CHATTING OVER COFFEE

     

                                                         Chatting Over Coffee Friday

    Wow it has been a while since I have sat down and filled you all in are what has been happening in my corner of the world. Where do I start. I will start on up dating you on my mom.

  This past April my mom tripped over the rug and broke her hip. After the hospital stay they sent her to a care home for 3 weeks. There she had PT  twice a day. They  helped her to learn to balance herself again . She couldn't stand on the broken hip side , so she leaned a lot. We brought her home and she was in the wheel chair for about six weeks, then her Doctor told her to start PT again. So twice a week I took her to PT there she started walking with a cane and got her out of the wheelchair. Now she only uses it in the middle of the night when she wants to be sneaking and go get a peanut butter sandwich . Not that I deny her a peanut butter sandwich . I think she just likes the sneaking part. As of Tuesday of this week the Doctor told her that she could quit PT and start going to the pool whit me and work out there. Mom is so much better that she has been doing a little walking without her cane. It kind of scares me to see her wobble like that. Maybe in Dec they will take the 3 screws in her hip out they give her a lot of pain. Which I has seen on the x-rays and my hip hurt when I saw them. They are huge. Plus they have backed out a bit . Yikes. Will keep you updated.

    My Daughter Paulina moved in with me in April, with my 3 grand kids. What a house full that was. She got her self a really cut A-frame house that is just the next driveway up. I can see her front porch from mine. She moved in on Oct.1  inside is all knotty pine and it is beautiful, comes with about 15 acres that ought to make my Sunny Boy happy. He is the most active kid I have ever seen. He loves to go out with his Papa , they fish, they go for walks in the woods, they split and stack wood together. For being only four, he sure can fling a piece of wood. He just climbs up into the back of the truck and starts throwing it out , when he is done he jumps out sits down on a log and pulls the handle on the log-splitter. He also climbs on every thing and has toys all across the yard. What a boy he is.  My 15 year old grand-daughter Rose is a TEENAGER and every word of raising a teenager is true. We have crisis form can't find socks, too boyfriends not calling, homework, pimples , bad hair days, to dirty tennis shoes. She plays JV volley ball. After that is over she wants to play basketball. She is going all the time . My middle grand-daughter is 9 and she catches frogs like no one else can. she stand there real still then pounces like a Cat and she has a frog. She always lets then go. She reads to me from the Scary Weenies book. It's funny stuff there. She reads to me from other books too, and she is always there to watch TAPS with me. My son-in law is working in North Dakota , soon he will have his CDL, then maybe he will see what he can find in MT. Wish I was young enough to work the oil fields of ND , money to be made there.
  My grand-kids are Loud, they run up and down the hall way,2 of them are always hungry,there is laundry everywhere. Lord how I love them and miss them. I know they only live next driveway up.

      Marty was laid off again this past summer so he went on the fires across this state of MT.

He made money to keep us going and he had fun. He loves being out there fighting fires. Helping people. He did miss our 27 anniversary, he did call me, So that was nice. When he got back we did go out and buy ourselves a 40 inch flat screen for our gift to each other. Wow I can see the tops of peoples heads now, and there is no line in the middle of their bodies. So this is what everyone has been talking about for years. Marty went back to work building log homes and right now he is in Sun Valley Idaho on a job, he will be home Sunday. 
  He stills builds Bows oh he has in interview in the TRAD'S ARCHERY WORLD magazine so check it out.He hunts when he can , which I think is a lot. So he is a happy guy.

   That brings us back to me. I have been here at the house most of my time . Crocheted a new Afghan and now I am working on one for my bed. So look for them soon on my face book page of" I made this", to see the pictures of it when I am done. I thing it is beautiful. Not done yet almost. When that is finished , I think I will start on a baby blanket ( I think it is a girl this time) " NOT MY DAUGHTER PAULINA".  I have also been writing some short stories you can read them here on my blog. I have also started back on my painting with oils, done some bead work. I have also been working on myself. Wait till the end of the year, to find out what has been going on with that. I have been expanding my mind, reading more books , drinking more tea ( cause I am out of COFFEE) Thanks Sis for the mint leaves, send more hot peppers please. I am finished for now , so love to you all.

Till my next talking, Peace and Happiness
