Merry Christmas Bah hum bug
Well Christmas was yesterday and it was terrible. We had no gifts for any of the grandchildren. It was made worse by the fact I had a accident at Logans school. So bad I cant talk about it for now.
My Uncle who had his leg removed from knee down is dying. Yes dying. And my mom's last living brother has also passed away. I just seem to have more and more bad news. I want this year to be over cause I just can't deal with any more.
Please god I am asking you please no more. and please make 2016 better.

Another year of prayers and unhappiness
So we have started out this year with my uncle falling and breaking his back and some ribs. Then he had some toes removed. They did not cover them properly so of course they got infected. He ended up in the hospital. Then when he finally got back to a NEW nursing home, they decided he would need either his foot removed or from just below the knee down removed. They ended up doing the knee down. He seems to be doing better, but he also has Sun downer which my dad also had before it progressed to full blown Alzheimer's. The thing that upsets me the most on this is this Uncle is only 10 years older than me.
Now today which is our grandson Jeremy's 13th birthday we learned hubby's brother's wife is in the hospital and may not make it. We aren't even sure what is wrong or what happened. So we are sending out more prayers there.
On top of all this we wanted to be in Florida by now and we will be staying here till at least June, unless we get kicked from our home. Yes we are now not able to make payment once again and are once again in foreclosure. This Christmas will be bleak for sure.
I have medical bills and they are just getting larger.
For the last few weeks when I go to the bathroom I have been bleeding ...........A LOT!
I showed hubby and he agreed yes it was a lot. So I went to the doctors. They ordered both scopes one up the back side and one down the throat. BUT when they called me to talk to me about the appointment they told me I have been blocked because I guess I owe a bill from way back in 2004 when we had no insurance and I had these same test done. (we have cancer running very high in my mom's side of the family) I don't have the money to pay this bill so I can't get these tests done. SO here I sit bleeding almost daily. I'm scared that by the time I do get the tests if ever it will be too late!
So what started out as a good year for me learning to walk has turned into a nightmare for me. PLUS I need surgery on both my shoulders. I just don't know what to do any more. I cry so much. I keep asking why me? and why can't I get help? I've got help from our clinic to pay our medical bills but they don't do past bills! I pray daily for myself as well as everyone else whom is having troubles.
The only good shinning light is our Aaron is back home. It was a bad way he came back. Just before Thanksgiving but Hubby and I are so very very happy he is home!

Lasting Memories
As I sit playing my games on Face book, two of my grandsons are playing on their computers here in the living room. I am sorta listening to them as they play. The youngest of the two who is 8 (until Jan) is giggling away while his brother (who is 12 till Dec) is giving demands of what to do next in the game. (they are playing the same game together on their computers) What is funny to me is this is one of the few times they are NOT FIGHTING.
The older whispers something to me and I don't answer he whispers a little louder and I still don't answer, his brother tells him I am ignoring him. I laugh to my self because he has it right I am ignoring his brother as I want to see what they are talking about with out seeming that I am nosey. They will learn soon enough that grandma is nosey about everything.
The thing I love the most about just listening to them is Little man's giggle. he sounds just like his older brother Tj. Tj is now 20. You might remember we (gpa and I) raised Tj from a baby. I have tons of memories that I am trying hard to hang on to. Him giggling him telling me up every 3 secs when he could walk himself and he was no small baby/child. Him being out at the farm being a dare devil, climbing up the ladder at 3 to the top and scaring the hell out of me. Him taking a 3" spike 5" long and hammering all day long till he got it into the pole barn cause he wanted to help gpa build it. Him running from room to room when we were looking for a house in town to buy and move to saying this would be his room all the while I was thinking he was going to be heart broken to learn he wasn't moving with us. Little did we know he would be and wouldn't be leaving us. And the day his brother Aj moved in with us so that now he not only had a playmate, he had his brother with him in South Dakota with him and gpa and gma.
Little man is so much like his older brother. he has the soft heart like his brother does. He too is not a small child. and he giggles just like his big brother. I hope he never looses that giggle. Every day when I drop him off at school when I hug and kiss him I tell him to have a giggle happy day and to smile. Then I "poke" him because that is his thing poking. I had hoped he would have grown out of it by now but no he is still poking everyone. They both like to eat everything. Including most things other kids don't like to eat.
So why am I doing this today? well the boys are home from school this week. Today and tomorrow they have some kid of conference at school then of course Weds they are off for Thanksgiving break. That and the fact that I am really hoping to move to Fl next spring. I wanted to be gone NOW but things happened to keep us here. And of course the other thing is I'm getting older , They say alzheimers is inherited. So I want to keep these in my mind as long as possible. I want to remember these great kids who have spent most of their life with us. These are the memories I want to keep right there right up front so if I don't know anyone I hope I can remember the giggle.

And the waiting game begins.
Went to the doctor this morning.
Hubby had found a lump a few days ago. So I made a doctor's appointment. I also wanted to have her check my knee. It is still bothering me since I fell on my birthday this year out in South Dakota.
She checked the knee first said I needed an x-ray and then to go see the ortho doctor. That's ok I like Dr Ghose He is the one who took lump out of my arm did surgery on my knee and did my hubbys shoulder and hip surgeries.
Then I have an appointment this Thursday to get another mammogram and an alter sound done for the lump found in the breast. I say another because I just had one done in April of this year.
SO the waiting part begins as does the worry part!
up date: test come back normal. NO CANCER! relief.

Lucky is getting very possessive
That night when we went to bed, hubby tried to put his arm around me but this time instead of over the covers he went under them. Well, Lucky didn't like that and was soon trying to bite hubby's arm. When hubby wouldn't move his arm Luck got up ( he was all stretched out on my right side with his head on my shoulder) and got on top of my chest putting himself between my face and hubby's arm. As soon as hubby moved his arm Lucky went down by my feet and went to sleep. The next morning hubby had to work early instead of afternoon shift and Lucky was sitting on bed watching every thing hubby was doing and as soon as hubby leaned over to kiss me good -bye Lucky got in between us. Hubby said "No, Lucky this kiss isn't for you" and pushed him out of the way. As soon as he kissed me Good-bye and left for work Lucky curled up on hubby's side of the bed like thank god he's gone! LOL
Just about every time someone walks out the front door Lucky is there trying to get them to give him treats. His treats are kept on top shelf of the closet in living room because that's the only safe place for them. Most every where else Lucky can get to them even when door is closed. But at top of closet shelf he can't.... BUT He does climb to top of tv stand which is almost as close to them as he can get and he will look around the closet door as if to say "there they are I can see them please get me some." He will give you love but if you ask for love one to many times he gets annoyed and will bite you as if to say "Ok enough I want my treats now!" Spoiled rotten cat! LOL he is as bad as the grand kids when it comes to being spoiled! Yup that's our Lucky.

