Has it really been so long?

I’ve been so bad about blogging this year. It’s mid-March and so much is going on! First, an update on the wrist. I’m weaning off of the wrist splint and doing some strengthening exercises. As I type this, I have no splint on. It makes typing MUCH easier! I am able to write better, draw [...]

A great lesson

A friend sent me this link and I just had to share it… What an example for peace and friendship! Watch CBS Videos Online

Aunt Millie from Philly

It’s taken me a while to write this entry. This morning I received a call from my Aunt Ann that my Aunt Millie (“Millie from Philly”) passed away last night. Aunt Millie was over 85 years young and had lived a very full life. She traveled all over the world and soaked in life. In [...]

What I’ve been up to

There is really not much to report here. No art to share… The good news is that I’m feeling well. I’m exercising regularly, making sure I’m ready for all the walking we’ll do in France. And, happily, I’m also finally shedding some of the pounds and inches that have been bugging me for a while. [...]

Anniversary, Birthday & Art

Yesterday Dave and I celebrated our 16th Anniversary. I can remember the first time I talked with him and the first time I saw him. We were set up on a blind date by a classmate of his with whom I worked part-time (to pay for the car that I had to have for my [...]

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. Eliana attends [...]

This week, I joined my husband, Dave, on a trip to Chicago, IL. While Dave was at the annual American Academy of Neurology meeting, I met Joanne in Chicago for a few days of fun. We had a fantastic time time! First, we met for a great dinner at Lockwood, the restaurant in Joanne’s hotel, [...]

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 [...]

Vintage Linen Quilts

I am so excited to finally share with you a project I have been working on for a while. You see, when my MIL and FIL moved to Phoenix, we helped them to unpack and get settled. While unpacking, many family heirlooms were shared. My MIL’s mother, Sarah, was a sewer and an embroiderer. Among [...]

weekend recap and the start of a new week

It’s been a busy few days. This weekend I was still fending off the fatigue from Wednesday’s treatment. I was itching to get outside, so on Sunday, I think I overdid it. We drove my sister-in-law to the airport for her return to Maryland and then we came home for a short time. Soon after, [...]
