Ahhhhhh...I feel better
I did just what I said I'd do - I stayed away from the Olympics last night and it was refreshing...granted, most of the reason I stayed away was that Brian has food poisoning (no, it wasn't me, he ate something at work) and as such, it was an interesting night...he's still pretty sick today, you get the idea...I bought him a buncha comfort foods - mashed potatoes, pudding/jello, nilla wafers, crackers, chicken soup, white bread, yogurt, bananas, Sprite, foods that are bland and easy on the stomach...he's had some jello and mashed taters and I'm trying to convince him to take some Immodium AD, but he's afraid it'll come back up so we're at a standoff...I can sympathize, i had an intestinal bug when I returned from Germany that tore me up for over a week...took me a second week just to recoup...things'll get better as we go, but sometimes your body just has to get thru it...at least he's drinking water and getting some food in him...
I've had some antique samplers 'in the shop' the past week and just picked them up from a local conservator who took them out of their terrible frames and stitched them to some acid-free foam core covered in fabric to keep them in as good a state as she can...they are dated 1793 and 18XX something, i can't remember the date on the second one...they are kinda beatup, but it was fun to get to see them out of their frames - we took pics of them and I'll attach them to the back of the frame for posterity...I was thinking of taking the saying from the old beatup sampler and creating a new complimentary sampler using the same colors...Here's the back of the piece, where you can see what the colors look like...the front, they are all faded into oblivion...(I'll post more pics once I get them all processed)...
