On this Sunday morning... the day before my knee replacement surgery... I thought I'd join Chari for some whimsey and a little mental break... Hope you enjoy my contribution... 
and in my office... I have a baby...
that perhaps dreams, that someday, he will grow up...
and be a big boy... 
but for now... he'll have to resign himself to knowing that, his shadow reflects the metamorphosis of the big boy chandy he will become someday... down here in French Lique...

it made me think about how shadows are often so much larger than the thing they are a shadow of...and a note about the chandy shadow... I completely forgot to take photos of it's installation... I followed the directions supplied by Wilson Graphics very carefully... and though, due to it's large size, it was a little cumbersome for one person to install it alone, once I got going, I found it pretty easy to do. It does take a while... with all the little "crystal" pieces, which have a tendency to want to stay on the paper you peel off... I used my Martha Stewart boning tool... and with a little patience and care... Voila'! I would highly recommend Wilson's products... I've bought others and been disappointed, but no disappointment here! I love it!
Knee surgery??? Where have I been??? I know I've been gone, but I want you to know I will be thinking of you, Dixie and praying that all goes well.

ReplyDeleteDixie, I have had 2 replacements and it's a piece of cake, a walk in the park, easy peasy..no problem...ok, ok, maybe not that simple but you will be up and running before you know it. I will keep you in my prayers.

Dixie...my thoughts and prayers are with you for your surgery...you will do great...after all your a Texas Gal...
ReplyDeleteI love it too! You did a great job.
ReplyDeleteYou have been on my mind quite often with your up coming adventure. Been praying through the preparations and will continue on into tomorrow. Just drift off to sleep and dream of all the wonderful junking trips ahead. AND boy do I need a girls retreat. Will talk more about that in the days of your recovery.
God bless you dear friend ;-)
I need a knee replacement too so I will be checking back with you. Loved this post-I have a baby chandy too that needs his own shadow!
ReplyDeleteWishing you a speedy recovery!

I'm so sorry you have to have knee surgery! My knees have really been a problem since I moved recently so I totally understand the pain, etc. You will be like a Bionic woman when it's over! :-)
ReplyDeleteSending you best wishes and healing energy along with prayers for you and the medical team.

P.S. Your chandys are beautiful!
Dixie, I just wanted to drop by and tell you I'll be lifting you up in prayer tonight for your surgery and will be thinking of you tomorrow. Think of me as your shadow.

Cute ideaon the chandys. Trish
ReplyDeleteNo little prayers from here only big ones for my new bionic girlfriend. I just hope I'll be able to keep up with you!
ReplyDeleteSo happy to hear about her new job. Things are falling into place for her new adventure as well.
The silverware caddies I found recently right here in Wimberley at the Senior Center Thrift. My mother came up right before Mother's Day and we did the village.
I'll be waiting for a report on how things go/went today...
Peace!

Ijust found your blog. I hope your surgery went well. I had my right knee replaced last October and my left one in February. I'm having my left hip replaced in August and my right hip three months later. I am very happy with my knee replacement. I'll be 38 next month.
ReplyDeleteIf you have any questions, please let me know.
