Primary Immune foundation conference/convention is here at this resort

JW Marriott Desert Ridge Resort and Spa. Thursday, Friday and Saturday. Coming home Sunday.
 Mercy! a five star resort. There will be a refrigerator in the room so I can take things to eat from home. The fair will be much too costly for this girl.
My nurse will come on Saturday morning to start my six hour infusion. She will then be able to attend with me free of charge. A gift to her. My prayer is a good infusion. This is some treat. I won a scholarship that covered the lodging. The conference was fit into budget. It will provide an evening meal. It will be so fun to play...be a princess.

On Wednesday next the process to begin my knee replacement will begin. The hope is for a minamally invasive surgery. Loosing weight now has got my BMI down to 32.13 as of today. The BMI of 35 makes one non acceptable for the robotic technique. Scary times ahead. My camera is iffy.

We are all doing well. My leg stopped working the last day of vacation. Now it locks up several times in a day. We got to have holiday however.

The last several weeks I have been in study.
Interior decor redo
The whole of the house has been transformed. From room to room balance in decor has been achieved. Although there are several more details to attend too I am so pleased. Plants will become my next goal.
NASA (yes) lists the top 10 plants to remove indoor air pollution. It will be my wish list of desire to accomplish 9 of them. On is not good for us folks with latex allergy.

If I qualify this new robotic arm makes a lesser recovery. My thigh muscle would not need to be cut.

Oh what a wonderful group of ladies.

What a privilege to hear the beauty of voices chattering and sharing minds that flow with such creativity.

I forgot my camera!

Laughter accentuated the meal. A nice gift exchange (the last of it's kind) was an adventure seeing the things that were so unique. 

The other day I had thought about spring and had glanced at purses when I was out getting a gift for Dash to give at the party last night.
I passed them by with a grateful heart for what I had.
So funny the package I first had in hand just did not feel right somehow so I traded for a box that had wonderful vineyard type paper on it. In it ....

Yep!

A new purse. Now the funny thing is Saturday morning I put on some glue on nails and gave myself a pedicure too. That bright pink...That is the color that I painted my nails. It was the first time I think in over a year that I used that color. It matched a pink in my spring colored skirt. Same color as the bag!

 

This is the bag I purchased last fall. It is leather (my first leather bag) so it will be cleaned with some saddle soap before I store it. That bag is like a suitcase. Served well flying to Florida but it has gotten heavy on my shoulder. They have a way of filling up however big they are.

I tried the new bag, it is so spring like but I think it is supposed to be for a travel case. It has to be held by hand or on my arm so it is iffy if I'll keep it for daily use.

Cool though how I received what I had desired a new purse.

All I have need of. :)

So visiting with so many wonderful new ladies opens up a whole new school yard of knowledge and friendships. It was so wonderful to take it all in. 

Both of the children had sleepovers last night .

It was the first time in YEARS that we were alone just the two of us at home. 

We went to pai wei for fresh stir fry and then went to the Wal-mart and purchased an old movie called "seven pounds" with Will Smith, It was so nice to cuddle up on the sofa and just watch a movie in quiet, no interruption or questions. Nor did we even have to pause it for anyone. I know it sounds simple but it is the simple things in which we find delight. It is just our way.

It was wonderful to have a date together at home in the peace and quiet of home.

All a day of play for me.

I am so rested.