shivering
No I'm not cold.
I just had a bad dream.
I have cold chills going up and down my spine.
It starts out with my oldest grandson, picking a fight with me about him sleeping in the smallest bedroom we have (which by the way is where his youngest brother is sleeping right now) I catch him stealing a tape measure. No I know it doesn't make sense. Next I look out the window in the room he is trying to use as his own bedroom and I see not one but 2 dead bald eagles. and just before I turn to go tell my mom (whom by the way has passed) I see a swan, not yet dead but dying. I go out into the living room to where she is in the kitchen and tell her about them and say do we call the e.p.c.s.a. Now mine you I have no idea if these are the right letters to the right word I'm looking for. When she says yes I suppose you should. As I'm looking on line for the phone number I look out the living room window and ask why is dad still here why isn't he at work? (again dad has passed as well) Then I see my hubby getting into the car with my dad and I'm like why is dad taking jack to work? and I keep asking that over and over. I also say we have enough cars I could have taken him to work. Then I am fighting with another grand child over feeding the cat. I finally grab a can but instead of opening the can I set in down and tell my mom as she is walking into the living room with a cup of coffee before you sit down come look at the 2 bald eagles and swan. And I see my dad backing down the driveway with my hubby in the car. That's when I wake up. Of course first thing I notice is the cat is on top of me trying to wake me up to feed him. Second is the time 7:21 am. and third of course is why did my dad take hubby to work. and then it hits me dad is dead he didn't take hubby to work. BUT could he be taking hubby someplace else? I am dreading finding out. I hope its just a dream and means nothing. I hate these cold shivers.

And we loose another young person
I'm still wondering as I'm sure many many people are: was Bobbie Kristina Brown murdered?
Yes is has come to that Bobbie Kristina has passed away at 22.
I really have no idea what this world is coming to. What is happening? Now they are legalizing Marijuana and yes I can see doing it for those who need it for medical reasons but some of these fools will lie and just get it for recreational purpose.
I guess I'm too damn straight!

Waaahhhh
Well here we are July 18th.
and yes we went to South Dakota over the 4th of July.
So on my Birthday (the 4th of July) we drove into town and stopped at our lot. The guy who took down the house left a terrible mess.
So we decided to work around the yard and clean up. After a bit I needed a chair (I can walk but I still can't stand long)
So hubby got me a chair and I said here let me take it and I took the chair from him and started to take it out to the driveway. Well there were some boards in the driveway, and I went to step over them. I made it with my left foot but my big toe on my right foot got caught on a nail and down I went. AND I got a Hugh cut in my arm and really wrecked my knee, scraped my elbow! I promptly thew up. after we got my arm bandage up (no I didn't go to the doctors) I sat in the chair and didn't move much after that. Darn sandals! We came home on Monday. Tuesday we were out moving stuff around in back yard cause we brought our Camper home and I was standing on the back end of trailer when I fell of twisting my left ankle! DAMN! I figured I was done hurting my self but I was wrong. this week Weds. I was out shopping and came home and went to get out of car when the door started to shut, I stuck out my right foot to hold door open missed the door hit bottom half of door door kept closing and snap there went my big toe right foot and yes I had sandals on! REALLY? OH GOD DID MY TOE HURT. Called the clinic and they said well there was nothing they could really do for that other than yank it back and then put a splint like thing on it to hold it in place (and you can buy them in any drugstore) So she said can you pull your toe your self? WHAT ARE YOU KIDDING YOU MUST BE KIDDING OH OK I'LL TRY. So I grabbed hold of the toe pull screamed my head off cried and cried and cried some more puked and then picked up the phone and said ok I did it. And she said yes we heard! She told me to put the splint thingy on then wrap it and just leave it for a day or two. CRAP do you know how many times I've already hit that stupid TOE!!!??? It still hurts, its still swollen and its still very red. I may have to go in and have them look at it anyways!
I don't know if all these "accidents" are because I can walk now but am off balance somewhat, or the sandals or what but let me tell you that's 3 and things come in 3 so I'm good no more please!

Happy Birthday Dear Bryan
Happy Birthday toooooooooooo yoooooooouuuuuuuuuuu.
And many more!
Happy Birthday Barman! Hope you have a super awesome day!
And up next is well 4th Of July.
Which means:
ROAD TRIP!
Oh wait you all were waiting for the other right? the (whispering) my birthday?
Yeah that too!
We are taking 3 of our grandsons and driving out to South Dakota to kinda search for a new home. As some of you may or may not know we no longer have a home. Last fall we had it taken down. ALL OF IT.
Our original plans were to tear only the back side down and keep the front side because it was still ok. Well when we went out last summer we noticed that the blocks were crumbling and the whole front end was sinking and so we emptied out the whole house and hired a guy to take it down for us.
Cry OMG did I cry! That house meant so much to me. All because of the stupid back screen door. When I first seen the house it wasn't for sale. And I kept thinking now if that one would just come up for sale. And then it did. and we went to see it and I was sold. I barely walked into it and told hubby I wanted it. WHY? The back screen door. when it closed it kinda slammed closed I really can't describe it because you have to be there to hear it and see it to know what I mean for sure but it kinda banged shut bounced open then shut again. JUST LIKE MY IN-LAWS DOOR DID.
My mom and dad in law's farm house up north had a door that did the same thing. And I miss them something awful. Mom is in Florida. Dad has passed. And the family tore the house down. SO that door is gone. all I have are memories. And now once again all I have are memories. of another door that sounded the same. at our house. that we had two of our grandsons at. That we found stray kittens at. that I tamed all 4 of those kittens but managed to only save one. Pumpkin. whom has now crossed the Rainbow bridge. Yeah it's time for a new house. weather we buy one in town already for sale. or we go up and see if we can get a Modular home to put on our land. What ever it is it will be this weekend. My birthday! I'm turning 61. but I feel like OH YEAH
Did you hear the great news?
I AM WALKING!!!!
WALKING -WALKING- WALKING. NO CANE, NO WALKER, NO SCOOTER!!! I AM W.A.L.K.I.N.G. And the pain in my back is gone. really and truly gone. IT IS A MIRACLE! And I for one have never really believed that could happen to me. and it has and I am just on top of the world. and yeah I am gonna be 61 but I feel like I'm only 49! I am also loosing some weight. I feel so much better since this doctor took me off some of those pills I was taking. WOW and double WOW is all I can say! WHOLLY SH*T! I JUST CANT BELIEVE IT! BUT BELIEVE IT BECAUSE BABY I AM WALKING! steps are taking longer but I am getting there! Happy beyond words! Have a great safe 4th of July.

