My dad served in WWII in Italy and just 2 years ago arrived in Heaven after battling Alzheimer's for years.
One day before his mind started failing him, I called to check up on him as he was then living alone. He answered the phone in Italian, which was a great shock to me. I had never heard him even refer to that language before and it was a hoot! He just giggled and I lost it! I will never forget how much fun that was!
Saturday, we worked all day catching up on the gardening and some work on the house that had been put off for a while and needed to be done. Tired ourselves out I think. We are not quite as young as we used to be.
LB and I are not too sure how we like having to slow down! On Sunday I took a stroll in the woods on the property and enjoying taking a few stills. Hope you like them!
We tidied up the deck and did a little more gardening on Monday and then had a lovely cookout with the kids that afternoon. On Monday night I got a little more quilting done in the sewing studio. I'll post pictures soon of the items I am working on.
Have a great Tuesday everyone!
Blessings,
Pat

Hi Pat!
ReplyDeleteFirst, my heartfelt thanks for stopping by & your lovely comment
(you made my day :-) I'm looking forward to strolling thru your pages and beautiful projects!
LOL I know exactly what you mean about slowing down a bit - I can do as much as ever BUT it takes me longer now ~ then again I enjoy things more too. All in the tradeoffs as we live and learn I think....

That was a fun story. Thanks for sharing:) There is somthing so special about taking your own time in a quiet place taking photographs of the things around you. You become connected and see things in quite a different way. It's very relxing. Your stills are beautiful.
