Hey all

Well had my hand surgery on the 26th, it went well. They removed the top portion of my middle finger on my left hand. Now it looks really weird. It is much lighter too. Thursday they took off the bandage.

We are having high winds today, 40+ mph, the temp right not is 37 degrees which is a heat wave.
So far this winter we have had 40+ inches of snow which is our normal amount for the year. I am hoping that we do not have a repeat of 96-97. That is when we had massive flooding due to record breaking snowfalls.

Found a new hobby it is called Pixel Mosaic it is beautiful but time consuming. It takes about a week of steady work to do one. And that is if I don't screw up. Last night while talking to my daughter I did the wrong color and had to tear a alot of it out. It is a bit expensive compared to my other crafts.

Hello to all

Well it is 11:43 pm in exactly 17 minutes I can only have 4 oz of water between and 2pm. I am having surgery to remove part of my finger. It has to be done so I am not too concerned about it. Otherwise life has been uneventful, and if you believe that you don' t know me.

Temp right now is -15 degrees with a wind chill of -31, this has been a cold winter and a white one, we have already gotten 40+ inches for the year, and still have 3 months to go. It has been so much fun watching the dogs out in the snow. When we get 6 inches it is up to their bellys so they are hopping all over the.

I spent the evening of the 21st and the morning of the 22nd in the hospital for chest pains, they never did find out what caused them.

Well enough for tonight, I don't know what my hand will look like after tomorrow or the use I will have but will be back on as soon as I can

I am so sorry that I have not posted. 2008 was not a good year. On January 18th I lost the love of my life. He was coming home from a conference and for some reason he lost control and put the explorer in the ditch where it rolled, they figure about 3 times. He was not wearing a seat belt so he was ejected and killed. Also oh January 18 my daughter informed me that she had permanently lost her boys.

In July, I had a heart attack called Broken Heart Syndrome. It is a condition brought on by extreme stress. They figured mine started in January and the night it occurred I almost hit 5 deer. I have hit a deer before so they tend to frighten me.

So as you can see 2008 is one year I rather forget. I am hopingto stay current now.

On Monday I will be having surgery for a gangrene ulcer on my middle finger on my left hand, they will be removing part of it. It is time so I am not worried.

Happy Mid Holidays

Well here it is December 3 and we have gone from Autumn to Winter. On Saturday mother nature chose to present us with 7.8 inches of snow, which she is not done yet. They are reporting another 3-7 inches tomorrow. I think we can start singing White Christmas. Actually the other day when going to the drug store an elderly gentleman was walking down the hallway since "It is beginning to look allot like Christmas".
All is well here, we had a nice and quiet Thanksgiving, Ladena and her kids were not here and we missed them but we did have a good friend over for the day.
I had an angiogram on the 26th. My iliac arteries are not being nice. I have a recheck on the 26th of December to make sure this one took.
Kids are all busy doing what they do.
I have so much to do this month, decorating, cleaning, and baking. The last couple of years my health has been down so did not get much baking done.
Well enough for now.

Well....

Well since I completely missed a month, better write something. The last month has been a real roller coaster. Doctor appts, funeral's weddings you name it I probably did it.

Health is, doing pretty good I do have and angiogram scheduled for the 26th. Otherwise so far all tests are coming in good. Been feeling so so, for some reason have been having allot of nausea but have a pill for that and started having a strange pain in my shin. I am slowing going through doctors to find out what it is. Next week have an appt with my Rheumatologist he is next on the list.

Our weather is holding. It has been in the 40's which might sound cold but not for here. We have had snow flurries but that is all.

Been working on Knitting, and Plastic Canvas finishing up Christmas presents. Have started working on beading.

Kids are doing good, LaDena is going through some rough times right now but I told her to hold on for the ride. Holly has a new store the one she wanted, she is the manager. Erica is doing great at her 2 jobs. and Jenn is doing great at school.

Well not much else hope all is well with everyone. And I will try to be more current.

Happy Day to You

Well here it is Thursday and in a little more than a week and September is gone. Our weather is in the bouncing mode. One day hot the other day cool. I managed to catch a bad cough that is driving me crazy the doctor did put me on antibiotics to kill it since with my medical conditions I cannot take anything else. Have been having some problems with my MS so back to not driving again. Oh well getting close to the time of year I hibernate anyway.
Ladena's birthday is on Sunday, she and Todd are going to Duluth for the weekend and then she is coming in on Monday so we can do lunch.
Well not much else haven't had any appts but do have one Tuesday and then again on the on the 1st. Busy time of year.

Take care all

Fall has come

Well we turned the calendar 9 days ago and mother nature turned hers. It was 43 degrees this morning when I woke up. Tomorrow it is suppose to be 42 degrees.
Things have been going okay, a good friend of ours lost his mother last week. She was a very dear lady and will be missed.
So far this weekend I am batting 100% on the teams I follow. MSUM, NDSU, UND and the Vikings all won. I am playing fantasy football on NFL.com for the first time this year and the last I checked I was winning both of those games. Now this will never happen again.
Got to see pictures of my newest great nephews (twins) and they are little dolls. Well time to let the dogs out and go to bed, another week ahead.
Take care all.
