Many tined fork in the road

If Electric Sweeper Service is still in business in two years, I'll really be surprised. I'm actually releaved to be shed of them. I should have been job hunting this past year. Amazing how comfortable we can thing we are even when the bed we lie in is full of rocks and pricks. Got a phone call from one of my favorite dealers, I gotta take a trip to Lawrence Kansas and thank this man. He hunted me down on the internet to let me know just how upset he was. Thanks Steve. P.Sawhill got a new 6 head embroidery machine. Wants me to help her learn how to use it...or does she want me to work for her??? Thinking about going to Emily Griffiths to learn medical billing or transcription and make more money. Will take a year, but hey if I can get unemployment for that long, why not. Spend a year squeezing every penny to be able to kick up my value in the market? Not a bad thought. Wanna spend much time on the HD. MUST learn Cannon in D, yes, go ahead and groan with me. Put myself on the market for weddings and funeral and garden parties. AM GOING to get the C.D. done this year. CA is making me crazy. Nothing legal going on down there and don't want to be the one to haul in the law, but maybe I'll have to. Started at looking how to make a will. Not hard, you just got to be precise. Almost got Mari-Posie done. She's Twigs, 2nd cousin? Mariposa is Spanish for butterfly. Hope to finish her this week and start on Toothless. Doll making is fun. It's cold and snowing, nice to day to think, pray and meditate. Wish I could get a strong answer on which tine to travel. Maybe just too soon.

time to review

Last day of the year, time for a review. I'm a survivor, I've been married 35 wonderful years to a truly wonderful man, Seen two new fabulous grandbabies born, and lost my mother. Maybe the Sharp's too. Had a daughter surprise me with an act of love that leaves me in awe of her. Had my home broken into, lost both guitars, two computers. Flipped a Blazer in the snow and drove another day in the snow with nothing more than some rattled nerves. Poured not nearly enough concrete. Had a good garden, lovely roses dispite a wicked hail storm. Learned several new pieces on the hammered dulcimer. Got to play at White Fence Farm 3 times. Went to the Manito Spring music festival. Made a Twig doll for one grand daughter, made a dress for another. Knitted a vest and hat for a grandson. Only went gold panning once. Need to do that more often. Didn't see my kids near enough. Didn't sew enough, didn't lose enough weight. Didn't move enough, didn't go to the temple often enough. It's all past.

Life is looking up

Found Robert a new ride. Blazer LT with all the trimmings, it cost less than the payment from the insurance so financually we in a better place, now it all paperwork. We're both healing, have decided we're not doing enough to help us heal, we've got the tools, didn't take the time. NUF, take the time, tired of hurting. At least I can furrow my brow without it hurting, still can't "noggin" with Kim. .. Robert only has to be in the boot for 4 to 6 weeks instead of the 12 the trama Dr wanted him in. This too shall pass. Not surprised how little I remember of Mom's funeral. Actually that whole week is a blur. Thanks to all for all your help getting us around. Feel like I'm waking out of a bad nights sleep. Played HD at the Senior center. Need to do more, it's healing for my soul. Need more of that too.
Only two more weeks of lazy Sunday Mornings, shall miss them.
Love you all

Whoo Wee what a time frame to not remember, and remember. House broken into Wednesday, stole my computers, guitars and Ly's expensive camera. Found replacement computers, later

Making progress slowly

The carrots are in the dryer. WHOOOOO do I have a lot of fennel. Any body want some? Don't know what to do with all the sage I havn't even pulled. Chopped off the top of the cherry tree, I hope I don't have to replace it next year, it has a bug. Anyone want to smoke some meat with fresh cherry wood? Now I've got to clean the kitchen. Still gotta blow out the sprinkler lines, sprayed weeds, planted garlic, it's a georgeous day to be outside.

Fall

Cleaning the garden, drying onions, carrots, fennel, making compost, planting garlic, fall house cleaning, checking out cars, sewing for grandkids, recovering from the flu, worrying about my mother whose hurting so bad she's in the hospital. Pancreatic leisons, no idea why. Worrying about my son-in-law going in for surgery, and I can't be there to help. Wishing I had an excuse to fly to Utah and listen to g-kids giggle. Eyes hurt, lots of onions. Long list of things to do and I gotta work tomorrow, and the next day. All I really want to do it play Jubal, all day long and not hurt. Feeling meloncoly.

Diagnoisi

Dr Called Friday, Diagnois, Benign!!
Yeah!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Major stress relief.
He'll be scoped again in 90 days, and then in 60 months, if anything starts showing up in that time, we'll be talking a chemo, as a prevention Apparently line the bladder with something to kill fast growing cells, sounds familiar Supposidly causes irritation, I'll bet.
Starting to feel like like could be back to ?normal? what is normal anyhow?
LO met me in in Boulder and we took the kids up to Nederland to ride the Carousel of Happiness. Had a very good time.
Going to start a flicker account for all the photos.
