The Big Day!!!

2010-08-21T19:24:00.000-07:00

Here are a few pictures Llyle took at Joel's & Chelsea's wedding. It was so sweet & loving. I couldn't be any prouder of my granchildren than I am. They all are such sweethearts. (Even the ones that couldn't make it). Big storm went thru about 1/2 hour before outside wedding. So, the wedding was inside at Rotary Gardens. Just as beautiful & air conditioned. YES!!! I will talk to everyone later but her is a sneek peek.

Sweet memories

2010-05-24T19:15:00.000-07:00

See the ashtray on sink?

Here is some pictures of Roz after dance recital last Saturday. I saw real dance potential in her. Maybe she will bring one of her outfits and dance for you. The songs are all on the internet.

The remodeled bathroom at Mom's. Just got it finished to tear down house. I liked the old one better.

They did the kitchen over too. Sorry the pictures are all mixed up. I haven't posted in 6 months and had to figure it all out again.

2 leaves also.

I love the table legs. I remember playing under them with you, Rita. We could keep Rhonda busy for about an hour with a dust rag. She would dust and shine up those legs.

Llyle & Marlene both thought it would be easy to refinish them.

I will check on shipping rates here. Llyle took measurements too.

Love you all!!!!!

For Roger

ZZZZZZ

2009-09-28T23:24:00.000-07:00

It happened today. I fell asleep at the computer. Never happened before. I was really surprised to open my eyes and see where I was.

New Family Member

2009-09-24T18:40:00.000-07:00

My new grandog. Isn't she pretty. She is a Pom and her name is Gracie. Not quite sure if the spelling is right.

She is keeping Emily young. They play and roll around.

Roz and family are loving her. She came over tonight for her first visit.

Hello in There

The Last 10 Days

2009-09-12T19:58:00.000-07:00

This is me for the last
10 days!! I have a UTI and have been setting at the computer playing games for a week now.
I have so much other good stuff to share but this is it for now.

This is the perfect set-up. Now, if the seat reclines and there was a cup holder for my water, it would be perfect. One stop living.

One in a Million Friend!!!

2009-09-02T00:04:00.000-07:00

What a nice surprise!!! My friend Rosemary gave me a call. She is one of those friends that

gives me a lift and we have some good laughs. Well, tonight was no different. She is one of the 2 friends that I still have contact with from my LaLa Land days. People have told me I should write a story of my life. There would be some really good chapters in that book about me and Rose. Just thinking about some of them make me SMILE!!!

Congrats on your anniversary Rose!!!

OH I Just Love Your Purse

2009-08-26T22:51:00.000-07:00

My sister Rita has a thing for purses. Almost every purse I have ever owned I received from her or my Mom. This beauty was purchased at a garage sale about 5 years ago. I paid .50 for it.

I thought it would be good to store thread, needles, etc. That is what I used it for for a long time.

Then Amy saw it and said she really like it. I took a second look and decided I did too. I have never gotten so many comments on my purse. From nurses, Dr (female), checkout clerks, friends, neighbors etc. Rick asked me if that hay thing was my purse. Silly guy!!!

It is almost Labor Day and I know it isn't white but I will probably put it away for fall and winter.

ONE DAY AT A TIME!!!!

AUGUST 22, 2009 BIG DAY

2009-08-22T22:36:00.000-07:00

JOHN & DONNA BOMKAMP 50th Wedding Anniversary! Great party and it was great to see the whole family again.

Grandpa took Roz for another water ski lesson. As you can see, she loves it.

Then tonight we went to see Lex in a show. As always she was terrific.

And the entire day it is Rita's 60th Birthday. WOW

ROZ Water Skiing

2009-08-17T20:14:00.000-07:00

She loved it. Grandpa took her down to Rock Aqua Jays clinic to learn how to water ski. 2 more Saturdays to go.

Garage Sale Tale

2009-08-13T01:18:00.000-07:00

It's me. I've fallen and I can't get up. Good thing I have angels watching over me. A CNA stopped and helped me. Bloody nose and all. I am up in the middle of the night because I ache all over.
Jared and Roz are a good team to go rummaging with. We had a good time even after my fall.

HUGGIN' COUSINS

2009-08-03T19:42:00.000-07:00

Last week Kyla and the kids went back to NC. It was such a blessing to have them around for 6 weeks this summer. They are growing up so fast. This is Roz and Hanna saying goodbye. This summer we found out that Kyla's mother in-law and Roz's best friend's father are cousins. So that makes Hanna and Anna cousins and then they decided if Hanna and Roz are cousins then they are now also cousins. Is there such a thing as step-cousins. : )

MY LUCKY DAY

2009-07-27T22:39:00.001-07:00

I (actually Llyle) found the missing one and I received the new one in the mail. It was in a very logical place. My finding skills are fading also. I remember thinking my Mom could find anything.

