Catching Up!

I hope everyone is remaining healthy and safe during these uncertain times.  We have been fortunate here...with no new cases in twelve days.  And the cases we did have arrived from international travellers...and have all recovered.  There is talk of ease-back...the officials will share what that means and will look like for us here.  Travel to and from the Island will remain restricted...and will for some time to come.  I'm okay with that...for as long as it takes....

We've had some lovely spring days...Mr. Seventies has been in his glory...cleaning up the yard and overturning the vegetable garden.  It's early yet...but as the soil dries up...it will be ready for tilling.  We set up a couple of folding patio chairs and have been able to enjoy the fresh air and sun!

Since our groomer is closed...Liesel had a home "spa" day.  A bath will have to suffice until she has an appointment...but she's looking a bit scruffy in the meantime...gotta admit...she's pretty darn cute just the same!!

I'm just loving the LED candles I ordered.  They feel & look like wax candles, flicker like real candles, remote operated...and set on timers!  So awesome to have them come on just at dusk.  I set three in one of my lanterns.  (the set I ordered came with nine various height candles and two remotes).  

Love how they look in the master bedroom on the dresser.  (this photo was taken during the day)...

I still have three candles yet to place...but I have plans for them! 

I decided to order this cute guy for my kitchen counter...since I had a gift card...and a thing for cows...he will add a bit of whimsy...

And I had enough left on the gift card to order a new runner for the kitchen table...love buffalo check...

We've had the opportunity to meet our new grand baby! (since we are low risk, having followed all the criteria over the past two months).  I know every grandparent thinks their grandchildren are the most beautiful (and they are never wrong)...but Annabelle truly is a little angel and such a wonderful gift from God.  We are concerned to learn she has a heart murmur and her paediatrician has ordered an EKG and ultrasound & yesterday an x-ray of the heart was done.  Her appetite is not great & her weight is not where they would like it to be.  

They should receive notification today when her tests will be performed..as the paediatrician ordered them to be completed this week.  Once they have the results...they will have a clear idea of what treatment is necessary.  So prayers and thoughts for our dear little one would be greatly appreciated...

Difficult enough to be born during a pandemic...but to have a possible health issue is keeping us preoccupied.   We are remaining confident everything will be resolved...and oh the stories we will tell her of her arrival!!  She's for certain a Daddy's girl...

Stay safe everyone...and hug those you love a little tighter today!
