I've been tagged by at Mary over at Mary's Writing Nook on the 8 facts/habits of mine! OK, I probably have some habits you all don't know about However, there are rules that are supposed to be followed:Rules:In the 8 facts about yourself, you share 8 things that your readers don’t know about you. Then at the end you tag at least 8 other bloggers to keep the fun going.

1. I drink Diet Coke for breakfast! Now don't you be saying any thing I just like my caffeine cold and you all like yours hot!!

2. I have saved all my driver's license but one!

3. I use to love to chew gum and pop it! Drove my Daddy crazy!

4. Love to get mail and I use to be at the post office early to get it from my box down there! One day my oldest daughter Carrie said, " MOM, what do you think you are going to get in there a proposal of marriage????? I said, "Well, you never know when someone my have seen me from a far and said, I must have that lady as my own!!!! LOL :) I was just trying to be funny with her!! But on the other hand who Knows!!!

5.After I wash the dishes I always get a large glass of water and drink it all down!

6.I love Cozy Mystery books! I like to see if I can figure out Who Done IT"

7.I use to love going bare foot in the house, now I can't stand it if I don't have socks on.

8.I love studying maps and seeing where everything is and where towns and stuff is located.

There I did this and it wasn't so hard at all!! Nancy is back up and I need to do stuff for her, so I am going to not give this out to any one but if you want to do this let me know and I will come read what you have written!!

Not A Good Report

Look what I got in the mail from Mary!! How cute is this!!! Thanks Mary!!Friendship is a light in the darkness!! This sure did cheer me up and I am so glad to have all your friendship's out here in Blogland! This was just what I needed I was so down this afternoon and this helped me!

On not a happy note tonight, we took Nancy to the Dentist Specialist today and we didn't get a good report. He said he is unable to take her to the hospital and take any teeth out because of all the infections in and under her teeth due to her lupus and her lung disease. They took a new round of ex-rays and it showed that in the past year her teeth have deteriorated really bad. She is on very strong medicine for infections.

He said he wasn't sure she would make it through surgery and he didn't want to risk her life. He is calling another dentist to see if he could take out at least 2 teeth by a local.

She needs 8 teeth out and another 8 filled. He said he didn't want to stir up her infections and bacteria to go through out her body. So he didn't know if the other dentist will want to risk this or not. They are going to talk this over.

I keep thinking she is better but really she just isn't any worse still a very sick lady.

I was very upset tonight and couldn't post when I first came home because like I said I think things are doing better and then really are not very good at all. I sure would appreciate your prayers for her and me, too. I try always to keep my blog and post on a positive note but tonight is not one of them!

Posting three days in a Row!!!

Flower Glitter

I love this basket of flowers!! I have one almost like it! When we took the picture of my new bookcase the basket of flowers was in that picture! I have spent a whole lot of time looking for that picture and I can't find it!! I just kept looking and I found it!!! Much later!!! lol I knew I had this stored somewhere!!

Well, is this neat or what!!! Posting again!! Three days in a row!! I love it!!

We take Nancy to the dentist tomorrow afternoon so I would like prayer for her. Please pray this goes well. She has a lung disease caused by her lupus. Since this dentist takes his patients to the hospital and they are put to sleep this is a concern for us. Our Doctor will talk to the dentist and then to her other Dr.'s so all should go okay. We are just talking about what needs to be done tomorrow, no work on her teeth until later!

Some of you all sure did get a lot of Snow!! Whoa!! Mary over at Mary's Writing Nook got a LOT!! She has pictures of this and it is awesome! Mama Bear over at Bears in Exile got a lot to but it warmed up and melted But they don't get that much snow in Memphis TN so they were pretty happy for a while!!

What Do the Flowers You Pick say About You?

What These Carnations Say About You

You have a distinct style... one that many people find fascinating. You are charming and alluring. People are drawn to you - and you are very popular. You never forget a name or a face. And the people you love are always on your mind

What Do The Flowers You Pick Say About You?

Hello again! I love being able to say this on the very next time I have posted the day before!! How neat is this!! I saw this little quiz on my home page and of course I had to go check it out! I love doing these quizzes! But I am afraid I do forget names really bad!! I have to make a big effort to remember people's name after I have met them!

One embarrassing moment was when I was a greeter at church and a lady who is my friend now, came up to me and said "Hi,Carolyn" and I could not remember her name for any thing! She said try this "Carol" as in Carolyn" ! Did I feel silly! Yes, I did! I never forgot her name after that!

Karen and Kelly went to church this morning not at the church we all go to but to the one my grand son belongs too. He was preaching this morning and he did a fine job. I called Karen and Kelly to see how it went and they told me real good! Nancy and I didn't make it in fact Nancy is still asleep at almost 2:00 in the afternoon so I know she isn't feeling so good today.

