Don and I have been sick now going on 2 weeks. He has the flu and I had a really bad stomach virus. This has truely been the sick taking care of the sick. I don't get stomach viruses often but about once every 4-6 years, but when I do they seem to go overboard. I literally lost 10 pounds in a day and half. I still have not gained much of it back and am as weak as a limp dishrag. Don is feeling better but still sounds like he has the croup. I have been guzzling citrus flavored GATORADE (on my 3rd 2 liter bottle), Diet Mtn Dew (that actually seemed to settle my stomach some. I still can't eat much of anything. I made a huge pot of chicken veggie soup and am living on that, wheat saltines and some butter cookies. I went a whole week without a cup of coffee (I start the day out with atleast 4 cups) and am only just now drinking my 2nd cup in 10 days. Enough about us. As the old saying goes ~ This too shall pass~ I hope......
I have decided to just show real stitches in a work in progress from now on. If I ever find all the pages of stitches I started with I will also try to finish it ~ Maybe
Here is the chevron stitch ... the green is a practice stitch and the beads the real deal.
I will check back with you folks later. May God shed his Blessing on each of you.

Happy Valentine's Day, Mary!
I popped over to wish you a nice day, only to read how sick you've been. My Sweetie (Don, too!) and I will keep you and Don in our prayers. This is a nasty virus. Everyone says it goes away after a couple of weeks, but is easily relapsed. So, please be careful, both of you!
When I stayed with my wee ones, my youngest come in the last two nights I was with her and slept with Grandma. Poor thing is only 6 and just laid across me crying with a high fever and aches. "Oh Gwamma, my bones hurt soo bad, even my two feet hurt to walk on, and my ribbies hurt and I didn't even get tickled!" I hated to leave, but she was getting better and it was time for my body to be in it's own bed! I caught her cold, but praise the Lord - NO fever and no flu!
Feel better soon!
Blessings,
Donna
Feel better soon!
