Ha ha, re the bell :) We do have one, but it is up on top of a tall cupboard, possibly put there when I got tired of it on a previous occasion. Both knees replaced all at once, O my, that is brave. I expect we will be going to therapy for a very long time. At the hospital they are noticing all his bad habits with posture and walking, so this could be a long haul. Glad you like my wedding hat - maybe now HB has a new knee, he can take me to the Races and I can wear it again (she says, wistfully....)Patriciahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11685403215601517267noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1579555037165364084.post-59513515098647910752017-05-28T11:31:47.918-07:002017-05-28T11:31:47.918-07:00You are spot on that it is easier to be the patien...You are spot on that it is easier to be the patient! I can't be the only wife to tell you this - don't get him a bell! But seriously, my husband had both knees replaced and after all the physical therapy (almost a year) everything in life was better. They did a little tweaking and cortisone shots until he was comfortable, but that was just during the first five years. <br />Love the pink hat. You have great eyebrows.

Twins re the guipure lace! Mmm, yes now you mention it, the 'heart' shape was a keyhole back from the 80s! (There is nothing new under the sun as Mother used to say). Yes, the little ones were adorable, especially their floral headbands. I see that Style Arc have already released a pattern of Kate's pink dress, which of course I will not be able to resist copying. That fog today!!

Have a feeling a weekend with Little Aussie will be filled with fun. Now, on to Pippa's bridal gown. I too am a huge fan of guipure lace, loved that. Not a huge fan of the keyhole back, reminded me of the bridal gowns I made in the 80's. How cute were the little ones. On dailymail.com have images of the flowers at the church and reception, stunning. Have a super Sunday, it is a little foggy out our way. Take care. xoxAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03860213685487294879noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1579555037165364084.post-27801517420935091242017-05-26T16:20:09.160-07:002017-05-26T16:20:09.160-07:00Good to see you back Carrie - sometimes we need a ...Good to see you back Carrie - sometimes we need a little break.

Progress is very slow, and some days they push him too much which results in going backwards the next day. HQ belongs to our youngest son and his wife, and only comes here for visits. She is such a girl, posing for her photos, but then there are the mud puddles, hmmmm. thank you for dropping by Val, and I hope you are having a pretty Spring over there.

I think she said that even though painful she made sure she did her rehab exercises so perhaps that is the trick. My father grows orchids and just like you I have the touch of death to the ones that land in this house. He told me to take them out of their little plastic pot and carefully and gently tease away the soggy moss surrounding the roots. Once the roots are clean re-pot using orchid bark. Water once a week and let the water drain and feed with aquasol once a fortnight. I have 2 that are still nice and green and have been in flower for months. Good luck and I hope your husband makes good progress.OneEnglishLadyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04747109933032515147noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1579555037165364084.post-82572397013574842102017-05-21T23:42:07.883-07:002017-05-21T23:42:07.883-07:00Thank you Sheri, I do find it tiring and keep tryi...Thank you Sheri, I do find it tiring and keep trying to work out why!