She was good!!!

MY HERO

2009-07-21T22:06:00.000-07:00

New card in the mail in 3 to 5 business days. I know it is in this house somewhere. But, to be safe I cancelled it and I am getting a new number. Isn't he a sweetheart to do this? I sure think so.

Monday Night Fun

2009-07-20T14:33:00.001-07:00

This is me tonight when I look for my credit card I think I threw away in the trash. Gross!!! It seems that I have been going through our garbage on a regular basis lately. The more organized I try to be the harder it is to find things. I'll let you know if I find it. If I don't I will need to call and get a new number etc. It has to be in this house somewhere.

My goal in life

2009-07-15T11:42:00.000-07:00

2009-07-12T00:06:00.000-07:00

I'm feeling so much better that anytime now this will be me and Grandpa.

Depression

2009-07-08T21:59:00.001-07:00

This is how I have been feeling. For about 6 months everything was black. I would drag myself out of bed and face the day. Ugh!!! Then I noticed that even some of my favorite people and places didn't make me feel any better. First I thought it was the winter and I don't go out much when it is -30.

But it kept getting darker and darker.

I finally realized I needed to talk to my Dr abouth this. Two weeks ago I went and was put on an antidepressant. I cannot begin to tell you the difference this has made in me. Oh my, I'm back to living one day at a time.

2009-07-03T23:33:00.000-07:00

Have a safe 4th of July!!!

Christmas in June!!!

2009-06-29T21:53:00.001-07:00

Roz went to a garage sale down the street and bought me this
beautiful Barbie Christmas Tree. Just what I always wanted. I will cherish it forever. Hey, it might just be our tree for 2009. Sweet!!!

Not my Style

2009-06-24T16:36:00.000-07:00

Isn't this the tablecloth we saw in Madison today?

Comments from My Heart

2009-06-16T00:30:00.000-07:00

The jokes about Willow were not funny. Finally, it seems like there is a limit. I heard him apologize in a much more sincere way on tonight's show.

Next Issue

I don't think a movie about an alcoholic blackout is funny either.
Have you ever had one?. Walk around sing, dance, drive, have sex and be totally unaware of it. Never to regain the memory.
Well, I have and they are not funny.
Thank God for AA and recovery.

I think it is about time I spoke up on what I believe in.

Thanks for loving me.

2009-06-01T22:28:00.000-07:00

Llyle took some days of vacation and came home with this turkey. He is sooo happy!! I guess he is going to have it smoked. I'll let you know how it goes. Many hours and miles went into this catch. A lot of turkey scounting for 2 months now. Now he must wait until next year to do it again.
But, the boat is ready to go.

Amazing Friend

2009-05-22T23:42:00.001-07:00

This is one amazing man. He woke up one morning about 5 weeks ago paralyzed. A disc slipped in his neck and he was rushed to the hospital. It was a miracle that the ONLY Doctor that worked with this kind of injury was there. She was to leave the day before to a new assignment. But, she
was still there. After surgery Chuck was taken to the VA Hospital in Madison for a few weeks. He is up walking around and has a good attitude. This same Dr has told him that 99% of people with this kind of injury never get out of a wheelchair. His fancy necklace is a device that vibrates and
helps blend the rods in his neck to the bone. He must wear it for at least 4 hours a day.
Please pray for him and his family. He needs to heal for at least a year. If he falls or has something else happen that is the end of his recovery. One shot at this surgery is all you get.
I am so impressed with his good attitude.

Beautiful Spring Day!

2009-05-18T19:30:00.000-07:00

Roz and Grandpa fishing.

White Lipstick

2009-05-13T21:25:00.000-07:00

On Mother's Day we had a conversation around the kitchen table about white lipstick. It was the look to have in the 60's. I loved it!!!

The sequel to Hair Spray will be

Hair Spray 2: White Lipstick .

Check it out.

A Good Day for Dancing!!!!

2009-04-04T14:49:00.000-07:00

I found this picture of me on my new friend's blog. Check it out here!!
Some of you were wondering about Circle City.
This is so you will recognize me and not the girl in the Sears ad. LOL

CIRCLE CITY

2009-03-31T22:02:00.001-07:00

I was taking a nap and the thought came to me that Circle City sounds very much like Circuit City. They are both round too.

I don't want any of us to get lost.

So, please remember it is CIRCLE CITY. See you there.

2009-03-30T19:35:00.000-07:00

Update on my bathrobe: Here is a much better picture of my bathrobe. Makes me feel glamorous.

CIRCLE CITY

2009-03-28T20:53:00.000-07:00

This is the bathrobe I will have on when you stop over to my house in Circle City. It is chenille and just lovely. I found it in the Sears catalog of 1944. Pink or Blue for ONLY 4.98. I will take orders. They might be on back order. Lately it seems everything I order is. ;-)

Cute house!!!