I didn't get out to visit every one on my side bar list yesterday so I will stop posting and go visit some more! This might take a day or two for me to get caught up!!

Online Again!

Karen brought the laptop home last night and it went out first thing!! Well, Grrrrr! She has called the person who fixed it and they will do more work on it for free if it doesn't work! It seems to be working this evening!

I don't know where to start! I guess I should Thank everyone who has stopped by when I wasn't able to get out and about to leave comments!! I really do appreciate every one so much for stopping by and cheering me up!!! This was so kind of all of you!!

Thanks to every one who sent me a E-mail Valentine!! It is really hard to get your mail easily on a Wii!!! Understatement!! The ones that Nancy got in the mail she loved!!

Thanks for praying for her, too! The Doctor office called and said her report came back and she needed some medicine for her thyroid so Kelly has been out to Wal-Mart to pick it up! Good news for me my blood work was not to bad and the sugars looked okay!! That is always a good thing!!

Please keep my friend Cinda in your prayers. Karen called me this afternoon and said her blood sugar had fell to 35 last night and that is not good!! She is home from the hospital but she is still in such pain with her feet! Thanks for praying.

Good News! We Should have the laptop back this week!!!

Karen heard from the place that has Kelly's laptop and we should have it home by the end of the week!!! I am out at our library posting this so I can let you know I will be back in blogland soon!!!

Nancy and I had to go for our check up at the local Doctors this morning. I think I didn't write it right when I posted the last time!! I meant she didn't have to see that Doctor again until June! She has pulmonary, psychiatrist, rheumatologist and a stomach specialist she sees also!! That is why Kelly's works part time at the library so she is able to take Nancy to all of these appointments! We have appointments for April and May and June for her! She bit down on a piece of candy yesterday and pulled a crown out......Her dentist has turned her over to a specialist who puts the patients to sleep at the hospital for hard to care patients like Nancy. But our Dr. this morning said he will have to talk to this Dentist first and coordinate with all of the Doctors before she can be put to sleep because of her lung disease! So you know I always appreciate your prayers for her!!! See you soon I hope!!!

Posting Out at Karen's!

Girly Comments & Graphics

I am out at Karen's house this evening posting on her computer!! What a joy this is to be able to see what is going on!! When I post with the Wii it is on our TV screen and it is hard to see the little letters even when I press the button to make them bigger!!
Today we took Nancy to the Doctor and she doesn't have to return to this Dr. until the first of June!! When we left the Dr's we stopped at Culver's for Butter Burgers!!! Oh, my they are so good!! Nancy just loves them and so do I!! She loved it that people left little comments for her saying something about her toy dog she got for Valentine Day! Maybe when everything is back to normal when we get laptop home we can post a picture of Nancy and her Dog.

Karen met us at Culver's and we all went to the hospital to see my friend Cinda who had to go to the ER on Saturday night! Her feet had swollen up as big as balloons and she was in intense pain! They are still very swollen and she is in a lot of pain but they are finding out what is wrong. Nancy had given Karen $5.00 of her money to buy flowers for Cinda! Cinda loves Nancy and for the past 2 years Cinda has sent her a Cheer Up card every week with out missing one week!!! She always writes a little note for me too!! She is so good this way!! Karen got Cinda a sack of goodies!! She loved it!! Please keep Cinda in your prayers! Thanks!!

I guess every one knows I am missing them!! I have visited a few of you all tonight but now blogger is not publishing my comments so I am going home!!!
Sandy over at Flip Flop Floozie has the funniest post ever!! I just laughed and laughed!! If you get time go read this!!

Monday's Post! What a week!

It feels like I have been gone for weeks instead of a few days! I have missed every one so much.This is what has been going on around here for the past few days!

On Thursday evening I washed up a whole bunch of dishes and then I saw a bunch of bowls full of food that I needed to throw away. Now I know you can't put a lot in the garbage disposal....... But I must have had a senior moment because I put noodles and more pasta noodles and some other stuff right on down! When Kelly got home from work at 9:00 and went to her room..... OH my what a mess she found on the floor! Water everywhere!! and noodles! Kelly cleaned this all up but we didn't wash any more dishes. On Saturday Kelly rented a shampoo deal from Wal-Mart and cleaned her rugs. She came up stairs and run a little water and it backed up again! She said it is time for Plan B and I called the plumber on a Saturday!! He came and roti rooted the lines and didn't charge for it being a Saturday!!


