I've got a few pics to share with y'all, so lets get to it. First the vacation!

This is a picture of Jekyl Island taken from down by the village on St. Simon's Island.

As I said, the place is beautiful, even when it's getting ready for a t'storm.This is the lighthouse on St. Simon's. I have not yet gone to the top, but maybe on my next trip.

DH and I trying to look pretty:)

As I mentioned in my last post, I did add a little to my stash while away on hols - some needles and three little bent creek patterns. I'm hoping mom can get the fourth one for me. The lady in the store said they would order it on their next order. Like I need more patterns:) But I think they're cute.

I think it's coming along nicely - might actually be done by the time the baby arrives! lol

I received some bad news today. One of my dear friends, and the best Speech Therapist I have ever worked with, Amy, just found out she has metastatized breast cancer in stage 4. She already battled and beat breast cancer a few years ago, but what she thought was a cold, and when she went to the Dr. was thought to be walking pneumonia, was actually cancer. It has spread to her lungs, liver and spine. I talked with her today, and she was in good spirits. She truly is a remarkable woman. So positive is she, that her comment was that I'd have to work with a bald SLP this school year! Send thoughts, prayers and good wishes her way whenever you can. I know I will be.

Cheers
