It's been a long road

With a trip back in in-between. What happened to all that knitting time I thought id have? Have had some great nurses while here at methodist hospital. Some great visitors. However I do miss my latte this morning. Gotten to taste some. Good food ordered out to Paulson pizza and Sun-Sun restaurant here very good. Jennife brought yummy potpies fro Marie calendars. Mostly sleeping around here with a touch of knitting or playing on my iPod knitting an Analone out of some beautiful hamdspun that I spun awhile back

Women

I've learned that people will forget what you said,

people will forget what you did, but people will

never forget how you made them feel.

oh...and I ordered the "print"..she's got some awesome stuff...
 
Lot's of stuff going through my mind...but relaxed...feeling blessed...loved...and very thankful for all the beautiful gifts the Lord has given me and the blessings of so many beautiful people in my life.  Going to miss my kids the next few days but know that this will make me feel like a new person...and give me a chance for health and happiness...Women are funny and amazing...I wrote a note to my fav  yahoo group, you know  who  you are...about the upcoming hysterectomy and got so many awesome replies...truly an awesome group of gals...the BEST.  Last night an old and very dear friend said in her own crazy voice (I could hear it even thought we were texting)  "YOU ARE GOING TO LOVE IT"  heee, now that isn't exactly what I was thinking but she sure shook me up and made me think...oh to be more like Kathy and hit the world with her attitude...I think when I'm starting fresh next week I'll work on that...  Love you girl...  Had a great time at the lake this weekend...peace and relaxation...God is good...now into His hands...he'll take good care.

Bernat Mystery Afghan CAL

Woo hoo. It started yesterday and my yarn came in today. Am using colors that will go with Atlanta Braves for my son. My nephew was drafted by them this summer and Sean's been wanting me to knit him something in those colors! I'm really excited As it will be starting off simple and then get a little more difficult as it goes along. Bernat Softee Chunky.

I HATE CANCER!!!

I hate it, I really do...   A very dear friend, father, christian  is with our Lord right now, in Paradise, where there is no pain, no fear...just peace and calm and our Lords loving arms wrapped around him.  It's great for dear Bill, but I am just so mad at this disease...there are beautiful children and an amazing wife left behind.  Kids that have to grow up without there father's wonderful energy and good teaching.  A little girl who is the same age as I was when my dad died.  I know what my mom struggled with and know Anne will be going through the same things...It's just so hard when you know someone you admire so much will have to go on without her love and helper in life.  I know Bill is in a good place, like my dad and Gerry my fil...but damn it...  Hug your kids, tell them how much you love them...give them those words of wisdom that you want them to know...You never know when the good Lord will need you with Him.  Bill will add some excitement to heaven and will be rarin' to go to work...so keep an eye out for our newest angel in heaven

Here is one of my very first scrapbook pages, years ago, when Christian was their only child...Big Bend...we had the best of times!

Labor Day

Ashley and I had a chance to escape to the lake Sunday afternoon. Mom and Donald were there. Monte, Stacy, and the kids were there. It was great sitting in the dock drinking Lone Star Lite longnecks and visiting. Of course there were a million boats zooming around, rocking the dock in every direction but it was still good. Monte grilled burgers and we had birthday cake to celebrate Donald's birthday. Later Michael and Sean came up after a day of dove hunting at the farm. We spent the night and the weather was nice for sleeping on the porch. Today we tie-dyed tee shirts. Fun fun fun! Heading back after we eat so we'll be ready for school and work tomorrow.

Hot and dry. Would love for some rain to come our way. We have one stray cosmos holding on...
