Hi Gail
‘here is a funny for you- I give all the kids socks in their Easter baskets, and this year I got all the girls a pack of Minnion socks from Kohl’s….LOL
I have decided to get out only one box of my Easter decorations , as I think it is just a good idea right now. I will do it after he gets home. Today, I am vacuuming, and then showering late, so I can be ready to go tomorrow in case of any emergency….which I hope will NOT happen.
Bobby is taking Gary to the hospital. It is in the next Town, and we are only 5 minutes away from it. I will stay here, the doctor will call me when he is done, and give me an idea of when he will be in his room. That gives me a chance to finish everything up for the business before I go in. You know the drill- end of month it is busy getting all the vendors paid. I cannot believe how many times I have to call some of them- nobody likes to answer a phone anymore.
The hospital chairs always annoy my back. Sometimes I sit in the one n the room for the patient- that one is more comfy. plus, with the short legs, that doe snot help either. I want to be there when he is awake, not asleep. I figure the surgery will start around 7:30- done around 10:30. Then the recovery room, for at least another hour or so, and by the time he is settled in his room, another hour. So, I figure between 1 and 2, I will be going there, and stay until after his dinner.
We got soaked last night with the storm- heavy rain, thunder, and the wind was really bad. The wind was so strong, it sounded like a train, which got me nervous thinking tornado. So, I was awake a lot of last night- even the remaining birch tree was smacking the side of the house- my bedroom, of course. Very noisy storm, but, thank God, no damage that I can see.
The sun is shining- yahoo!!!
How is Greg doing?
AdeleHi Gail and Colleen
I agree. When a family member dies, it brings out the worst, in the worst people. You really get to know someone when you see how they act with people’s possessions. It is so terribly sad, for everyone to deal with, while they are grieving.
AdeleHi Gail
The snow and ice changed to rain. It will be pouring, on and off today. we are supposed to get an inch of rain. If it stayed snow, we would get buried, so I am grateful for that!
My next door neighbor just put in a solar system. Out of the 12 houses on my street, 4 are solar. I cannot wait until they perfect the solar water heaters, so we can get the water heated without oil. My plumber said to stay away form them, until they perfect them.
Thank you for the prayers for Gary. he is looking forward to the anesthesia, because eh has not slept much at all in the last couple of weeks. I bet they will not get him to wake up. I tiled him I will get there, when he is back in his room, and awake- good and awake, as that way I will not have to sit in those uncomfortable chairs, and watch him sleep. I figure somewhere around 2 he would be awake.
Almost done with the house- need to finish dusting 2 rooms, vacuum tomorrow, and hope to get out a few Easter Annalee dolls.
I put the trip to NJ’s on hold. Might have to get Bobby to do it, or one of my Minnions. When I ask Bobby to do something, he usually says….”What, no Minnions available today?”
I just copied a recipe on King Arthur, for lemon cakes. I love lemon!
Hope your weather is good….have you heard anything form Barbara or Debbie? I think it is safe to say, we are all worried about them.
How is Greg doing????? I hope they are close to a hire.
AdeleHi Colleen
Our grands are certainly funny. they each have their little quirks. I love Gail’s stories about her little ones. Piper is such a character. I hope you get a visit in this week. You miss so much when you miss a week, when they are Itty Bitty’s.
I am trying to get everything done before Friday. So far, I still have 2 rooms to dust, and then vacuum. Also want to get the Easter Annalee Dolls out. I put so much pressure on myself it is ridiculous.
It is pouring here, and Gary had a tough night with his shoulder. Only 2 more nights to go!
Your roan comes here in a couple of days. At least we did not get the storm as bad as the south did. I would be scared to death if we had tornados. Those poor people. The weather has been so violent all over this country.
I got the dragonfly short sleeve shirt the other day. I love it! I hope they come in with more zipper crops in other colors. I have every color. I love that I do not need to hem them.
Hope you get to Costco. I needed to get to BJ;s, but, I do not think it will happen before the surgery. Running out of time. Thank you for the prayers for GAry.
hey- has anyone heard from Barbara? Is she ok? What about Debbie?
