When i get sick.....

I don't waste any time getting sick! It usually starts with sore swollen glands in my neck, and moves into the itchy ears, along with the coughing and blowing. This time being no exception to that rule! But I didn't suffer to long this time. Because the daughter is also sick, and had made an appointment with the Dr......I called and got into her 15 min before the girl. Dr. laughed at us both coughing and hacking in one office, asking as she entered , who gave it to whom? When the truth be told, the hubby was in for a check-up last week, and she saw it starting in him, so she medicated him already! The girl and i had just seen each other, first time, in about 2 weeks!

the future SIL is on his way to see his best man in the state of Washington. John's troup came home this week from Afaganastan. His mom, sister and my boy are going to visit for 2 weeks. His mom has packed all the cookie sheets and neccesary equipment to feed the boy all his favorite things. I am sure his troup will LOVE everything she will make! The bad news is that John's son Lil Man is too sick to go with this time! He had an ear infection 2 weeks ago, and it didn't clear up! They are looking into the tubes in his ears. It's a shame he can't go with, Gramma was so excited and happy to be taking him to see his Daddy! But he will come home next month, and be able to visit with his son. And the lil man still has a ticket to use in the next year...so that means another trip for Gramma, HURRAY for her!

Life is good...enjoy each moment of it!

p.s. can you tell that my medicine has started making me feel better! Not sure how much sleep i will require today, but i will take everything i can get!

Home from the war!

The boy (almost-son-in-law) has a best friend who is serving over in Afganastan, it has been about 1 1/2 yrs since he's came home last! I have now added his mom to my list of messenger friends, and have been watching her count-down till he came home! I am so excited for her to be able to hug and see her son again! He is a very nice man, with a wonderful son, and a happy family. His mom and my boy will be flying to Washington to greet him, and spend some time there, before coming home. We are all planning a few get-togeathers while he is home.

He will also be the Best Man in the planned september 2009 wedding...YES...the date has been set! Baby girl's brain is filling with all the choices she must make, and the early planning stages. They are working on this togeather, which i am thankfull for, because it's not only HER day it's HIS day as well. I am excited and deathly scared at the same time! This will be the first of 2 weddings I have been expecting since the day my daughters were born. The youngest is my "fancy-pants" kid! She was the dressed up for nothing kid! Always matching and planning outfits, picking out cloths to buy has always taken her ALOT of time, if she could of she would have had them all! Just so she didn't have to choose something!

So...how can we pay attention to the "nervous butterflies" and not the "scared-to-death butterflies"? I may need some serious help over the next year and a half!

Stay tuned for further breakdowns.......

heavy snow...branches bow

The snows have been very wet and heavy. We have lost alot of branches off the trees, can't wait to do a spring clean-up! But for now they must stay stuck in the snow drifts,which are way too deep in many places to get to them! I feel bad for some of these trees, it was like they were not expecting THIS MUCH SNOW! It seems to stick alot when it's being blown by the wind so hard! Like frosting covering a cake! some from top to bottom are all white and pretty,like someone wanted to decorate them! What a nice job Mother Nature did to brighten up the blah winter days!

Well pretty....till the plows make it look ugly, sloppy, and yucky! But we must try to clean the roads, right?!! Everyone must drive to where they need to be! Thats why i take pics where only wild animals seem to roam!

time sure is flying by!

it seems like the minutes go faster and faster each year! With each new baby i meet, time seems increasing it's speed!

And now...a wedding date of 2008!

what am i gonna do now! Deal and enjoy life!

just whats been running through my mind these days!

so it's a monday......

Monday are ok days for me, now that i don't have to go to work on monday mornings, starting a work week is depressing! sorry to those who have to !

i try and plan fun things to do all week, like...visiting a certain friend, or chatting with a sister, or just getting the house clean and the laundry done! I must say, to the latter chore, without children, the laundry loads are alot smaller! And without said children comming home to wash their laundry, life is very easy....Laundry-wise anyways! Now it can be when I want to...as I want too! Without having to feel bad because the kids might have to remove my load from the dryer...in fact....i think the load in there now has been there since last week wensday! Life changes so fast!

changing subjects now! lol I am making a new afghan for my Etsy site! I started making this certain one, for my mother in law, who's B-day is on the fourth of July!When my g/f's hubby saw it, he told me he'd love it in bright colors! So i made one for him, in bright colors. Everyone who sees this one says...you can sell that one!I do enjoy making this one, and i love how it can fit into any home/style! I am making it long enough to fit on any couch (even the sectional ones!) It never hurts to have extra blankie to wrap the toes up in! right?!


now should i tell you all ...or let you keep guessing till i finish it! Maybe I'll wait, and see if anyone checks back and asks about it?!!!!!

i feel sneaky this way! hehehehehe

have a good monday

it's still snowing!

a peek out my back door....there are 2 bushes over on the fence line...the one near the garage is completely laying down now! the front bush looks like it is split from the center, flattening it down!

now the snow emergency has been extended till 9 pm...three more hours...watching the heavy stuff pile up!

tomorrow is another day!

enough snow yet?

i think we have had enough now!!! And tonight through tomorrow we could get up to 20inches more! Where are we gonna put that? and...oh yeah...lake effect could realy come back and dump us!

one happy...one sad

My youngest daughter turned 23 and was asked for her hand in marriage, by her boyfriend Greg. Hubby and I are happy for them, and wish them the best life can offer.

that is a highlight in my life...
now the down....


The news came, when i stopped unannounced at my sister-friends house. She had called my house, but alas we were outside shoveling the wet heavy snow! I had missed her call, but felt the need to stop at her house, call from my cell right out front, and asked if she could refill my coffee cup! When she told me , we have lost a friend/co-worker to cancer.Thank you "L", for telling me face to face.
Our friend was a sweet gentle and kind person. I have many fond memories of her...i will miss you...May you rest in peace

things to do....

why does it seem that my mind can go much faster then my hands! I think of all these coolio things to make and sell,(or like hubby says...)"give away", but just can't seem to MAKE the time to complete the said ideas! I feel realy bad when a project sits there not finished! maybe this week will be the week to finish and sell the projects sitting around here!

i also have soooo many ideas...i know...... haven't come to the
front of my brain yet!.
What is a gal to do?
Can I accomplish this?

I am gonna try my best!

have a good Sunday...does today start your week too?
