I'mmmm Back! Medicated..But Back

Hi friends, I'm so sorry about last week. I never did get back to the party. I apologize, but, like I said, sometimes, life just takes over. Being a nurse and someone who's already living with pain, you write a lot of things off about your body, until you just can't anymore. :(

Pam from Everyday Living's Top Monday Morning Blooms just makes me smile!

So... Long story, short, as they say, lower abdominal pain turned out to be diverticulitis, with a bladder and kidney infection thrown in to be sure and get my full attention!! I'm going to have to pay a little more attention to my body. It's just part of the good and bad of having a high threshold for pain! Oh well, double antibiotics now and should be as good as new... I was before :D
With that, all said and done, welcome to this week's Thursday Favorite Things party! Let's see what you have been up to! (by the way, my features this week are from the last two parties, as seemed appropriate) 

Joy from Artful Homemaking shared her Grandmother’s Favorite Dishcloth Knitting Pattern, which I adore. I have many of these wonderful dishcloths around my house. It appears your Grandmother and my Aunt went to the same school! If you have not had the pleasure of using hand-knitted dishcloths, you really need to check out Joy's post!

Kristi from French Creek Farmhouse's  How To (Safely) Hang Heavy Stuff On A Wall was a great read and super informational, and just beautiful, isn't it?!

Dear Linda! I just loved reading Linda from It All Started With Paint's post

Better Late Than Never, Right? And, all I can say, after living 3 (going on 4) years of similar life circumstance, is "Yes!", Linda, definitely Better Late Than Never!  I loved your ability to add humor to your post and your situation, as well as your beautiful Christmas decorations, even if you weren't there to enjoy them. I feel your pain.

I just took down my Christmas wreath today, yes, today! That wasn't the point, though...I was trying to decide what to put in its place, given we are still quite away from Spring and I am so enjoying the off and on rainy days we are finally getting here, in Northern California, then low and behold I stumbled across our wonderful Paula from Virginia Sweet Pea's Pine Cone Door Decoration. It's just perfect! I would be quite proud to have this hanging on my door now. No offense Paula, but I might have to copy you on this one!

You all share such wonderful recipes and I read a lot of them, I feel kind of mean not featuring a ton more, but honestly, ladies, it is a matter of time. I truly wish I could share more! But for this week, the one that I am just going to have to make for myself is this Vidalia Onion Pie that Linda from Poinsettia Drive shared! Yum and yes, please! I still wish I had time and energy to share more of your wonderful posts, but I'm afraid that's it for me this week, friends!

Wonderful weekend wishes to you all.
