Today is a great day,  I have noticed that I have more energy and my pain has decrease somewhat.  I am getting more done and enjoying it more.  It must be the sunshine now I just have to figure out how to not let the bad weather affect me.  With my arthritis I do not think that will happen but miracles happen every day.  I done two loads of laundry and vacumned up and down stairs and that is quite the accomplishment.  Just doing one floor usually puts me down.  

My  amarylis is gotton so big I need to google it and see what I need to do to keep it alive.  I saw and neat plant stand for just this spot at TJ Max but alas it was too much for me to spend.

I keep turning my plants as they go to the light so I turn them around and I am quite sure they would say if they could talk.  "Hey I was enjoying that light now I have to start all over"  LOL.

We put new carpet in last summer and decided that we would not wear our shoes in the house at least not on the carpet.  So I had to figure out a plan for the man.  I bought a basket so he could put his shoes in and he has a chair to sit on.  Well this is the result.

How many shoes does one man need in a day?  Oh well I love him.  

I just have to show you my go to tool.  I use it for everything.  My hands have no grip in them so I use the plyers.  
It is such a beautiful day today I am off to take a walk.  See ya tomorrow I hope  

I just had to get out of the house today.  The sun felt so good so daughter #2 took the day off and we went to lunch and a movie.  The Movie was " 5 Steps Apart" and it is the story of two teens or a couple who have cistic Fribrosis (not sure of the spelling) and their fight for breath.  It was a real tear jerker ( two box tissue)  It was personal as we have had two friends with children with the disease.  One of them was a best friend of my oldest son and he passed away.  I will never forget the night my son went to the hospital to visit him one last time.  He came home in tears and asked me Mom how do you  get ready to die when you know it is going to happen?  We just cried a lot that night.  My next door neighbor's son also had the disease but he was diagnosed early and with new medications and trials he is doing really good.  He evern went on a misson to Mexico.  

Just wishing and praying for miracles all night and day.  I really wish this world would wake up.  Hubby and I were talking about the flood and Noah and he said well we don't need to worry about too much snow melting, God said he wouldn't destroy the world with water again.  I told him but it might get really wet.  

We are off tomorrow to shop for baby Hudsen William who was born Tuesday March 12.  He weighed 6 lbs and 5 oz.  I thought his mom said 5 lbs and 6 oz.  so I am a happy great grandma for that extra pound as he was early

This is my grandson's little family and Hudson is the new addition.  I told them they should have 12 kids because theymake such beautiful ones and the reply was  NO !!

Well please everyone keep praying the world turns around so our Lord is happier and people are too.  At least so they do not have to worry about getting shot when they are worshiping.  
Good night and have a great weekend. 

This is going to be a very short post.  Busy day but I must say the sun did shine and the snow did melt quite a bit.  I am so saddened by the New Zealand news.   My heart and prayers go out to the families who have lost loved ones.  I must say this world is in a termoil.  But we must keep our faith and endure till the end.  God bless all of you tonight and always. 

I am so glad I got to work in my yard yesterday because this is what it looks like today:

I didn't even want to go out to take a picture so I just stood at the door.  It sure makes a person wonder what is going on.  I feel so bad for the birds.  I put some food out but now the snow has covered it up  

I guess I will get working on my project that I just cannot get excited about.  It is a baby quilt.  My daughter bought some fat quarters and wanted me to make something out of them.  Well this is where I am at.  I do hope when I get it done it brings more excitement to me than it does right how.  

I wanted to show some of the cute thing that I won at the baby shower.  They were a door price for the person who brought the most diapers.  

It is a cute basket a key holder a water spritzer and a little plant.  

I was quite surprised that it all went together I thought she would give them out separately.

Well I can hear Mr shoveling for the third time today so I better get him a hot drink for when he gets done.  I hope the sun is shinning where you are.  

Where has the time gone.  We have been out of town so I have been away from my laptop.  I am not allowed to take it with me as I need time off of my techy tools.

Today was a really good day and I got out in the yard and cleaned (semi cleaned) some of my flowerbeds.  Pictures tomorrow if it does not snow again.  We are finally getting some better weather and I am so ready for it.  To night it is suppose to rain or snow but not stick thank goodness.

I have been busy with baby showers and babies.  I am so fortunate to be alive to see my great grandchildren.  We got anotherone today a boy his name is Hudson.  He came early but still made the 5 lbs that he needed to make.  Hope to show pictures soon.

