Trying this out


Havent been in here in a long time. Beth showed me how to get back in here. I hope I can do this daarn thing again. I know Beth has kept up posting on what all has happened with me. Today I finished my third nerve block. I really feel like it will help my back pain. Time will tell!!!!!

My husband and his son Robie is leaving for Oklahoma Nov 4th and will be gone for a week. Beth will watch after me at night time, but I am doing fine and I will go and visit my sisters for three days. Beth and I will work some on our banners for Jane swap and we are giving my first granddaughter a baby shower Dec.6 so we will work on invitations for the shower. We plan on covering a five gallen paint can with baby paper and put baby lotions, powder and all of the little stuff that my greatgrand child needs. I have 2 other greatgrand children, but I have never seen one of them to this day as they live in Alabama and not heard from them in several years. I also hame another greatgrand child that I have only seen one time as they also live in Alabams and doesnt come to see me. My granddaughter Emily comes once a month to see me or calls me once a month. So much for that.

Robie my stepson has come to live with us and we really dont know what we would do without him and Beth taking care of us. Robie drives us to doctors, cooks for us and cleans the house and Beth has made our house and flowers outside beds so pretty. She has cooked some and clean my house also. She comes over every afternoon to check on us. Robie is retired and he is a big help to us. I am hoping I will be able to do more after these injections in my back. I am still on a walker and hope that I can go to a cane soon and be able to cook some.

Now I am going to try to upload some of my art pictures. Beth showed me how to do it. Heres hoping that I can do this LOL

Trying again!


Here I am again!

Here I Go Again With My Blog

January 19,2008

I am trying again to write in my blog again. I just dont know how to do different things in my blog. For instant uploading pictures of my arts and how to do a lot of other things that you can do in your blog.

A lot has taken place since I last posted in my blog. We bought a house next door to us and we had to remodel it completely inside. We had all of the rooms painted Bisqui, except the kitchen we had it painted white cabinets. We already had hardwood floors in the den, dining room and halls. We installed hardwood floors in the kitchen and Breakfast room. We had tilted windows installed also. New carpet in both bedrooms and in my art studio we had vinyl that looked like hardwood floors. We already had a brick fireplace in the breakfast room and my dear husband gave me a corner natural gas fireplace. We still have a lot of work to do on the outside but guess we will wait until spring to do that.

Beth my daughter and her husband Dan bought our house that we moved out of. They repainted the den, kitchen and her art studio. It is so nice to have her right next door to me.She also does arts and we will be close to do our arts. We even will cook up meals and exchange the meals. Beth is planning on doing all the yard work this summer. She will plant flowers in her yard and mine since my husband and I arent able to do so. It is great to have your daughter living right next door to you!!!!!

I am sitting and waiting to hear from my Doctor as to when I will have my back surgery. My heart doctor gave me the okay to have it done as my stress test was normal. I hope it will be next week as my back and legs are in bad shape with pain. I cant do much shopping or standing a long period of time.

We had a good Christmas as all of my kids and grandchildren were here for dinner and then we had Santa. We had a good time.

Guess I better get back to making ATCS for the swaps that I am in. I hope to upload some pictures of my house and arts, but may not have enough sense and know how to do it.

Have a good weekend.