2009-03-26T21:03:00.001-07:00

Isn't this a darling little house. I have been looking on Ebay for old catalogs. These came up for Sears Homes. Look at the price. I'll have a few. Rita and I like these cottage looking houses.

Long Party!!!

2009-03-16T11:13:00.000-07:00

That was one long party. I figured I wouldn't be here for the next one in 4-4-2016 so this was it. Best Square Root party ever.
I saw alot of you there. HAHAHAH

Let's Party

2009-03-03T21:05:00.000-08:00

This is a big day for me. It's National Square Root Day!!!!!
WOW!!! This only happens 9 times in a century. The
next one won't be until April 4, 2016. Celebrate while
we still can.

Something pretty!!!

2009-03-02T21:57:00.001-08:00

Beautiful flowers.
Better than diamonds.

TO Rhonda from Boo!!!

2009-02-27T23:23:00.001-08:00

We took the first picture tonight at about 8 PM.

The moon slipped past the planet Venus tonight. Venus is the brillant "evening star". They are in the west as night falls with Venus just right of the moon.

The second picture is off a website. Taken in Dec. This is how bright they were tonight. Our little camera couldn't do it justice.

Boo wanted us to take a picture and put it on my blog. Her title is "Grandma and Grandpa and RoZ driving in truck and looking at the sky" Oh and also "this is for Rhonda"

My Favorites

2009-02-23T22:35:00.000-08:00

Love these dresses.
There were some really ugly ones this year!

My Weak Week!!! HAHAHAHAHA

2009-02-22T20:52:00.000-08:00

My headache has turned into a full blown sinus infection! Had a few days after my cold that I thought "maybe" I won't have it turn into an infection. Saturday I woke up and thought no I am getting sicker. Went to Urgent Care and got fixed up. It is great to have all my records on the computer and they believe me now. Speaking up for myself is new to me. These professionals work for me and I pay them. Glad I figured that out. It makes the whole process so much easier.

BUT, to put everyone's medical records on computers is just one step closer to socialized medicine. I don't want my insurance co or medical records dictating what kind of service I receive. I know to some extent it already does, but I think it will get worse down the road.

I also did our taxes online this week. Thought I just might take them to my old boss and changed my mind. I wasn't up to it I thought. I was though. They are making it easier and easier to do them online. Wisconsin doesn't tax our Social Security anymore. YAAAA!!!!! COOL!!! Where' the money!!! COMING!!!

Hugs and kisses to all my loved ones. Yes, that is you!!!

2009-02-20T06:14:00.000-08:00

HI CALLIE!!!!

Have fun in Indianapolis.

Head Hurts!!!!

2009-02-12T22:31:00.000-08:00

I have a head cold. Oh my!!! It is hard to have a runny nose with a hose in your nose. Makes blowing your nose a little more difficult. But doable. Going to lay low and get over this.

Being sick is such a waste of time.

Few of my Favorite Things!!!

2009-02-09T20:36:00.000-08:00

BOOKS!!!
I want them, I need them, I love them. I am sorting out my piles of treasures. Oh sweet books. Movies are OK and TV is sort of ok. But, books are wonderful.

I found my very first Nancy Drew book. My first visit to the Clinton Public Library was a gotcha experience for me. I can remember standing there looking at all the books and being overwhelmed with joy. We come
from a long line of readers. I hope this continues on as a family tradition.

Meet Sarah

2009-02-05T21:21:00.000-08:00

This is Sarah. She is Roz's webkinz dog. I thought of Aunt Bea when she picked out this dog on Ebay. She loves all dogs but really likes collies. There are some really cute webkinz animals. They have their own little world online. Last week I taught her (roz) to search ebay for what she likes and to mark them. Whole new world for a 8 year old. I love Ebay myself. Gotta go and see what I can find online.

Great gluten free recipes and Also a store for the public. Good food.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY KYLA

2009-02-02T05:08:00.001-08:00

Happy Birthday to you sweet Kyla. I know this is last years cake but the thought is the same this year. You deserve big purple flowers and yummy chocolate cake. This summer we'll get a cake from Lori and celebrate everyone's birthday. I LOVE YOU!!!

WOW!!!

2009-01-31T20:04:00.000-08:00

Winter formal tonight. Keanul and his girlfriend Chelsea. They look so cute and grown up. Sherrie lucked out and found the perfect tie for Keanul. Now they can dance the night away.

YUMMY

2009-01-30T21:10:00.001-08:00

Cards & One Day at a Time

2009-01-26T21:37:00.001-08:00

Heard a song on Letterman tonight by Ben Kweller.
He sang how some days are Ace's, some are like faces, and some 2's and 3's. I am going to enjoy some 2's and 3's. Not this week though. Some special events that I am looking forward to.
Have a good day!!!

