Memorial Day updates

First off I hope you have a great Memorial Day weekend and remember the people that have served. 

I believe it is an American holiday, but I think all countries appreciate their troops one way or another.

This is a picture I took on the Seawall on Galveston Island this morning. Mr. Thinks He Can and I took a spontaneous road trip to the beach. I mean we woke up. I took my assistant for a walk at the park. We were in the car by 8:30 a.m. headed for the beach! It was a beautiful way to end a couple of stressful weeks. If you hate on sewing blogs not talking about sewing, you have been warned.

Remember how I sold my house? Well, we never found a place to live. We considered renting a beach house in Galveston, but it was too late in the season to find anything more than a 450 square foot apartment. I like the Mister and all, but it would have turned into a Mad Max kind of "two men enter, one man leaves" situation. Plus I couldn't fit my sewing stuff. On the other hand we couldn't find anything anywhere. By the end of last week I was going up to random people asking them if they knew anyone anywhere that would lend us a place to live. It finally paid off. We are moving two buildings over in the same condo complex and renting from a super nice neighbor I wish we had known sooner for a good price. Thank goodness!

Now I can get back to sewing instead of wondering around trying to find a good bridge to live under and scratching my own skin off. Yes, that is how stress shows up in my life. My hands begin to itch, peel, then bubble. I was in full on bubble mode. Thank goodness for neighbors who know neighbors!
