On that FREEZING last Friday night, my senior granddaughter, Colby, cheered at her last home FB game. It was also senior night, and her mom and I walked her out to be recognized. I only cried a little! The years have just flown.

Two really big orange girls!
The heart on the fuel can(I googled the lettering on the galvanized can) has a vintage buggy wheel. I love the spout on this can. The heart is 20" wide and the total height is 25". Priced at $275.
The big hanging heart is 21" wide and 13" long, and the rusty old heavy chain adds a few more inches to the total length. I put a cool old rusty, chippy white hinge on the heart. Priced at $150
I'm so bummed that I couldn't be a vendor at the Ted Lare Fall Art Show yesterday, and the Backyard Art Show in Newton, today. I won't be at Vintage& Made, either.I just don't have the stamina to do the shows yet. Recovery is just too slow for me! However, I'm planning to do JuNk JuBiLee JiNgLes in mid-November.

This was another fun event last week. It was Homecoming weekend in Winterset. Homecoming is a big deal in small towns! My granddaughter, Colby, is a senior and a cheerleader-her last Homecoming. The rain forced the parade, for the public, around our square, to be canceled. UGH! So my daughter and I went to the pep rally at the school. The public is invited. Then I went to the game, in the rain, and watched her cheer there, too. She said it was fun. Finally, the next day, Saturday, there were pictures around our historic courthouse, before the dance. Colby is in the light pink dress. Luckily the rain held off till pictures were done.

It was an exciting day last week! My 1st great granddaughter, Lillian Mae was born last Monday, to my grandson and his girlfriend. Her round face and cheeks are adorable. Her parents are smitten with her and my heart is so happy! Luckily, they live here in Winterset, so I will get to see her often.

My Walmart zinnias and I are holding up! Today, I had my 6 week check up with my ortho doctor. Everything is great except for an infection in a small part of my incision. It hurts to sit. No other pain since surgery. So another check up next week, along with more high powered antibiotics. I can now go for short walks. 20 minutes exhausts me, and I can work downstairs. I'm exhausted after an hour or so. PT helps me gain strength, and the energy/stamina will take longer than I have patience!
BUT I'm ahead of schedule for everything!
I'll miss seeing my customers at the October events, but I know this recovery has to happen 1st.

A happy, happy update! These pics are from 2 weeks ago at my 2 week check up. I am many weeks ahead on my recovery, and at the check up, the dr told me that I only had the wear the heavy brace that reminded me of the concrete tent weights I used for many years, for ONLY 1 MORE WEEK, instead of 2-4!!!! And that I could use a walker instead of the wheelchair. I could only put 15-40% weight on my surgical leg(much better than 0% when I was in the wheelchair). Yesterday , my in home PT said she had gotten permission for me to put full wt on my leg, but still have to use a walker. It feels SO GOOD to walk. I also got permission to drive today. I had fun walking around Fareway.I'm no longer housebound-now like a free bird!!! I will still have weeks/months of therapy, but so happy this week. I'm thankful, that at 72, I still heal quickly and tend to bounce back. I can't wait to get back to walks, Jazzercise, gardening, and doing my work and art shows. The isolation and mental part of this last month has been much harder than I anticipated. Friends and family have helped immensely.
