Happy Midweek,
So excited for Larry, he went out fishing early this morning with our new friend. I thought I had the video turned on my camera and sigh I missed getting his launching of the boat, and the sunrise-sigh. I will try the sunrise video again as that was awesome to watch the sun come up only took a couple of minutes.
The annual eye visit after cataract surgery (around 5 years ago now) went well. My eyes are staying stable with glaucoma and the macular degeneration. I did have a film build up on one of the cataracts which he cleaned but now that eye is sensitive so will have to watch that. Larry has really poor vision but his conditions are stable as well. So that was good news.
We got a surprise gift in the mail this week from our Wisconsin friends-Rob and Marie. This piece was hand loomed in Czech Republic It feels like linen but is 100% cotton, and is a dish towel-no I don't think I want to use for a dish towel. I have a glass quilt cabinet that I keep something on top to keep out the sunlight in the summer. I have all the quilts wrapped in tissue paper as well My friends have their work hours set up to give them long weekends-up to 5 days. They take little trips, usually visiting wineries. They were in a different area in Missouri and visited the Lewis and Clark Boat Museum. It is in the exact spot where Lewis and Clark started their trip. I can enjoy this piece now as it sits on top of the quilt cabinet that I often walk by. Above the quilt cabinet is a framed photo of a bison in Yellowstone Park.
A few lake views from this morning
Have an awesome day
Happy midweek you Kathy. Glad the eyes are stable. Eyeglasses and other eye related items can get so expensive. And hurrah that Larry got out fishing, whether you have a video or not. And nice gift and beautiful lake views too. I am sitting home today waiting for some rain to come. Well I am baking, hoping for rain. Have a great rest of your week Kathy. Hugs-Erika
ReplyDeletethank you. Yes I am very happy I didn't need a new script for my glasses-he explained what was happening and also cleaning the cataract lens has made a big difference in clarity too.
DeleteHoping you get some rain, we have gotten rain mostly when we needed it these last couple of months, but we could use some now again. we are gradually getting hotter again every day too this week Happy baking-hugs
Glad to know that your eyes are stable. I have an appointment with an eye doctor in two weeks too. My vision is getting terribly bad...Beautiful lake view!
ReplyDeleteGood afternoon Angie, I was happy too that my eyes were stable since last year-as they seem worse lately-but cleaning the cataract lens made a big difference thanks gorgeous views this week
DeleteLovely gifts
ReplyDeletethank you
DeleteThe lake pictures are absolutely some of your best. Wow! I am looking forward to a video of the boat being launched. Yay for the new boat lift!
ReplyDeletethank you Mary-the lake was so pretty this morning. yes the new boat lift is working out good-now to get the rest of the dock finished
DeleteHappy midweek to you too... What a fabulous PC from deb...lol So nice of your friends to surprise you with a gift in the mail.. Don't you just love surprises? ! Great photos of the birds and reflections.. Oh i think we could all moan with you about missed photo opportunities over the years.. I know i could.. I've been trying to draw some koi the last couple days.. darn they are not as easy as they look.. the darn eyes give me trouble.. AND i started working on a SMALL painting i started forever ago with a bench as the main subject next to a tree and a rock wall with flowers.. its proving challenging.. since i really don't know what i'm doing. But as the paint dries i can keep trying.. thats one thing i like about acrylic.. you can paint over it.. lol I hope Larry had good luck fishing.. Wish me luck , tomorrow i go play some morning golf with hubby .. his brother and our rancher friend.. and i will try to get over myself and not be completely embarrassed.. I wish it could just be hubby and i but i don't want to be a party pooper either.. oh well.. I' sure i will not die of embarrassment.. Hugs! deb
ReplyDeleteGood morning Deb, Yes so fun to get surprises in the mail-hugs I am liking the theme of your next painting, anxious to see it. I should get my acrylics out again, I think they are more forgiving the watercolors. My biggest challenge with watercolors is not letting things dry first before going back in to work on it.
DeleteSounds like a fun day of golfing hopefully the guys won't tease you too much-but it gets you out of the house. and have fun. Hugs
Glad you had a good eye appointment. I absolutely LOVE the views from the lake and the heron. Those reflections are beautiful.
ReplyDeleteHave a great mid-week. It's so nice to get gifts and a postcard from Deb, too.
Good morning Elizabeth, thanks much I was happy about that too. the eye lens that he cleaned is still feeling irritated though I may need to call him but will give it another day.
DeleteThanks I love the reflections in the water too. I love fun mail in my mailbox-both of these were surprises.
Ohhhh, sad your movie-mode was off! But yay for a boat ride - and good eyes. Seesh. I would need to go, too, I guess. And to the dentist...
ReplyDeleteGreat gift - I would not use that, either! Too precious.
Guess what - in an hour I´m off to buy... a melon!
And... must remind Ingo he bought himself all to make soap!
And thank you so much for the lake-pics, dear Kathy.
And can you guess what I saw yesterday for real?! (I put on a pic) - to a beautiful day!
Good morning Iris, yes I couldn't believe that I didn't push down hard enough to turn the movie mode on will try it again especially for the sunrise. I have a dentist appt too next month.
DeleteOh yum we really enjoyed the melons we had picked up a couple weeks ago. would like to get another one but it's a long drive to that store.
awesome-making soap I really enjoy making soap-have fun!
Oh I hope you saw a butterfly hugs
So glad your eye appointment went well. how wonderful to fish in the early morning. I hope it was a successful trip out. Love your new wall hanging what a lovely gift.
ReplyDeleteCathy
thanks Cathy, the guys had a fun time out on the lake-usually very peaceful in the early mornings. they did catch fish but let them go. I do love my gift too
DeleteLovley sky!
ReplyDeletethank you
DeletePretty lake photos. I loved the post card you sent me-thank you!
ReplyDeletethank you, so glad the post card arrived in a timely manner-hugs
DeleteSo glad your eyes are staying stable! Those photos of the sunrises and heron are especially beautiful. And what a fun gift! It looks like a terrific week.
ReplyDeleteHi i we have had some lovely early morning views this week, the herons must be enjoying the cooler weather too as we see them every morning now. I love my gift too thanks.
DeleteWow...some incredibly beautiful views...and photos! I especially love the third lake photo. We have a small home on a small lake a bit north of Nod, but I have not made it up there since the first of the year...so an entire summer missed. 😢 ~Robin~ (TheCrankyCrow)
ReplyDeleteOh that's sad you didn't make it up to your lake home. we moved out of the woods and on to Lake in the Ozarks in Missouri a year before covid hit. we love the views for sure and all the wildlife that visit.
DeleteAwesome photos. I'm glad your eye exam went well.
ReplyDeleteSo glad you enjoyed the photos me too thanks
DeleteKathy I don't know how I missed this post. What a lovely gift and a very nice card too. I am also getting ready to make soap. Not right away I still have a garden to tend too and canning. The late is just beautiful. Glad the boat went out with the fishermen. Have a great evening.
