Some Drawings

While my niece was here, I did get some time to do a bit of drawing. As always, drawing always keeps me grounded. That’s why it was even more important for me to do it while I was hosting the family.

Passover and Auntie Fran’s Art Studio

Well, it’s been over a week since I last updated everyone on things here. I spent a week hosting my lovely niece, Eliana, and her parents (along with Flat Stanley!) here at Casa Saperstein. The spoons were spent early on but it was a lovely time filled with family, laughs, and new traditions.

Chicago, Chicago….

Friday I got up very early. DH decided not to exercise, but was still up at 5:00-ish. So he jumped in the shower and turned on all the lights, ran the hair dryer, etc…

I finished up two small journals for Beads-n-More/SunSpirit Studio in Bisbee. Another of my journals sold there this weekend and they’re having [...]

Weekend roundup

Friday was my treatment. I went to the infusion center to get my medication this time. If you’re a blog reader, you know I usually do my treatments at home; however, as I mentioned yesterday, I needed to have a bit more control over the date of the infusion to prepare for my trip to [...]

Quick Post

It’s Thursday and tomorrow I have my treatment. Since we have plans to travel to Chicago for Dave’s annual neurology convention, we’re doing it five days early. It’s been 20 years since I’ve been to Chicago (I’ve been to Rosemont for meetings, but that’s just not the same!). I was in college the last time [...]
