Sadness Abounds

This world has run amok. So much sadness,so many problems, so many people arguing about this and that then Norway comes and shows that it isn't really important who votes what and who gets what. WHEN WILL WE GET IT? When will we put people and their needs first not I can not lose this argument. I"m right they are wrong.

Great Day

It was a great day today. Spent time with family at one sons wedding. Two of my sons came up with their wives and my oldest great grand daughter. I haven't had a day like today for a long time. Four more of my great grand children were in the wedding. What a blessed day.

The Fourth Of July

A great day to celebrate a great country. I am American and proud of it. Is my country perfection no; but as an American I have the right and am free to say that. Our government is made up of people and so there can be errors made. But let there be no mistake : United States of America is a great country.

Hi Friends

Haven't posted in a long time sorry. My life just went on. My plants that bloom early are just about gone. My peony plants bloomed so beautiful this year. I only had one all white iris this year. My great grand daughter took the top of one of my oriental lilies. Waiting for the day lilies to bloom. I have 3 tomato plants,2 roses,and 2 flower boxes on my porch.
My son is getting married again in a couple of weeks. Excitement for brief time. My life is very dull and days go by that I speak to no one. I read blogs and facebook but don't always comment.

Still Here

Not much to post. Just trying to get my health squared away. Not doing much or having any visitors. Did see an old friend of over 20 years for lunch last week. I guess I should be thankful that my life is dull and I don't ever have to worry about not getting the chores of the day done.

Memorial Day

This is a day of remembrance and a day to honor the people that gave the ultimate for us. But I have a request that we honor the ones that came home hurt and broken. I also think we should honor the families that have given so much. Too many to honor? I don't think so.

Yea Pills Working

God answered prayers and the pills are working and my body is getting used to them. No emergency room for me.

How High Can It Go?

Well I found out it can go higher since last Wednesday. It surprised me when I had someone check it on Sunday. Monday called and I was making trip about hour later. Today its down hope it stays that way. Its in the genes.

No Luck

Well these pills haven't done any better. I am getting upset but I know that doesn't help.
We will just have to try something else. Joy Joy.

Changes

Today my doctor changed three of my meds. Stop three and start three different ones. I am a difficult patient I guess. It isn't what I want to be but I am. We will see what we see. The doctor is working hard with and for me.

Days

I have good days-bad days and then ONE OF THOSE DAYS. Yesterday was definitely ONE OF THOSE DAYS.
I made it thru and hoping to put it behind me and have a great day. Hope you do to.

Strange Mix of Days

This is quite a week. The weather is crazy,temp changes maxed. What can happen in weather is happening. You have to feel bad for the people dealing with it. So many people interested in the wedding on Friday. The news can be good or bad just depends on what part of it your interested in. I am sitting back and letting what happens happen. I've decided that there is little I can affect except when it pertains to me personally. Hope you all have the best possible days ahead. There is a plan and we have to remember that.

Sad Day Today

Today is a sad day for me as I say good bye to a dear friend. It will be sad for her family also but Ionne is in a much better place than we are. She is in heaven and she has her mom who just arrived up there less than a month ago and her good friend Robin who has been there for a short time longer. To see Jesus face to face, how can we be sad for Ionne? RIP friend.

Spring???

It is 25F right now. My neighbors irises are up a good four inches and they say chance of snow fluries tomorrow night. Good old Wisconsin weather leaves you guessing as seasons change.

RIP

Ionne, You left so quickly shocking your family and me. You were a great woman that loved her family but still had love for others. Your children and grandchildren were blessed by you. Ed and you were making plans for camping this summer. Your family and friends were looking forward to doing it. YOU WILL BE MISSED!

Spring Day

This morning I expected to see rain or snow when I awoke. But I saw a beautiful bright sunrise.
Of course it is snowing pretty good now. But that sunrise can't be taken away from me. I haven't seen too many lately maybe that is why this seemed so beautiful.

But what a way to start a new week.

Life Goes On

In the last few weeks I have been dealing with a large number of sickness of family and deaths of friends and in family of friends. It makes you thankful for the skill of some doctors and the power of that dreadful Cancer in others. But we go on thankful for the people that were helped and saved. And for some their suffering is over. God's plan is at work and we can't always understand. But we can't give up, just have faith and go on.

Weather Important?

When you are retired as long as I have been you tend not to be too worried about the weather in your area. You don't need to leave the comfort of your home. As long as you have heat and food you sit smugly and let it pass.

But lately the weather has been something to think about as it has affected millions of people in many places. Near and far people have suffered. I haven't had family hurt by it that I know of.
As I listen to the snow plow outside I have to conclude that weather is important.

STAY SAFE!

Life Goes On

No one has a perfect life and what is going on around you and in this world may not be to your liking but rise above it. Some people will never change, some battles will never be won and politics will continue to mess up. Take the good days and enjoy them. Bad days only last 24 hours. Pray and get on with it.
MY SPEECH FOR THE DAY!

Winter Is Back

The snow is coming down covering up all the roads and grass . I suspect it is going to be a little messy around here. My mind says its winter but my heart says I want warmth and sun. This is the worst part of the year cold warm wet dry. The makings of sickness and bad attitudes. I will survive but I wish I didn't have to put up with it.
