Contact Lenses

Yesterday I picked up my new contact lenses. Now you have to know it has been over 15 year since I have worn contacts. I thought it would be a breeze to just step right back into them, but no way. I love the feel of not having the heavy frames sitting on my face but i am having difficulty adjusting. Don't get me wrong, I can see very well at a distance but anything any closer than my waist up is distorted or so blurry I cant stand it. Also everything seems over magnified. My eyes have a lot of adjusting to do or when I go back for a check up they are going to have to change the prescription. Wow this is a weird world I'm in right now.

The week after Valentines Day

I said I would post after Valentine to let you know if my plan was successful. Well it wasn't but that is ok,
Thursday the 14th my husband decided to stay home from work because he was sick. So he was in bed all day. then Friday I had to go to my sons and watch my grandson. So in all it wasn't a romantic day but at least my husband is feeling better but he decided to pass it on to me now I am the one laying in bed shivering.
Will write more later.

It's The Month of LOVE

Are you ready? Have you an idea? A Plan?
Secrets are aplenty this month, do you have one?
The planning goes into overdrive trying to deliver a message of LOVE that has not been used before. A special dinner, a handcrafted card, a delivery of Roses, a special box of Chocolates. What is your surprise secret?
I have one that I hope I can deliver but not sure so will let you know when Valentines Day is come and gone. so if you really read my blog you will find out I promise the week after this special day.
I also have 2 more special days coming  in this month.  the first is my son's birthday on the 20th and then on the 22nd I will have the privilege to step into a new year.  Everyone says January 1st of any given year is the first day of the year but for me I measure my years by the date I was born. You see I didn't know anything about the month of January in the year 1956 or even the 21 days of February were nothing to me.Until I saw the light of my first day February 22, 1956. so your year may start January 1st but mine starts in 14 days.
Happy Birthday to me!

I haven't been very busy crafty wise of late I did make my Daughter n Law some kitchen curtains they turned out cute. they were country from flour sack fabric and calico. she only wanted the cafe curtain. so here's a pic.

 Hope you have a wonderful Valentines day.

The End of a Long Month

Has The Month of January seemed to have lasted a long time, or is it just me?
I k now I will be complaining when December rolls around say wow, where did the year go but I was just telling my husband it seems as if January is never going to come to an end. I guess I should be rejoicing I get to remain 56 a little longer.
We are approximately 3 weeks away from Valentines day and I have to get some baking done. I made some cute little marshmallow pops last night and sent them to work with my husband to sell hope everyone likes them.
 Today is cleaning day so that my house will be clean and relaxing for the weekend.
Here is a pic of my latest endeavor in the kitchen

Weekend Wonders

My weekend started Friday at 5 am, as I climbed out of bed to prepare myself for a day with Noah.
You ask who is Noah, That's not your husbands name. No, but he carries my husbands middle name. Noah is my grandson. Yes, I spent the day with him and his mommy and we had a blast shopping, playing, eating and more then the evening we were able to spent some quality time with granddad and daddy. So my weekend started with a wonderful day of love and family. Then Saturday was a day spent with the love of my life grocery shopping. I love just doing simple things with my man. I received a phone call from another little man that I love, Nathaniel, who was wanting grandma to jump on a plane and come see him. ( Oh I wish I could ).
And then on to Sunday What a wondrous time we had the church was jumping with the electricity of Jesus. I love feeling his presence. there is nothing in the world to bring you to full peace.

I love these guys!

and the girl in the back ground.

Where Have You Been?

.Wow how time flies, I was just trolling the net today and realized I had not been to my blog for quite a while. So here I am. trying to recall the last 4 and 1/2 months.. My last post was about my precious Princess winning the best costume. A lot has happened since then and I'm sure I can't remember everything that has been achieved since that date. I do know I've had an anniversary 36 yrs and then there was Thanksgiving and Christmas both which were small Paul, Sherry and Noah spent time with us and of course I enjoy every minute I get to spend with them. Yet I miss the time I don't get to spend with Natassja and her family. Life has thrown me some curve balls in my 56 yrs but the last one has been the hardest.  I am not a fan of baseball so if I get some of the terms wrong please forgive me. But the Curve ball that was sent my way 8 yrs ago almost put me out of the game. You wonder why things come your way?  I am still wondering. In those yrs so many things came flying at me that I didn't have time to duck and cover and was totally devastated.  I Have tried hard to hold it together and not let anyone know how I feel but I am sure at times it showed through. At one time I had dreams  and anticipation but that was a long time ago. Now it is wishes and hopes and those are very scares. One of my dreams was to be a close knit family and my children live close enough that I could see them and my grandchildren  regularly and be able to play and enjoy the grand babies to see each of their little milestones.But that isn't for me other people get to enjoy my grandma moments. Every other place that I have lived whether here or abroad I have been blessed with wonderful and close friends.but here I have none. No one I can talk to, cry with or go someplace with.. I sit day after day with me myself and I wishing.It is lonely and then on top of all that this year something happened that I really didn't know what had slapped me. I can't put it down here it was just to personal I am still reeling it is so fresh.
I am trying to make this year a different year hopefully I will get some courage to step out and start making myself be happy. I only have me right now. I need to get up and get out and do something before I die.
I am going to be 57 here real soon and I feel like the last 8 years are one big blur and that they have been wasted. Prayerfully with the help of God I can see this year as a turning point.
Oops didn't mean to write all this but I know no one ever reads my blog so it didn't hurt to relieve my sorry self and try and get some peace. Trying to look up.
