Officially Summer!

Yesterday it became officially summer!
Correction, wrong calendar. Today
is the first day of summer.

I am so glad.  The problem is that it

goes by in the blink of an eye

and the cold and snow is back.

It seems like the winter lasts

far longer than it used to.

I know we had quite warm

weather at the start of last winter

but it didn't last long enough

for me.  It never does.

So in honour of summer, here

are two flip flop cards.

Ordinarily I don't make shaped cards,

but these were too cute to pass

up.  They will be way small for

a regular envelope, but so what?

Maybe I'll even decorate the

envelope for summer.  They are cards

that don't open.  The pattern called

for a stand on the back if you

wanted to make that but I thought

it looked rather dorky.  You can

write a little note on the back

for the recipient.

Church was awesome yesterday.

It's amazing with a little practice

will do for my courage.  Pam and

Coleen both tried to get me to face the 

congregation but I am far from 

ready for that!  I was just happy

to be able to sign fairly well from

my seat.  I made a bunch of mistakes

but no one could see me really, and

even if they do, they don't know 

the signs!

I'm worried about Sadie.  She doesn't

seem to be responding to the meds

and I worry that she might be

in pain.  She does perch though,

and doesn't seem to be having

breathing problems.

The Doctor thinks it might

be a crop infection, but without

blood tests she can't be sure.

They are expensive, so we are

adopting a "hope it works"

approach with antibiotics.  She's

not crazy about being toweled and

taking the med, but she does

pretty well considering. So a prayer

or two for her would be appreciated.
