POLICE CARS.........and KNEES

I wish I had made a picture.  Yesterday morning when I stepped out my back door, there were three police cars parked in my driveway.   I just about had a heart attack.   I knew they were there to tell me something had happened to Gary....(my son)...but where were they?   Then I decided they must be at my front door, so I walked around the house (in my PJ's)  to find no one at my front door.  My heart was about to jump out of my chest.   Then I walked out into my back yard and I could see three policemen in my neighbors yard talking to the girl who lives there.  What was going on I wanted to know, so I stayed outside until the police came back to their cars....which was about thirty minutes.   Here is what the police told me.   The girl had ran her car into the river and swam to the shore and then ran.      I imagine when they pulled the car out they found the owner, and came to her house.(No drivers license and no insurance)  The police thought they were in HER drive way.  I told them they just about caused me to have a heart attack.   They apologized so I turned and went in the house.  Just as I did my knee popped and it took me forever to take a step.  I couldn't walk.  I stayed in the bed all afternoon with an ice pack and ibprofen.  It is swollen really big.  Today, I can walk.  I went to church, but it is really sore.  Maybe a pulled ligament.?    Any way....that's what's going on in my world......NEVER a DULL Moment!!!!!!

Monday At The Yarn Shop!!!!!

We have a group of ladies that spend their Mondays at the yarn shop.  I am one of them.  We take whatever we are working on and work our little fingers off and always have to have lunch there.  Most of the time we order our food but ever so often someone will bring something homemade.   I make brownies more than anything.  (Like I need brownies)   Bur we have a good time.  The little blue outfit is what I worked on today.  I am finishing a hat the matches the outfit.  It belongs to my sister when I get it done.  She has a "reborn baby" doll that looks so real.   Well, that's what is going on in my neck of the woods.  I'm trying to stay active with my blog.....Hope I don't bore anyone.....my mind doesn't always know what to write about!  See you again soon!

THE MIDDLE OF MARCH???????? NO WAY!!!!

I've been as busy as a bug in a rug.......Knitting and crocheting and painting my kitchen cabinets.  I'm sorry to go such a long time without posting.  I.ve also had several visits to the dentist with an abcess tooth and then I had six teeth pulled at one time and two new denture plates  made. But I.m doing OK with that and everything else as far as I know.   It's been a very mild winter here...in fact we had snow one time that barely covered the ground.  I.m anxious for spring ,  Everyday I see it becoming a reality.   I hope all my blogging friends are still on here... I will try to catch up with you in the near future......I PROMISE!   Have a wonderful week-end.......  (The above baby poncho is what I finished knitting a week ago.  I just thought it was cute!

The Middle of January????? Where have I been?

Well, Christmas has come and gone and here we are in the middle of January.  My Christmas was good.  I went to my sister's on Christmas eve (along with Gary)  and on Christmas we both went to Bill's sister.  This is the first Christmas in fifty some years I haven't cooked Christmas dinner.   It felt different, but I enjoyed being with family and then  Lisa's family came back from Louisiana and I stayed with them a few days....then the boys came home with me.  We had Christmas all over again.   The boys stayed until Jan 6th.  I took them back home Saturday.  Now I'm thinking about Spring.  Can't you tell by the  pictures.?  The Hyacinth came from Walmart.  It was a bud and this morning I had a good surprise when I walked in the kitchen.  The violet was given to me by Ruby from New Market.  She gave it to me when I went to visit her right before she moved to Texas.  (Hope you see this Ruby)  

     The weather here in TN today is strange.  I have had my doors open.   Our Winter has certainly been mild.  I can't help but think about Spring. 

MERRY CHRISTMAS AND A HAPPY NEW YEAR!

From Thanksgiving to Christmas.....where have I been?????  Isn't it amazing how time flies?   The days are short and the nights are long.     It seems I couldn't get everything together this year.   I had to MAKE myself put up the tree and I still have a few packages to wrap.     Lisa and her family are visiting her husbands relatives in LA....so that means no grandboys for Christmas.  They will be back right after Christmas and will come stay with me for a few days.   Here's a picture of my tree.   The only ornaments are crocheted snowflakes.   I will celebrate His birthday  and be happy for all my blessings!
