I got a new set of stitching cards yesterday.

It's a set of three.  This is the first:

You're supposed to use a floss called

confetti, but I can't find that anywhere.

I looked online a long time ago.  Maybe

I should take a look again.  Meanwhile,

the variegated thread looks fine, I think.

My dad and I are going to another nursing

home this morning.  The one is called

"Drew's place" and they have multiple

sites throughout Michigan.  It's not a

nursing home in the traditional sense.

He has been there and wants me to visit

as well.  He loves it.  The problem is

getting her on medicaid.  That's been

a slight issue and it's really getting me

down.  Instead of revering our elderly

we shove them aside.  The money

is funneled elsewhere and that's all the

rant I'm going to do.  It's not fair and

I guess no one promised it would be.

So right now all we are doing is clinging

to God and hoping He's going to work

things out.  It's been hard to even pray

these days.

Speaking of God, I am a member of

the church now.  This is a picture my

friend Coleen took for them:

Ordinarily I don't like pictures of

myself but this one is OK.

Sunday I went to my first ever baseball

game!  We had so much fun and I

really needed to get out and away from

all the stress.  They lost by one point!

We were right behind the batter's box

under a nice overhang and got our orders

taken and food  brought to us.  It's good

to know people who have connections, LOL.

Thanks, Coleen!!!  It was a fantastic day.

Happy Thursday!
