Hi Adele,
I am glad that Gary’s surgery is over and they got it fixed. Hope that the doctor is wrong about being in pain for 2 days. Gary will not be able to stand it. I am glad that you got to watch some of the shows. I had to tape some of them also. I did see part of the show that Patrick Hoy was on last night. Fell asleep half way thru it so will watch that half tonight. I did buy a top though. I got the top in Blue Iris the one with the scalloped neck line. I forgot the number but it was really cute. I have been wanting it for awhile. Now I need to get the yellow cherry blossom top and navy capris. I hope that they have them in the dream jeannes. If not I will get the terry cloth ones. They had stars on the bottom. I guess they will go okay together.
It is hard to find a good parking spot at the hospital when you need one. Maybe there will be a handicap space open for you and you will not have to do a lot of walking. They always seem to have a lot of parking spaces for the handicap until you need one then they are all full. Maybe since you are going at 2 it will not be as bad.
That wind was really strong. 65 mph is really strong. You were lucky that you did not have any damage. I am like you windy weather is not pleasant and we can do without it. It is supposed to be really windy in March. March is going to come in like a lamb so it will go out like a lion. I hope that they are wrong this time.
Well I will go for now. Will keep praying for Gary. Hope that he gets to come home soon.
ColleenHi Adele,
I will be praying for Gary tomorrow. When you go to the hospital. Take your pillow and if your legs are too short turn his waste basket on its side and put your feet up there. It will help to keep your legs from dangling. I do that sometimes if my back is hurting and I am at my daughters. It helps for awhile. You will also be standing so that will not be too bad. Here I go with all this advice. lol
I do not like when the wind is really strong either. It is scary even if it is not storming. Wind can do a lot of damage. It can up root trees around here. We have so many because of the woods. Our poor dog was going crazy last night. Every time he heard the wind blow he would start barking and waking us up. It was not as strong as the wind you had though. We just had the wind when we had the snow. Ron threatened to throw him outside if he didn’t stop. He didn’t listen though.lol It is weird how some of us got the wind and snow and others got the wind and rain storms. This weather is just crazy this year.
Snakes will nest anywhere they think that they will not be discovered. They nest in the ground so they need brush and things like that to cover their holes. They say if you pour bleach down the hole they will move but have not noticed that it worked around here. Now that we do not have our snake guard any more Ron is going to have to be extra careful.
I am so glad that Heather and Steph made up.I can imagine that she really missed the grands. That would be hard to not see them. Maybe they will not have another argument for awhile. My daughter came over tonight for dinner with her two girls. They are funny. The sixteen year old thinks that she is a brain and knows everything. She would argue with you if it was a bright sunny day and you told her the sun was shinning. She is just like that. She likes to think that she is right all the time. Can you remember the days when we were right about everything and our parents did not know anything don’t talk about our grand parents. It is funny how they change after they get a little older and have to live in the world.
Well that is about all from here. It is almost time for Quacker factory. Want to see what they have in the show.
Have a good night
ColleenHi Gail,
That was really nervy to ask for you Mil. wedding rings when she had a daughter. That is terrible to do that. I am glad that she did not get the mink either. It was nice that your sil gave the mink to Jenny. Some people think that everyone owes them something. That is crazy. My mom made out her will and the lawyer told her to make a list and give the stuff to who she wants to have them. She has been asking me and my brother what we want and we keep telling her well we take this if no one else wants it. I imagine that is how all of you were with your mom and Greg’s mom. Except that one sister in law. That is just sad to have to go thru that. I do not think that we will have to go thru that at all. We will see. I know that the best thing that happened is when you took you mil. in. You would not take anything away from her. It is good that your sil did not have them move in with them. She would not have had anything left.
That is really nice that Jenny lives close to kids that she knew from school. She can feel safe letting the kids play together. It is also nice that the kids live next door to their cousins. They have someone to play with all the time and she knows them really well. We really enjoyed living in a small town. We should have moved a lot sooner. Danyielle was older when we moved down here and she was use to living in Rockford. So guess it was our fault that she did not like this area much.
Is Greg having any luck finding someone to work with him? I hope that he finds someone soon. I know that you are worried about him working so many hours. It will happen soon I am sure.
Well that is about all from here. Tonight is the night of the quacker tsv. I hope that it is not too short when I see it on the models. I like it when they have the short model on there. It gives you a better idea of where it will come on us. I am a little taller then you are but my legs are short. If they cover my elephant legs then I will get it. I figure if I do not like the vest it does not have to be worn with the outfit. Thank you for reminding me what the name of the skort was when we were younger. They were different though.Well that is about all from here. Have a good night.
