Happy Friday

Happy Friday to you! It is cold and rainy here in Colorado and feels more like winter than fall. A good day to stay in and do simple things-like watching a movie with grandsons and quilting. As promised here are photos from Kauai.

I met with a friend this morning; we were supposed to walk, but I'm still a bit stuffy due to my cold. We sat and had tea and visited.  She is such a blessing to me.  On of the not-so-fun things I had to do this morning was call my doctor's office.  You see, I was taken off of blood pressure meds last April and have been so happy to not be suffering the side effects.  Then hubby bought a blood pressure cuff and so I have been monitoring mine daily.  Shouldn't have been doing it when I have a cold and taking otc medicine.  Let me just say, mine has been high-mainly it is my diastolic number has been high.  So I called in and got an appt. for Monday; however I must say dealing with the receptionist is so frustrating that I know my bp went up.  Hopefully, by this weekend, my bp will be back to normal and I won't need to get on medication.  I'd rather be safe than sorry though.
This afternoon I have two grandsons coming over to hang out with me, while their mom gets together with a friend. 
I hope that your day is filled with all that brings you joy!
Blessings and hugs,
Noreen

Sunrise in Paradise

It's Thankful Thursday and I am thankful that we are healthy and alive, for such a time as this. So much craziness going on in our world, I am thankful that I have the security of knowing the One who holds our world in His hands. I am thankful for many blessings; our trip was such fun, aside from getting overheated and I'm thankful for beautiful photos that can transport me back in time. All these sunrise photos were taken by hubby; he has a better eye for pictures and it shows here.

This is the our timeshare in Kauai.  It is simple, but we love it.  With the forecast for winter being a very cold one this year, I imagine hubby is already thinking of returning.
Yesterday I had fun with the girls; we began with the basics and it will be fun to see how they improve as time goes on.  I want them to enjoy sewing and grow comfortable with it; the four already have a good head start as they've all been sewing at home for some time.  Now, they get to work on the fundamentals-like sewing straight lines; talk about the blind leading the blind-ha!
Today, I'm walking and after will run an errand before the two other grands come over to sew. I like having sewing on two days because it gives me time to add in other things and tweak what I'm doing with them. 
I hope your week has been good and that your day will be blessed.
Hugs,
Noreen

Outdoor Wednesday

Good morning friends, I hope your day has started out well! As promised, here are more photos from Paradise.

The Blowhole near PoiPu

The waterfalls that have been featured in several movies.  We had hoped to do the kayak adventure, but after getting over heated, decided to pass on it.  Maybe for our next trip.

Today it is slated to get to the mid-90's and then tomorrow drop to 70.  I will be running errands this morning and then this afternoon, I will have two granddaughters here for sewing.  Tomorrow, I have two more; truly I am blessed.
Joy to you!
