This is what I have been doing today. I was at it before 7am.  Gotta  get in my PSP fix every day. I sure do like using PSP Ultimate X2. o only used my initials so the file would not be too large.

Etta Sue, a great devotional.  The last paragraph is one to ponder.  I wonder what I would have thought - done - said. 

I got this one, with permission, from another of Pat's sites, Photography Cafe.

A father was approached by his small son who told him proudly, "I know what the Bible means!"
His father smiled and replied, "What do you mean, you 'know' what the Bible means?"
The son replied, "I do know!"
"Okay," said his father. "What does the Bible mean?"
"That's easy, Daddy.." the young boy replied excitedly," It stands for 'Basic Information Before Leaving  Earth.

Very good Jeanne. I like it.

Don

Good devotional, Etta Sue, and like Jeanne, the last paragraph makes me pause to think and ponder the question posed.  I'm so glad Ivalou had a good day at church and eating out with "the gals."  Social interaction is really good therapy, too.

Marilyn, that's a cute little bouncing thingy!   

I have been on the phone trying to sort out things.  Our national painting convention is coming up in May, and will be in Wichita.  I haven't attended in a number of years; not since the last time it was in Wichita.  Anyway, three or four of us ladies will be going and sharing a room, so I'm trying to figure out which nights we will be there and which days, so I can try to reserve my classes.  (I know, TMI---sorry. )

I went and read Beth two more chapters of the book, then came home and made her some tortilla roll-ups, then Darrel and I went to the dance class.  It was fun! 

No news, I'm just being a Chatty Kathy, as one friend used to say.  Bye!

You're having another birthday, Anthony?  How old are you, 29? 

Whatever the number........HAPPY BIRTHDAY!  And many more!

I did something today that I have never done before.  I went to a Junior A hockey game between our town's team and the Elliott Lake Bobcats.  I am not a hockey fan but I must say they did well.  They won 8 - 4 for the Bobcats.  The reason for the deviation from the normal was because our cousin in CA has a grandson on the team.  What an amazing young man.  We were able to talk after and I found a very polite, devoted Christian. 

I have appointments in the Bay tomorrow, so I may not be around much.

Have a peaceful night folks, and a great day

Happy Birthday, Anthony! 

Looks like it is going to be another gloomy foggy day in Indiana.  Come on Sunshine!  Come on Spring! 

Today is Ivalou's first out-patient therapy.  She has Speech today.  And then we have an hour to kill and I have a cystoscopy at my urologist office.  If I am 'clean', it will be 8 years since I have had a tumor in my bladder.  I don't feel like anything is awry!

Ivalou just called me to see if I was up.  It is just now getting daylight and I had my blinds closed.  She couldn't see any lights on at my house.  We check on each other all the time...as we should.

I have two projects this afternoon.  One to turn my lift chair to its side and tighten all the screws again.  That needs to be done about every 3-4 months!  Another to take my insert out of my fireplace and WD-40 the wheel that makes it look like a flame. It is getting noisy!  Irritating really!  I can't remember if I can do this by myself or not.  Getting the insert out is awkward.  May have to call Kitty to see if she can come help.  I have been thinking about doing this for several days now.  Time to get busy! 



 

Happy Birthday Anthony!





Hope you have a blessed day and many more birthdays.

Good morning, everyone.  There is a fresh 3 inch layer of snow - a heavy wet 3 inches.  But we didn't get the freezing rain and the icing that was a possibility.  And the temperature is heading for above freezing.   

Etta Sue, sounds like you have another of your busy, busy days.  Love the graphic of the little boy and puppy.   

Janet, never too much information.  It's always great to know what you're doing, so keep all that info coming.

Hi everyone.  I had a nice weekend at my meeting and got home yesterday afternoon about 2 pm but was so tired I had to take a couple hour nap.  I feel much more rested today.  I had to miss one of the meetings as was getting too tired so just went to the motel room and rested.  It was nice not to be the one driving over the weekend as it was raining on us on the way down and all day Saturday.  We had to go from the motel to a convention center but we had been alerted to bring an umbrella.  Fortunately it wasn't cold this last weekend.

Today we are suppose to get up to the low 60s.  It is very sunny and nice.