Winter Version of Stop and Smell the Roses!!!

2009-01-25T21:59:00.000-08:00

Time for me to slow down and listen to myself. I am trying to jump into Spring and I am missing some of the joys of Winter in Wisconsin.
Hot chocolate is one of them. I am so busy WAITING for Spring that I have missed some good quiet times. Here I go again, living from event to event.

So, I said to myself "self, One Day at a Time."

Dreaming

2009-01-23T22:15:00.000-08:00

Looking forward to some swing time. I ordered one tonight. Last year we bought a glider and it's not the same at all. Tonight we also talked about planting a SMALL

garden. It's going to be -30 again tomorrow. Think Spring!!

LOVE IT!!!

2009-01-22T17:27:00.000-08:00

I admire people who wear what they love. Now, I love this hat but would never wear it.
I did buy one a few years ago but never have put it on my head. I keep waiting to have it all together to dress up. Let's go try hats on somewhere this spring.

2009-01-20T22:43:00.001-08:00

Isn't she lovely?

Tuesday January 20

2009-01-19T22:12:00.000-08:00

Today my son-in-law leaves for Iraq. AGAIN! Please pray for him and Kyla and kids.
Today is also a new day with a new President. Please pray for Pres Obama. That is our
responsibility as Christians in America. I believe it is going to get very interesting.

CARDS

2009-01-18T19:12:00.000-08:00

I Was thinking about cards a few night ago and remembered a pair of cards that we found at my
Grandma Henning's house. They were Grandpa's and they were girly cards from gas stations or bars that were quite common in the 60's. It was the summer between 6th and 7th grade and we thought we had really found something until Grandma showed up and took them away. She was pissed at Grandpa. They immediately went into the burn barrel. I rem Doug and I looking in the barrel for them. She didn't even rip them up. T-4, I can't rem if you were in on the retrieval or not. They were more realistic than these. Looked on Ebay and if we would have saved them they would be worth some good money now. I don't think it ruined my childhood or anything.
Cartoons and teen singers are almost as bold as these cards were. Thanks for taking a trip down memory lane with me.

Pink Chenille

2009-01-18T00:15:00.000-08:00

You can buy this cake on Etsy.com. I need to call Lori and order a cake and get over this craving before it gets out of hand. :) What do you think? I bet she could make this.

Yummy

2009-01-16T20:25:00.001-08:00

Doesn't this look like a breath of spring.

I will share.

The Devil's Pastime

2009-01-15T21:39:00.000-08:00

I find it hard to believe that my Grandma Keough really believed cards were evil. When I think of cards only good memories come flooding in. Some of the best times were at the kitchen table after supper just playing cards. I rem thinking that Rick was never going to understand how to play. Tonight Grandpa and Roz played cribbage. She is getting the basic ideas down. Let's try and play cards more. I know we all are busy and scurry to and fro but wouldn't it be fun?
Maybe I just have cabin fever. Roz was hoping for school tomorrow because she is bored. There is a big difference in not going anywhere and not being able to go anywhere. This too shall pass!!!

I CHANGED MY MIND

2009-01-14T23:27:00.000-08:00

On Sep 15 I blogged that I was very content right where I was at. Tonight it is -20 below and I went surfing the web for a dream place . These are just a few of the many I found. Come join me and we will play some cards and talk and laugh and take a few naps.

My Twin

2009-01-13T22:26:00.001-08:00

I'd like you to meet my childhood idol. One of many. This is Katy Keene! She has all the latest fashions and many boyfriends. She is the reason I bought my first computer in 98. I was looking for some comics from the 50's and couldn't find any. Rita did find me one but I wanted more. I have now a comic book collection worth more than my wedding ring. I still enjoy looking at fashion. I wonder if anyone else has ever heard of her. (in my circle)

WINTER

2009-01-12T22:59:00.000-08:00

This is our backyard last winter. This year it is even deeper. Going to be really cold here the rest of this week. Glad I am not going anywhere. I worry about the little and big children that need to walk to school. Maybe they will cancel. -30. Hope so........ BRRRRRR

Would you believe it?

2009-01-11T23:27:00.001-08:00

I made this recipe and took part in a chat room for $40.00. Wow, can you believe it? I still can't. It was good!

I smile whenever I think about it.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO ME!!!

2009-01-11T17:44:00.000-08:00

This is what my birthday cake looked like. Llyle stopped at a grocery store on the way home from work in Delavan and found my ice cream cake. We played cards with Roz and had yummy cake. T-4 (Isn't he sweet to get my treat. )

NDE Anniversary!!!

2008-09-15T20:48:00.000-07:00

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!!!!

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!!!!

2008-08-23T22:32:00.000-07:00

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!

2008-08-21T18:33:00.000-07:00

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!!!

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.

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

Soon coming to your area.

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

2008-03-01T14:06:00.000-08:00

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