Every thing was great except we couldn't find our Kitten, really Karen's kitten! Jey, Sofia, and the great grand kids were here too! So we all were in the hunt for the cat!! I will say I kept telling every one that I thought the kitty had climbed in the couch and was under the seat where I sit. Both Jey and Kelly had run their figures under the seat going Kitty Kitty and she didn't try to get them! So they looked up and down the street and in the house! We all had been praying and trying to make Karen feel better and I prayed one more time and Jey was sitting on the floor by me and he said Grandma does that deal work on your end of the couch and can we lift up your chair and I said, Yes! He lifted up the chair and He said THERE'S the kitty laying there asleep!! He yelled out the door for Karen and Kelly who were out looking for her and Karen was overjoyed to have not lost her cat!! The rest of us were too!!
We had pizza and when Jey and Sofia went home so did the Wii and I didn't have internet!! He brought it back last night!!


You all know that I have fell behind on giving out awards and doing Meme!! I am not sure when we will get the laptop back but you can't copy and paste with a Wii so I will have to do all that when I have the laptop again!
They are calling for snow again the evening!! NO kidding! But it warms up and melts the next day!! If the key board holds up I will go out now and visit you all! But if I have to point and click the Wii stick and type in one letter at a time, I will just be reading your post!! It is just too hard for me to point and click each letter!!!


Ok, Nancy is in here watching me write to my blogging friends and she is wanting me to tell every one that our neighbor Dave sent one of his boys over here a week ago Sunday with a huge plush Valentine toy doggie that is red and white for her! She loves it and was so happy to get this from them!! The boys picked it out for her. It is sitting on her bed!

Kelly hooked up the Key board! New Post on Wednesday!

Kelly hooked up the key board before leaving for work!! Some times it works and then again it doesn't! I will try to get a post finished while it is working. Lets see Nancy went over to KU Med Center on Friday and all went real good. She did have a bladder infection which I had to get a prescription filled for her. We are all feeling better at last!!
It is has been So cold and it snows about every third day or so! Snow is in the forcast for tomorrow. I think we are all ready for Spring to come!

The Girls took the Wii up to Jey's and Sofia on Sunday afternoon and I guess they all had one fun afternoon and evening! In fact Karen didn't know if she could pry the Wii away from Jey! Little Valerie was a cutie playing with it! They said there is a land you go to that it is pretty and safe and no enemy's are there and the little ones can just have a big time! I just reread this and I thought someday we have a land to go to where it is pretty and safe and no enemies to watch out for and a loving Savior to care for us and all our dear loved ones who are already there! Wow! Any way when I read that, that is what came to my mind!!

Today is our friend Sandy's Birthday over at Flip Flop Flooize's! I can't put up a pretty card for her on this post but I would if I could! If you get a minute go over and wish her a Happy Birthday!!
I have a prayer request for my friend Cinda who's Mom was one of my dear friends. Cinda has infection in her feet and is suffering something terrible. Mary's daughter Michelle had surgery yesterday and Mary has an update on her blog at Mary's Writing Nook. Thank you for praying!

Karen took Kelly's laptop in yesterday to have it fixed! I can hardly wait to have it back! But on the other hand I have read a couple of books while I have been with out a computer! The Wii is wonderful for letting me get things posted and I can read the blogs if I zoom in and scan down and sometimes you don't catch all that has been writen but you get enough to get the idea of what is going on!!
I sure am addicted to blogging for sure!! I have missed every one!!

Good News!

Kelly's laptop is going to the fix it place on Tuesday!! After church tomorrow the Wii is going up to the grandkids and great-grandkids house for a afternoon of fun with a grandson who is/was a nintendo-holic! I didn't blog today, because I have to have Kelly here to hook up the USB hub so I can use the key board!!! We are to get snow in the afternoon so I can't post my stuff for Monday. So, I won't be going out to Karen's house. I will catch up a little later. Love and Hugs Grams

Glo and Chuck Thanks!!! or a pretty valentine I can't post these until I can get out to Karen's house over the weekend to be able to use a real computer!! But on this Thankful Thursday I sure am thankful to be able to get on the net and visit my friends! I am thankful we are all starting to feel better!! I am Thankful Nancy didn't get this junk!

Nancy just got home from the beauty shop! She got a hair cut and boy does she look a lot better! She got valentines in the mail and this made her so happy today!

I read the best post over at Sandy's the other day about Summer time back in the 50's and early 60's! It really was like that back then on a hot lazy summer day! If you have time go on over to Flip Flop Flooize's and read this! You can find her on my side bar. I am not able to copy and paste on a wii!!

Totally awesome news for Grams and blogland.... she's BACK!!!!!

hey guess what we did for MOM aka Grams... We parted out an old mac of mine and were able to get a keyboard, usb hub and extra cabling so she can sit on the couch and blog... now if we can just keep the kitten from chewing and chasing the cords!!

