Julie was quarantined to her room yesterday with the noro virus. She had her first symptoms while visiting us on Thursday, and had to be immediately taken back to the Manor (her nursing facility). A quick phone call a moment ago says the entire Manor is now under quarantine, so I will not be visiting again today. All the halls are closed and patients must stay in their rooms. She said she felt pretty lousy yesterday, so hope by today she is improving. We are so thankful the Manor is on top of this crazy bug and that she is well cared for.
"Look for the presence of God in your life," Pope Francis says on New Year's (LINK HERE) It is a good message, and I will be on the lookout for His presence. Take a look at the homily if you have a chance. Gene and I are enjoying our new church home at IHM. This is my new app for my phone: The Pope
January 3-17 are the dates our parish will host homeless men overnight, providing food and shelter. This is the link for the sponsoring shelter. I am looking at all recipes to make inexpensive but nutritious trail mix, stored in give-away zip lock bags. Please email or comment on this post if you have a recipe your would recommend that would make 25 or so cups of mix. Here are a few I found: link
OK, today's update must include a new knit I made from left-over yarns. It is the Interrupted Striped Cowl by Gretchen Tracy.
It is my first 2016 knit project, made to go with my new Eddie Bauer flannel shirt:
Although colors are not accurate on my monitor screen, the colors really DO coordinate!
LOVE your new plaid shirt! I love a good plaid shirt. Be cute w/a neutral sweater and a sparkly statement necklace. I'm sorry Julie and the facility has been it w/the noro virus. I hope they kick it soon. I will read the Pope's article. While I don't go to church, I do believe in God and am grateful at the blessed life we have. Hugs!
ReplyDeleteHello Nancy. That noro virus is draining. I had it last January. It spreads like wildfire too so sensible to stay away in the meantime. I love your new knitting project. You would have loved the art exhibition I went to yesterday at the Scottish National Gallery of Modern Art. They were showing 'Modern Scottish Women' painters and I kid you not, some of the paintings were just so fabulous I wanted to take them down from where they hung and bring them home with me!! An interesting exhibit was a cast bronze figure of Queen Victoria which her daughter, Princess Louise, did. Apparently, she was the only royal ever to study in a public art school. I was most impressed. Have a good week, Nancy.
ReplyDeleteGet well soon to Julie. Your new creative projects DO look colour friendly!
ReplyDeleteI hope Julie is well very soon! I love the knitting project-lovely colors...
ReplyDeleteHi good Nancy! I wish I had a good trail mix recipe for you. What a kind endeavor.
ReplyDeleteI think my Jenny's family has the noro virus. Yikes!
I love your EB shirt and stunning cowl.
