RAINY DAYS and MONDAYS

Back in the day when I had a day job it was bad enough when it was a Monday.  But when it was a rainy day and Monday that was the pits.  Now that I'm retired it is only a minor inconvenience.  Yet am sure the farmers are happy to have it right now and the flowers will too.
So this rainy morning I called my dentist and made an appointment for Thursday to take care of a cracked tooth that occurred Saturday night while crunching down on a  hard sourdough pretzel.  Which means there will be yet another crown in my mouth.  With all the crowns I have guess that makes me royalty 😄.

Also called my bank and requested they discontinue having taxes taken out of my IRA distribution.  Heck, I may as well have that money for months getting interest vs. the government using it.

And the most fun part was reconnecting with an old friend from Cape May ...Linda Woodbury, who is on the left side.  She moved to NC and I wasn't sure of her email but tried her old email which was still valid.  Linda says she has joined lots of active groups in NC and no longer hooks but does wool applique and is quite happy living there.  Linda ran a good camp at Cape May and is sorely missed.
Well that and hooking a little filled my day and the rain was a good excuse to not work in the yard.  But the Wisteria vine in my trash dumpster will be picked up Wednesday morning and that task will start all over again.

Happy hooking, knitting, stitching or, appliqueing.

    Ugh on the cracked tooth! At least you were able to get an appointment this week.
    I think the wisteria is a losing battle! I have been trying for years to get rid of mine with limited success 😩

    Bummer about the tooth....My turn for more dental work is still looming. Glad you got reconnected with your friend. But that's quite a transition - from running a rug hooking camp to not hooking at all? (Or did I misunderstand that?) Speaking of wool appliqué, eek...I have several projects kitted up that I've been meaning to get to. Hope the rain has passed. The sun is out here so hopefully some melting will take place but the plow left a 3' bank across my driveway so I'm not sure how I will get out. So much for the DMV.

    Sorry about the tooth so expensive. We had snow on Monday so I hooked a bit. Did some housework and watched some tv called it a day pretty early last night.

    Good luck with the cracked tooth. I have a few crowns myself. They are expensive too and not even gold. Wool applique was something I also liked to do but put it down. I did pick up my hook this past weekend a bit. Since I still work I do hate driving any morning in the rain because it is dark for me. Janice