Kelly and Karen

Thank You Kids! This is going to be so much better!!! I will be able to post and go and leave commets! Yea! I did read a lot of blogs today and enjoyed them all! It about made me nuts not to be able to comment and tell you how much I liked your post!!

This is Not Grams blogging...

Grams wants you to know that I (karen) am blogging for her. She wants you to know that she would love to come visit each of you at your blogs... She is reading them, but it takes her way too long to type in the comments one letter at a time.

We are working on finding a place to get Kelly's computer fixed!!

Love Grams

What Time Of Day Are You? Prayer For Carson

You are breakfasty, like a pile of pancakes on a Sunday morning that have just the right amount of syrup, so every bite is sweet perfection and not a soppy mess. You are a glass of orange juice that's cool, refreshing, and not overly pulpy. You are the time of day that's just right for turning the pages of a newspaper, flipping through channels, or clicking around online to get a sense of how the world changed during the night. You don't want to stumble sleepily through life, so you make a real effort to wake your brain up and get it thinking. You feel inspired to accomplish things (whether it's checking something off your to-do list or changing the world), but there's plenty of time for making things happen later in the day. First, pancakes.

I found this over at Julie's Jules Journal It looked like fun so I thought why not!! This says I am a morning person! Well for years and years I was but now I am more a night person!! I go to bed around 9:00 or 10:00 pm but I don't go to sleep for hours! This is my down time!! One thing is right I do love pancakes! This reminds me of when Kelly was a little girl and she called pancakes pattycakes! I thought that was so cute!

I was just over at Linda's blog This and That and she had some bad news. Linda said,

I received some horrible news this evening from my daughter who is pregnant.

Carson, her first born, fell off a slide today and is now in intensive care. The CAT scan showed a dark spot on his brain which the doctor said may be internal bleeding. They are awaiting an MRI. He has a concussion and is very lethargic.

She asked for prayer from all of us and to pray for Carson and her daughter Nicole. She was leaving for her daughters home she said at first light! All of will be in prayer for her precious grandson and their family and for Nicole as she gives birth. Thanks

Thankful My Blogging Friends are OK!!

Girly Comments & Graphics

I think we all are just about ready for Spring! When I saw on TV the terrible tornado's that hit in the South, I thought about Karen and Mama Bear! Then I heard that there was warnings where Denise and Lib live! I am sure that there are more of you all who were taking cover last night. Sandy made it home okay but she had a layover and was a day or so getting home from IL.

I want to thank all the kind people who passed out awards and gave me some too!! I will past these out on Meme Monday!

We are all starting to feel like ourselves again! Thank you for your prayers!! Nancy is still doing good! This is a real blessing! Oh, I was over at Tammy's and she found out that Blogger knows that Spell Check is out of order and are working like crazy to get it fixed! I for one will be very happy for that!!!!

Meme Monday # 2

I found this great idea over at Livin With Me! Melanie has a good idea I think, so we don't get so far behind on our meme and our award giving out to other bloggers. Here is what she said about this :

Meme Monday #2
Welcome to Meme Monday #2. The idea behind Meme Monday is that we save up all of our tags and awards throughout the week and then post them each Monday. Then you come here, to my blog, and sign Mr. Linky to let us know you’ve done your post. This way we won’t fall behind on our memes and awards and we’ll be able to check out the posts that everyone else has done

Ok, I will do this meme that Melanie gave me

Here’s the rules for the tag she gave me.
(1) Link to the person that tagged you. (2) Post the rules on your blog. (3) Share six non-important things/habits/quirks about yourself. (4) Tag two random people at the end of your post by linking to their blogs. (5) Let each random person know that they have been tagged by leaving a comment on their site.

And so- here’s my six things. 1. I have never bit my nails.2. I don't like garlic in Chilli. 3.I love olive's Black or Green! 4. I can't stand the taste of nutmeg in most things we fix. 5. I have saved all on my drivers license since I got my first one in the early 70's except for one!! This year I had to turn it in and I had make a copy before I left home!! 6. I didn't learn how to drive until I was in my early 30's!! and that my blogging friends is Post all on its own!!
I will pass this on to any one who wants to do this!! I think every one has done this one!! If you do this one Please tell me and I will come over and read it! Next week I will try and and do another one I was given a while back by Mary.

This is a lovely vintage Valentine I received from Anni over at Hootin'Anni Thank you so much for this delightful Valentine! I want to share this with every one on my blog roll!! Or if you read my blog. Please take this and be my Blog Buddy and Be My Valentine!

We are starting to feel a little better and so far Nancy is okay!! She takes cell-cept for her lupus and she has had a shot for the flu ! But this is some new strain this year! Can someone tell me how to tell Blogger that their Spell Check doesn't work???
