Hello Sweet Friends,
Hope your week is going well.
Mine has been a bit more productive
this week since I have been getting
more sleep. Still experiencing an
energy shortage but guess it will take
awhile to get that Vit D in my system,
and hopefully that will help.
Oops forgot you don't know about
that yet..............
Guess I had better explain......
Went back to the Drs. on Friday for
the report from all my bloodwork
and sonograms. Dr. said most of
my bloodwork was near perfect.....
but I did have a Vit. D deficiency,
and both sonograms showed no
problems other than I do have 1
kidney stone which he said I have
probably always had and will
probably never give me any
trouble and sure hoping he is
right about that.....so Dr. was very
positive about everything so I left
very thankful for the good news
but a bit perplexed as to why I am
positive about everything so I left
very thankful for the good news
but a bit perplexed as to why I am
feeling so exhausted, but looked
up the symptoms of a Vit D de-
ficiency and that is one of the
symptoms So....guess we will see
what happens.....I am to take 3000
units of Vit D daily and they will do
another blood test in 3 months.
Since I have been in this exhausted
stupor I have had no creativity
pretty much.....course, I have been
thinking about what I want to do
for Fall, but not ready to do any
thing, which is good, cause I don't
have the energy to do it anyway,
but Monday I just felt like I needed
to do something creative as it always
seems to be like theraphy for me. So
was thinking maybe I could just do
one simple placesetting or something.
So I remembered I have a table runner
that is sort of Moroccan looking that
I got when I was in Charleston in
May.....
I loved the color combo and I thought
it would look great with white dishes and
my green place mats that I already have,
and they did match perfectly but they
are too big to use with the runner as it
just doesn't look all that great.....
and I have to use place mats cause
if I don't use a tablecloth, the tabletop
is mostly glass and scratches very
easily. So sorta just did an easy faux
placesetting just for the fun of it and
to have something pretty to post. lol
and I can always use the camera
practice as well.
Anyway here are the results of my
playing...........
I layered a green napkin
over a navy one.
Used my white corelle ware plates and
Borrowed the bowl from our bedroom
Used my Wedding silverware, as it
seemed to need something ornate.
Love these lil Moroccan looking
apetizer/bread plates.... since they
were similar colors decided to
throw them in the mix. Got them
at Home Goods in Asheville.
Nice overview
Grabbed a pitcher of hydrangeas
from the guest bedroom
Used my blue everyday glasses,
and
This shot reminded me I needed
some candle light...........lol
So here it is with some
candle light. Much better!!
grabbed the cookies from the kitchen,
and with all of those pieces came up
with this quick one place setting.
These are really so much easier,
but typically I actually have a real
tablescape to share, but this was
fun. I love the challenge of just
seeing what I can come up with
just by shopping my house. lol
Well, hope you enjoyed my
playing and photography.......
Thanks for coming by......
Always nice to know
you came..............
Have a lovely rest of the week.
and
Keep your light shining brightly!!
Love, Hugs and late
August Blessings,
Nellie

Glad you checked out so well, Nellie!
ReplyDeleteAnd I really like your table. I'm one for patterns - and mixing them
Hope the Vit. D does its trick. Are you able to get some NATURAL D (sunshine), too?
Beautiful Nellie, So glad to hear you had a good report, I also have to talk Vitamin D supplement! Praying for renewed strength and energy!
ReplyDeleteBlessings,
Sue
Morning Rebecca,
ReplyDeleteSo good to hear from you hon. Yea, I am hoping the Vit D does the trick too, that is the
funny thing, I live in Florida and I do sit out and get sunshine and I don't put sunscreen on since it is for not more than 15 mins. at a time which is all you can take in the heat.
.....so a bit crazy. My Dr. said the same thing....he said he sees this all the time, and we live in Florida, so he said imagine what it must be for people up north........
Glad you liked the table......
Thanks for coming by to visit and for our sweet comments,
Hope this finds you do very well hon,
Blessings,
Nellie
Morning Sue,
ReplyDeleteAlways nice to hear from you......
Thanks for coming by and for your encouraging comments, and thanks for the prayers...I will take all of them I can get.........lol
I had been feeling pretty good for a few days and today I am just whipped, got up feeling
like that.........crazy....But this too shall pass.........
I heard this joke once, someone asked a man what his favorite verse in the bible was,
and He said "and it came to pass", then said, Thank God, "it came to pass, and didn't come
to stay".........
Now that's my story and I am sticking to it............lol
You take care hon,
Blessings,
Nellie
Hi, Nellie.
ReplyDeletePraise our LORD for your medical report! I pray the LORD will dissolve the kidney stone or does not let it grow any bigger!
I love your new runner! Your small dishes match perfectly! Did you already have the plates or did you buy them with the runner?
Steve comes today to mow the property. It surely is needing it, lol! Have a great day. I love you all, Susan
Hi Susan,
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely....am trying to get the sonogram report to find out what the size of it is....as
the Dr. didn't know, but it should be in the radiology report.....thanks for the prayers!
That would be a great thing to happen.
Actually I got the plates way before I got the runner, Got the runner in Charleston and the
plates in Asheville, same store tho.......lol
yea, when it rains a lot it makes that grass grow like crazy....course, we didn't get as
much rain this week as in the last weeks......
You have a great day too hon,
Love, Nellie
Dearest Nellie, I am a fan of Moroccan styling, so I adore this. Those little bread and butter plates just add a special something for sure! Vitamin D deficiency is rife in the modern era I hear. I think the whole 50+ Sunscreen idea has a lot to answer for. It does make you feel exhausted, so I hope you pick up real soon. Lots happening at my end but I won't bore you here. I know you'll visit when you can. Here's to good health sweetness! Love, Mimi xxx
ReplyDeleteHi Mimi,
ReplyDeleteGreat to hear from you as always.....yea, I agree about the sunscreen, it is definitely a
double edged sword, course, I only wear it when I go to the beach and that has been quite
awhile ago, and I try to sit in the sun a few times a week and I drink quite a bit of Vit
D fortified milk, so go figure.....but have to say I am beginning to feel better and have
been sleeping better and taking that Vit D daily, so hopefully I will be coming out of the
woods here soon lol
Glad you liked my moroccan table, I had fun doing it.....lol
Hope all is well at your house, and you could never bore me with details....
Thanks for coming by and for your sweet comments and well wishes....
will be by to see you soon hon
Love and Blessings,
Nellie
