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?
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!
...I love the flowers!
ReplyDeleteThanks, life would be so sad without flowers! Happy weekend, hugs, Valerie
DeleteI do hope you feel better soon Valerie and get good results from the hospital..I love your tag with Alice and the rabbit and found her quicker than looking for Waldo..your elephant is gorgeous too..rest well over the weekend and take care..

DeleteI'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

ReplyDeleteLovely post
Thanks Ashok!
DeleteGood 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
ReplyDeleteThanks 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
DeleteI'm sorry you are still feeling poorly and I do hope your test results are favorable. The pictures of spring about to burst with beautiful colors and flowers is always so promising for new hope for tomorrow. Take good care of yourself - sending comforting hugs.
ReplyDeleteThanks Carol. The beginnings of spring are always wonderful, we need hope! Hugs.
DeleteSo sorry to read about all the tests you had to take. I hope they find out what is wrong with you.
ReplyDeleteLoved the flowers on the table and the cute hare in Alice in Wonderland. And of course, that is an adorable elephant for Chris's theme at AJJ.
Thanks Elizabeth, take care, hope you are feeling better? Hugs
DeleteI see Alice! Love both pieces. Fun. I am so sorry your health isn't better. Here's hoping for a turnaround soon. Hugs, Sandra sandracox.blogspot.com
ReplyDeleteGlad you found her, thanks for the good wishes!
DeleteOh do hope you will be well ~ Magnificent photos and awesome art works as always ~ the elephant is fascinating ~ hugs,

Your positive attitude shines through despite the challenges, and your creativity with the art pieces is inspiring.

ReplyDeleteThanks so much, Nas!
DeleteA fab Tag, I have several stamps of that Hare, too many stamps to remember what I have got,lol.
ReplyDeleteI hope your results are good and you can get well and go home very soon, sending love and hugs xx
Thanks Sandra hugs!
DeleteI really love your elephant with his little mouse friend - another fabulous page for my AJJ theme. Take care, hugs Chrisx
ReplyDeleteLove your elephant - what a magnificent one he is - what a beautiful array of colours and patterns and things.
ReplyDeletePretty 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