GREATEST NEWS UPDATE EVER
I haven't posted in awhile because I have been working on something outstanding to tell you all.
THIS IS THE GREATEST NEWS EVER!
PEOPLE HOLD ON TO YOUR SEATS.
IT'S BEEN SINCE 2008 SINCE I HAVE WALKED WITH OUT ANY KIND OF HELP.
I either walk with a cane or go about 50 feet then use a scooter. If I do walk more than 50 feet with just a cane, I have problems breathing.
So I have trouble waking.
Well this year I went to see a new doctor and first thing she did was take me off some pills I was on that I shouldn't have been. Then she sent me off to Physical Therapy (again). Well I went and low and behold after a few times going I started walking. First more than 50 feet with my cane. Then more than 50 feet with 1 lbs weights. Now just walking. no cane no weights no anything. I AM WALKING PEOPLE. Yes they are small sow steps but I am walking. something I haven't been able to do since the accident in 2008. My next thing is to do steps. Not yet but I want to learn to do them again as well.
THIS IS THE GREATEST NEWS EVER!

Well this year I went to see a new doctor and first thing she did was take me off some pills I was on that I shouldn't have been. Then she sent me off to Physical Therapy (again). Well I went and low and behold after a few times going I started walking. First more than 50 feet with my cane. Then more than 50 feet with 1 lbs weights. Now just walking. no cane no weights no anything. I AM WALKING PEOPLE. Yes they are small sow steps but I am walking. something I haven't been able to do since the accident in 2008. My next thing is to do steps. Not yet but I want to learn to do them again as well.

Update
Sorry it's been awhile.
We've had some things going on.
Daughter and I had a big fight, police came out....things are smoothed out for now.
Hubby had his hip surgery. He is in rehab right now with the hopes of coming home this Weds or Thurs. Friday at the very latest.
We learned he will need at least one more surgery.
He needs his left shoulder replaced
I was talking to Little Man Logan about how g-pa had fake left hip fake right hip and when he gets his shoulder done will have a fake left shoulder.
Little Man Logan goes to me" will he be my real g-pa still?
I laughed so hard I almost peed my pants. I said yes just better.
We have tentative plans to move out of here by June 1st. Hubby's birthday.
I really hope so. I hate this cold weather.

How did you get that name?
When I talked about going back to blogging because I missed it more than I thought I would, I told my grandchildren I wanted to go back but under a new name. But why they asked me? Well I think grandma Gab has worn out her welcome I told them laughing a little. They didn't understand, but they did start talking about a new name for me to use.
Hey how about dear granny? was the first response. But lets not spell it like it looks said another.
Ok I said how do you wanna do it? Well said my oldest grandson who is now 19 and into deer hunting lets use the spelling Deer that is an animal. Ok I agreed So I started with Deer BUT wait said my second oldest grandson who at 15 has to get in there as well. Yes I said. Well remember when I was little and couldn't say grandma and grandpa and you had to go GR all the time? I said yes I remember. and he was like so can you capitalized the GR in granny to kinda remind me of that? Sure I said only those of us who knew that you had the problem (till now of course) will know why its GR in granny. Now Jeremy who is 12 didn't wanna be left out either so he was like don't spell granny with a y but and ie. OK so lets see if this flies I said and I put together DeerGrAnnie. Well as you can see the R is small and the A is capitalized. Because some where some one already has a DeerGRannie or something close to that as Blogger said try again. So DeerGrAnnie was born.
Now I love to blog. trouble is I forget to put in punctuation marks. you know the commas, the periods the quotations etc etc etc. and so my sentence's start to all run together and sometime just dont make any sense. ONE BIG THING is I also forget that it not my cell phone and there is no auto correct here to do that for me. Or to correct my spelling errors. I also tend to get carried away sometimes while typing one story and another will come to mind and I wrap the two together instead of making two very separate ones. Either way if you liked Grandma Gab and Mr Gab you can now find us here under DeerGrAnnie. Same people just different titles. With Many thanks to the grand kids who got us here. So stick around sit back and enjoy the new updated version of grandma GAB.

Happy Easter
Happy Easter.
Friends near and far.
I was sick here for two days and yesterday I wasn't totally up to par. I went to Vina restaurant and had Wonton soup and Egg Rolls. That's it. and that's all I've had since I've been sick. So today's meal was my actual full meal I've had sick I got sick and for almost a minute I was worried about weather or not it would stay down.
It all started on Thursday when I woke up with a terrible migraine headache. I took my meds which is suppose to keep me from throwing up but did not help one bit. Finally around 9pm hubby HAD to take me to ER to get a shot of stronger stuff to help me cope with my migraine. When I got up on Friday I still had the migraine but I could take my Benadryl and some Ibuprofen. I also had a whopping cold. I stayed in bed both days. Then finally on Saturday I woke up with just a slight headache and could take more Ibuprofen and be ok. Still had the rotten cold. All blasted winter I dont get sick then BAM when we start getting nice weather I get sick! :(
I so can't wait till we can move hopefully to some where warm like FL!!!!!

Really?
So I don't know how true it is..................
But I got a call from my oldest son's girlfriend and she said my son is in jail.
He beat her and tried to run over her son all while being drunk. If this is true he will be there awhile.
I would have thought at almost 41 he would have learned by now.

