Relax

I have a wonderful friend at work.Her birthday gifts are usually over the top.Last September she gave me a gift certificate for a massage...and I am just getting around to using it..I know..I know..but truly I am busy..I know..I know...I should relax more... My back and neck feel wonderful now,but let's just say the massage did a number on my delicate balance.I've had massages before,in fact this same friend gave me a gift certificate for one a couple of years ago...do you think she's trying to tell me something?? I've never had a problem before...but I have heard of people who become physically ill afterwards...it must release some toxins of a sort in your body,anyway...I am now in that category.. the salad afterwards was wonderful...the photo doesn't quite capture it...field greens,walnuts,gorgonzola and a delicate blueberry vinaigrette... and deep dish yum These are reverse-bloom flower washcloths from one of my favorite knitting books weekend knitting by Melanie Falick...I made them last summer,and have a few left...they make a wonderful gift with some added scented soap...I knit them at the graduation ceremony of my son's girlfriend...my husband thought it was tacky-knitting at a graduation...I found it relaxing..better than a massage...well,almost...
