coed rooms

Coed rooms in hospitals? Yes we have them and have had them for years. There are screens between the beds if needed for privacy. I have been in hospital many times in the past few years and have not found this to be a difficulty. If your bed is private and screened off from the next bed what is the difference. I guess it depends on how sick you are. Most people are pretty sick in hospital.

Today is a statutory holiday celebrating the Queen's birthday. It was  originally created to celebrate Queen Victoria's birthday. 

24th of May,

Queen's birthday.

If we don't get a holiday

We'll all run away.

An old ditty we all used to sing even though we did get the holiday. Of course once you give the citizenry a holiday it is pretty hard to take it back.  So we now celebrate Queen Elizabeth's birthday on this weekend even though her birthday is in April. 

Ray and I went to the mall and ti was so crowded and busy we could scarcely get around. The elevator was jam packed with baby strollers and me of course with a walker. Baby strollers today are huge and take up a lot of room. 

We went to Chapters because I wanted to buy Natchez Burning by Greg Iles. I am so proud of my Ray as he found it first, and he bought it too.  It is a huge book well over 700 pages.

As you can see it was 40% off the list price and when Ray went to pay for it they took another $5 off that price. Good deal eh?

We had a cinnamon bun , well half one each and a coffee. 

Then we went to the Children's store and bought up something for the baby that is  coming this month. I am excited to see him.

As it was so hugely crowded we left the mall and came home. 

We are going out to TOPs for dinner. 

I see lots of pictures of quilts but very few patterns for them. I like this one but it is just for ideas that I put these on the blog.

This is so cute , what a nice little gift. Too bad I am allergic to cat fur and dander. I love their little faces though. This little guy is adorable.

This is a special sewing machine that Singer put out.  I looked it up and found if to be around circa 1950s. 

185K the green machine.

There that's it for tonight.

Have a great evening folks.

Good night.

Sleep tight LOL.
