Just a quick update

I have been so neglectful of the blog of late and for that I apologise.  Life gets in the way sometimes and you have to prioritize. 
Hubby has been in some pain lately and his PSA is back on the rise which is causing some concern.  We spent a long day at the hospital only to find out they had forgotten to put his name on the chemo schedule, so we have to get his treatment done next week, which will make for another long day. 

Sadly we had to say goodbye to one of our much loved dogs.  Max, our Border Collie had been with us for 14 years and was a wonderfully smart, faithful friend.  We miss him terribly.  He had taken to following hubby everywhere, from room to room, never leaving his side.  As much as I love pets and animals in general, it's times like these that make me want to say never again.  It's heart wrenching when you have to let them go.
We still have our Cailin and she is still a bit lost since she has always had Max,  but she has been getting some extra attention which she is thoroughly enjoying.

The "project" is still a work in progress and is moving rather slowly.  I can't spend as much time on it continually, as I would like, so I am usually working on it in the wee small hours, when the house is quiet and I have a little time to myself.  I did make about 100 circles while waiting at the hospital.  It gave my hands something to do other than wringing them.  As I had stated before there has been a lot of trial and error going on so that takes up time also.
I also have had other smaller projects, so I try and squeeze those in when I can. 

I also had friends ask me to make them some jewelry and she liked it so much she wants me to make pieces for her sisters wedding in October. 

Oh and a little bit of update on the Eilean Donan Castle site.  They have added a live Webcam so I can check in and see what the weather is like back home.  It is amazing how many people who are vacationing there who heard from family to turn and wave to the camera lol.  They have had more than 10,000 visitors to the Webcam in a week since it first went live.  And the Facebook fan numbers continue to increase, which is great.  They have been having some unusually hot days over there, so this has been good for the castle visitors.  They also have their gift shop open online and will be adding to the items they have available.  I am sure that will also be a success.