AdeleHi Gail
Thank you for the prayers for Gary. he is very anxious about this surgery, because people keep telling him it is very painful, and to Gary a paper cut requires Morphine. God bless him, I love him, but he is such a baby when it comes to these things. I keep reminding him he has no rotor cuff damage, so his will not be as bad. (His surgeon said that too)
We will both be glad when this is all over. I hope this will be his last surgery for a while. Since I married him, he has had 8 surgeries. Can you imagine that?
Oh yes, Marissa was so funny when she called, and said not to do breakfast yet. Hetaher was here too, as she spent the night, so it was fun with everyone here early in the am.
I really wanted to hug, and hold Aizen, but it was just not a good time. You know, with toddlers, it can get hairy…LOL He was so funny when he loved the cream cheese pie. He loves sweets.
Now, on the other hand, JJ loves bread with butter- that is his favorite.
I feel so bad for Greg. When they have to work harder at this age, it is hard, and they usually get sick form all the stress. He is in my prayers.
We are getting snow tomorrow- 3 inches, they are saying. It will melt quick, this time of year.
Hope you get some sun!
AdeleColleen and Gail
What is this about elephant knees? Colleen, yours are like Twiggy’s, compared to mine. Do not fret- you lost weight, and I bet you look real good!
We are all so hard on ourselves. We need to give ourselves a break. I bet Colleen looks good in a skirt.
AdeleHi Colleen
You are a great grandma too! We all are!!!
I hope the flooding stops. That is so upsetting, and you cannot visit your Mom. This weather has been awful. I always say, give me a snowstorm instead of a rain storm. Snow can be shoveled, nobody can control water.
Thank you for the prayers for Gary. All I have been hearing is…..”I do no like pain”. He is really getting nervous about it.
It was great to have them all here yesterday, but Aizen was asleep on the way over, and needed to go back to sleep- he was not a happy camper, as his nap was disturbed. he slept through dinner, and woke up when dessert was done. So, he was on Jhonny’s lap, and took 2 bites of the cream cheese pie, and di his usual, “Yum, yum.”
We could not believe how n busy it was out there on Friday, but, it was finally sunny.
Marissa is a cutie. She is a very caring young woman. We are lucky to have her.
I hope you get to see your daughter, and the baby this week. I also hope nobody is there, so you can hold her all you want.
Hope you are having a good, sunny day.
AdeleHi Gail
I think I wrote the response to Colleen for you…..LOL
We were so late yesterday after the accountant, and then forgot it is vacation week for the kids- everything was jammed. We tried 3 places, and ended up at the Friendly’s near us, ands till had to wait for 20 minutes at 2pm.
I did want to get everything done before his surgery. Gary did see his brother today. That was sad. he does not know him, but did say I have a brother Gary- has no idea it is him, though. he slept through most of the visit. Gary came back pretty bummed out.
Steph, Jhonny and the boys will be coming over tomorrow. I love when they visit. Today, Marissa came by for breakfast, with the 24.00 Kane’s donuts….LOL Poor Amanda works double shift all weekend long, so we will not see her.
You must have all been frightened with poor Kendall. That is the scariest thing of all. I hope she is a ok, as well as poor jenny!
Hope you have a good weekend!
AdeleHi Colleen
Not too bad at the tx man visit- at least we do not have to pay this year. That is all that counts. Gary hates going. But, since I took over all the bookkeeping, it has been a lot easier. He was awful at it.
Gary goes in on Friday. He will stay at least one night, and be home before Monday, as long as everything goes well.
I did not record the Chew on Friday- I forgot. I can on demand it, though. I knew Derek’s sister was not going to judge this year. I think it is because she is doing something else, and I cannot remember what I heard she will be doing.
Steph and Jhonny are still coming tomorrow. Only thing is, I may not be able to make his favorite thing- the mini cheesecakes, with the strawberries on them. The cream cheese has to be completely at room temp, or it will not mix well. If Bobby doe snot remember to get them tonight (he is out),I will have to make them another day. It is too late when he comes back with the shopping tomorrow. I will just do something else, and make them during the week.
It is in the 40’s here today. Got a dusting of snow last night, and that is gone.
I know how you feel about not seeing the baby. It is so hard, and you do not want her to get sick. I hope you will be good soon, so you can get back up there, before they all hog her attention!!
Hope you have a good evening.
