Not paying much attention to nutrition and what foods are good for you, got us into the situation we are in. For me, heart problems and diabetes and overweight and for Dutch all of that plus cirrhosis brought on by all of that.
So watching sugar and salt in our diet has really become important now. Like covering the well after the baby fell in, but important nonetheless. So this morning we sat and looked up different things online and just pulled some of our favorite staples out of the cupboard and refrigerator and looked at the labels so we could learn. Very interesting!! Of course the first thing you learn is that you shouldn't eat most of the stuff you like and that you really need to train your taste buds to appreciate new things. So here we go on that adventure. Wish us well!
Had an appointment with our main Gastro Doc yesterday and we made it home without Dutch landing in the hospital. YEAH!!! He also said that there was no rush for me to get treated for my Hep C.
DOUBLE YEAH!! Praise the Lord!! I know I have to be treated eventually, but buying some time for that was a relief!
We are hoping that we are getting closer to finding a buyer for our store. We went there on Sunday to have a look around. When I'm home and away from the store, it's easier to say we are selling the store and passing it on to someone new. When I'm there and see everything, the memories come flooding back and it's harder to let go. I even found myself looking at nails and screws my brother Tom put into a partition he built for us. The memories are overwhelming, but wonderful. We have so much to be thankful for.
In the break room hangs a picture depicting hands and of course they are meant to re
mind us that we are in God's hands. This picture was given to us when our son was dieing and it meant so much to me then. I hung it in the store a long time ago, so we would always know that we are in God's hands. Now I'm torn if I should leave it hanging there for staff and future owners to remember, or if I should take it home. All these decisions!

We have made so many friends through the store over the years and have been so blessed by it. We have been able to support and spread a craft that gives you so many hours of pleasurable therapy.

w how to knit and crochet... well you know what I'm trying to say. Yesterday at the doctor's office, there were a lady and her 12 year old daughter. I was working on a pair of socks and the daughter got all excited because she wanted to learn so bad! I showed her how to cast on and we were just starting on the first knit row when we were called in and we had to put the knitting away. I'm hoping that her enthusiasm will continue and she will seek out other teachers from whom she can learn.
