Well I am up to my waste in Snow Goose

Well this is the time of the year when my cup run nth over. Of course you all know it is tax season and I am always putting things off until the last minute. Then it is the annual Snow Goose Festival and I am busier then you could believe. But I am having a lot of fun at it. It is always fun to see if you can pull it off. Any thing. Will as a Mother of 3 girls I learned after the first wedding I did for Amanda. The only thing that is important is THEY GOT MARRIED. You are the only ones that have all those ideas of how you want it to go. But in the end, all that matters is THEY GOT MARRIED. So with this in mind, we go forth. Two weeks from today we will have finished your first day and Saturday is at our heels. Tomorrow the taxes will be out of the way and off to the next job. THANK GOD I have one!

ALL IS WELL (so far)

I had the surgery yesterday and everything is going pretty good. I am a little tried, a little sore and would like to get back to real life. Thanks for all the positive feelings and that I received from everyone. I will be back and rolling next week.

Round Two

A year ago I had my gallbladder out. It was the worst thing I have had. I would have much rather had a c-section then to have had the attacks. The surgery was simple, I had it on a Wed. and was back at work on the following Monday.
For the last couple of months I have felt a bulge on the right side of my upper stomach. Finally last Friday it went to see Dr Shamo. He asked what had brought me in and I said I had a lump in my stomach and it better not be a baby ( I am almost 51, with almost 12 Grandchildren, for Pete sakes)! Dr. Shamo ask if it was moving? Is it kicking? No I answered! Well it's not a baby then, was his reply. He felt the lump and said he thought it was a hernia, so he sent me for a CT scan. Sure enough that what it is said the results. So on the 21 of this month off I go.
I have only had three c-section and all of a sudden two surgery in the past year. I have had enough of this all ready.

Annual Christmas Cookie Party Exchange

Last night we had our annaual Christmas Cookie Exchange Party. This has been a tradition for about 12 year. The party is held a one of the friends houses and the hostess serves a wonderful meal. We enjoy the evening and exchange gifts along with the cookie exchange. Each friend brings a basket or container to be exchange with the other friends. The basket exchange has been conducted in serval different manners. This year each basket is assigned a number and then we rolled a dice to see what number. Five friends, five numbers, who evered rolled a number other then there own received the basket with that assigned number. It is reall fun to see what everyone will bring. The exchange is not limited to just cookies, this year the were pies, muffins, bannana nut bread and cookies. This is a really fun way to get treats for the company coming for th holiday.
A BIG THANKS to Deb Jenkins for a wonderful turkey dinner with the fixins. THANKS for all the fun.
Love, you guys
