This last week has been a whirlwind. We had a friend of my husband's funeral and wake to attend on Monday and Tuesday which was difficult for him since he died of the SAME cancer my husband has. They were college classmates so there were pictures of them together and they were in the UW-Marching Band. It was overwhelming that 2500 people attended the wake and about 1000 for the funeral. My husband knows a lot of people just like this friend because he was a teacher at a local high school for the band program whereas my husband taught music at the local college for 35+ years. My mother-in-law, who is 87, was in a car accident on Tuesday where she was driving and was hospitalized with a leg fracture so my husband went with his sister to visit her on Wednesday since she is about 70 miles away. We went to visit her in the nursing home where she is getting rehab on Saturday. So needless to say, my husband didn't keep up with his fluid intake this week so Sunday night I had to take him to the ER to get fluids again. I feel like all I do is nag him to drink and try to add flavoring to bottled water so he will drink it. I did spend a little time today making these cards because I needed to escape. Hopefully this week will be better.
We have new neighbors across the street so I made the first card using the color for Skipping Stones Challenge. My second card uses the sketch for Sassy Cheryl. And then I thought I better have a sympathy card on hand so I used Chupa's sketch and the CR84FN55 colors for this card.
