My 17"-by-20" silent auction quilt is finished, with label, hanging sleeve, and button embellishments. One more quilt show project checked off the list.
Somebody on Facebook, I believe, mentioned this lotion, Two Old Goats Arthritis & Fibromyalgia Essential Lotion one day last week. I researched it and decided to order a bottle. Nothing ventured, nothing gained, right? Well I ventured, and I gained. The stuff is great. I'm not touting it as a miracle cure or anything. But it does help. I rub a little on in the morning when I first get up, and several times throughout the day. It even helps the back condition some.
The lotion contains a lot of natural stuff: lavender, chamomile, rosemary, eucalyptus, peppermint, birch bark, goat's milk, almond oil, aloe vera, eye of newt, toe of frog, that sort of thing. It also has a couple of chemically sounding ingredients, but I don't care. I'm using it. Anyway, I love the name of it--Two Old Goats. Isn't that charming?
Sister Joanne and handsome nephew Jed came over last night with armloads of goodies from KFC. We ate and ate and ate, then we played a few rounds of a new game Jed brought called Once Upon a Time. It was great fun. Players use cards as prompts to make up stories. The player who uses all her cards, including her ending card to finish her story, wins. There are challenges and interrupts and such like to keep the game (and stories) moving. I think I won one game. In fact, I think each of the three of us won a game.
We're going to gather again tonight for some more gaming fun--and some soul food for sustenance.
I thank those of you who gave comments, info, and advice on your knowledge and experiences with stenosis. Be assured I'm taking all of it into account.
Gotta go now and get that soul food (better known as mess o' something) cooking and sew on a few more quilt labels.

What a sweet little tessalating Pinwheel quilt you've created! Love the fabrics and the colors, too. I imagine there will be a lot of bids for this one because it is just the right size to be a doll quilt, a table topper, or to hang on any wall - even to enliven an office! Applause, applause!!
Oh, YUM! I do love KFC and that game sounds like lots of fun. Cheers for family, food, and fun as good medicine, too.
What an interesting bottle of stuff and I'm delighted to hear that it helps. DH was given a Tired Old A** Pack and those products help, too. Who cares why they help as long as you feel better?
Oh! Our rain started 2 hours early. What's up with that?
Hugs!

Hi Susan...thanks so much for the recommendation. I just looked it up, and i think I'll be a new customer. I don't have fibro like you, but I do have bad knee pain in both knees...I've about given up all my spring mulching which i love so much. I'm going to give this a try - it's definitely worth it! Love your quilt, too.
