Time's a Flyin'

Today is my oldest grand-daughter's birthday...She is now 29 years old AND a mom! How in the world did that happen?? She is special to me because she and her mom lived with us for a while when she was first born...A beautiful red headed child - and, guess what! - she still is!!

This last week was fairly uneventful...no drama out my window. Nice weather for the most part, so the ladies gathered at the river most evenings. On Friday last week, Dian and I went to the Muckleshoot (sp??) casino. I did fairly well...only took $20 in and came out with $53! nice, huh?!Love it when that happens!

Spent most of the week working on Brooke's birthday gift....I made her a Christmas Stocking for Grayson....It is felt with a ton of sequins and beads and is a little drummer boy. My eyes are not good enough for sequins and beads, believe me! It was truly a struggle...but I made it! I think we are doing lunch today.

Marcia has had a difficult week or 10 days.....Her Husband collided with Isai ( a three year old they have bonded with) and fell on his (Isai's) head and on his (Doug's) tailbone....There were several skull fractures and lots of trauma....Isai ended up in Harborview Hospital in Seattle and now he is over at Children's for Physical Therapy. Prognosis is pretty good...but complete healing will take a long time. This child is a real pistol...he is never still...and he is not too happy with his situation! Poor Marcia has had to be there for Isai's mom to listen to the doctors so that she gets the right information, since mom's principle language is Spanish. And she also has to tend to her hubby and his sore tail bone and guilty feelings over the accident...so her hands have been full....I think both patients are doing well now. I still can feel my tail bone once in a while and that injury was when I was a teen!!!!

Well...I need to take a picture of the sock, since all the "river ladies" wanted to see it....
