is the kind that comes after a wonderful visit with far-away family....back to the village today--very reluctantly--after complicated travel modes and a minor mishap. first up, some vacation pastime photos....
a christmas stitchery going along until ran out of floss....and a needlecase sampler close to finished...

the colors aren't great...the last on the left is a near prussian blue stripe...and the far right is cream with tiny red keys....and what else did i do? visited with my family, storing up hugs and kisses until August beach vacation. Also scarfed down a considerable variety of fresh seafood....every day but one....yes, lobster rolls, clams, shrimp, fresh haddock and flounder. made a batch of delish Rhode Island clam puffs for my mom.
the only downer--literally!--was tripping over a small metal threshold not realizing it was not flush with the handicap ramp. did a sort of belly flop onto a store floor whacking my left knee; yes, THAT leg! reposed on the floor a bit until sure nothing was broken and ambulation was possible. couple of smallish purple bruises and fortunately few people to witness...back on my feet with a few days of tylenol pretty near back to normal. got my ocean smell and vista fix that'll have to last until august. the travel is a complete horror coordinating various modes, but oh so worth the effort. all the other stuff is just fluff...back in Maryland and easing into usual routine, dreaming of lazy beach days and counting days once again.
How sad that you fell while on vacation! So glad it wasn't worse. Please don't tell me you had to take a bus for part of your trip which, in my experience, would constitute a horror. So glad to read that you're safely home.
ReplyDeleteOh my goodness, I'm so glad you're okay after your mishap. None of us bounce like we used to, thankfully it wasn't worse.

Welcome back! So relieved that it was just a tumble. Glad you had a good visit. How's your mom?
ReplyDeleteslow of course but still vertical, living independently, bored and missing driving...still isn't warm there but soon she can get out walking more which she loves...i so wish i was closer so i could take her places....she is mentally sharp and still ambulatory but too confined...
DeleteOh, wow! Not what you expect while visiting family. So sorry you had that happen to you, and I am glad nothing was broken!
ReplyDeleteMidnight At The Oasis is such a beauty, and very ambitious (at least to my eye).
Very pretty cross-stitch work. And pretty choices you made during "therapy". :)
yep it was a shock...LOL