Dear Momma
Dear Momma:
Why didn't you tell me some of the families history before you died?
Like who if anyone had arthritis....I'm thinking daddy did even though he never complained, and only reason why I think so is when he died they straightened his fingers out and when I seen him in the casket I knew something was wrong with him, he just didn't look right. As I stood over him I realized his fingers were straighten out instead of all bent and crooked. That was my first clue he must have had arthritis.
And how about problems going to the bathroom? Now I know you had some problems but you never said what or how you had to fix them (if you ever did) and the only thing I know is that you ended up with rectal cancer from having those problems.
And allergies; Does anyone in our family have allergies? I can't remember any one coughing a lot but I remember you always having a runny nose and daddy always hacking up a lung. Were those allergies?
I know a lot of the important things, like who had breast cancer, and other woman part cancer. And I know about Diane's hole in her heart. (can't remember what they call it but I remember when I tell doctors hole in heart and they say.... Rheumatic fever and I say yes that's it).
But mom you didn't talk to us about your cancer. Oh sure I knew about the rectal cancer, and they said you had a spot on the lungs but it never grew larger. but there was cancer other places in nodes or something you didn't tell us about. Nor did you tell us what the doctor said about how long he thought you had.
Actually mommy you really didn't tell us much of anything. One day you were there my mom and the next you were in bed and I was taking care of you knowing it was the last time I would be with you.
There are so many times I wish I could call you. You knew about your first great grand son. But you never learned when we finally got our granddaughter your great granddaughter. We had Tj and Aaron when Kelley came along. Then Jeremy and Timothy Mark Jr., James and Logan before we got Kaitelynn! 8 momma I have 8 grandchildren. and Jack and I raised Tj. Tonya was at no point to take care of him after her husband ran off. And when she was Tj didn't wanna go home to her. SO we had him all the time. He is 19 now momma and as big as Jack! and do you remember when I was dating Jack and daddy said to me you sure you wanna marry him because he ate so much? Well so does Tj. LOL and momma so does Little man Logan, I hope your watching over them from heaven momma cause thats about the only thing that keeps me going daily. Cause there are days when I am so ready to just fall apart. Remember when you told me "just wait till you have kids of your own?" Yeah I told that to my daughter too. and she is like mom take off the curse! Oh yeah Momma Tonya did not have any girls she had 4 boys. I was right she got dad's moms curse of no girls. There is another thing I wish you and daddy told my kids about. Cause they look at me like I'm crazy when I tell them about it. They think it like an old wifes tale. But ya know I kept telling her every time she got pregnant that she wasnt gonna have a girl and I was right. I knew I don't know how I knew but I just knew she wouldn't. I keep thinking of what you and dad had said about grandma and her not being able to have girls and that is would be something passed down and I just knew Tonya would be the one to not have girls. Jack Jr had Kelley and Tim had Kaitelynn. SO both boys had one daughter. and momma Im afraid that neither of them will have girls when they get older. I really hope I'm wrong. The mothers these boys picked aren't ones you would have approved hell I dont really appove but its too late now and all I can do is Love my grandchildren, and put up with their mom's. and No the boys didn't marry these women, And Tonya OMG mom Tonya has 4 boys with 4 different guys and not one of them is worth shit! The one we loved like a son and we happily accepted him into our home and family only to learn he was a jerk and treated her badly after Logan was born. And the tears she has cried. She really picked some bad guys momma. Hey Momma guess what? I did help name her boys though, well not Tj as his daddy named him. But I named Aaron, Jeremy and Logan. and then when Tim and his girlfriend had Kaitelynn I was there at the hospital and I said let me please name her Ive named 3 boys and this is the only girl Im ever gonna get a chance to name please can I name her? They said what do you want to name her? I said Kaitlyn. But Shawn said do you care how its spelled? I said no as long as it was Kaitlyn. So they spelled it Kaitelynn. So I got to name my granddaughter too. Kaitelynn Ann! She has my middle name as well! Sigh can life be any better? Yes if you were here to share this all with me. There have been days momma when I really wish you had still been here to play with these grandkids. But I have muddled through and I'm still learning so much.. Main thing I learn every day is how much Love I have for them all.

HOW CAN WE STOP THE MADNESS?
So now it has come out that the co-pilot was the one who crashed the plane on purpose. They "claim" he tore up a medical excuse that he shouldn't have been working. and went up into that plane and crashed it. That company as well as many others are now going to make sure that there is always 2 people in the cock pit! I would have thought that was automatically given! really? So I wish to send out a prayer to all the families who lost someone in that crash. I don't care what country you are from hurt is hurt and everyone needs a prayer. I am so sorry.
I hope with this terrible accident that all and I do mean ALL companies start to look closer at their policies and see what if any thing needs addressing. DO you have it so there are 2 people in the cock pit? if not don't you think its a good idea that 2 are in there at all times? and maybe you need to think about having 3 in there. I know your all trying to save money and what nots but when you come down to it, if you have three in there and it prevents things like this happening then you ARE saving money because you dont have families bringing lawsuits against your company.
What other things on your planes do you need to do to make them safe to fly? Well I'm beginning to think anything over 5 years should be used on short trips only. and anything 10 years and over should be sent off to be tore down and rebuilt.
And its not just the planes that need to be checked. our cars need a taken a closer look at how they can make us safer on the roads now with thousands more drivers every year on the roads. Im not so worried about myself as I am for the future of my grandchildren and their children (when they have them)

So what is going on?
There has been another one.
I am beginning to worry just a little bit.
Ever since 9-11 when terrorist attacked the Twin Towers in New York City as well as the other place with the airplanes I have been watching.
and it seems to me we have been having more planes crashes now than ever before. Does anyone else see this? Do anyone else wonder like I do? Is this normal or is it part of the terrorist plan?
Take yesterdays crash for example. It crashed in the mountains. They said this plane had just gone through a check just the day before and they found NOTHING wrong with it. So why did it crash? They are saying something about this ok I don't know what its actually called but its a device on the bottom of the plane what is suppose to notify the pilots of how close they are to things like the mountains. Or this is my understanding. And they said that even though its heated it may have froze. I'm wondering why they dont have a deflector in front of this thingy to help keep it from freezing.
Either way it just seems strange to me that there are a lot of planes crashing these days. and I am wondering why. are we safe?

So Much going on
Well it's been awhile again. I'm seeing a new doctor right now. I changed because of some things that my old doctor told me that I didn't agree with. SO I am trying a new doctor. So far she is telling me some shocking stuff that my old doctor did not tell me in fact my old doctor put me on some meds I SHOULD NOT HAVE BEEN ON! So yeah I'm kinda glad I've changed doctors. Hubby is so ready to get his right hip done. He is in so much pain. Lord so much pain. When he gets better we are so hoping to go to Florida. I am so ready for that my self. I want to take some stuff to my friend Annette. She is doing some amazing stuff for the rescues. My next thing I hope to do is adopt a dog or puppy when we move to Florida. I miss having a Dog. We are so used to having 2 dogs and 2 cats, so that having 1 cat is strange. Maybe some day I will at least one dog and one cat again.
But for now one day at a time here is what Im doing till surgery. I really hope all goes well and that we have no other surprises.

Next update
Well again it's been awhile, but there has been so much going on here. Yesterday was our daughter's birthday we took her to breakfast at I-Hop and after we ate they sang "Happy Birthday" to her and boy was her face red! LOL Her brother asked her if she was worried because it was Friday the 13th? and she was like No I'm not superstitious. Later she regretted saying that. She went to see her boyfriend and they were playing catch to get her warmed up for her softball season. Well some how he threw the ball it hit her glove and then her head. Her whole forehead was a Hugh swollen mass. This morning the swelling is down but she now has two black eyes. She looks awful!
Then yesterday little man Logan had a school carnival. Well since mommy already had plans because of her birthday it was up to grandma. Well normally grandma don't mind but she really can't walk much and I've been having trouble with breathing. But we went. I swore we weren't gonna go for more than an hour. Well we ended up staying the whole two hours. By the time we left I couldn't pick up my feet to walk to the car. I got in the car and put on the heat on the seats and then careful drove home. Got home and it took me almost 10 mins to walk from the car to the house. Once in the house after going to the bathroom I crashed in my recliner and that's where I stayed till bedtime. I was a wreck. I heard my self moaning and groaning and I think even crying in my sleep because of the pain. I know my toes and feet were cramping up and hubby said my legs were jumping like a rabbit in the middle of the night. Yeah I shouldn't do that much walking. (And I hadn't really because I walked some then sat .....I brought my walker with a seat). But I guess even sitting and walking for two hours like that was too much for me.
Hubby is scheduled for his right hip surgery April 15th! I am so glad he will finally be all taken care of. That poor man, never having gone to a doctor most of his life and his health has always been almost perfect. He's always been my rock and for him to be in this much pain, well hell I hate it. But at least he is getting the best of care. Our doctor yes our doctor....it's so funny how this happened. Dr. Baker my Rheumatologist recommended Dr. Ghoes for me to have the lump removed from my arm. Well he did my surgery. And then when hubby started having problems with his hip I told him to go see my doctor because I liked him a lot. SO he did. NOW hubby is a guy who doesn't always care for doctors but he really liked Dr. Ghoes. So he has had him doing his shoulder and hip surgeries. Man am I so very thankful to Dr. Baker for recommending him. I'm not sure but so far our talks have been that as soon as he has healed he are finally outta here. and I'm hoping heading to Florida for our final step in our lives.

