NDE Anniversary!!!

Today is the one year anniversary of my latest NDE (near death experience). I remember it so well, because it was my nephew's wedding.


Happy Anniversary Brent & Andrea.

Mostly I am known for my singing, dancing and my sense of humor. :} This last extra year has been a blessing beyond measure. I couldn't even begin to tell you of each special moment. I do know one thing though, that life is wonderful.
When I realized today that if I could do anything I wanted to do, I would do just what I am doing, I really don't need anything material or wish I was somewhere on a island etc. This was a beautiful day. It was raining and I feel peaceful. I am surrounded by loved ones and have everything I need. One day at a time!!! Today I could look back without regrets and look ahead with hope. For this I thank GOD!!!

I love you. If you are reading this you are one of my favorite people in the world. You mean the world to me.
XOXOXOXOXO

HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!!

Campfire fun!!!

Cory's birthday party!!!

YUMMY!!!

I had an interesting night this last week. First I fell in the living room and jerked my back out of synch. Then later that night I took the wrong insulin at bedtime. Yes, I took 5 times as much of one kind than I was supposed to. I got to sit up all night long (until 9AM) and take my blood glucose every 1/2 hour and drink 8 ounces of OJ and eat marshmellows when it would get to low. The nurse and Dr on call would call me every so often to see if I was still awake. I bet I don't do that again.

Just a Swinging!!!!

Here's one that we never thought of. Roz and her cousin Krystal took blankets and are spinning around in them. I was amazed at how fun it looked, but then Mom caught a glimpse and made them take the blankets in.

Decades of fun with the swing set. Years ago someone asked me what my favorite material posession was and I had to answer my swing set. My Dad made it for Rhonda and Rick and soooo many memories are being made. COME ON OVER AND SWING WITH THE BEST!!!!

Our new kitchen!

Even the little ones got in on the work.

Our home was built in 1910 and is a big ole farm house. The city grew up around us and we are now in the middle of apt buildings and parking lots.

Our kitchen needed an update (big time) so one Saturday in July my family and a few friends came and put down a new floor. Awesome!!!

Kyla painted the cupboards and Rhonda, Llyle, and Sherrie painted the walls. I just love it. It looks like a kitchen from the 1940's.

One of my favorite things!

Weeping willows are soothing to me. The way they sway in the wind reminds me of summer breezes when I was a child. Before A/C we waited for the breeze to cool off in the hot humid summer time. Then when the much needed rain came it was even better. I remember getting to run out in the rain and check the rain gauge. I still like to hear the rain and a good (not damaging) thunder storm.

Isn't it great that good memories make us feel cozy and can take us back in time to safer days?

Girls Just Wanna Have Fun!!!

Aunt Rita (Montana), Justin (groom),
Me (Grandma), & Aunt Mary (Indiana)

After giving it some thought I realized that it is Great Aunt Rita and
Great Aunt Mary.

Always Kiss Me Goodnight!!!

Just about the sweetest kiss I have ever seen.

THIS IS THE DAY THAT THE LORD HAS MADE!!!!!

Today my Grandson JUSTIN gets married. I am so happy for him. More to follow.

Flat Stanley and Roz (for Ryan)

Roz wanted Ryan to see that Flat Stanley has been doing some fun things with her. This is her new bike. They have had some fun this summer. Grandpa likes to play with the them both.
We are waiting for the wedding that is coming up and seeing everyone that can make it.

July

This was to be the best blog ever. SIGH!!! I can't remember how to bring pictures up. I need Rhonda to help me, again.
She's busy lately (wedding etc), so I will try again tomorrow.
Sometimes things look better when I am rested.
Good month though. Pictures to follow.

Didn't want my following of one (1) to give up on me. I have things to share. There is more to me than my dancing and singing. :)

NEWS ALERT

Is anybody out there?

Soon coming to your area.

Return of Jeani's blog!!!

Age old use for pots and pans!!!!!

Grandson Caden

Great Nephew Spence

I am the proud owner of a new 10 piece set of pots and pans. I think the very first NEW set I have ever owned. Although they look good and help make meals they are just pots and pans.

Neither of these pictures are at my house but I am in total agreement with the age old use of these fine kitchen utensils.

Aren't they sweet?

For Rhonda!!!

When I saw this picture I had to closely examine it. I thought oh my goodness it looks like someone I love being born. You can see the connection. Can't you? MOM

change of socks

This is a news flash!!!
Last Friday night I wore a pair of
red socks. I didn't feel weird or anything just bright and bold. I also wore a bra. I haven't had one
on for a long time now. When you don't go anywhere it doesn't seem like you need one. : )
Spring is coming I can feel it in my bones. I wish!!