Pat has gone to a quilting event this morning.  I have my men's luncheon at 1 pm and then this evening we are meeting friends for dinner at the Texas Roadhouse and then plan on playing Mexican Train with them.  However, we will have to see how Pat is feeling when she gets home as to whether we will do that or not.

Etta Sue, thanks for the new devotional for the week.

Anthony, happy birthday. 

There are too many postings to try to make individal responses today so will just sign off for now.

Hi, friends,

I'm here to first wish Anthony a happy birthday and also a happy birthday to LisaMarie. May you both experience God's blessings as you move each day through the new year.

It's been a kinda quiet day today, but tomorrow has shaped up to be busy most of the day.

A friend called and needs help on his computer, It's time for another physical therapy visit, and then lunch with friends. Seemed as if my phone was really ringing a lot today.

Well, I think I'm gonna log off and watch part of the Predators hockey game. My daughter's love of the game has certainly given me an interest in watching, although going to the arena is kinda hard, given the steep steps to climb to get to her seats.

Y'all have a great rest of the day.

Ruth Ann

Hi everyone.  Another beautiful, sunny and soon to be warm day here in Georgia.  Our temp is to get up to 64 degrees today.

We enjoyed our evening with friends last evening.  We had a good meal at the Texas Roadhouse and then a game of Mexican Train, visiting for awhile and finally a little piece of apple pie and ice cream.  We were home before 9 pm.

I am going with Pat this morning to meet the cardiologist at Kaiser.  She is following up on her monitored test she finished a couple of weeks ago.  I want to meet the cardiologist as thinking seriously of having him be my heart doctor.

Nothing else on the schedule for today.

I am starting over with my list of animations.  I don't know how many I have.  I will have to count them some day! 

Well, I am really disappointed.  I truly do not like to return things.  But a $50 set of sheets should not be catching on my rings that I can't get off my fingers and they should not be pilling so soon.  They are 100% cotton made in India and 230 thread count.  I thought I was getting a great set of sheet the first time in my life but I am very disappointed!  I am taking them back...all they can do is say 'Sorry!' or give me my money back! 

Nothing much happening today.  Just some laundry and a pot of smoked sausage, onions, potatoes, carrots and green beans on the stove!  The house is smelling delicious.  If the pot isn't too heavy, I may call Ivalou and share with her.  (take lunch to her)

Right at the freezing point and cloudy and gloomy out today.  I thought it was to be sunny today and tomorrow according to the weather report but what do they know? 

Anthony - Happy Birthday to you........ 

LisaMarie:  Happy Birthday to you too!

We spent last night at son's house just to be with grandson - we about froze in the bedroom and this morning I found the vent had been closed.  both of us are really beginning to be sissies about being cold and here we live in Colorado.  I don't mind if I have the clothes but there were not enough covers last night. 

So, we are getting a few more hockey fans!  I like a clean game because it is fast and really interesting if you know what is being done out there.  My dad played on frozen lakes in Minnesota and our children did as well and also at indoor rinks.  Grandson is rarely on a frozen lake but when he goes out with a regular crowd you can just look at him and see how graceful he skates.  Me - I don't dare put skates on again - had a fall on my skiis and also my bike so that was two big falls and that is enough!

We took one grandson to visit daughter who has a new puppy - it is love at first sight.  A mix - rescued from Utah - just precious.  I wanna puppy! 

Larry:  Wishing Pat the best in her checkup.  We like Texas Roadhouse & meet friends there about once a year. 

Etta Sue:  Love the news about Iva Lou.  It is amazing to see her recovery and so quickly.  You are the angel helping your sister. 

I am off to bed momentarily.  I have been really tired today so bed earlier than usual.

I had trouble getting onto the site...did anyone else? 

I have to take Kass to a Dr's appointment then take our 4 puppies to their Doctors appointment.  They are getting their first set of shots, and will be ready for sale tomorrow.  They are so cute the girls would keep them all if they could.

Well have a good night folks and God Bless.

I surely did, Judy   I kept getting the message that this page couldn't be found .... I've waited several hours and it looks like stuff is humming along once again. 

I thought it was my dialup!

I got this animation in an email yesterday.  I don't think anyone can look at it and not be happy or, at least, smile.     Is he a squirrel or chipmunk?

Not much new.  I didn't take lunch to Ivalou yesterday.  The pot was too heavy.  I called her to see if she wanted to come over here and she said she thought it was too far to walk.  She hasn't walked on grass yet and didn't want to walk to the road by the way of our driveways.  She will venture out soon!  She hasn't been over here since probably August sometime.