Been awhile
We've been a little busy here at this end. Hubby is trying to get things settled with his shoulder so he can get his right hip done. But you know the doctor has to do all kinds of tests first to figure out what is wrong with his shoulder and weather or not they have to replace his whole shoulder! I have been doing pretty darn good this winter KNOCK ON WOOD! And of course praying it stays this way because baby I don't wanna be sick. Nor do I wanna cold. So we have been working on getting hubby fixed up so we can be off to what ever our new life takes us. Back to South Dakota first to start with to get all our stuff then hopefully on wards to Florida! I will update some more later

REALLY? NOW I FEEL LIKE A FOOL!
Ok So I have to admit that I did not know there was anything wrong with her. BUT STILL I had my reasons.
Some of you or maybe all of you know I am on Face Book. Well not long ago there was this woman who put this really bad post about a air type guy that you can make your self and she called it a TOY. Well if you could have seen the way it blew apart the target you would know it was no toy! She said if you don't like it delete her because it was her page and she can put what ever she wants on her page. So I did. I have several grandchildren who should never see something like that, because they would make it and then get into all kinds of trouble.
Well Today I learned she passed away last night.
I didn't know she was even sick. Had I still had her as a friend I might have known that she was sick. or maybe she wasn't maybe she had a heart attack. IDK all I know is I feel like a fool! I deleted my friend (at least one I thought was a friend) and now she is gone.

She said if you don't like it delete her because it was her page and she can put what ever she wants on her page. So I did. I have several grandchildren who should never see something like that, because they would make it and then get into all kinds of trouble.
Well Today I learned she passed away last night.
I didn't know she was even sick. Had I still had her as a friend I might have known that she was sick. or maybe she wasn't maybe she had a heart attack. IDK all I know is I feel like a fool! I deleted my friend (at least one I thought was a friend) and now she is gone.
I know I shouldn't have done it but I did.
So this week I went to the dentist had my teeth cleaned. That actually went really well.
Hubby had doctor's appointment this Thursday (tomorrow) He will be talking to him about his left shoulder because its bothering him then ask when he can get his other hip done. I can't wait for him to get "all fixed up" then hopefully he will be more like himself again.
Yesterday I was playing on the computer, and on a whim I went to the Animal human society page to look at the dogs. Well I looked but I just didn't see anything that turned my crank as they say. SO I popped over to the cat page.
Well I shouldn't have. There were 2 there that I wanted to adopt really bad but the one, oh the one had just that look. I really don't understand nor do I know just how to explain it. because it's just a picture. But the look in that baby's eyes just stayed with me and I guess you could say was begging me and only me to please come get her.
And I can't. Not right now at least and by the time I might be able to she will probably be gone. And that will make me cry. Because for some reason she is calling to me. I don't know if its because she looks just like my Pumpkin that I lost 7 years ago, or if there is another reason but what ever it is its heartbreaking. How can I a person who loves cats? who saves them, let this one go? ignore her? tell her I'm sorry but right now because my life isn't settled I can't help her? Someday oh someday I will help another baby or two, but right now I'm sorry little baby I can not help you. But I can say I love you.

Long Sat.
We spent most of Saturday at a car dealership. We went down there to see if they could fix the key they just did for the Durango on Friday, because I left the dealership and it didn't open the door, it started the car but not open the door! SO we went to see if they could fix that. Well they told us not until Monday or Tuesday. So then hubby said "I would like to take a Dodge Journey for a test drive please." The guy said sure and took us out to a very beautiful 2012 Blue Journey. we took it out for a test drive and said no. So we asked the sales person if they had an older version on the Journey and he said yes and went and got a gold color 2010. We took it out for a test drive and wow what a difference. So we went back and asked about price. Well we never did get an answer on that. instead he said let me get you into that car. He also got the owner involved in our buying this car. All the people at this dealership know hubby well, as they all go up to Holiday to fill up the cars they sell, plus they buy coffee and other stuff from there and they see hubby a lot! He is well known! So when he came in to buy the Durango they were right there to help and when we came back to look for a Journey they were again there to help! Yes they wanted a sale badly but again they wanted to make us happy as well. and when they bring in the owner of the dealership to help make the sale well then you know they are trying to really make us happy. And make us happy they did.
So now I am a proud co owner with the bank of a 2010 Dodge Journey RT. We have a 5 year loan on it. It was the only way we could afford it. We are now both driving cars that are much safer than the ones we had been driving. The car I had before has been junked. And the S10 that both of us drive off and on will be taken to our farm for now. If we sell the farm then it will be junked as well because it is just a bum around car in the summer only not safe in winter months.

We never did get to go out and find a new refrigerator, like we had planned. Spent to much time at the dealership!

Happy Birthday Little Man
Today is our grandson Logan's birthday. he is 8.
wow how time has flown.
and how 8 years can make a difference.
When little man was born 8 years ago today no one knew the outcome of the day.
Logan was ok, but his mom was not.
I was back a forth between nursery and recovery room and I knew something was wrong. She was bleeding too much. So I kept at the nurse. Soon they were giving her more drugs. And daughter was so out of it and she was crying so much. She kept asking me same questions over and over is the baby alright? am I gonna be alright? and I'd answer the same yes and yes. But then I'd look under the sheet and discover she was in another pool of blood so I'd run and find a nurse. They gave her transfusions. Then did a D & C. Then the Doctor called me at home (I had to go home make sure other 3 boys were ok) and he said if we don't do emergency surgery and remove her uterus NOW she could die. And I said what do you need from me? He said well your her emergency contact so you have to sign the papers to have the surgery done but we dont have time to sign papers I need you to give me verbal permission now before we loose her. I said do what ever it take save her life. and I will be right back there in about 15 mins. He said when you get back sign the papers. I said ok. I told the babysitter who happened to be my daughter's best friend what was going on and asked if she could stay with the other 3 boys. She said yes just go. So I ran out to my car broke all speed limits and got there just as they were taking her in. They told me to ask her if she understood what was going on because of all the drugs they had given her. She said yes but not why. I said I'll explain later just go get it done. She was so weak at that point so pale and so like she wasn't gonna make it. I went back into the nursery and held my grandson and sang him the grandma loves you song but changed it to mommy loves you. So that if for some reason my daughter didn't make it he would know his mom loved him. After what seemed like forever the doctor came out and said she will be ok. She was groggy but alive. They did a complete Hysterectomy in order to get the bleeding to stop. I had saved her life but she wouldn't have any more children. She had 4 boys and I knew she wanted a girl, but now she was gonna have to be happy with her boys because the hardest choice I had to make I just made to save her life and I had. So Logan has his mom. She wasn't happy when she finally got it all put together 4 months later but then again after our screaming match I told her at least your the one here raising your 4 boys and not me raising them with out you. She agrees but there are days when it gets her down. I know that too But my choice was to save her life, so she could raise her boys and be there for them.