ColleenHi Adele,
We did get the snow last night and this morning. We got 5 inches here but not sure how much they got in St. Louis where my daughter lives. We were going to go to St. Louis this week but Ron has changed his mind. He has to help his bil burn some branches and stuff on his property. So he needs to get that done. It is supposed to warm up this week so he will do it now instead of waiting. He wants to get it done before it gets too warm and the snakes nest in the stuff.
I hope that you get everything done before Friday. I would not worry about getting the Easter stuff out. You still have enough time to do that. I hope that Gary has gotten over being afraid of getting the surgery. He will do fine. We will be praying for him. I am sure he will do just fine. He will feel so much better after it is all over and he is healed.
Gail’s Piper is a little character. She is going to be a star some day. I hope that Greg finds someone to help him at work. That is really worrying Gail. There is always something going on.
Not much going on here. We did not go out much today with all the snow we had. It was a mess when the wind was blowing. I am glad that it is all done now.
Well that is about all from here. Have a good night.
ColleenHi Gail,
It is better to have the kids in a small town then in the city. At least you know more about their friends and families. It is hard to keep track when you live in the city. My oldest daughter did not like it as much as the other two kids did. She loves living in the city. Well at least in the suburbs. She likes being close to the stores and all the action. I never thought that she would turn out like that. She even married a guy that was from the country and he likes the city better also. I guess he had more woman to chose from to date while they were married. As you have guessed I am talking about her X. I do not think that he understood that when you get married you stop dating. lol
They have no idea why she quit talking to everyone. Her first husband did not know either. He said that he tried to get her to tell him a few times but she would not say. She always was a little crazy. So we just say that is what was wrong with her. At least the would make my mom laugh.
We had 5 inches of snow here. It was a really pretty snow. The wind was strong though and really blew it around. It was pretty on the trees. It was big flakes they are usually really pretty. By the afternoon it had started to warm up and the snow started to melt. It will probably be a mess in the morning. We wills see. At least we did not have to go out in it. Ron keeps saying that we are going to have a snow in March. He thinks that it will come late in March. We will see if we do. I think that he is going by the Almanac. We will see what happens.
I noticed that sometimes she will put some cards on here and then she will stop for awhile. I do not think that the big ones that she puts on will show up on here sometimes. I guess they are still having trouble with posting things like that. I hope that they get it fixed soon.
Well that is about all from here. have a good night.
ColleenHi Gail,
It is funny how in our younger day we lived in town and now we are so happy being out from there. It would be hard to live in a place like that now. All the traffic and the lights. That really drives me crazy when I stay at Danyielles. The street lights that are on all night long. The traffic always going up and down the streets. Guess we are too use to the peace and quite.
Christine is doing pretty good. They still have not done anything for her foot. They are just taking too long to do something. She has her next appointment in April or May I think. I will have to ask her again. I just keep praying that they will get her in sooner and get that taken care of. I cannot imagine how hard it is to try and do things with his foot hurting so bad. That is terrible.
People probably know that she is a little crazy and do not pay attention to her or her name. My sister has two kids and we have never seen them. I know that it bothers my mom but she acts like she does not care. My dad just told everyone that he was done with her and did not care. I just never did believe that either. It would be too hard to do that. You never know what will happen when you all grow up and move away from each other. She was older then me too so we did not have a lot to do with each other. I better shut up about it I do not want to bore you to death. lol
Are you supposed to get the snow tonight? I did not know if it is headed your way or if it is coming from your area to ours. We are supposed to get 5 to 6 inches of snow. We will see if it happens. It has been a strange winter.
I am a little worried about Barbara. It has been a long time since we have heard from her. Hope that she is okay and Jerry also. Have you heard anything from Debbie lately? We have really lost a lot of friends on here. Hope that they come back.
Well that is about all from here. Have a good night.
ColleenHi Gail,
I have lost weight and am in a medium. Just hoping that I do not gain the weight back and have to buy new clothes again. I still have elephant knees though. My knees did not get any smaller. It is really aggravating. I wish they a surgery that took the fat off your knees. I would be there for that surgery.lol It is hard to get up and move around if your ankle is hurting. I know what you mean about the brace. That back brace they want me to wear gets in my way and I do not wear it as much as I should.
I can remember wearing skorts when we were younger. They were called something else though. I cannot remember what they were called. I will have to ask my mom she will remember. She is 93 and remembers more then I do. They were not popular for a very long time though. I keep going back and forth on that tsv. Maybe I will order it and try it and see if I like it. I can always send it back.
