Summer is gone, Fall has gone by the way side and now. BRRRRR

It is hard for me to realize that we are now in November. Looking forward to next week when Eric, Erika, Alex, Sarah and Levi will be coming to share the big turkey with us. Levi is almost two months old and Sarah will be celebrating her birthday with us. Actually Bayli and Sarah will share a big #2 with our Bayli 's big #3. I guess the slower I go the faster times goes on. It never ceases to amaze me of all the wonders of each new day. My grandones are such a joy to me. I love watching each of them and hearing them laugh and cry and just enjoying their life.
I do have a lot of pictures to post. Really almost a years worth. Can't believe that I have not downloadedmy pics. Come back and perhaps by then I will have the pictures on the computer. Love u ya'll

Can't believe it is August 2010

It has been an interesting summer. I think I actually skipped over most of it. It seems my focus was on July 20, 2010 and the left TKR and yes it is just as painful as I remember the right TKR. It is getting better each day , but still keeps me from doing what I would like to do.

I am hoping to have a much speeder recovery as we are planning on a visit to the E's in September to welcome the newest little guy. We get to spend time with Alex and Sarah while Erika is recovering from the new arrival. We are so looking forward to that time.
It has been a fun summer having special moments with Heidi and her girls. Just doesn't seem like it was enough time. But,, it has been fun when it was happening.

Special Thank you to those who made it possible

Here I am again after a break away time. I just want to say thank you to all those who made it possible for this nation to celebrate the 4th of July one more year. The way this Nation is going who is to say we will be be able to celebrate in the future.

We had a grand day with BBQ at Heidi's with family and friends. Just about the time for the big fireworks to begin a storm moved in with very big hail stones. We did not justain any damage but areas around us were hit pretty hard with broken car windows, house windows, roofs, and broken trees and shrubs. I don't even want to think about all the gardens that were doing so well and got beaten into the ground.

With July comes all the pre-op appointments for the TKR on the left knee. I am prepared for it, but not looking forward to the recover. After the recovery I am sure I will be glad I did it. I must keep moving along as I have so much to get done before the surgery.

Father's Day June 20 2010

After a wonderful Father's Day Church Sacrament Meeting and then home for a Father's Day Dinner per request of the great Dad that resides at this house. Typical Sunday roast with the usual trimmings of potatoes,carrots, celery, onions, garlic etc. Lemon pie and watermelon. Everything turned out to be a really good dinner. Even the vggie terrors seem to enjoy the chicken enchilidas in place of the roast. All the grandones and Heidi, Mike and Shirl went to the park playground and had a fun time with the the girls while I rested on the chaise lounge on the back patio. When they returned through the back gate, I mentioned that it would be a good project to put together a patio swing and it was suppose to be very simple. NOT! sure enough the dads decided that they could do it in a matter of a few minutes. It turned out to be a little more complicated than anticipated and I felt bad they had to put all the little parts together. They actually had it finished in about an hour. Pretty amazing.

Everyone had to take a turn setting in the new swing and it is really comfortable . Thank my SH and Mike for your hard work . I am sure we will enjoy it all summer. It's great to have such great Dad's to celebrate with on their special day.

WooHa! I am found.

For some reason part of the name had just dropped out. Thanks to all who let me know I was not lost. We had a couple of really cool days and now we are back to summer. I am still working on my stripping paint and sanding the little table that once belonged to my grandmother. It is a hand carved table it had some rough spots, after I removed the gunky black paint I found some very interesting wood. I am excited to get it finished. My SH has been working on trying to get grass to grow on some bare spots in the lawn. Yesterday he mowed and it looks pretty good. Oops! he said it looks great and tht is what I should say. Okay , it looks great. Now for some summer lawn food to green it up.

Help! My blog is lost in. I do not exist. ???????

Well, now this is interesting. The Stewarts by the sea has disappeared and so has The Stewarts by Pikes Peak now what do I do?