It's been such a hard time
Hubby and I have been under so much stress here lately. All these doctors and hospital bills that aren't covered by insurance. All the calls that we couldn't answer. And on top of it all our daughter and her boys are living here too. She is trying to help us as we are trying to help her. Yet as we seem to sink so does she.
When hubby was in having the hip surgery. I was walking to McDonald's that is there in the hospital and I started to pass by the financial adviser when I decided to check to see if she was busy. She was not. So I ask her for help. I told her about all the surgeries about not having insurance for one of them for there being so many and was there any help for us? So she got out the paper work and we started to fill it all out together. Then I went and got my lunch at McDonald's and went back to hubby's room. I told him what I had done and he said oh good.
Well time passed and we heard nothing. and next thing you know we are getting bills from the hospital and all the rest and they all want their money.
So I looked for the number but couldn't find it, but did find another number and gave them a call and asked if they knew what was going on. Well she said we were missing some paper work and until they had that they couldn't give us an answer. and that they had sent us a letter in the mail. Well we did not get anything in the mail. So we asked what they needed got a fax number and said ok we will get that to you yet today. and then we did just that. She said give it two weeks and call and see where its at.
Well yesterday hubby said I should call and see what was going on. For some reason I didn't get to it. Today he went to the mail, and found a letter saying they accepted us and paid all of our hospital bills. I sat and cried. Just totally cried. Just earlier today I changed my photo on face book. it says:
FAITH IN GOD CHANGES EVERYTHING.
Ok so now it's like I put that up there on my face book page and we get accepted and our bills are paid!
I know I've asked God for help before. and I know it seems like he's not listening, so its been hard for me to believe that there is a God. But why did I put that on my Face Book page today? and when we so needed it now? Because Faith in God Changes Everything!
Yes yes it does. Thank you God. Thank you for sending us help we needed.
Now we still have some bills yet to pay that are in collections but hey they are like a Hugh dragon breathing fire at us any more. Now its just a little lion roaring at us. And I think we can finally see the light at the end of the tunnel.
Another good thing. I am fixed up. I got a good report today from the doctor about my knee. I don't need to see him again unless I do something stupid. Now we just have to finish fixing hubby he does still need the other hip replaced. Now it doesn't seem like the world is closing in on us.

He didn't realize what he was doing when he did what he did.
The young man was a very heavy drinker. He drank more than any young person should. Then he went and got help.
But when he came out he went right back to drinking.
His girlfriend and another friend gave him an ultimatum. STOP DRINKING OR ELSE!
Little did they all know it was too late.
He arrived at the hospital to get help only to learn his kidneys and liver where already shutting down. Then everything else went to hell from there. They tried dialysis but it was too late for that. Tonight they are making the hardest decision ever. To pull the plug. He never came back long enough to know what turn of events came his way. He never knew what he was doing to those who cared so very much for him. And tomorrow his life will be over.. Way to young. all because he wanted to keep drinking. He chose to drink. So in a way he chose to kill himself. He knew what could happen. And now its way way to late for him. and all his family and friends are hurting so badly. and they are crying. What a terrible waste.

our safety
Way back when a little know company had started, when you first signed up they asked you not to use your real name, They said make up a name. Now that little know company has gone nation wide and is known all over the world and they are saying you must have your real name or you are banned! Does this make sense? HELL NO. But alas we all live in a world that never make sense. I've lost a few friends this way because they used a made up name hell I used a made up one once a upon a time. But when I wanted my family and friends to "find" me I used not only my real name but pictures of myself so they could find me. Not everyone knew me by my a.k.a. name. But then I had some friends who only knew me by my a.k.a name and when I used my real name I had to let them all know hey this is me. Police will tell you be careful of information you share online for there are people who will steal that information. So my question to this well known company why do you ban those who use a a.k.a name on your site? they are trying to keep from sharing to much information like the police tell us not to? I feel your not try to keep us as safe as we should be.

Surgery
So on Tuesday morning I have to be at the hospital at 8 am. Surgery is at 10 am. I'm hoping it turns out to be the simple surgery the doctor said it would be, 3 holes fix it done and heal! Not the oh -oh it's worst than I thought and your gonna need a knee replacement.
Once I am healed hubby is going in to see about getting his right hip replaced, if he can last that long. He is already having problems walking and standing. In fact he has told me his hip has given out on him a few times and he has almost fallen. He has caught him self so far every time!! So yeah hopefully once I'm done and hubby gets done we will finally be on our way to our new life! I'm hoping Florida. We shall see. But first let us get through these surgeries. Me first.

Stereo type
I'm changing up my post a little.
I have watch my granddaughter struggle with peer pressure and thought this would be a good place to put out some views of my own.
So in a way this is dedicated to my grand daughters.
Now just because I am old and from another generation does not mean this can not apply to you.
Things don't change all that much.
When I was a young girl I hate skirts and dresses. I wanted pants and jeans.
I also liked playing in the dirt, playing baseball and basketball.
Most people called me a tom boy.
But to me I just wanted to be me to do what felt right to me and comfortable. It did not mean I was a boy boy or a girl struggling to be a boy. it meant I like jeans and dirt.
I had dreams of getting married and having children some day. But as a young girl I wanted to dress the way that made me feel good. Not all gussied up fancy like every one thought a little girl should be. and heaven for bid should I get dirty! Dirty was my middle name. I loved playing with road graters and dump trucks and mud. I did not like trying to wear high heels shoes that hurt my feet and twisted my ankles. So leave me alone to be me.
They didn't want to take me to church because I didn't want to wear a dress. I didn't want to wear make up or get my hair done up. What was wrong with you they would ask? Are you trying to be a boy? NO but I want to be me and those things are not me.
Sure as I got older I did wear a dress once in awhile and I did have my hair done once in awhile but I didn't ever wear make up because to me that was hiding the real me. I didn't like the way it felt on my face so I didn't wear it EVER!
And for heels? NOPE give me flat shoes or tennis shoes and I'm happy. I just don't feel I need to add height to me. I am me I am 5 feet 4 inches tall period!
I hear now all these girls I went to school with who all wore heels who now have so much trouble with their feet. Me? My feet are good! well except the arthritis.
Yes I was over weight and yes I worried about it. But you know what? I dressed to make me look good with the extra weight and I am still me. I don't listen to others telling me oh you should do this honey it would make you look so much better.
But here is the thing that went around my head the most.
Because I wanted to be me, because I wanted to play in dirt and play baseball and basketball and wear jeans and flat shoes do you know what hurt the worst? They said I was gay!
Now I do not have a thing against those who are gay. nope not at all some of my best friends are gay. BUT just because I wanted to be different and wanted to be me I was labeled! and labeled gay! And that hurt. They whispered behind my back and they weren't true friends, they wanted to know what a gay person was like. and even if they found out I wasn't gay they refused to change their minds about me.
So girls, here is what I want to tell you. BE YOU. DON'T LISTEN TO OTHERS MAKE YOUR SELF HAPPY. and remember you might start a new trend by being you,