That was nice that your mom had friends in Florida that she knew. It must have made it easier on you to know that she would not be there alone. It is hard when your parents live so far away. It is hard enough on us with mom living as far away as she does and we can get to her house in a couple of hours. We wish that she lived closer to us but she never will. She is just like that. She likes where she is at and will never move away.
We live in St. Louis county when I was a kid. It is funny because I could go anywhere in St. Louis without getting lost. Now there is no way that I would go to St. Louis unless Ron or the person that knows their way around was with me. Even when we go to the fox to see a play Danyielle drives. I am not good at finding things anymore. I guess we have not lived there for such a long time that I forgot a lot and things really change. Now I am like you. I do not think that I could live in the city or county anymore. I like the peace and quite here where we are. Just hope that it stays that way.
It is sad how we drift apart when we get older. I do not see my sister as much as I use to either. We keep in touch thru my mom. I see and hear more from my brother. I guess when something happens to mom he calls me. Then we both are there to help take care of her. My oldest sister does not drive at night and will not drive when it is raining. So we just take care of things. She is divorced and has no one around. I at least have Ron to go with me. My brother has his wife to go with him. So it is better for us. My one sister would not come if she was the only one available. She is not that type of person to come when there is trouble. My other sister we never hear from at all. I have not seen her since Ron and I got married. No loss though she was kind of crazy anyway. lol
Well that is about all from here. Have a good night.
ColleenHi Adele,
The flooding has stopped. I t was a flash flood and this time not as bad as the last time. Flash floods in this area do not stay up for that long but they sure can do a lot of damage. The poor people that have to live thru it twice. I am just glad that mom does not live where it floods. Just the area around her.
It probably will not be as bad as he thinks that it is going to be. That is usually the way it happens. We will just keep praying for him and hope for the best. I hope that the pain will be no more then he can stand. I am sure that they will give him enough pain medication that they can to help him thru it.
That is sad that Aizen was grumpy and you could not hold him and spoil him a little. That is funny that as tired and cranky he was still excited about the ice cream cheese pie. That is so cute. That is funny that JJ is more of a bread and butter kind of kid. Most kids will go after the sweets. It is just funny how different each one of the grands are. They all have different taste and act differently.
I am not sure if we will make it to St. Louis or not this week. We need to go to Costco and pick up a few things but am not sure if we will do it this week or not. Ron knows how much I want to see Aliza. I really do miss her. I do not like to call Danyielle that often because of the baby being asleep. Do not want to wake her up. It is hard when they are this tiny. They just grow up too fast.
Not a lot going on here. I did laundry all day and got that all done for a week. I hate doing laundry. That job is never done.
Elephant legs are when your knees are so big they look out of proportion to the rest of your legs. That is my problem. They are still just as big as always. They look awful.
Have a good night.
ColleenHi Adele,
I do not think that Gail Ron right now. He is watching too much news for her. It is funny that you got them confused. Like Gail said it use to happen all the time on here. We each had the wrong husband at one time or the other. It was just funny.
That is always when you do not have to pay in. Uncle Sam takes enough of our money. It would not be bad if they put it to good use but they waste a lot of it. We could do better on our own. Our president now thinks that we have more money then we have.
We will be praying for Gary. I hope that the surgery goes well for him. That is not bad just staying for the three days. Usually the insurance will pay for most of the cost if it is a short stay. You never know though. It just did when I was in there. I only stayed for three days.
It is so nice that you are getting to see the kids tomorrow. They will not mind not having the cheese cake. I am sure that you will fix something just as delicious that they will all really like. You will have what he likes later and that will be just as good. Just have a good time with them. It will be so nice that you will be able to see them all.
It has been warm here. We were supposed to get some rain but all we had was thunder and lightening. No rain. That is so strange when it does that. All the rain went to other areas. They are getting the rain again where it flooded before. Those poor people are getting flash flooding again. Hope it does not hit the same businesses that it hit last time. They probably will not open again if it does. So we will not be able to go to my mom’s again until all the flooding is gone again. Maybe it will go right down again and not do as much damage.
I am glad that you found a place to eat. You did have a long wait. I did not know that people took their kids to lunch like that. They must have all decided to do it the same day. I hope that you had a good meal and it was worth waiting for. If you go there all the time though you know what the food will taste like. My brain is not working as well as it should tonight. So if I say something that is rude or weird please excuse. Too much news today.lol
I will try to go and see the baby this week. She is such a little doll. It is hard to stay away. I do not like to go if there will be a lot of people there anyway. They want to hold the baby and not let me hold her as much. lol How rude.
How nice of Marissa to come by and bring the donuts. She is such a good kid. Your grands always think about you and Gary and bring you good food. I guess because you always make good things for them. You are a good grandma.
Well that is about all from here have a good night.
