Weekly Update
Good morning all,
My week was slow up until Saturday. Then my chapter, Alpha Theta Masters of Beta Sigma Phi, had our beginning day luncheon to start our new year off. It was held at the Junior League of Houston and was great. I have a final(hopefully) doctor's appointment on Monday Morning and hopefully will start driving and wearing my sandals again. I did get a few stitchers in several of my WIPS and did get my Map of Texas completed. Now to back it with the Texas fabric and add the rope for a wall hanging. My Grandson, Christopher, will be 18 on Sept. 3 and he had picked the Map of Texas out and asked if I could stitch it for him. I plan on finishing it this afternoon, so next week will have a picture of it completed. Here are my pictures of the Map of Texas and the WIP progress for the week.

Weekly Update
Good morning all,
We are getting a little rain that we do need. Now that the olymics are over, I am back to watching my baseball and preseason football and stitching. My team The Astros is all new young men and they are having a hard time this year, but I am still a very much fan and pulling for them. The Texans, our Houston football team had their second preseason game last night. They are starting off good. As you can tell, I am a sports fan and enjoy all sports. I am able to get some stitching done in the evenings after work while enjoying the games. Here are pictures of my weekly stitching on WIPs. Enjoy and as always, love your comments. The pictures are a little dark, as I took the pictures before the sun was up this morning and it was a little cloudy.

Weekly Update
Good morning,
Update on my foot; went to the doctors last Monday and got a good report. The toe is healing, but just not there yet. It seems we older people take longer to heal. I now have a boot to wear for three weeks, but no driving yet. Thank goodness, I have a driver when needed. Have gotton some stitching done as I watched the olymic games each and every night. Go USA, good job. I am now watching the USA men's basketball finals. Here are pictures of my WIP progress for the week. As always, I enjoy your comments, you are all so nice with your comments.

First, I go to the doctor's on Monday Morning. Off with the cast and walking(I hope). What a past two months. Who would have thought a toe could give you so much trouble, but it is not going to stop me. With this surgery, it is going to help me later in life, so I will be around to stitch more of what is in my stash.
Even with a cast on my leg and using a walker, I was able to go and watch my grandkids in their latest Foster FFA progress showing their pigs. What a great day, Saturday. Christopher(17 and Anna(12) showed their pigs(Peaches and Shiner) in the same weight class. What fun watching brother and sister compete with each other along with several other pigs. End results, Anna won 1st with Peaches and Christopher won 2nd with Shiner. Then in Junior Showmanship, Anna won Grand Champion and in Senior Showmanship, Christopher won Grand Campion. All in all, what a great day. Now they will get ready for our Fort Bend County Fair the end of September. Here are a few pictures from the day.

I received the neatest package this week. I took part in a PIF this year and received my PIFpackage
from Magge Smith at http://stitchingdevotee.blogspot.com She stitched me a little pillow that is just so neat and pretty. Here is a picture of all I received.
I also take part in a quarterly ornament exchange with Christmas Ornament Crafters. I received two really neat ornaments made from bottle caps.
Here are pictures of my WIP progress while watching the olymics this past week.

Hello to all my stitching friends. Hope all have had a good week of stitching.
I went back to the doctor last monday. He took my cast off, but put a new one on for another 3 weeks.
He said my toes were healing good, but not fully yet. Older people seem to take longer to heal and he wants me back at my active life fully. So another two weeks left with a cast on. I am hanging in there.
My grandson is still taking me back and forth to work and he and my granddaughter have been grocery shopping for me. The only complaint was that I can't write where they can read it, so will I please type the list next time. What great grandchildren.
They both have a pig in FFA this year and they had their first progress show this past Friday night.
Anna(12) got 2nd in the Junior Showmanship. There will be 3 more progress shows before our County Fair the end of Sept. They both work very hard with their pigs and enjoy it. Christopher will be Vice President of his FFA chapter this next year.

First I would like to say thanks for all of you that asked about my foot. The surgery was June 7 and I stayed off of myfoot for 11 days and have now wore a cast for 3 weeks, tomorrow. I have a doctor's appointment in the morning and hopefully, the doctor will be happy with the healing. In other words no more cast. My daughter seems to think that he will put me in a boot for a couple of weeks, but that will be better that a cast. My Grandson has been so good, taking me to work and picking me up each afternoon. He and my granddaughter have been grocery shopping for me and have done a great job. I wonder how many 17 year boy would do what he has done for me this past month and not complaint.
He says, I am his grandmother, so he should be helping.
I have been tired in the evening, so haven't gotton as much stitching done as I would have liked. I have made a little progress on my WIPs and here are the pictures:
