my sweetie

I hurt my back on Tuesday, really I think I hurt it on Saturday/Sunday, but it didn't go out until Tuesday. Anyway, I rotated some vertebra in my lower back, went to the chiro after work, she put it back in place, made me able to stand up straight.. walked ever so carefully to my car, got in, sat down, and it moved back out of place.  I was still in the parking lot. ugh.   I got home, barely made it upstairs, and have been in my chair since.  My sweet Steve made me breakfast yesterday, and brought me flowers.  Such a happy thing to look at while sitting in my chair.  And what is it about my Teri Bruce chair that makes it the only comfortable chair when my back is hurt?

He grew them in my front yard, and said Since I couldn't go down to them he would bring them to me.  He is a sweet lovely man.  :-)

Oh, and he moved my yarn shelves from the grandkid/guest room up here. Look:

This pic is a bit dark, I will need to take another one with the light on.  I love to sit on my bed and look at all the lovely colors.  Yes, this is in my bedroom.  Yes, I took out a dresser for it.  Yes, I have a lot of yarn. Yes, my husband loves me.  :-)

David! Big dinner!

David came back from Bible College last night... I was so excited to see him!  Gosh I miss my boys when they are away.  It is so good to see him happy and following the Lord!
He met Eleanor-- he was so cute.  He will make a great Uncle.  :-)  After we got home we had a pie party-- 2 chocolate, 2 pecan and 2 pear.  I was tired.  Although it made me so happy when Larry said how great the house looked.. I worked hard!

Karla and David came for a quick visit to Juneau, it was so great to see them.  We had a big dinner at my house tonight.. there were 23 of us here!  Lots of friends and family, so of course I had us go in the street for some pictures. Sometimes when I see us all out there milling about it amazes me that there are so many of us... I am so blessed to have all these kids and all these friends.  Big families are the best!

A great day

I am quite happy today.  God is good, He never leaves me, He speaks to me. He loves me.  All of my family is saved, and will be in Heaven with me.  What is there to be unhappy about when our eternal life is certain?

I have been in such a funk lately, and today it just all seemed so unimportant.  God is good.  

How about pictures?  

It was another lovely Thursday with God, Bible study-- my boy taught.  :-)  There is so much joy in hearing your son teach about the love of God. 

I held Eleanor and made Robin laugh. 

Robin has the sweetest smile. 

Asleep in my lap again.  I love Thursdays. 

Don't they look alike???

Gosh I love them.  So much. 

Birthdays, babies, fatigue and David

It was Miriah's birthday last week, and same as last year we went to Brian and Lisa's for dinner.  We ate yummy almond tilapia, sweet potato fries, asparagus and the never to be forgotten key lime pie.
I love going to Lisa's house, it is always such a sweet relaxing time, and it is such a joy filled house.

Babies.  I love my sweet granddaughters.. I wish I could hold them everyday..  I did get to hold Eleanor at Church, I love my snuggle time and can't wait till she is smiling and talking more.  Robin was here today, and she was such a good girl.  Lots of smiles for me.  :-)

My fatigue and pain is getting worse; my frustration at not knowing what is wrong with me grows.  I am so tired of doctors and tests.   Anyway.

My David comes home on Saturday!  I am quite excited to see him again, we are gonna have a pie party on Saturday night.  

Pets.  Why do we love them so?  Even when they drive us batty?  Max is a sweetheart, unless Steve is gone and he thinks he is the Alpha and must protect me.  Don't even try and come in my door.  :-))

 Emmy... you were supposed to be my dog, nope, you are Steve's.  Totally.  You're still a sweet old girl.

My sweet Lucy.  You were mine for 14 years.  I loved you.  Then you decided that you didn't like the other cats and the whole house was your litter box.  You were still my girl, and I loved/hated you. I finally made the hard choice and told Steve to take you to the animal shelter.  I couldn't do it, so my sweet husband did it for me.  I cried.  I prayed so much that you would be ok, that someone would take you and love you.  God heard, and you were adopted in less than a week.  God cares so much for us, He listens to our small requests just as much as our big ones.  

Mother's Day

Mother's day for me was 2 days.  Yesterday Steve moved my yarn shelves from the downstairs room to my room.  I am going to turn my craft room into a guest/grandkid room, so the yarn had to move again.  Steve put the shelves up in my room on Friday night, and I put most of the yarn on the shelves Saturday.  I love my yarn! It is so pretty and colorful and yummy.  :-)  I got  a lot done, but it made me really tired.
We took Steve's Mom and sister out for dinner, Larry, Kelly, Robin, Ed and Ken came too.  We ate at MiCasa, it was good, but dairy and garlic don't like me.  Oh well, we had fun.
Today was Church.. awesome as usual.  I love my church-it is such a sweet family to me.
Latecia had Liam on Wednesday, and they came to church today!  Liam is a sweetie, I can't wait to see how he grows up.

After church I went to Fred's, wow is it busy there on Sunday's!  A wonderful sunny drive back home, my I-Pod and I began to cook my spaghetti.  Sometimes I just crave my favorite comfort food.  Erik, Miriah, sweet Eleanor, Jacob and Ken all ate with us.  I took lots of pictures.  I snuggled with Eleanor twice today, once at church during worship and tonight.  Larry, Kelly, Robin and Ed came over later, more pictures.
All in all, a wonderful day.

I went to the neurologist last week, she said I don't have MS.  She doesn't know what is wrong with me, so I'm still in limbo land.  God knows, and He will get me through anything.

I am going to buy my plane ticket to Cordova tomorrow... 3 nights and 4 days with just me and yarn and 3IG.  Bliss.
I love love love being a Nan.
