THIS and THAT

Janice (Prims by the Water) shared a photo of a chair she recently purchased.  Hers seemed similar to one I purchased in the last 10 years except for a different cane style seat.  The similarities are the backrest and the rough carved legs.  I have no idea on the age of mine, Janice do you have an idea?  Also don't remember how much I paid but can assure you it wasn't much as I'm a cheapskate, lol.
I'm not sure if the original paint was blue or if the chair was backed against a blue wall ~ check the blue spots on the top of the vertical woodwork.
Am pleased to have a buyer for the 16" Townsend Orbiter frame and it will be picked up this coming Sunday.  Makes it a lot easier for me as it won't have to be packed and shipped.  Also saves the buyer money and best of all I'm reducing the number of rug frames by one.
I went to see a hand surgeon last Friday.  Nope, it wasn't for the huge osteoarthritis knuckles you see there, it was for the big joint in the ring finger.  I has been VERY painful and often comes slightly out of joint enough to cause a very sharp pain.  This happens sometimes during the  night and I will press slightly on the sides to put it back in place.  This doctor said it was osteoarthritis and nothing can be done as there are no finger bone replacements.
I was hoping to stop the occurrence of what happened to a finger on my left hand.  About 10 years ago I went to another hand surgeon about the pointer finger on my left hand.  This is as much as I can make a fist ~ notice only the tip of the finger will bend.  It isn't painful and I have feeling in the finger.  
That doctor said the bones were filled with cysts and was like one solid bone from the knuckle down to the tip.  Am sure there is a medical term for this condition but don't know what it is.

Of course my prominent hand is the right hand and the one which is giving me much pain tonight as I hook.  Then I realized that I contributed to tonight's pain by pulling weeds before cutting grass.  Even tho it was hurting while pulling the weeds I continued.  What a dumbass I was.

Anyway, when cutting grass this morning noticed the lake has disappeared.... finally.  But am sure with more rain, if heavy or often enough will fill the area again.

Am still working on the circles, the worm buster rug, a little slower and a little more painful but still happily hooking.
