Happy Weekend

 HI Everybody!

Sorry I have not been around for a couple of days, just been having a difficult time healthwise, and had to go to the other department of the hospital for lots of MRTs, x-rays and  a Sonographie , and I am not a friend of these machines, they scare me! . But they are necessary, and I am thankful that my insurance pays for all of these things. I hope to get the results on Monday.

I hope that you are all keeping well and fit, and that spring is on its way to you. I love seeing everything wake up to new life again.

This was on my way to the hospital early this morning:


The magnolias will soon open!


These were taken in the covered seating area outside in the garden, much loved especially by the smokers!







And last but not least I have a hybrid piece for Chris' 'On all fours' challenge at AJJ:


And for Pinky's hares or rabbits challenge at Tag Tuesday I have a new tag- The white rabbit is looking for Alice, can you find her?


And as it's Friday as I write this, I am linking to Nicole's FFO and Gillena's AFFF.
I will get round to visiting over the weekend, I just need time:

Have a great weekend, take care,
And thanks a lot for coming by!

  8. I do hope you get sorted soon, you must be fed up with these health problems. Spring looks as though it's on it's way here too, it was very sunny for most of the day and hubby managed to cut the grass which is a good sign. Loving your art work too. Take care and get plenty of rest. Hugs Angela xXx

  13. I'm sorry to read you've been having a tough week Valerie I hope you get lots of down and relaxing time this weekend. You're having some wonderful spring time too. We are too, but we are behind as we just lost the last of our snow yesterday. I like your Alice in Wonderland tag for Pinky's challenge, and your elephant is also very nice for Chris' challenge. Thank goodness for art or any kind to keep us sane. I hope your art is doing that for you. Happy weekend. hugs-Erika

  17. Good morning, Valerie. Sorry to hear that you have been having challenges, but, of course, that’s why you checked yourself back into the clinic, isn’t it? I chuckled to myself at the thought that smokers have a preferred area to impact their breathing and increase their susceptibility to cancer and respiratory problems. It does seem odd that people go to a clinic to improve their health yet continue to engage in one of the most damaging practices of all. I hope that you will be able to enjoy the weekend, perhaps get together with Heike, and that soon your health will improve to the point where you can return home. Hugs and kisses - David

    1. Thanks David, the clinics all ban smoking inside, bur provide a place outside....And a nice place! I have just come back from a meal out with Heike, it was delicious. Now I am having a happy hour at my computer before I go back! I am having problems wit my h button, I have to hit it very hard or all of my hhhhhs would be dropped! Hugs, Valerie xxxxxxx

  28. Love your elephant - what a magnificent one he is - what a beautiful array of colours and patterns and things.
    Pretty tag too.
    Sorry to hear you are ill and in the clinic. Worrying that you have had to have all those machines examining you - I too. am petrified of some of them and I thought I was safe from having an MRI because of my pacemaker. Seems not, they just put it to sleep whilst they do the MRI. Hope the resuklts come throuigh soon and they are good.
    hugs, Neet xx
