Just an update no pictures yet

   Everything here is going as well as it can. We all have discovered dad was the brains behind our whole operation. We just ache for him.

    We are getting new doors and I am so excited.  My dishwasher gave it up and I bought a new one if a dishwasher could be divine, it is.  We are staying busy with yard work and a huge garden. I planted a new rose bush its a strange color all I can say is its kind of pink. We have the kids and grand kids almost every weekend.  5 grand kids now. My DD gets married in June so you never know....smiles.

    I have just brought a pattern from the Lovely Crow.  It is a little cardigan.  My DIL  has a friend that is so sweet to her and gave her a very special gift.  The gifter has a small daughter, and loves anything made by hand. I am going to make the cardigan for her little girl.

    I have been knitting on a scarf for what seems like several years. It will be my pick up work.  I am going to baste my son's quilt for quilting in may. Fuzzy flip flops are on going with 3 little girls in my life....2 pair today.

    You can see we are getting along. I meant to post project pictures, but it is to dark to take pictures. The storms are coming.  I love the rain, but to cold to sit out under the patio and watch it.

    My dears thanks for your outpouring of love. I pray all that called my name in prayer will be blessed without measure.

Half way

I must thank everyone for their prayers.  I could feel the prayers, and that gave me the strength to do all I have had to do.  We lost our beloved dad the last of October then my favorite Aunt December 14th and WP.'s dad December 24th. We had to tell Kentucky mom on Christmas Day. Its been a heart rendering year.  Nan-Nan is doing as good as she can (65 years) I think it would be like loosing half your heart and brain. We miss him so much, but we are doing well.  Wp. and I really lost two dads within two months.

Nan , and Molly are with us now and we will have Kentucky mom some. Our life is different, but wonderful and I must say joyful even with the longing for dad.

I do still crochet and knit, but not like the old days. I have made many things I just have not took pictures of. I made the girls ear warmers for Christmas.

Also a little fun with the Viking hats that went over so big along with the hats and beards. I lost count how many I made.  The Viking hat is my youngest son's and I made a little one for my 5 year old grandson.

Well my dears, I am thinking I am half back. I will next time put links up. The yellow beard was my pattern. The rest are easy to find if you can't you all know where I am.. Hugs

My beloved daddy

Trying to be About God's business

  I am still here. Dad is not doing well and that reflex's on mom's well-being. We have had two trips to the ER here lately. We are making a go of this. Its just so hard to see your strong handsome dad fade away before your eyes. I would not wish it on anyone, but grateful so grateful I can be with him.

I do crochet at odd moments and there will be pictures at some point. I know I have let my dear friends down, but you know what we are walking through at the moment. Grandma use to tell me when things we bad, that I was walking through fire and God would put out the fire in his own time.

I wish for each that still peek in just the best of everything....and joy the kind you can't wait to share .. hugs to my dears.

  Well lets see here. Dad is doing better in so many ways (Thank you God). We take each day as it comes with joy.  All in all we are happy even among all the chaos that is cleaning out  65 years of things and combing them with our 42. We will be sorting piling giving away and cleaning all Fall. But I have been taking time to craft some:

rug is not done, it is eating up the free worlds supply of yarn balls I have. My rug pic is not down loading will try next time.

Baby blanket is just that what some call the granite stitch with a dbl crochet border and crab st. around.  It is so pretty in person.

  I know its not good pics, but cut me some slack here they never are.

Mom bought me an early birthday present....love this book. It may be all over the crochet world I don't surf much anymore. There is a dress in it I must do and the coat is so stinkin adorable.

Me, well I take my meds do what I am suppose to do, lost tada nearly a 100lbs. my A1C is now 5.3 from 10.5 last Oct. My Stroke Dr. realeased me. So all in all I am a brand new improved Mimi and I have to prove it every 3 months.

Weepaw has been drug through the knot hole backwards with the Ky mom and dad. Our aging teenagers are a handful. Still glad we got them.

May you all be blessed with the joy of each new day. Sending good thoughts catch them.

MY group: Will put the pics up this weekend sooo love you guys you mean the world to me and everyone that kept me close,especially my dearest friend Marla.

 I have gotten a few things done while waiting at the hospital. Dad has had to go back in several times. Hes doing better today. One day at a time.  He came home Friday,  they did a liver biopsy Wed. which turned out good. Thank God. We still are not out of the woods yet a big appointment Monday.  If you can believe this, and I have a hard time  wrapping my head around it, they drained 2 quarts one day and a day later another quart and a pint of fluid off his lung.  He can now walk around and not gasp for air.

I rarely have time to get online anymore and honestly I don't miss it like I thought I would. MY friends keep in touch and that is precious gift.

The orange hoodie is a Red Heart sport weight Hoodie for T his favorite colors. T loves the General Lee ( car) he wants a fast car like it when he grows up.  He painted his cardboard car that he and his dad made for a play at school orange and black. He is delightful. The green sweater was made while dad was getting more blood. Its I love this yarn and the Yarny Days sweater pattern.

May good things happen to you this week.