Cant think of a title.
What goes up must come down.....
That is from a song.
But today it pertains to friendship
Mine went down the way of bye bye see ya.
This person whom I thought was a friend (even though I never met her) posted something that upset me deeply.
It was how to make a machine gun, with a pop bottle and some other things you can buy at a hardware store.
That wasn't the part that bothered me although it bothered me that she posted this online where millions of children as well as sicko adults could see it.
Nope what bothered me most is she called it a TOY! Yes a toy. Now if you had seen this video you would know there is no possible way it is just a toy.
Now the other thing that bothers me about this person and this post is that she post things about "God" all the time. how her life is given over to God and how we all should trust in God and on and on and on and then she post this.
Yes I believe she has the right to post what ever she wants on her face book page. BUT when your preaching about rights and wrongs and are pushing God at people and then you post the video you posted and call it a toy when it's clearly a machine gun. Nope I'm sorry we are no longer friends.
Mainly she knew that I have some grand sons that are troubled and this is clearly instructions to make something that would get them killed over.
Maybe I'm wrong but I do not think so. I wish I had the video for you to see but see I deleted it as well as her as soon as I could so it would not fall into the wrong hands!

1-800-I-don't-care
I am so damn tired of all these damn 1-800 callers. They want to sell me this or that. Or the ones who call to collect money we owe. Yes we already know we owe you money you don't need to call us to tell us nor to ask us when can we pay. If we could pay you we would have by now.
The one I really love is "you have won an all expense paid trip to Hawaii"
Then they ask you if you have a credit card and when you say no they 1) hang up on you. 2) they ask you to get one and call them back or my favorite 3) they tell you how you can go with them by using their money then owe them by going to a little presentation of condos. Yep its my favorite one.
The last 2 or 3 times they have called here I laugh when they tell me I won. I then jump in and say no thanks. I am not interested in any ways they want to send me cause I DON"T WANT TO GO. Yeah they don't like that! I think I will change my number to 1-800-go to hell!

Then they ask you if you have a credit card and when you say no they 1) hang up on you. 2) they ask you to get one and call them back or my favorite 3) they tell you how you can go with them by using their money then owe them by going to a little presentation of condos. Yep its my favorite one.

See this really nice Dodge Durango?
See this really nice Dodge Durango?
My hubby traded off his F 350 pick-up for this beautiful 2004 Dodge Durango! For me. Well yeah for him too.
We had trouble getting in and out of the F 350 and it was getting expensive to drive as it was Diesel.
Gas prices went down but Diesel did not.
So we started looking for something cheaper to drive, and get in and out of.
I wanted a Dodge Journey but wow are they outta our price range right now. So hubby seen a Jeep and had me look at it on line. See he went to the dealership and I stayed home because of my knee.
So I went on line seen the Jeep and told him the price and he was like "what? that's not what they are quoting me" So then I see this Durango and its in our price range and I say check it out. Well he did then he also brought it home so I could see it. The sales guy told me he sees hubby a lot at hubby's job that's how they met. I said ok nice car you make up your mind. and he did and we now own it! I really really love it and cant wait to drive it. In about 2 weeks. or maybe a little more! Depending on how long it takes to recover from knee surgery.

Cats
I've probably told you before that I've owned cats since I was 2. or they have owned me. Lucky my cat now has the personality of all the cats I've own before him all wrapped up into him! I see each and every trait or movement or whatever one other cat had in him. Then of course he has his own.
He plays ball. Now I don't mean just catch the ball I mean he will send the ball back to you. He will either hit it back with his paws or he will push it back at you. I keep trying to get a video of it and I just can't get it. mainly cause my cell phone battery is either dead when I want to catch him playing or when I get ready to tape it he stops playing!
He also begs for treats. That I do have a video of
Now in this video is my daughter and Lucky trying his damnest to get her to give him some treats. Of course she is putting it off as long as she can so I can tape it.
and he does this often. as soon as anyone gets ready to go out side he will jump up on the tv stand and go by the closet door and wait for someone to give him treats. (in video she is by front door now that winter is here he wont sit by front door to often its too cold for him)
And he will give you so much love and he will reach out grab at you with his paw trying to get you to get those treats (yes they are in the closet by the front door....why I don't know someone put them there once and that's now where we put them when we buy new ones). And Lucky knows where his treats are in fact he will look in the closet judging to see if he can jump up on the shelf or not to get them himself. so far he hasn't tried to.
He has brought me so much joy. And he is one spoiled kitty. Funny thing. He is the first ever cat we paid money for. and he is the first ever cat I DID NOT PICK.
But oh he is a mommy's cat and oh he is a jealous kitty too.
Let me tell you a story of one night:
One night hubby and I were laying in bed. We were next to each other cuddling. hubby had his arm around me. Pretty soon thump thump and there was Lucky on top of me. He sat there on my chest meowing at my hubby. my hubby said what Lucky. he knew what Lucky wanted. Lucky wanted hubby to move his arm. Lucky keep meowing but hubby ignored him. So Lucky backed up and laid down on my stomach. He would meow every now and again at his total displeasure of being on my stomach. Finally hubby moved his arm and Lucky put his head on my shoulder and stretched out completely down my right side. Now he was happy! SPOILED! yeah he is he really is!
But you know what? I love it! and every night when it's bed time and he comes over and waits for me to pick him up and carry him to bed, even though I tell him he has 4 paws and should be carrying me I will carry him every single time. and in the morning when he puts a paw in my face to wake me up yeah I don't mind. Sure it might be earlier than I wanna get up but he's hungry so I gotta fed my baby, I talk to him just like one of my kids and I know he understands me. So even though I didn't pick this one out hubby did a great job. only problem was hubby thought he was gonna be his cat!

Brrr
Wow we went from some really nice weather for a Minnesota winter to Brrr now your where your suppose to be for a Minnesota winter but did you have to?
I used to love winter, Snowmobiling. Making snow forts with the kids, Ice fishing. Yes I was out there in the cold and didn't seem to notice it was even cold.
Then I got older....got arthritis, got Raynauds. What is Raynauds? well this can explain it better than me.

