Upon closer inspection, some of those fabrics looked very familiar! When we moved from our Raleigh house, I gave Katy several huge bags of fabric scraps. She works with an organization that helps disabled adults with careers and living arrangements. The recipient of my fabrics made this cute set. The pockets and potholders are my fabrics! Now look what I could have been doing!
She also sent me this beautiful card that matches the apron, and also looks like patchwork butterflies. Be prepared to see these again, perhaps on my Bible journal pages!
Charlie took me shopping for my birthday at the Apple store. He said he has not been able to shop for me because I am always with him down here! No complaints, I have this beautiful Apple watch with a ribbon watchband. It is fun trying to learn how to use it. I have this flowering watch face that changes to different colored blooms.
I bought him an i-Watch when we were down here in 2015 for his first radiation. So now I have an expert on hand to show me how to use it. He also bought me this nice product that we were introduced to at the Table restaurant. Their restrooms had this great-smelling hand scrub made from salt filtered from the gulf waters in this area. We found some of the product when we were looking for a gift for our sister-in-law who is coming down tomorrow.
Tonight we are going on a party boat cruise around Sarasota Bay at sunset. This was a gift from my children before they left last week. There will be a musician playing Jimmy Buffett music, live palm trees, and a bar mixing up some birthday margaritas, I hope!
I feel very grateful to be in this beautiful city for my birthday, even though I have to be away from home. Healing for Charlie, and wonderful experiences and memories for both of us.
