Time Heals All Wounds, Right?

Well, it's been a week since our beloved K2 left us. The house is much quieter and there just seems to be a feeling that there is a gap inside these walls. I look for him from time to time. I've thought I've seen him running from the kitchen to the bedroom twice. I know he wasn't there. Precious is all alone now. We adopted her when K2's sister, Annapurna, passed away. We didn't want K2 to be alone. He was such a grumpy old man - a curmudgeon! Poor Precious would attempt to play with him and the old guy would just look at her and find a spot where she couldn't jump on him. Annapurna left us two years ago. We had almost lost her two years before that, but our amazing vet did some sort of a process by filtering her blood (I think that's what he did) and gave her two additional years with us. She was adorable. She loved king crab! If she could eat it every day, she would. Needless to say, because we wanted to keep her well, we did feed her a LOT of king crab! There were always crab legs in the freezer! When her appetite would wane, I'd pull out a claw and feed her (and me) the meat! LOL K2 and Anapurrna were just the best animals. I'd like to think they lived so so long because of the years and years they had their morning vitamin. I've bored you enough!

I haven't scrapped much this week. It's been very hard on my right knee. For some reason, the femur has decided to slip out of the knee joint. It hurts until it goes back in. Sitting is impossible! When it is out of joint and I go to sit, the bone just digs in a place it's not supposed to be. I'm afraid it'll break a hip! Luckily, in the morning, when I get up, the bone has gone into place. So, the only thing I've done this week is color a stamped image.

Here are two layouts for you.

I had fun with this LO! Remember when all of us were very young and had nice bodies? Check out the slim and trim DH I had when we first married! I just HAD to give it the title, "Stud Muffin!" The funny thing is that DH didn't object! LOL

My Stud Muffin


The next LO is of DS one winter when we headed up the Pacific Coast to Santa Barbara. While driving, I spotted these flowering bushes. Would you like to know what they are? They are poinsettias! This is what they look like when they are able to grow and thrive! Gorgeous, huh? I just loved this PP and thought that it would be perfect for a boy themed LO.
