Since May 16th, 2010

So much has gone on in the last 2 week it be hard to know where to start.
May 16th my sister was in a house fire. She is in ICU in the Burn Unit at Vanderbilt Hospital Her house considered totaled by the ins.company.
She has 23% burns to her face neck and arms. She had been on a vent up until last night that is 12 days I believe. Today she was breathing on her own ( she has a tracheotomy) to be a temporary support.It is just taking a while for her to mend. So continue or add her to you prayer list.

Next my status change forever.
I am a Grandmother , that seems a little strange. So now am i that old enough, look like one or even act like one LOL yeah your right all of the possible mentioned. So what is one to look, act,age enough to be the such. It doesn't even matter , What matter is that I am and it is an amazing thing for you little one to have a little one. :) so let's see if I can get a new look at the new me.

May 14th 2010

Yea today is the start of my 2 week vacation. I had plans to visit the beach of Pensacola for 3 full days and to visit my first grandchild on her "birthday" . Well when you live with other people your life is not your own. My S/O use ALL of his vacation and sick time up on sick days and "other" vacation days thru the past several months ---- so it DEFINITELY affects me. SO Now I must cancel the blue skies and sand ,sun and relaxation of residing on the beach for 3 full days of doing nothing but reading,gazing and playing in the warm gulf water I hope I get my money back! If my actions would not affeCt anyone, I do what I wanted and just go on down, but as you know generally there are consequences that one lives with.
As usual I try the most to make the best of what is there. WE will be traveling to the gulf of Mexico visit and assist as needed with our daughter's need ,Her husband can not take off the usual 6 weeks and in the mist of it all she has to have SURGERY to get the baby out. Surgery is a simple word but is a stressful subject on the body. She is young and should do well. It does mean that all futures pregnancy will end up this way, LORD PLEASE TURN THAT BABY AROUND . With any surgery you have the risk of adhesions and that generally causes problems later on. I don't know why he Dr does not try to turn it around to avoid surgery. Almost 60 years ago babies were turn around at delivery time. Course Dr's probably were more like vets. They use what they had and rolled with it and generally did work well. My brother was turned at delivery he was breech. That was almost 60 yrs ago and no that not what wrong with him.
Oh on to greet this sunless day beginning, I sooooooooo need the sun!

Oh Happy Mothers Day!

I am hurt,shall I tell you why. My daughter and her hubs do not want me to visit when she goes to the hospital to have her first child ,which is our first grandchild. I find that very strange. Anyone would be thrill to have anyone come to say " oh she so cute," and esp you think you would want your family that could to come and visit.
Least that is what most people want. I sometimes wonder if this is my daughter, the excuse "well there is no sense in driving here for 8 hours for a 30 minute visit"
I not going to lie up in your bed an eat potato chips.
I went with a friend to visit a ex co worker at Summit Hospital. She was thrill that we came for a visit.She even let us both sit on her bed and even offer us chips. There are places to stay so not to intrude upon the privacy of a young family with a new baby.
All I can say is just wait and perhaps you will understand once you are a mother.I certianly hope you will, just a characteristic of being a mom. No wonder some mothers ignore their kids.
Happy Mother's Day for any of you mothers.

March 25,2010

Watching , well not really , Field of Dreams.It is on, the volume is off and I need to review BLS but falling asleep is what was happening while trying to do that. I really want some ice cream chocolate with raspberry sauce . I shall probably get some before going to bed. I am still working on the baby quilt for my first grand baby. We are planning a dinner/shower for Anna and John Friday the 2nd of April. They are coming here and will be staying with us. Short trip for them I wish it was longer. I am posting this picture just because I am trying to learn how to do so : but it is a sweet picture of my great niece with her uncle which is my nephew.
Talk later.Nancy

Addiction

I have become an addict to shopping at "Once Upon a Child"

I must say that is the most clever of most names for a child clothing store.
It is clothes that was once upon a child. :)
I should have created that.. ARGH
now it has Franchises probably in CHINA even!!!!
So my Granddaughter whatever her little name is is just going to be too cute even if she isn't cute. Ha!
I should be more creative,yeah I'll work on that.
For now, it's bedtime; I just needed to confess my addiction before I fall asleep ;>

Feb 8th,2010

I just notice that had written a post a year ago, the same day.
Today we had lunch at mom and dad's. Dannie our first cousin ask Geneva McKnight ( first cousin) to get it together; so she call mom and ask to see if we would come to dinner at mom and dad. Elizabeth and Eddie along with Carol,Nyla,Rita,Darlene and I went. Within the small kitchen area we all enjoyed a meal and just conversation. It was nice.

Later I was cooking and looked out the window and could not believe the ground was covered with SNOW! I wonder how much we will get. Since Abby dug in the dirt she is in not allow on the sofa as Belle and Teddy are enjoying Princess Diary 2. I hate to make her stay in the room where it is cold,dark and lonesome. She just needs a bath. It is not an easy task mostly because there are 3 dogs to wash.

for now, I need to see that snowfall. night!

A NEW YEAR "2010"

Happy New YEAR!!!!

Allowed OUT -I going to be a GRANDMA

So FiNaLly I can tell people
I Am going to be a grandma!

A Month Gone By

It is really not long before a month goes by.
Just tomorrow will be a month since I last made an entry.
Blogging so much like keeping a diary.
Just wonder if anyone much does that anymore?
My Dad does daily write on a large calendar of the day's
event. He has done it for years probably 50 yrs.
I remember when being young he would do it.
He feels it is important to do so. Yes he still reviews
past calendars to see what happened and when.

