JUST KEEP SMILING

I finished the two quilts at group yesterday;  it is so miserable to try and enjoy something, even something you love, when you have a pounding headache!  The meds from the doctor that knocked the headache right out of my life for the first time in years, will not be covered by my insurance.  So, I can try and get 'coupons' from the manufacturer or contest the refusal by the insurance (which is just a ton of busyness and paper work) or try something else!
  Which is what I did last night.  We will see how it goes. 
 The doctor and patient get so excited when there is a new medicine that works without side effects and the insurance won't cover it because it is new and costs them more!  I do NOT have any sympathy for them!  Sigh....
My lovely phalaenopsis is blooming again! 
 I love having one in my room because it cheers me up!
And Bill found this for me--a TALL wooden ladder that is going to be transformed into a trellis/archway for my Wisteria plants! 
 More to come!

  1. I am so sorry to hear that about your medication. I had that happen to me years ago with some ulcer medication and it made me so angry. Those old wooden ladders are real treasures. I am kicking myself for not keeping dad's. They were covered in paint and were works of art. There was one folding ladder with a tray that I really loved. I can still see it in my mind. Such fond memories of painting our bedrooms over and over whenever we wanted a color change...lol. I did keep his paint bench and use it as a stand in my art room.

  2. I'm so sorry about the insurance company. I've had the same experience and it's so frustrating.
    That wooden ladder will be beautiful as a trellis and your artistic hands are just right for making it.
    The quilts did turn out beautifully, even with the headache. Again, I'm so very sorry and hope there is a solution to your dilemma very soon.
    Blessings and hugs,

  5. Beautiful orchid! I put mine in the woodland garden as planned - but it seems it gets more direct sun than I thought! My poor babies got a little sun-burned. They are now on the sunporch and hopefully will recover just fine! So much for that experiment!
