We've had 80 degree weather, 32 degree weather, a quilt show, a walk, and health issues.
First the Quilt Show. A week ago, my husband and I went to the Oakland County Quilt Guild Quilt Show. This show is special to me. I used to be a member of the guild and I got my first 1st place ribbon at this NQA show. Here are some of the quilts I saw.
It was a really nice show. And they had tons of vendors...I did shop a little. It was nice to run into some old friends too.
We went for a walk to Lake St. Clair Metro Park (formerly Metro Beach Metro Park) and it was beautiful out. I made sure I took my camera hoping to see some wild life. And I did. The temperature was around 80.
These 2 Terns were flirting quite a bit. We had to turn away at one point....lol
We saw so many swans. There was a flock of 10 swans that flew over us. Not sure where they were headed.
My first site of baby geese for the season. They were quite small and as you can see the parents were very protective.
We went walking yesterday and it was only 32 degrees out. I swear I saw snow flakes. It must have been dog walking day. There had to be about 80 dogs there.
Now for the health issues. I've had Type 2 diabetes for years. Tuesday I went to the Doctor's for my regular check up and my blood tests showed that my diabetes is out of control. I am now on a new additional medication (which is playing havoc with my system) and I will need to start on insulin. But thank goodness it will be a pen. She said I could possibly get of insulin and some of my medication if I loose some weight. That's not an easy task with diabetes and thyroid problems.
So she suggested that I join weight watchers online. I did. From counting points I realized that I was eating too much and all the wrong foods. I weigh myself Wednesday morning to see how much weight I have lost during this first week. I will keep you informed on how I am doing.
Woo hoo....I finally finished my Scrap Squad Quilt. I have to do my write up on the process for Quiltmaker's Blog and take a picture of my quilt. I'll let you know when it will be posted on their blog. Already got the pattern for the next quilt. Trying to think up some ideas for it.
Well this has been a lengthy post and lots of photos. I hope you enjoyed then and thanks for stopping by.
Hugs, Cathy