I really like to be more faithful in keeping a journal,
a blog or something.
What i really like to do is to teach a small sewing class
for kids. Kids that actually want to learn how to sew.
I Hope to do this,I have wanted to for a long time.
Something to think about something to work on doing.

It been a cloudy day, some rain, darkness is coming quickly
and it time to let the doggies out they have been napping
but I now hear Belle scratching and whining at the side door
( the garage room).

I need to do something , I need to sew, that is where feel
I am being productive.
I have plenty of projects,curtains that need making.
I like to make some elves;I just need some motivation
in doing this.

I also an a procrastinator I NEED and WANT to clean up that
GARAGE ROOM , where the doggies spend their nights and rainy
days. It need to be a room of productivity not a room to hoard
things and or JUNK in. A Christmas tree would be nice there...
I need days off and Sunshine and a will to get rid of stuff .

Vacation Day 3

Let's see what I can accomplish today.
Chat latter.

hello

When I retire.

AB7257 Vintage Embroidery Transfer Year Animal Quilt - eBay (item 220486035075 end time Oct-26-09 07:34:32 PDT)

Let's be friends

I sat out of August into Sept

I can not hardly believe that August has moved
right into September.
It is 15 minutes into the new month;
So I am going to bed .
I can sleep late tomorrow if I want,
you know me, my clock is
ticking early in the AM .
Welcome September

Never Give UP!

This is exactly what was under my bed this am. A little red band with the words Never Give Up. How appropriate , just what I needed , though so many times in the Bible we are told that, some how finding it today it made it was onto my left hand. My left hand, no particular reason, perhaps it used less than right, but when I look down I can see the words NEVER GIVE UP . It is a keeper!

I know so many things always need to be done, so MUST Muster the Movements to get a Moving if today i do in fact get something accomplished. It such a beautiful morning cool fells like 68 degrees with teh wind blowing, min fact it is 69 now in Navarre, 65 in Murfreesboro, 70 in New York, 77 in San Antonio,and 58 in Cupertino where every in the world that is I DON'T know. San ANtonio is to get 103 today so enjoy your 77 right now.

One thing I really want to do this week is go to the Wilson County Fair . Their Fairs, my understanding though I not ever been after 58 years of life, are TOP NOTCH. Why, becuase they put everything into it!
Banana DERBY is enough to make me want to go though i awant to before i ever here of this event, monkeys riding dogs in a ring , Monkeys are so funny anyway!

My neighbor is bush hogging he only like 87 yrs old! such a sweet man with a gentle spirit!
Well it's off to get a couple of things done today perhaps it be many since i do not need to give up .
My son has a job interview , he is very upbeat about it and prayfully it will be a opportunity that will be of much benefit to him.
I let you know more of this later.
Now to sign out and off of this tech. world of communication.

The Walls of Religion

The Walls of Religion need to be broken.
It bad when you can not talk or
show someone
how much you might care about them
because of these
ridiculous
walls of religion.

People are too easily offended.

The Bible is plain and we as people make it complex.
In the book The Shack,
the discussion of God and his relationship with his
children is simple. It is the institutions that tear
people,family, friends and others apart.

One day God will break down all walls;
until then they will just be something to block
friendship and fellowship,and we

stumble and fall and get up again.

May we always have God holding our hand and not let go.
And when we do, may we have courage and strength to
reach again for His hand. Amen.

Totally Crazy!

It is JULY 16 th!!!!!
this favorite month is almost gone! Why favorite?
Well the many of the most important people I love
are born in this month. Mom first of all then course
i have to love myself they say
or you can not love anyone else!
I really ment to make a note on my B Day
but did not that how fast and perhaps furious this month
is going!
It is half gone! It just started and I am a YEAR older!!!!

Enough of all the !!!!!

I really need to make a trip to the town west of me ,
to drop off my rx for new specks, that is what the older
generation calls them and sense, I am older, I guess it time
to call them their proper name!!
Whatever!~!
well we see what i get done today!

later gator!

Oh and that slogan was around a lot
longer than the team in what
? FLORIDA Or Alabama

July 1 st

Well it is about time I made a new entry. Ha since it been 20 days ago. I so wish sometime that a day was a week and then i could get a lot more done on my days off and the days I took vacation. As it stands I have not hardly made a path to walk in. I am planting flowers that have been yearning for the ground since probably the first of May what a shame, sorry flowers that your sibling flowers are growing so beautiful and you are so confined to your container. Today is the day the Weather Vane Almanac says I can plant and you will thrive, so hopefully with miracle grow and plenty of water you will catch up in your growth. Time to plant the seeds also today and tomorrow.(well actually it says that is is favorable for planting peas,tomatoes, and other fall crops bearing above ground. sow grain and forage crops,whatever that is.)so I am taking the risk and planting and transplant, otherwise the gonna die anyway . hopefully the moon is in the right place (phase)
Tomorrow is a big day . Mom Birthday she be 88 years old. We the daughters are having a QUEEN for The Day Celebration. Just her daughters and her. So in all due respect i musst close and continue with the transplanting of flowers and then on to town to ppick out a card and whatever else I need.

It is also my son and his wife's 4th Anniversary. I need to find something special for the two of them also. That is why I need more time in a day.
hopefully I can post some photos later. In case some mignt want to see them. :)

totally wasted!
