Yes…I’m taking things slowly. I am improving, but I’m still having some troubles with my back. When I first went to the chiropractor…I had four places in my back that was out and now I only have one. My 3rd lumbar vertebrae was the worse, but as of last Wednesday…it was staying in place, but my 4th lumbar was out. I’m sure something is still out as my hip has been bothering. I see the doctor today…so we’ll see what he has to say. Since my last visit, I was allowed to slowly start doing some things…like cooking and washing dishes, but no running the sweeper or picking anything heavy up. The doctor is wanting to see if things will stay in place once I go back to my normal routine.
Since I was allowed to do a few things…I went with Mr D. to pick up his medicine at the drug store at our local mall. There just happens to be a country shop directly across from the drug store…so we went over there while they filled his prescription. It felt good to get out of the house for a bit, but I have a admit that I was ready to go back home after that…just that little bit of walking got to my back and my right hip. However…while looking around the little shop, I found this in the clearance area.
~A glass display jar…..
It’s not showing up very well in the photo, but this is what I put in it…the pears and cinnamon sticks that were in this small basket.
I really like how they look in the bottle…and I’m thrilled that I won’t have to dust off the pears any more.
It is sitting on the top of the old jeweler’s cupboard between our living room and dining room area. I’m still trying to figure out how to hide the white cord (under the chair) that is to the baby monitor. Any suggestions?
I’m sure there will be more changes to this as I go along with changing my decorating style…but this has to do while my back is trying to heal. Can’t wait until I’m all better…and can start painting and sewing again. Yes…when that time does come…I will be taking it slowly…little bits at a time.
Until next time….. blessings, Cindy

Still praying for you Cindy. I know how painful back troubles can be. You just keep doing what the doctors/chiropractors tell you and you will be back to your old self in no time. Love your new glass jar. The fruit you put in it is especially nice. Did you make it?
Hugs and prayers,

I love that tall jar, very nice! I would suggest maybe a long basket under your chair to hide the cord? I hate when cords are too bright/dark to be hidden well, I think they should make cord covers to help them blend in;) I’m keeping you in my prayers Cindy, I know too well what back pain can do and I hope it goes away very soon (((((BIG HUGS))))) coming your way!!!

I’m glad your getting stronger Cindy an able to start slowly back into your “life” again. We got dumped on here yesterday evening and all night and it’s still snowing hard. It looks like close to a foot of new white crap out there. So over winter aren’t you. This winter is going to be in the records as our snowiest winter so far. Fun, not! Take care, big hugs!

Hi Cindy ~ I just wanted to pop in and thank you for being such a darling friend and leaving your sweet comments. You are such a dear! I love the bottle you brought home. Wonder what it was used for? I am praying for a quick recovery for you, you poor girl. I know that when your back hurts, your whole body hurts. Blessings to you ~ ♥
