OPAM and A celebration ....


This month I finished up 3 of these zippy project pouches

I could only find a picture of 2 but there are 3!


 I also made my very first ever pair of socks....


... and a couple of little postcards


... even though they are small they still take me quite a bit of time....


The end of June this year was our wedding anniversary and this year we celebrated 40 years ..... gosh I can't believe the time has gone by.  

I remember celebrating my grandparents 40th and also my parents and thinking it was monumental them getting there.... and now we are there!!

We chose to celebrate by going to the coast for a few days....


we just love walks on the sand - I like to paddle 


every step is a photo opportunity...


... and yes, I am wearing a new ring with rubies in it!


I am having surgery next week - my gallbladder needs removing and a late cancellation moved me up the list....  I'll be quiet for a while I think.

Righto, Gotto Go..... I'm going to get a few rows of crochet done this evening....

Happy Anniversary! May you have many, many more happy years together. Holding you in my thoughts for an easy, text book surgery and speedy recovery. Afterwards, if anyone says to you, "You've got a lot of gall!" You can reply, "Not anymore!" :)