Then I got older....got arthritis, got Raynauds. What is Raynauds? well this can explain it better than me.
A feeling of cold in the hands and/or feet -- or sensitivity to the cold -- is a common complaint in people with hypothyroidism. Typically, if you're a thyroid patient experiencing these symptoms, the cold sensitivity and cold extremities will decrease usually significantly after you've received appropriate treatment for your underactive thyroid.
But in some thyroid patients, symptoms continue. When cold hands and/or feet persist, you should be evaluated for Raynaud's syndrome. Raynaud's (sometimes also spelled Reynaud's) is also known as Raynaud's phenomenom. It's a disease that involves an interruption in the blood flow to fingers and toes (and sometimes nose and ears), due to spasms in the blood vessels.
Now thing is I don't have a problem with my thyroid. Ive been tested many many times. But its always come back good nothing wrong.
But another doctor (I've seen 4 about this) told me it is hereditary. So if my parents or any of their siblings had it so will I. My sister has it, in fact she was the one that noticed it on me and told me to go check it out. I have what they call a very mild case it hurts but its not bothersome. my sister on the other hand has a serve case.
Another thing is now I've got a bad back and weak spin. so a fall could be trouble for me.
So I don't go out much in the winter. I stay warm indoors.

It's been more than a month....
Did you know it's been more than a month since I drove a car? NO? you didn't know that?
Well I haven't and why not? well I have a torn something or other in my knee along with something or other floating around in there causing all kinds of swelling and pain. DID I SAY PAIN? OMG THE PAIN.
I finally got them to give me a pain pill for the pain.......yeah but guess what? I started to itch and I don't mean a little itch I mean an all out war on itching. It was so bad that one night I sat up in bed was itching like crazy my hubby was talking to me I did not answer him, but instead laid back down in bed and went back to sleep . next day though we seen where I had an itching frenzy on my leg and scratched it so bad I left marks and sores every where on my leg. So I only take that pain pill when I really really have to.
Come Monday the 12th of Jan I have my pre-op exam and then surgery is scheduled for the 20th of Jan. Now hubby thinks that the doctor will get in there and say its worse than he originally thought and replace my knee. After reading the doctors report I agree. So I'm expecting the worst.
And so is hubby. He is already starting work late. As he goes and picks up both boys from school first before he heads off to work. Little man is out last at 3:20 so Hubby doesnt get into work till almost 4. And he will do this till I am back to driving again. And of course that depends on what they end up doing to me. weather I just have 3 holes drilled and they fix it or if they replace my knee. We will find out Jan 20th.

Oldest grandson
So our oldest grandson who is 19 text me the other day asking me about potato salad. And I answered him. Well I'm not 100% sure it was the answer he wanted LOL but after about another 20 text or so he called me with:
"grandma it's bland, what do I do?"
" well just squirt a little mustard in at a time and mix it and taste it but remember do one squirt mix and taste and make them small squirts because you can add but you can't subtract"
"ok thanks"
One text later: it is a surprise what one squirt of mustard can do for taste.
I text back yup sure is.
Now mine you I know his squirts.....usually bigger than mine. But if it worked hey who am I to complain?
Now here's where he had his problems, he is cooking potatoes and eggs ok? then he is getting stuff ready for mixing mixture to add in right? and he text me and says how much do I use of Miracle Whip? Well honey that's a good question because you see grandma doesn't measure. She sight and taste it. OMG WHAT?
LOL so I explained what sight and taste meant. Oh Ok. he says I get it.
Later I tell him I will have to teach you to make a turkey next...that is all sight too.
Of course it is he tells me!
LAUGHING MY ASS OFF!
ok I did copy off some of my good recipes and give to him ones that I pretty much know by heart and don't really look at, sure I take out the recipe and set it on the counter and maybe glance at it once in awhile to make sure I AM ON TRACK! But as far as what every thing is called for in some recipes it's all in the head! I told my grandson "well I now know who to leave all my cookbooks to!"
I have cook books from all the way back to when I was in 7th grade. and I've been picking up cook books ever since. I couldn't even begin to tell you how many I have. You would think I would be a master chef by now, But no just a barely get by cook. Yup that's me the dreamer one day I'm gonna get those cookbooks out and really learn to cook!
Actually I think each cookbook has 1 or 2 recipes in there that are my favorite ones to use and so that's all I use that one for. Either way if grandson likes to cook and wants the books he may have them. (all my favorites are marked)

HAPPY NEW YEAR
Happy New Year!
I hope your year is everything you hope it to be.
I am praying for hubby and I get through our surgeries with no problems. I have my next one Jan 20th. knee surgery for a tear in my knee. Then hubby will need his right hip done. Hopefully once that is done we can move on to our next chapter in our lives.
And that we are not even sure what we are doing, we bounce back and forth between living here in MN to be near grandchildren because we think the littlest one needs us. Well so does the second youngest thanks to me.
Yeah I have a temper and I started something with his other grandma. But I was in the right, she didn't include him when she included all "her other grandchildren" when I asked her why she didn't include him as well she went off on me. I said really all I wanted to know was why you didnt include him? She did this 160 and told my daughter that she never wanted to see him again. WHAT? are you kidding me? I ask a simple question you blow up go off on me yell and scream at me then tell my daughter you never want to see your grandson again let his other grandma take care of him! really? So because of this I have have him all holiday vacations from school and all weekends because his other grandmother and his dad refuse to see him. all because I asked a simple question of why wasnt he included as one of her grandchildren? So of course I blew up and I called her all kinds of names and her son as well and well rest is history they don't see him any more ever. When I asked him about it he said its ok grandma I never had fun at her house all she did was yell at us all the time we couldnt do any thing but sit around and it was boring. I asked but what about your dad arent you gonna miss him? and he said I really dont know my dad hes not there half the time (he's usually in Jail) SO I guess its all for the better but it does make me fell kinda guilty that he doesnt see his other grandma or his dad (even if it was once a year.)
I am also that crazy aunt. And I super hope that my nephews and niece can say oh yeah remember the time she and then tell a story and laugh like crazy. and be happy about it. yeah Im that crazy aunt. Ok one story.just one story.
My sister and her boys were out visiting me in South Dakota. We had been in Huron I was driving this really old pick-up. and the boys were in the back seat, the windows were open we were talking laughing and all of a sudden we were passing some cows in a field and I went moooo out the window. Then one of my nephews said hey cow do you know what your gonna be tonight? HAMBURGER! and we laughed and laughed like crazy. I don't remember where her or my hubby was nor her daughter but it was just the 4 of us if I remember right and boy we had a blast! Thats one of those things I hope some day one of them tell their kids Oh I remember my crazy aunt and all of us went and then tell the story. I hope I made some kind of mark on my children nephews niece and grandchilden and they can all smile and say yeah I remember when she............
