The Mr. and I attended two fun events this week. One was a picnic for Hospice of Western Colorado volunteers with a beach party theme.
Libby Sweetpea is actually the Therapy Dog International volunteer for Hospice and I just drive her around to make her visits with hospice patients. It was the thought on the day of the picnic to leave her home because it would have actually been work for her to greet people, let them pet her, coo over her, and she would have had to be on her best behavior. So she got the day off after working for four years for Hospice, and we allowed her to sleep in
while her driver enjoyed some picnic food of pork loin.
Then last night was the Gala Event for Community Hospital with the Moulin Rouge theme. Proceeds ...errr...profits from the gala will be used to buy defibrillator units for our local schools.
On the needles this week is the Broken Rib Cowl:

Hi Nancy!
ReplyDeleteThe booties are so cute!
Thank you for your kind comment.
I like that therapy doggie, too!
Sounds like a lot of fun and for a great cause! Have a blessed day my friend, HUGS!
ReplyDeleteJust catching up here :D Cute little booties, you will show us the finished item won't you!
ReplyDeleteYour little therapy dog is so sweet. It's a brilliant idea to do this for hospices, not so often seen in the UK yet though. The knitting looks cosy, nice colours. I like your glass look decorations, very pretty. I walked a rescue dog today - a bit too big for me - who dragged me along and then abruptly turned around and dragged me back to the kennels - he must have decided I wasn't up to the job! Bettyx
ReplyDeleteThe dog is adorable. Everyone was dressed so fun at the gala. I love how Mary can still hula hoop. I used to be good at it. I can't keep it up anymore and boy did my babies give me hips.

ReplyDeleteI love that little therapy dog - so so sweet!
