My goodness, it has been a month since I posted!

 Life has a way of taking over doesn't it?  In the past month we have had to take both riding mowers in for repair, one of them twice!  That involves hooking up the trailer which is quite the task these days for us oldies.  It is a heavy trailer to lift onto the tow ball. We have one journey to take one in and one journey to pick it up and we can only get one mower on at a time, so several trips to town and back this past month.  We finally got them both back the Friday before we had to leave for the hospital on the Monday for my husband to have surgery on Tuesday.  We stayed overnight in a hotel as we have to drive three and a half hours to get to the hospital and he had to be there for 7.30am.  He had to stay in overnight and I stayed in the room with him.  The pull out bed was not very comfy but I was grateful to be able to stay with him. We have also had several other hospital appointments for him in the past month.

He had the surgery on Tuesday past so he is now under orders not to ride the mower or lift anything larger than a gallon of milk for 4-6 weeks.  We did do a fair bit of mowing the weekend before he went in but now it is all down to me.

We also did some work in the sunroom and bought some 8' x 4' boards so that involved the trailer again.  My husband has stained some of them ready but he is now grounded.

Added to all that we have family arriving a week on Monday for a week so major cleaning and tidying going on.

There has not been any time for making things!

We have several upcoming appointments too as they are starting him on infusions again for his auto immune disease.

Summer is always a busy time around here.

Had a birthday card I made returned as undeliverable.  I confirmed that the address was correct then I sent a photo of the envelope with the Post Office stickers on it to the recipient and she took it to her local  Post Office.  They said that the comma after the house number must have confused the robot! Artificial Intelligence at it's best!

Well that's about it for the past month, having a bit of a chill day today then back to the grindstone tomorrow!
