My box 'fixing up' will be on hold for awhile. Just know I'll be 'lurking' -- I was out walking yesterday (broad daylight) and tripped and fell. Yep, you guessed it - broke my shoulder. Got the humerus bone right at the shoulder. In a 'stabilizer' - at least it dtdn't require surgery or an overnight in the hospital. Made a three-point landing - got the right knee pretty bad, my left hand and elbow plus the shoulder. Ever saw "The Walking Dead"? That's what I feel like. Pretty sore this a.m.

Oh ouch, that makes me hurt just to think about it! Also sounds like something I would do, I fall off of my feet pretty regularly. My hubby keeps telling me I need a walker.

What is a stabilizer? Is that when they wrap it up instead of a cast, that's what they did when I broke my collar bone. Sending you virtual hugs, cuz the real ones would probably hurt.

rosemary, aka ladybug, thank you so much for my wonderful tissue holder. sorry no pics yet as i haven't found my camera yet. it is made in a black & white patterned floral fabric and just lovely. thanks for thinking of me,:)

on another note: i think i have become the stray animal whisperer in my new neighborhood. somehow strays see me and know that i will feed them. they start talking to me, meowing at me or just looking at me with long sad puppy dog faces. 1st there was one cat, now there are 2. the dog just got my dinner and kept going.

i have a soft spot for strays since both of my furbabies were stray rescues. maybe they neighborhood strays can "smell" that on me.:D either way i now need to go buy big bags of cat & dog food to keep in my trunk.

up north is the keeper of rak info now????????? wow i have been gone a while.

No I am not the keeper of the RAK that was a misunderstanding on someones part.
If Quiltly Lousie is no longer doing it and no one else steps in it will fizzle out.

I was also RAKed the same way by MRSAJ11 I am sorry I didn't post before this, I am absolutely swamped between moving, closing on the house I am selling in 2 weeks, all the people who need to come through, i.e. termite radon home inspectors, well inspectors, appraisers, etc, as well as a craft show I am doing this weekend. Believe it or not, I also start jury duty Mon. All the treats have been keeping me going MRS AS11. thanks so much.. Your timing is impeccable. mary

Kathleen, so sorry for your fall, im a klutz also. Getting my left knee replaced oct 22.
Ive had alot of part replaced,transplanted, and now bionics from the ears down. I sympathize with you.
havplenty, before my dh and i got this cond, we were kitties like crazy anywhere fro 4-20 at a time,plus an opposum whos mommy died at the end of our driveway.if i had nothing to feed them, they would get pasta and butter. My kitty would let the n and play with them. I think they can smell it on us. Were suckas for a cute fa e

Sorry to hear about the fall. Hope today is a better day for you, be more careful will you! MRSAJ11

To all of you guys it is a blessing for me to be able to RAK you girls and guys, and I let the man up stairs guild me as to who I RAK, Thank you all for the kind words and you are welcome as well, I get very blessed doing this, for I suffer with Bi-polar and some days I'm really down, but doing this always make my day better. thanks to quilty louise for doing this for us. I needed this in my life right now, this is a great thing we do for one another.

Good morning all,
Happy dance...got my first rak this a.m.
Its from Donna aka up north
i got wild berry herbal tea, thats for tonight with a cranberry muffin.
And a bun h of sand with pretty white zebra mussle shells from ne Michigan, lake Huron in Rogers city mi.
she even made me a nice card to go along with it. Also...she sent me a postcard map showing the cost, a beautiful pic in itself and the map showing what beach it came from.
living here on the island, it never occured to me that mussles grow in a lake, ut then again, these are the Great Lakes.
Thank you so much for te thoughtful rak.
