Well, I guess I spoke to soon about hoping things were taking a turn for the better for Kevin. We have made many more trips to the ER, DR's., and finally a specialist. We are finally getting answers and soon, hopefully with surgery he will be ok. He was fighting UTI's and yeast infections Brendahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03726077104854940850noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8590207114399923020.post-50561261192232092062012-01-10T23:07:00.000-05:002012-01-10T23:07:06.912-05:00Changes are Coming....I will be starting to make a lot of changes on my blog in the near future.
Kevin has been very ill and almost died last April.. It has been a long recuperation period with a lot of set backs. We've made more trips to the ER and Dr. than I can keep track of. I will post more on what has been happening over the next few days.
I hope to have things changed and be back to blogging Brendahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03726077104854940850noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8590207114399923020.post-25292089769546485392011-04-24T23:10:00.000-04:002011-04-24T23:10:41.592-04:00Happy Easter Friends
I hope you all had a wonderful and Blessed Easter. I just got my computer running again. I was working on this post earlier and my computer died...nothing worked. I disconnected everything , even took the battery out and after all of that I tried it again and I'M BACK..... I was getting frantic because I have so much info stored on here. I think I will start backing things up Brendahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03726077104854940850noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8590207114399923020.post-40469784332879639982011-03-13T22:39:00.000-04:002011-03-13T22:39:02.667-04:00I've been missing again......I have to admit I've been spending way too much time on Face Book again. I wish I could stay away from there, I waste too much time on it. I've got a million other things I could and should be doing.
We have everything unpacked and in its place now from the move. I sure am glad that is all done. I don't think my back will ever be the same though. I've been having a lot of problems with my back Brendahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03726077104854940850noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8590207114399923020.post-70422899429061023992011-01-19T23:08:00.000-05:002011-01-19T23:08:19.383-05:00Not feeling to goodthe last couple of days. I think that flu bug is trying to invade our space. My aunt and uncle were supposed to come today for a visit, they are both in their 80's, and I called and told them I was sick . They decided to stay home for now. I think they made the right decision. I would hate for them to get sick at their age!

Got a lot done today. All of the books are unpacked and on shelves. I have way too many books. I got my side of the office/craft/sewing room done, finally. I'm going to try to get my shelves up that hold my nic-nacs tomorrow. I hope to get some of them on the shelves if I can.
My aunt and uncle are coming to visit Wednesday, so I want to get as much finished as I can.

I hope all of your dreams and wishes for the New Year come to be!!
I know I'm late in saying this but we were moving over the holidays. I'm so glad the move is over and will be even happier when everything is in its place. The main rooms are pretty well done, the office/sewing/craft room still needs some work. I do have my sewing machines set up now, still have to do some work on my Brendahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03726077104854940850noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8590207114399923020.post-47854831528953334662010-12-17T21:29:00.000-05:002010-12-17T21:29:26.256-05:00Moving Day ..........
.......is Dec. 21 for the boxes of stuff and Dec. 22, the furniture moves over. I'm praying that we don't have a lot of snow those days. We don't have far to go it's just the idea of having to take everything out in the snow. I will be so relieved when this move is over. I'm getting too old for this stuff. The one nice thing about the apartment is that it is priced so if something happensBrendahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03726077104854940850noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8590207114399923020.post-69266968666036792142010-12-09T22:37:00.000-05:002010-12-09T22:37:01.035-05:00We're Moving!!!!!!!
MERRY CHRISTMAS
It has been way too long since I was here last. We have been waiting about 6 months for an apartment that has a walk-in shower for safety reasons. We found out towards the end of October that an apartment would be available soon. I started packing things up because I knew it would take me a while.The older I get, the slower I get!!!

Today was such a beautiful , warm fall day. I wish we could have a month full of days like today!! I know that's not likely to happen though. We'll wake up one of these mornings and will see snow on the ground! .......hopefully not for a long time yet!!!
I gave away a bunch of things on Free Cycle today.

I did just that with my Olympus Camera. I've had it about 15 years and it's had a lot of use but still took good pictures. I use it for back up now because it is a little on the heavy side and my hands shake when I'm trying to focus on a picture.

Good Evening Friends,
I hope you are all well and happy!!!
My Live Forever/Sedum plant was covered with butterflies a week or so ago. I just thought I would share a few pictures with you. The plant was huge this year. I'm planning on separating it when it dies down some in the next couple of weeks. This is the first year it has had butterflies like this on it.

She is my dads only living sister, she's 84 and the last of the 4 kids. My dad was the 1st to pass on to a better place in 1971....3 weeks before I graduated from high school. They come down 3 or 4 times a year and always try to make 1 visit close to my birthday, which is tomorrow. She brought an Apple Dump Cake she made, so good! and Brendahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03726077104854940850noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8590207114399923020.post-30586189422916250032010-09-08T22:22:00.003-04:002010-09-08T23:09:36.853-04:00Today was Beautiful........The sun was shining bright and the temps were in the 70's, a little breeze blowin'!

It has been a very long day following a very short 4 hours sleep last night. I'm getting to old for this. Kevin has an 8:15 appt. for physical therapy in the morning. He is losing what little mobility he has in the leg that he broke the femur in 4 years ago. I don't think there is anything that can be done at this point, but we will see and hope for the best.

The time goes by fast though when you are making all of the gifts by hand, computer or sewing machine!

The sun was shining bright, not to hot, I could enjoy days like today year round! Makes it kind of hard to stay inside and work though. I did finish a blouse I started yesterday. I will post pictures if I can get my camera to work again.

Thank you Lord. I was glad to hear that. I had tried to be careful with what I was doing, not lifting too much etc. , but I felt so good it was easy to forget I had even had surgery.