Here are a few from the baby shower.  I cannot believe how they go all out these days.  I was lucky to have a few bottles and a crib when mine were born.  This little one will probably never use half of the stuff that was given to his parents for him.

This is the decor that they had.  I had made a quilt with a little fox for them and I guess they liked it.

This table was full of presents I only got a picture of a few as I arrived early and was done taking pictures when it got full.  And I mean full. 

Hedge Hog table center pieces

 I think this one was a monkey I am not sure

This one was a fox.


Fun was had by all and they did a really cute thing everyone ironed a decal on a onezy and that was neat she has got a lot of them for him and they did different sizes so he can grow into them.

I am looking forward to gardening this year.  I have been brousing through catalogs and I am thinking of redoing my whole flower garden area.  We will see.
Well I am resting my back as it is telling me I did too much today.  Everyone have a great evening.

I just check and I have seven followers I am so excited!!  I love communing with people all over and seeing what they up to.  I think as we get older sometimes we get forgotten by the younger crowd.  I have not joined Seniors yet due to the fact that the Seniors here in our town do not do a lot of fun things.  At least that is what the rumor is.  I will have to try it out.  They meet on Thursdays for lunch and then some entertainment after.  I will have to give it a try. 

Today is a no do hair day.  I curl my hair everyday and I decided that I do not want to do that everyday.  So solution HAT.  I pulled it back stuck on my hat and put my makeup on.  I felt great.  Off to the store I went to get stocked up on groceries cause it is suppose to rain really hard and we will have to have the drive blocked in case it floods.  With the ground frozen there is no where for the water to go and our drive way slants down into our garage.  I told DH that I wanted my car washed and his answer was when the rain starts I will pull it out of he garage. 

Here are my fur babies.  Abby is 15 and she is the white one.  That blanket was one I had for her when she first came home and she will not part with it.  Tug is the one above and he is a Pomeranian but I try too keep him short because I hate hair all over.  They keep me busy and bless my daughter she comes to groom them even though she closed her business quite a while ago. 

I have not gotten out to do my project yet today.  Changed sheets on the bed and now my back is killing me.  I never thought I would ever have so much back trouble.  Oh well it will quit someday.  I am quite sure.  I may be 6 feet under but at least I wont be in pain. 

Thanks everyone that checks out my blog.  I hope it interests you.  I love love checking out what everyone is up to and I love the scenery and pictures.  You are some amazing ladies out there.  I have gotten a lot of ideas and fun things from your blogs.  Thanks again  and talk to you tomorrow.  That is if I am not floating away.

Good Monday Dogs Groomed

Monday monday.  I did not get anything done today as it was dog groom day.  Tug and Abby needed it sooooo bad.  My Daughter Spring comes over to my house (when I can get her to) and does them up beautiful.  Pictures tomorrow.

How big is your laundry area?  Mine is like a hallway,  When we bought the house I didn't think that was a problem.  Then came four kids!  Well let me tell you it was a problem.  Now all the kiddos are gone but someone is not as thin as they used to be and so the problem changed but it is still a problem. 
I did not want to close off the one wall dur to all the water pipes would be covered up and I like having access to them.  So I improvised.  This year I had DH hang me some peg board to put baskets on so I could store some things.  It worked quite well but looking at it now I think it could be improved. 

We had to replace both my washer and dryer this year and I have to tell you I did not realize what a problem that would be..  The dryer that I had was one that the door came down in front and I could use to it unload and reload without any trouble.  New dryer door swings open so I have to stand against the wall, open the door and them come back around to load clothes in the dryer. 

I know small things but as I said before someone got a little bigger than they were and so the problem. 

We are suppose to get rain tomorrow so I had better get out and get my shopping done early.  When it rains for some reason my arthritis acts up more.  Well it is late and I need to get to bed so I can get an early start.  Hope all had a good day.

That was the shortest spring ever.  It is snowing again we have two inches so far and if it coninues through the night we will have more.  It has snowed all day but it was warmer earlier and so it did not stick now that it has cooled off it is sticking and so I hope the city did not put their plows out.

Today was a do nothing day.  My sister came for a visit and that was nice.  We do not live only 76 miles apart but both of us being busy we do not get together often.  The older I get the more we look alike.  When we were little we did not look anything alike but now we are starting to look almost like twins. 

I was going to get so much done today but the visit with sis was better than anything I could have done.  Going to make it an early night as the weather has me down.

Good weekend to all
