Monday is the big day, that is when I go back to work, I have been very spoiled being home for 8 weeks. My pups have been too, they have been enjoying sleeping in and getting to play outside all day, Well pups this is about to come to big end, we hope to put a doggie door in and a new gate to our fence, so they will be able to go and come, while we are all at work. Tuesday is also a big day, it is my Birthday, and also my cousins birthday, we share the same day and month and were born a year apart and two hours from each other. it is a joke in the family that I was born on her birthday, but in reality, she was born on mine, LOL. In our family we have four birthdays during the month of April, two daughters, me and my husband. One of my daughters will be celebrating her big 30 birthday, and we are trying to set up something for her that will be a day to remember. Our family is aging so fast, I often think back of when my kids were little and that seems only yesterday, so all you mothers who have little children better hold on to each and every moment you have with your children before you know it, they will grown and out on their own. Well enough of remembering the past. May you all have a blessed day.

Blogging with Betsy

A great big THANK YOU to my daughter making my blog more interesting and picturesque, I love it and was so excited to get two comments. How Fun. Today is a raining day and pretty much an inside day. My pups are not too keen on the weather but will tolerate it. It makes for a nice day for lazying around. When this week is finished I also am finished being a stuck home person, I will resume work and be back into the work force of everyday living. I have loved being home and have gotten a lot done, when my doctor allowed it. So I guess i am ready to return to the job. Well many thanks my dear daughter for bringing my blog upto date and making it nice to come too. I next will learn to put pictures on my blog. LOL.

A GOOD VISIT Yesterday afternoon, my daughter in law from Mississippi popped in for a night stay with her sister and two friends. It was so good to see her and get to spend time with them, we took them to eat with other members of the family and enjoyed a time of fun and fellowship. They departed the next morning at 530 am and yes Mom got up and saw them off. And then went back to bed LOL They arrived safely and I hope they enjoy their stay and know that my door is always open to them, at any time. This evening my husband and I went to our granddaughters baseball game, her brother also plays ball, but thankfully on another night. They are both good players and remind me of the day when their Dad was playing baseball and we went to all his games. Love being a grandma on the side lines.

Well, two more weeks and I am back into the grind of daily work schedule, I am getting ready to return, but it is going to tough since I will have been home for 8 weeks, my poor pups will have a rude awakening, being left alone all day, they are use to having me home and enjoying the time.

My sweet husband returned home Saturday from a trip to Africa, it is so good to have him home again, but the time changes are hard, his body is still on the african time, and being back in the states it will take him a few days to get back to normal.

I thank all my friends and family for constant care I received while recovering from knee surgery. i covet your continued prayers for these next two weeks and when I finally return to work. i have become very lazy and love being able to relax, but am looking forward to getting back to work.

Wel may you all have a blessed day. Again thank you for all your continued prayers

Oh today was a wonderful day, i drove for the first time in 6 weeks, and what a thrill altho scarey a little bit. But it is now wonderful knowing I can easily drive and i guess it is like an old saying "you never forget how to ride a bike, nor do you forget to how to drive. For the next two weeks at home it is a good feeling to know that I can get in my car and GO. HOORAY!!!!
Well I guess the homebound lady is not homebound anymore, Yea, I love being able to drive again, but also I am so grateful to my children and many friends who were willing to come and get me and take places, and be there for me. Thanks to all.

I am continuing to do better each day. And for that I am thankful and giving all the glory to my God. Take care all - more later God bless.

Yesterday, Saturday, March 12, my daughter Dabney and I surprised Carrie and her family in their town with a visit, I have not been able to travel more than to the doctor or around town, it was so good to see her and the grand kids, and it was good to travel further than panama city. We had such a good time, my youngest daughter and her husband were also there, and we all had lunch at the Wingstop which is Matt's favorite place to eat. It was a good visit, to see my grandchildren, and see how much they are growing and maturing in fine young men and women. Of course Grandma, Dabney and Carrie and Ansley and William went to our favorite store, Target and purchase some items, of course toys for William,and Ansley.Brian and Olivia (which were asleep at home)also received gifts. We did not leave them out. Of course Grandmas also spoil their grandchildren. That is so much fun. Brian is doing well at the moment but will being his chemo over again which is more intense for Carrie and Fred. Pray for them and for Brian and his siblings. I so enjoyed the trip but was exhausted when I returned home but the exhaustion was worth it all, I enjoyed seeing everyone. Well that is all for now, take care. God bless.

Today is Friday, March 11th and I am still home bound, with the exception of my daughters getting me out to enjoy a ride somewhere. I am doing so well with my knee surgery, that I am thrilled to say in one week I can get rid of my cane, and walk on my own, which secretly I am already doing in my house, already. UH OH !!, Feels good to walk without a cane, but am still
a little nervous about getting out w/o it. Time will come, and each day I am better and better.

It is only through the prayers of my brothers and sisters in Christ, that I have done so well. My only regret is that I should have not waited for 5 years to do something about my bad arthritic knee. PTL it is over and I am on the road to recovery. I received good news I can drive in two to three weeks again and will be going back to work on April 4th oohrah!!!

Well on another note, please continue to pray for my precious Brian, my daughter found out
yesterday at his doctors appointment they are beginning all over with Brian from Square 1 and start chemo and steroids once again. and doing them for 1 full year. Please pray for my daughter and her family as this is big set back for them. Pray for Brian for strength and to be free from any infections. Pray for well siblings as well for Brian to remain well also.

God is so good, and he has not left us yet, he is still in control each and every day we still our prayers being answered and feel his present. I lift them up to you. Thanks.

Our little newest grandson is growing within his mother womb and to know in just a few months we will meet our little caleb and welcome him into this world. Continue to pray also for Jess and Caleb and Matt. God bless.
