Caffinna’sCreations

When I got home from spending several days at the hospital with DH, awaiting me was a special box from my KnittingSistersSwap Pal. Inside were some wonderful gifts. Two skeins of Knit Picks Sock Garden yarn in the “Pansies” color way; “The Secret Life of a Knitter” ,by The Yarn Harlot; “Not Just More Socks” by Sandi Rosner; and a beautiful notecard with a hand written note. Thanks Pal, it couldn’t have come at a more needed time!

Now for a message to my SP8 PAL. You wanted to know some of favorite musical artists. I am having trouble getting the list down to just a few! So what I decided to do was to list my “inventory” of musical artists for you. They are in no particular order. (The ones with ” * ” are listened to often.)

You see from the list, my tastes vary quite widely. I hope this is helpful, even though it isn’t quite an answer to your question.

I took these pictures last week from the front passenger seat of the ambulance on the way to transporting dh to the hopital in Tulsa. The first one is while over “Sailboat Bridge” going out of Grove.

This one is after leaving town and on the way to the turnpike.

This one was taken just after getting on to the turnpike.

This is a picture of St. Francis Hospital as we are heading towords it in Tulsa.

This was taken of the front lawn of the hospital as the ambulance was turning in to the hospital campus.

Why the pictures of the trip to the hospital you ask? I am not entirely sure why. I just know that it seemed important then, as it does now, for me to document the journey. And since this is the place for me to document, and where my friends can get updates, the pictures are here.
