We both love seafood but I'm much pickier then hubby. I eat clams in clam chowder but no other way, no oysters, squid is fine if it's calamari. But dh's cocutnut fried shrimp is to die for.
When we were in Portugal we ate a lot of seafood, the majority was fantastic but their were a couple of stand out incredibly bad meals. Hubby had fish and chips one night. Looked like what we eat here, he took a bite and started choking and coughing. They had battered and deep fried the fish whole. Yes all the bones were still in it. At the same place I had fish chowder. It was lumps of fish in like a congealed sauce. NASTY. Luckily it was one of our last nights there or we might have been afraid to try any of the other meals.

For Molly. I was hoping it would look like space dust, space matter or a forming star. DH said, none of the above but it looks ok. 😖
Am I the only one left making blocks? I'm so far behind it isn't funny. It'll catch up someday! I hope.

Hi Ladies, sorry I haven't been around in a while but a lot of things have been going on here. I finally was able to swap my new computer with my daughter's lap top so I can have this closer to my bed and can try to get in here a little more often.
I've been looking at the website that Janice has all the blocks on and you ladies have out done yourselves. What a great bunch of blocks!!!!! Thank you so much for all the ones you have made for me, can hardly wait to get them in my hands so I can play with them.
I'm still working on being able to sit up and walk again but I'm hoping to be doing that soon. These past 3 days look promising that I will be able to do that but I'm taking it slow this time because laying in bed sucks. sorry no other word fits.
I also read in some of the news letters that I get from here that some of you are having difficult times of your own and some have had losses. I will keep you all in my prayers with the hopes of better understanding of what God has in store for us all. I think the only thing that keeps me going, is knowing that our loses, are His gains. So I try my hardest to imagine my lost loved ones standing by His side and that helps me to keep going and not lose hope.
Time to go but I will try to come in as much as I can. Keep up the great work on the blocks!

Seasaw2nch, I'm saying a prayer for you right now. May you feel stronger every day and be back on your feet before long. Just remember, slow and easy does it.
I agree with you, aren't all the blocks fantastic! I can get lost just looking through the gallery.
GramE, I love both of your last blocks.