She still doesn't write very good and I had gotten her a pocket purse calender.  So when I took her mail to her, I wrote the important stuff in the front of it.  She hopes now when she does write that she can read her own writing.  I think she does great!  I can read it! 

Today is rehab and then we are coming back to Ivalou's and Bette is going to pick us up and then Jane and then we are going to have Chinese.  It will be fun to be in a different group. 

Also I am taking back my sheets today.

Yes, folks, the site was down for a while last night.  It had been down close to two hours when I finally gave up and went to bed.  But everything seems to be humming along nicely this morning.   

Etta Sue, I love that new squirrel or chipmunk or whatever he is!  You're right, you can't look at him and not get a "lift"!  What a shame those expensive "good" sheets turned out to be such a disappointment.  I hope you don't have any trouble returning them.

Judy, I'm also on dial-up, but could access other sites with no (or not much) problem.  I know ... I always think it's something to do with mine or me, too.     

Quick awakening this morning as g-son had a text message that his school bus had been canceled.  We had to hustle to get him to school and then we just came straight home here - yes, we remembered to feed the dog and put her in the kennel area. 

Etta Sue, I think that's a chipmunk, but whatever it is, it sure put a smile on my face.  Cute!  Thanks.

I had about one hour of sleep last night, up early for a Dr. appointment, then to work out, then to care home to read to Beth, home for shower and wash hair, to senior center for lunch, then home to my recliner and a nice nap.  sometimes I feel like this little guy.  I just hope I can get a good night's sleep tonight.

Tomorrow I have three appointments by 11:00, so doubt I will be resting much.  

Darrel is already eating a bowl of soup.  Maybe I should go get one for me!  We made a big kettle of it yesterday.

Hi everyone.  I have a few minutes before leaving for choir so will post a few lines.  I have been feeling the effects of yesterday and have been very tired today.  We went to Bible study this morning and could have easily fallen asleep but didn't.  I rested two different times this afternoon but still feel as weary.  I do these spells every once-in-a-while so am not concerned.  Sometimes they last a couple of days and then I am fine.

Pat had a good report on her echo from yesterday that everything is fine and the problem she has with the fibulation is not anything to worry about. 

We are under another flood watch in the Atlanta areas with a predicted 1 to 3 inches of rain in this section of the State before tomorrow afternoon.  Fortunately, I have no appointments for tomorrow other than to go to coffee at McDonald's.

Larry, it probably would make your lives easier if you had the same cardiologist.

I've really been busy today - taught that gentleman on his computer for 4 more hours, he took me to lunch, I got out of his SUV just in time to fire up the PT Cruiser and head to the shoulder surgeon, then on to get my hair cut.

Good news!! No surgery needed for the arm, and he thinks, based on my progress today, that I'll have an on-time recovery. He says these rotator cuff things usually take about 6 months to get well. Also, he feels that the messed up bicept muscle is responding well to the therapy, and shouldn't need surgery, either.

HOORAY!

God's so good, isn't He.

Janet I had a day like yours.  Pick up Heather, then to the Doctor with Kass, to Tim Horton's and pick up Jon,  and we all went to the vet.  The 4 puppies were weighed and given their first shots.  They are all heavy and healthy. I dropped Heather and Job off at home then on to Dougs, to hem a pair of trousers for him.  He could have done it but it was easier for Mom!  On to the drugstore and home.  Whew...I am heading to bed very soon.

I have tendinitis in both shoulders and the left shoulder is frozen .... whatever that means.   The physiotherapist said he is recommending  a diagnostic ultrasound.  Well God is in control of that and this.

I am rambling.  I am off to bed tomorrow will be a better day.

I have a 9:00 doctor's appointment to talk about my blood test results; then a 10:00 care plan meeting for Beth, then at 11:00 have to be in Hugoton to meet a friend at the care home there.  She is coming to do some entertainment for them.  Not sure what she will be doing, but it will be enjoyable.  So another hurry, hurry kind of day.

It is extremely foggy outdoors here, and everything is either wet or covered with ice.  I haven't ventured out to see which it is, but I hope only wet, as I do not like driving on ice.

I will probably check in again this afternoon after I get back home.  Got to run now!
