01 Aug Just A Little Note…
Just wanted to let you all know I am having hernia repair surgery this morning. Therefore, there will be no official post today and tomorrow, but I hope to be back by next Monday typing away on my couch. If you think of it, I would appreciate your thoughts and prayers. I, of course, am not looking forward to the procedure and subsequent recovery, but things like this are so much different when you have little ones at home, ya know? Hopefully, I will just be dreaming of beautiful peony arrangements and when I can get home to my five favorite faces.
I so appreciate the time you spend here, time out of your busy day. Writing here feels like talking to friends, and I really enjoy sharing my projects and inspiration with you, along with our renovation and tidbits about everyday life. Thank you for reading.
Have a great weekend!

Posted at 08:46h, 01 AugustGrace, although I’ve been reading your (and others’) blog for quite a while now, this is the first time I’ve ever left a comment–anywhere:) Believe me, the feeling is mutual–taking time out of my day to read your blog is something I always look forward to, it’s always uplifting and a bright spot in my day. My prayers are with you for a successful procedure & recovery.

Posted at 04:29h, 02 AugustHi Grace!
I’ve never commented here, but I just wanted to send along some more well wishes for a speedy and comfortable recovery. My husband had hernia surgery a few years back and he was good as new after several days of movies and popsicles. Your blog has quickly made it to my bookmarks toolbar, and I check it regularly as you always have fun and interesting posts that inspire my own design. Hope you are well again soon.
Grace
Posted at 22:38h, 07 AugustOh Marlo, thank you so much for taking the time to comment! That is good to hear about your husband. I will admit, when the doctor told me, “at least two weeks on the couch”, I was skeptical. But holy cow, I have felt pretty terrible, mostly due to the migraines and the nausea that come with them. I can function and feel sane by about one in the afternoon, and I typically have a few hours of relief before the next migraine hits. I am, however, so happy you enjoy reading, and I appreciate your encouragement, G
