So far my 3 day weekend has been very lazy. It's cold here again and we're supposed to get snow so it's a nice weekend to hibernate.</p><p>Yesterday I got an email from Chewy and it made me laugh.</p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEg1XZRVyAxf_9EwEf8Jt1WrjErJZ7biy2zTify7FHXv64n4a5ZXryw5gWrbUd5hguDD9dsqkS_awNOJMeU82qozm1WJg1gMoBSBmGtx3QfnSJmMrODYdXNEgqztsSMjPR5Ayfs9MVcys3qMLuG0tghFV1FUA8PrUs8W-bWa2Z10eVgLOZuE12OQPXMpKs0" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="" data-original-height="798" data-original-width="626" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEg1XZRVyAxf_9EwEf8Jt1WrjErJZ7biy2zTify7FHXv64n4a5ZXryw5gWrbUd5hguDD9dsqkS_awNOJMeU82qozm1WJg1gMoBSBmGtx3QfnSJmMrODYdXNEgqztsSMjPR5Ayfs9MVcys3qMLuG0tghFV1FUA8PrUs8W-bWa2Z10eVgLOZuE12OQPXMpKs0=w313-h400" width="313" /></a></div><br /><br /><p></p><p>I told you about the hearing appointment I had that got cancelled and rescheduled.

Friendly and helpful. My hearing is still about the same as it was when I got the first hearing aids. She told me that I still qualify for the OVR program which is what I went through before to get hearing aids free. She told me that she thinks they have simplified the process and the income requirement has increased. She asked if I was interested in going through that again but told me if I preferred she was more than willing to take $6,000 from me to pay for them outright. She gave me all the paperwork to get things started then asked me if I wanted a loaner pair of hearing aids until I could get approved. They are low end ones but the do the job. She also gave me a box of batteries as these are not rechargeable and said hopefully that would last me. I don't always make the best choices but this time I think I really picked a good one.<p></p>Annhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12886333496997952719noreply@blogger.com12tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-708718912504052807.post-13169822469957744442024-03-09T00:30:00.001-05:002024-03-09T00:30:00.134-05:00Bad boys, bad boysThe other day I looked out the window and saw this in the doctor's office parking lot behind my house<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Today I'll show you the three things that I purchased. They had all their Easter stuff 40% off. All three of the items were in with the Easter decorations but none of them are specifically Easter. </p><p>I bought this cute pink basket.

I'm just cheap like that. Once in a great while I find something I like well enough to spend money to purchase the cut file. I had seen a lot of these egg lanterns in my Facebook groups and really liked them. The files I purchased included 3 different patterns. So far I've only made one. The files came from an Etsy shop called GOMArtcraft. <div>This is an Easter lantern. It's along the same lines as the ornament I made the other day. Again there is no gluing other than the paper behind the individual panels. The rest of the pieces just all slide together.</div><div><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjyJhZm31u5t6KpqOM831Je8_8ym5kTDCs4HFRg_GpQ-IlqROOyDwC7eupy3-6Wr49twfsNw2AfmwleLQaYjoNSuFQGfZrpFgZVJZfAj4UZtQYsqBrYJSYl7eHSnJ3x_SZ5c2qSYrmMi7JSR5j2ZtDARK9ZUhraU0LC7_5202gYP0Q9bLUbyQsVJqVjBcg/s4080/20240222_152554.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="4080" data-original-width="2296" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjyJhZm31u5t6KpqOM831Je8_8ym5kTDCs4HFRg_GpQ-IlqROOyDwC7eupy3-6Wr49twfsNw2AfmwleLQaYjoNSuFQGfZrpFgZVJZfAj4UZtQYsqBrYJSYl7eHSnJ3x_SZ5c2qSYrmMi7JSR5j2ZtDARK9ZUhraU0LC7_5202gYP0Q9bLUbyQsVJqVjBcg/w225-h400/20240222_152554.jpg" width="225" /></a></div><br /><div>I put fairy lights inside this before putting the last panel in place.
