So Much Time on My Hands....

Just wanted to check in and say hello...

As the title implies....this week I have time on my hands!

Last Friday I had arthroscopic surgery on my right shoulder so

I  have this week off work!

I am limited in the mobility of my right arm until I see the doc

on Thur so have done a lot of reading and started a

Granny Stripe afghan! 

Taaadaaaa...

The motion of crocheting doesn't seem to bother

me but I can't do my embroidery...

tomorrow I may try again using different motion and movement.

Oh... I almost forgot to share with you the beautiful fruit arrangement

my work sent to me...

It was such a treat and incredibly delicious!

On Saturday, after my surgery, we went to the Tucson Festival of Books!

It was something we have looked forward to for a year!  This was the

third one the city has hosted and it was fantastic! 

I was hoping I had enough drugs (if needed!) to

get me through it but I was fine.

It goes for both Sat & Sun on the campus of the

University of Arizona and hosts many local authors and panels

of discussions...

This is the first time we actually sat in on a discussion...

It was a discussion of Genres of Literature which included a local author, J.A. Jance.

She is the 2nd from the right.

I bought the first book in her Ali Reynolds series, Edge of Evil.

She was nice enough to autograph it as well. 

I ususally try to buy at least one book from a local author.

I actually got a project finished last week!

I am trying to use up yarns in my stash and may a baby afghan...

I thought it turned out cute! 

I went with the old "brain dead" pattern of a Granny Square...

it's one of my favorites!

Tomorrow I will take the kid to try for his driving permit again!

Hopefully he passes and can work his way to his license!

I can't figure kids these days...it seems that he and most of his

friends are in no hurry to drive!

I remember back in the "old" days, when you got your license

at 15 yrs old and were waiting outside the door the second after midnight!

He is almost 17 yrs old and I have to drag him down there!

So.... till next time!
