The Stillroom

This is a picture of my mantle. I love baby’s breath as a simple flower for summer. I must always have flowers. For a few dollars from Trader Joe’s, I will get a couple of weeks worth of joy just looking at them. 😊 The reading monk is from when I had my shop and this guy brings me peace when I look at him. He was made by a local company in Derry that did very cool reproductions of art pieces. This is one I kept for myself. The little painted wood piece was Anthony’s art work from the summer of 2000 when he was ten. A sailboat on the ocean with lots of sunflowers. If you look real close, the wood is in the shape of a Cheshire Cat. My dad cut a whole bunch of that shape and I painted the cat face.

Chemo was delayed yet again today. That really made me feel sad. Some days it can be rather difficult to be upbeat, no matter how hard the sun shines. So, Mike went to the store to buy some lemons because when life gives you lemons, make lemonade. That is exactly what I’m going to do. I’m going to have a lemonade and cookie party as soon as the Pirates finish winning this game.
