Update and then some....

First, I want to thank you all for you comments and well wishes for my daughter. Here is an update. She has an appointment to see the neurologist on the 29th of this month...I will be taking her. We spoke today, the GP called her and told her the results of her blood work....looks like my daughter is also anemic and hypoglycemic......geesh!!! I had a long chat with her about diet and the importance of good nutrition....she told me this was a very good wake up call for her....I am so anxious to see her this weekend and bring her home with me for a few days....I will be doing a lot of teaching with her about dietary requirements and the importance of taking care of herself....I told her it's a good thing she is young and her body can bounce back.....we had a couple of good tears together....so I am really looking forward to giving her a huge hug.

This is a very busy weekend, not only am I looking forward to seeing my girls but I am also looking forward to meeting up with some Vancouver bloggers....Yup.....my blog friend and creator of Wet Coast Women blog has organized a get together....it's going to be so much fun...I am really looking forward to meeting some fellow bloggers......I will make sure to bring my camera.....

Lots has being going on in my life since my last posts......I have been busy at my rehab program which I attend 5 days a week.....I am very optimistic that I should be back to work by the beginning of May....Yippee!!! Next week we are going to do a job analysis and meet with my employer...and again I am optimistic that I will be able to start a gradual return to work. Wish me luck.

I don't know if I have mentioned, but my mother in law is wanting to buy a boat, and not just your run of the mill boat....but a 32' power boat.....she has been looking on the Internet and with my hubbies input she is getting a pretty good idea of what it is she would like.....last weekend we went out looking at boats....it was a lovely weekend...sun was shining...it was warm and finally Spring like......our travels took us to Port Alberni....it's a great community it used to be a lumber and fishing community but lumber being what it is today have effect the community significantly....anyhow, it is a very picturesque community with water on the one side and mountains on the other....you have heard me mention about Mt. Arrowsmith in previous posts...I have actually shared pictures of the mountain with you....living in Port Alberni you get to see Mt. Arrowsmith from a different vantage point.....here is what I saw.....

I apologize for the lack of clarity in this photo I took this while hubby was driving.......

I have also tried to relax and be creative.....I am not terribly talented when it comes to the craft department but I like to give it the good old college try. About a month ago I was at the thrift store and came accross a couple of grape vine wreaths. They were in need of repair but for 99 cents a piece how could I not buy them. I have wanted to make a wreath for the front door and thought if I got these wreaths and went and bought some silk flowers and makings I could make my own wreath. Well finally last week at got the project.....here's is a pictoral of how it went...

So here you have the grape vine wreath in much need of repair and the supplies I thought of using to make the wreath......and here is the finished product...

So there you have it....my attempt at the wreath....please ignore my reflection in the door....but hey, what can I say.....hope you all are keeping well......cheers!
