Crochet Report

 I finished the Shell Stitch Granny Square Blanket.  It was Stylecraft Special DK in Parchment and Denim.  It ended up using 2 plus skeins of Parchment and 1 skein of Denim.

Perfect size for a baby.

I shopped upstairs in my stash for the next colors.  I chose Shrimp and Apricot in Stylecraft Special DK.  I have 3 skeins of Shrimp and 2 of Apricot so this blanket may be a tad bigger...time will tell.

Very girly colors!

I enjoy this particular stitch and it works well for the yarn I have on hand...thus reducing the stash! 

Minnesota weather:  Cool   High was 59F or 15C  Low was 51F or 11C  it rained most of the day on Monday just a nice gentle rain.

What's cooking?  GF Creamy Rice Soup and GF Cheddar Bay Biscuits

Hopeful

We may have a clue to my tummy problems.  Day 21.  I am still on a very limited diet.  

 I did a bit of research on one of the medications I am on for blood pressure.  Olmesartan medoxomil can cause tummy troubles.  So I discontinued the medication and sent a message to my primary care Dr to see what he thinks.   The intense burning in my stomach is gone. My stomach is still sore.

Hopeful. 

Summer is most likely over.  The weather turned a tad chilly. 

Minnesota weather: High 65F or 18C  Low was 38F or 3C

We went out to our favorite patio place for lupper.  I had a hard shell taco...a margaritta with no alcohol...which is just lime flavored ice.

This week I have an appointment for a different kind of injection in my back...hopeful.

Cousins Bonnie and Wayne

 Yesterday we had a very nice visit with Far Guy's cousin Bonnie and her husband Wayne.  Wayne had knee surgery this Summer and is finally walking and feeling like company.  

It was good to catch up with all things family before they go back to their Winter home in Florida. 

Bonnie's Impatiens...looking really good in the cooler temperatures on Saturday. 

Recently it was Bonnie and Wayne's 60th Wedding Anniversary!  Their son shared a photo of them...and so will I.

The smiles say it all ...still mostly happily married!  Happy 60th Anniversary!
