As I mentioned in my last blog, I may have to resort to a photo now and then to keep you darlings amused when I cannot summon up words to titillate you. (it's kinda like being in a virtual coma and having to communicate by blinking my eyelashes). One blink for yes and two for no. As a person who is in love with words, you can imagine how unsatisfying this is for me, but, better than nothing, I have come to believe.
Here is a photo of my beloved ex-caregiver, Consolee, modeling her first crochet project, the Prodigious Scarf. Damn, I wish I had taken photos of her subsequent marvelous creations, a series of gorgeous afghans that made me proud of my student and amazed at my dubious teaching abilities.
In the background can be seen my wonderful Power Chair which enabled me to descend and ascend the ramp to the outdoors during my convalescence. Happily, now that I am on walker, nay, Cane, I no longer use it and I think it is time to return it to its parking place in the garage to be reserved for street racing with my neighbor, Marge, on her power scooter. I have no idea how my 2 lb. weights got on the seat.....I blame Consolee since I doubt if the cats know how to use them.
Here is another one of Consolee
with my two babies, Winnie, left and
Gussie, right. In the background can be viewed 2 spare oxygen tanks which, happily, are no longer needed, and in the left middle ground, a portion of my fabulous front door, designed and partially built by yours truly. If enough requests are received I will try to dig up the real photos I took of it upon its creation. (Oh my, you can see how low I have sunk .)
Well, as you can see, I am resorting to photos to hide my lack of creative blogging skill today. (I know I should not consider it that way, but blame it on free floating Jewish Guilt of which I still have a smidgeon......one cannot claim to be properly Jewish without at least a smidgeon of guilt.)
Another even more endearing shot of same photogenic personalities. Gussie looks like a dissolute alcoholic with a dreadful hangover.....I swear I only give her some of the milk from my breakfast cereal........neither I nor my cats consume alcoholic beverages, honest, though I frequently use same in my sadly far from gourmet cooking endeavors.....not to worry, the alcohol cooks off they assure me. Another great shot of parts of my door, my parquet floor and the grand retro armchair which has been rescued from obscurity as a cat couch and restored to splendor as a thing of beauty and caregiver resting place in Crochet Corner. I am still trying to figure out why, when I sit in this chair, the cats, rather than rushing to cuddle with me, ignore me with impunity. Could it really be that my lap is simply not adequate for proper cat nestling? Sob.....who knew till now that I had such a handicap? I used to blame it all on fat thighs, but now it appears that is is more likely too-short lap bones. Well, I'll be damned if I will have them lengthened for the likes of those guys.....I already know how much that would hurt.......
Well.......Th....th....that's all for today folks.....do come again for more goodies and perhaps even a humorous word or two.
