Mother's Day

I know that Sunday is Mother's Day,and even thou my real mom is still alive,and thankful for that,I still had 2 mothers that are in Heaven and I miss them so very much.One was a Paternal Aunt and one was a Maternal  Aunt whom I just lost last May.I stayed with her almost everyday from December 18 2010 till day and night from April  till May when we lost her last year.My other aunt stayed with us alot  while my brothers and me were growing up.And we stayed alot with my aunt that I lost last year.Anyone can be a mom and then there are  TRUE BLUE Mothers I  call them,and yes I had 3.I have a flower basket pieces of a quilt to make that my aunt gave me last year to finish.I can't do it yet,and even thou I speak of them today on here my heart aches from the loss and I do know they are better off where they are,I still can' help but miss them.I know she wants me to start and finish it and maybe I will after this weekend.I told one of my daughters' this morning I want to sew something so maybe she is pushing me to.And I know that my other aunt is the one who pushed me into tatting,she could needlepoint anything.
And I got out today,YEAH,lololo went to Hobby Lobby this morning,got thread,more beads,and a paper mache box actually a jewelry box and scrap book paper to make my oldest granddaughter for her birthday the first of June.And of course Mother's Day gifts.I do believe I walked the entire store and was ready to sit down when we left.And when I find my cord for the camera I have pics to put on here,me and that cord do not get along,hahaha.
But I do hope that EVERYONE has a great Mother's Day,and remember if you had a Great Aunt as good and lucky as I was remember her this Mother's Day also,I just bet you will get a big SMILE and HUG.And what more could anyone ask for.

Busy and Down

Have been sort of busy,for me normally.Nothing really,  just seem to not find a way to find something finished that I start.My mother's birthday was Monday,made her the doily,my second and last for awhile.Been working on trying to start on tatted earrings for my daughters for Mother's day.Made a quilted table runner finally,and just trying to figure out how to get one thing done to get started on the 2nd.Any suggestions??? School on the last few days,more to do,will have my granddaughter home more,which is ever so fine to me,love her company.Life seems to be pretty simple if I can just get my timing on the right schedule,think it is just that I want to escape from town and really pretty much need to.Got a cabin reserved for Memorial Day Weekend and that can't be soon enough.
Pretty much over my fall,the bruise on my arm still looks pretty wicked,but the finger and knee are almost healed,got to get the ole cane out again,even thou people give you that look,sure what's your problem.And really it is a disgusting look sometime.I know that there are alot of well lets say UNEDUCATED people who have no idea what MS is and causes,but will leave that for that for now.

And remember the American Red Cross with all the tornadoes and all.And most of all SMILE.

The Weekend

Well  it is a start of another week,and it is so pretty here.The weekend brought visitors from Atlanta Georgia,my granddaughters' other grandfather and uncle.And she had a great weekend  with them,and I was happy to see them knowing how she feels about him since loosing her Nana earlier this year,and it really seemed to help him also.I again never really got much accomplished,still recovering from my wicked fall,and still   very sore.And now my finger hurts worse since the swelling is going out of it.
I did get started on a quilted table runner.And I have got to get out this afternoon because it is my mothers' 72nd birthday.I had all intention of getting the table runner ready for her birthday but with company I don't think  so.
And with company this weekend it made me miss  Nana Pat,we had such good times when we got together.We would laugh, cry and then laugh more for crying.But I do miss her so much and miss having visitors like we use to.It was all worth it now,and I even knew it back when.It is a shame that we NEVER  have to enjoy company and take the time now,but with the loss of loved ones that usually happens.And Nana Pat miss you again,I know they wanted to come and see little Ms Lil  before the next weekend being Mother's Day.
Got to get busy for the next weekend if at all possible,got to get a dryer,since mine has also expired.And with whatever you have this week,be it working,crafting,or hopefully enjoying LIFE,remember to stop and smell the flowers and then Smile!!!

If Anyone Has MS_____

If anyone has MS knows that falling is a fact of life,well I did that just last night,and hard.I tried to catch myself with the Dining Room Table,big MISTAKE,have a nice deep bruise on my left arm,cuts and a sprained finger on my right,and knee,well it is cut and swollen.TODAY I did nothing,and I mean nothing.I have got so much to do for Mothers' Day,and my mom's birthday is Monday,so I have got to feel better.I have a doily only half made,which is better than half not,lololo so I have got to get my right hand going at some point this weekend.But I have got my Facebook page up and going finally.I had thought and thought and figured I would finally,I am so tired of Facebook,but if I can get more help I will and hope I do.I want to keep a POSITIVE ATTITUDE with all this and even with the set back last night I know I will get busy.I have got Sachet bags to make from burlap and quilting material,earrings to make,but I know I can do it,I have as my husband says,"the BIG MAN" upstairs behind me and to guide me.My flowers are doing so good,and yes I talk to them.So HOPE and PRAY all have a great weekend I plan to make pics and put on here what I get done this weekend.And Remember the AMERICAN RED CROSS,they really need it this time of year,and Rem. if I can still SMILE after being down you can too. )

Has Been FOREVER

My dryer has been dying on me for a couple of weeks,and if anyone has a husband like mine who I now know is either STONE Deaf,or doesn't want to hear,but it would sound like a space rocket going out into space,well no longer does it.I think we can lay it to rest.But that isn't all,I was doing my second load with 2 more to go,and  yelp she went,and I went,outside to HANG 4 LOADS of laundry.And I will NOT do that again,tonight is utter exhaustion.But the wonderful part was today was HIS DAY OFF,oh aren't we lucky.So really I am not sure if he just don't care or don't hear,either way this is all I have to say today.So good-night all,I will drag on here MAYBE tomorrow.

Nothing New

Today was a very to normal day for me.The only task I did was to cut a "new" shirt for a granddaughter to wear to a school program this week.Yes had to cut a new shirt up,it is a country-western themed program so the only "plaid" top was in the Ladies section,size small.I cut 5 inches or more off the bottom so she could wear another top under it and roll the "new" one up at the bottom,so yes school systems you are not the only one who had work to do,plus she knew "mamaw" could make it better for the program.We make alot of Halloween costumes and have made other outfits for other programs work better.
Yesterday evening I did some "Cleaning" under our deck,it has 2 swings and is much cooler under there than on the deck.And when there is a nice breeze it is so nice under there for me.We use it so much more than our deck,guess you can call it our patio.It has pea-gravel and we keep our smoker under there also with other outdoor furniture.Even with a screened in porch on the deck,we love and use the area so much more.Got to get  more annuals for my baskets and going to fill up our small pond liner with dirt and put annuals in it,I know I said we don't use alot of annuals,we don't and having them in certain areas is the main idea also,less foot-steps the better for me.So this weekend it is back to either the home-garden store or to the home-town feed store,which I do prefer,helping the small business person is the WHOLE idea when we can.
And again I ask that you donate to the American Red Cross,I am not affliated with them in any way,just do know they are ALWAYS the first there,and with all the tornadoes please remember.Plus they do help get any service personal home when there is immediate death in the family.PLUS Smile,because GOD does love you.
