When I finally got out my fabric scrap box yesterday and began to dig through it, I also remembered to get out my February table topper.
Then I decided I didn't have any placemats that matched the table topper, so I began to see if there were enough scraps to make some. There might be. I didn't get any farther with that project.
This morning Tom went to Safeway to do our weekly grocery shopping. I had been thinking it might be time for some grocery store flowers but didn't say anything. He came home with lovely bright pink carnations and Gerbera daisies! He said they would look great with my table topper.
And they do!
I arranged them in an old McCoy pitcher and replaced my winter green table topper (the back side of my Christmas one) with my Valentine topper. I was going to wait until the first of February to change but Tom gave me a good reason to rush the season.
Now, for those of you who were worried that I would do myself in with my new "four wheeler", I took it outside yesterday to try it out. It was much easier to use on the gravel driveway and the lawn as I surveyed the yard. I don't plan to do any down hill racing with it on our steep street. But my legs are strong and my grip is tight and I do believe I can safely control it on gentle inclines at the park.
Tennis balls are a common solution, but I think they would soon be a mess outside, and I plan to be outside whenever I can be.
Thanks for caring.
Your Tom is just the sweetest guy and he's got good taste. The flowers look gorgeous! I'm glad you're being careful, Linda and not hotrodding it all over the place.
ReplyDeleteI know you will look after yourself, since there are more people who look forward to your recovery than just those around you in person. You are cherished! Sending you lots of virtual hugs. :-)
ReplyDeleteTom's a good grocery shopper. I did the grocery run at 7 AM this morning.
ReplyDeleteThat Tom is purely a keeper. Glad you are able to handle your souped up walker. We do worry a tad.
ReplyDeleteYour bouquet is lovely. It was sweet of Tom to bring them.
ReplyDeleteI love the colors(perfect with the table topper) and am a fan of Gerbera daisies.
ReplyDeleteThat was so sweet of your husband! Your arrangement and topper look really great!
ReplyDeleteAhh, a man who brings you flowers -- better hang onto him!
ReplyDeleteDavid read your previous post and ordered 2 wheels from Amazon. They should be here shortly. Thanks for mentioning it on your blog. We'll throw out the tennis balls.
