Little Betty Bag :: Free Pattern And Tutorial

Nice bag here if you are into bags.

Here it is 5:30 and I am writing the blog. Nice for a change instead of later in the evening.
We were waiting all day to hear from our friend buzz who had to take Bob to the hospital yesterday. But no luck, I hope he is okay but I am thinking he may be sicker than we thought. I am praying for him.

That's Bob in the red shirt as if you didn't know, Ray in the blue plaid.

In the meantime we went off for our walk at Metrotown and because we walked we stopped for half a cinnamon bun. Oh my isn't that awful.We encountered a chap and his 2 kids looking for Toy's R Us and we could not remember where the store was until after they had left to talk to the concierge. We haven't been there for a couple of decades at least. It is beneath Sears on a lower lever and there was no lower lever in the section where we were except for parking. Man the mind does slow down. Too bad. We wanted to buy some shoes for Charlotte so we looked in Gymboree as they carry some shoes and they had a great sale. But tough luck , nothing. Maybe we can go back again on Sunday. I have looked in regular shoe stores but they don't have a selection of shoes for young children. Maybe I should look on the internet. Tried that . No luck, I need more time.

The rest of our day was the same as usual except for this evening. Remember when Ray had to go for treatment on his back. He had an episode a couple of days ago when he went to get something into a closet in the hall. His back kicked up quite a session and was extremely painful. Tonight he was trying to drain the air conditioner . He was down on his knees and his back did the same thing again. It was obviously very painful and this time I saw it. He managed to get up and to the chair without help. He was in so much pain. I got the Myoflex and rubbed it into his back. He took two Tylenol extra strength. Then he asked for my walker which I brought to his chair. He went to the back of the apartment and I haven't heard from him since. We have trouble here with small bathrooms. Rick has trouble even getting into the main one . I wish there was something we could do about that. Rick said he almost fell the night he stayed here. They are small standard apartment sized bathrooms and are for healthy people. I hope Ray feels better tomorrow , he says he'll call the doctor . I hope she will be available since it will be Saturday.

So that was the day for the Boudreaux.

Time for photos.....

I think this pattern is called BuzzSaw. Betty used to make this one. I am going to check out the pattern.
