CountryMouse's Refuge

I slept until 10am or so this morning. Then a looong breakfast because I was playing "Disney Fairies: TinkerBell" at the same time. ::grin::

Today is Mama's 90th (!!! wow!) birthday, so my sis set up a conference call with her and Mama and me so that Sis and I could sing "Happy Birthday" to Mama. :-) Then Mama was rushed off to a meeting: she is the treasurer of a group there in the nursing home!

After that I crocheted and knitted some while I waited for my Cancer Family Care counselor to arrive. Still workin' on the Choco-Cherry-Berry Scarf! I've almost finished crocheting a Faded Denim Back Porch Washcloth (modified by me--I'm crocheting into the back loop, not the front loop).

And since then I've been online some. Watchin' the chatter about a possible snowfall event this weekend in the Ohio Valley region. I prefer the WKRC Stormboard, but it's fun to see the people goin' nuts on the (in)AccuWeather.com forums too.

I had a really nice phone conversation with Mama this evening. She sounded like her old self, so much more lucid. Really, I haven't heard her sound this good and this content since her accident and brain injury and surgery in 2006.

Me = happy. :-)
