Ciao! July passed me by like a blink of an eye. Well most of it. :) Despite my losing track of time I did finish up the pages I wanted to do of Grace. It took me weeks to do 4 very simple pages but I did them and I am grateful for that.
Gracie, is great at entertaining herself while going for a long ride to Papa amd Mimi's home.
I used the Everyday Adventure Project Life/Stampin' UP! Edition cards.
Not long after we got to our home Grace was excited to get outdoors and play with Papa. She was very curious about our garden.
I used the Everyday Adventure Project Life/Stampin' UP! cards on this page as well. I also used a Taylored Expressions Circle Word die. I had this in my box of dies that are cut up and thought it would look great. I do like it. :)
This was the last page I made of Gracie throwing rocks into the brook. It was her last day with us that weekend. Gosh how she loves throwing rocks in the water.I used thePlayground Edition from Project Life/Stampin' UP!
I thought it would be nice to take photos of all of us together before bringing Grace home. I love that Grace will have these photos to look at when she is older. Maybe even older then me. :) I used the Playground Edition from Project Life/Stampin' UP! We all had a blast that weekend and hope to have her this month for at least a day or two.
Personal
July is a little blurry for me. I did have 21 days of IV antibiotic and had it done at the hospital everyday. I was beyond exhausted most days, lots of joint pain, very bad headaches and spent a good deal of time in bed, too much time. And then in the very first week of this month(August) I was put into the hospital for a few days of observation. My fevers of 103 & 104 had returned. Once my IV was stopped my fevers went away as did the headaches. I am back home now and so happy to be here. I will be getting another Lymes test soon and the other follow up tests. If my bloodwork all comes back negative then good-bye to Lymes disease. If not.......I'll deal. But I have a good feeling that all will be well.
Thanks Ladies for your prayers, thoughts and good wishes. I really did a lot of smiling due to your kind words.
Stay cool, stay safe & Smile BIG! :)
