We can't help everyone, but everyone can help someone. --Ronald Reagan

Hello!
Where does the time go!?

 

I've been for my 2 week check up.

Stitches are out, just butterfly tape & the rod still in my toe;

 I can't get it wet.

My friends think because of rust; we had a good laugh!

 

Easter card I made.

I'll show it to you so you can get on with your life!

 Just a simple one cause postage is unreal these days!

 

Look what I saw last week in the trees!

 

Then he left!

 

 

And Vanessa & I saw this on our way to feed the cats & Shadow one night!

 

 

 

 

Up and Over!

No biggie!
 




 

 

Here's his momma waiting!

 

 

Just gonna check us out for another minute!

The kids & I went to Peace River on Saturday!

They bought a dining room table & chairs (& bench)!

It`s lovely.....

I put my 2 bits in, and they did really well!

You know; the leaf should store in the table, cause you never have a place for it, it gets dinged up cause you`re always moving it etc.!

Tiny kitchen, get a bench that can sit under the table & pull it out for company.

The usual 'momisms'!

 

We went in my van and the low tire pressure light came on.

I said, "We need to get to a tire shop. If that comes on when I'm driving I have a flat tire"!

Sure enough, big bolt in the drivers side front.

Vanessa's boyfriend told the nice people at the tire shop; just put a nut on it & we're good to go!

I got new tires!

 

Had a crown come off (same tooth second time).

Dentist yesterday.

My options are:

Root canal & crown $2000.00-$2500.00

Implant & crown $5000.00-$7000.00

or we can pull it................

I'm going back for a cleaning on April 1st, I'll decide then!

 

 My GF who bought a house in Arizona is moving there in May.

She asked me to go on a road trip with her!

Can you say Thelma & Louise!?

Okay, maybe not, but I'm excited!

It'll be an adventure!

 

Better go.

Wine night Wednesday (with Vanessas friend) has been moved to tonight!

I'm going to trot down the street with the bottle shortly!

Sarah passed her CAIB test.

 

 

I took my life in my hands yesterday when I trotted down the alley to Vanessas!

I could have skated, and I had to text her when I got home...

she's 3 doors down!

 

Hope you're all well!

Talk to ya later!

Hello peeps!

I've missed you!

Things are going swimmingly!

I made a card!

Actually, I've been making it for a while, and just finished it today!

 

I got the inspiration over here!

Alrighty, I shamelessly copied it outright, with what I had!!!

 

Surgery went all right I guess....

no one said otherwise!

I go to GP on Thursday, cause my surgeon likes to take out his own sutures! There will be questions!

I have stylish footwear!

 

 

I dug out an old croc to put me sorta on the same level....NOT!

 

It's shaped like that to keep pressure off my toes,

it's hard on my right knee & hip.

I have a rod through one toe, and my foot turned a lovely shade of purple last Tuesday!

I could show you pictures, but it would gross you out!!!!

 

The kids have gone shopping in PR.

They asked if I wanted to go, and I said "sure; I can ride one of those scooters at Walmart!"

I didn't even get that all the way out of my mouth before there was a resounding NO!

Hahaha!

 

Anyhoo, they're making supper when they come back, so I made dessert.

 

Sour Cream Apple Pie!!!

 

 In other news, my foot doesn't hurt....
been off the painkillers since about Tuesday.
It's just uncomfortable.

Ray's surgery (hip replacement) was the day before mine,
February 19.
He's recovering at the lodge in town.
He ended up at the hospital on Friday night with swelling, but I'm putting it down to poor circulation, because he didn't have his chair pad, that lifts him up about 6 inches.

I've been to the movies, it's great to have pull!
They found me a stool to put my foot up on; I kicked off both boots, got comfy, and didn't move!!!
I've been to a purse party, Vanessa's friends for a fashion show, and even participated (1/2 a glass of wine) in Happy Hour at work on Friday!
Yup, I've been at work...........
I put my foot up under my desk.
People yell at me to 'sit down', and 'why don't you holler instead of getting up'............it's wonderful!
I'd probably go nuts at home.

I missed my naps on Thursday & Friday,
so I slept most of yesterday!
I only felt a little guilty!
I DID do a couple loads of laundry & the dishes before succumbing to the couch!
I hear it calling my name right now!

Talk to ya later!
Hope you're all well!
