Story of the Week and Stash Enhancement New stash for a new project. 
I have finished a few things and cast on a few new things.
Ted is doing better. He has less back pain, so thanks for the prayers. Ted had a Birthday on Saturday. We spent the day at the Zoo, with his sister and some of Teds kids and grandkids. It started out chilly, but all in all was a good day.

Story of the Week and Stash Enhancement I have some stash coming, for the Rug Sweater.
Over the last 2 weeks I have finished a languishing wip from last years Pink along, pulled another Languishing wip back into rotation, and worked on 2 other projects.

Things a changing with my work, and Medicare changes. Because of that I will be getting a cut in pay. I have been with company for 11 yrs, and my pay is going back to my starting wage. Because of the changes in Medicare reimbursement a lot of companies are lying off employees, and the job market is not open.  But I believe in God, That He is Good all the Time and that He will make a way where there is none, And I hold to the Promise that He will supply all my needs, according to his riches in glory.
Ted is steady. He has had a setback. Having a lot of pain in his back, so his therapy is on hold right now, had a MRI today. I believe it is more tone related to the stroke. So we would thank you so much for your thought and prayer on these things.
