Saturday

Have you ever had one of those days when it would have been better not to wake up? So far that is my day today. When I got up and got in the shower I nearly slipped twice inside the shower. Then getting out I slipped again but didn't fall, but banged my leg. OK, I can make it. Pured some coffee, treated myself to some bacon and eggs. Burned some of the bacon in the microwave. Took my blood sugar, it's OK. Gave myself a shot if insulin and took what I thought were my pills. (David and I each have a weekly pill organizer and they are different colors not to get them mixed up). Drank my cup of coffee and came into kitchen to unload the dishwasher, I saw my pills on the cabinet and not on the table. When I looked close all of David's pills for today were gone, and mine were not. I called him, (he is doing a "Together We Build" house)asking had he taken his medicine this morning and he said NO! I ask him if there were any pills that might hurt me and he said no, you may get real sluggish and just keep an eye on my blood sugar. So my mourning goes. Am I ready for the loony bin? I think so.

Happy Anniversary to David and Becky today. Seven years.

Virginia Tech

The event at Virginia Tech yesterday brought back my own memories I had rather not remember. I was two blocks from the UT tower on that horrible day in 1966. I was attending Beauty School. The police came to tell us we had to stay inside away from the window. I couldn't get a phone call out to my parents, due to traffic on all lines. We could hear the shots, people crying and just chaos. I was safe then, but today it makes me mindful of how short life can be. We need to make the best of our lives and live it to the fullest and always look to Jesus. May God bless these family's who have lost loved ones and comfort them in this time of sorrow.

Ryan & Shannon

Our babies are home. Audra called late this afternoon to let us know they were home. They are doing good. No pictures as of yet. Will post them when I get some.

Man's Best Friend

Winnie, Just in case you haven't met is our little long haired dachshund. That was husbands retirement present. She quite attached to husbands hip. When husband is gone on one of his hauling trips she misses him like crazy. She sleeps with him every night. If he gets up she wakes up and sits upright until he comes back to bed. Last Thursday night things went a muck. Husband was gone and I decided to sleep in the bed to see if it still hurt my back (it did). At 3:00 am I got out of bed to sleep in recliner. Winnie did not wake up. At 9:00 am the next morning I went into the bedroom and there she was still sleeping in the same place. She must have heard me walk in because she set up and looked around, it was as if she didn't know where she was for a second. She got down and went to the back door as if nothing happened. What a crazy dog.

I was told by her Vet that there are two kinds of unconditional love, the first is God and the second is a dog. Spell God backwards.

FANTASTIC

Hoover Floor Mate

I have found the most wonderful hard floor cleaning machine. It works great and I can do it myself. Tile floor now clean. Hooray!

Thank You

My grandchildren are the most precious things in the world. I love them all. Right now I am only able to see the two who live here in San Angelo, and so I get a grandchild fix about every other day or so. When we left Becky & David's on Sunday Justin gave me a hug and a kiss and said "thank you for coming and playing". How sweet & polite.

Easter Egg Hunt

What a wonderful Easter this year. We had freezing rain and snow, but that didn't stop the Easter Bunny from leaving eggs at the Bray household. Cameron just waited for Justin to gather up most of the eggs and then he took them out of Justin's basket and added them to his. You can see Becky's reaction in the background. David and Becky fixed a wonderful meal and we had a really good time.

Christmas? Easter?

Where was all of this snow at Christmas? We have the biggest snowflakes coming down I have ever seen along with sleet of course. Good thing Easter Eggs are different colors, easier to find in the snow. Back to kitchen organizing.

Stay Warm

Holy Smokes!

What is with this weather? Wednesday the pool temp. was 77.
We have always had our first jump in on Easter Sunday, but not this year. We are supposed to have snow. Something is all messed up it is EASTER not CHRISTMAS. Build a fire and put the electric blanket back on the bed. Tomorrow will be a good scrapping day.
