a San Francisco based manufacturer of Alaska canned salmon founded in 1891 and sold in 1982. As the largest salmon packer in Alaska, the member canneries of APA were active in local affairs, and had considerable political influence. The Alaska Packers' Association is best known for operating the "Star Fleet," the last fleet of commercial sailing vessels on the West Coast of North America, as late as 1927.
