David's haircut...LOL

David has been after me to cut his hair lately but I wasn't in the mood to do it. Well tonight I did. I asked how short and he wanted it done on the 1/2 clipper, so that's what he got!! He should have had me cut it this short during the HOT summer!! I sure wish I could do this, especially when I am having a hot flash!! Or as I call them, "my own personal summers"...LOL

Well here he is half way done.



Back of his head..



And all done!!!



Of course all next week it will be in the 90's, so I am sure he will be glad it's short!!!

Have a great Sunday!!

God Bless~

My birthday and the parade.

Last weekend was my birthday. Well actually Friday was, the 20th. I turned 55. Hard to believe. Time is sure going by faster than I would like. So for my birthday David took me up to my daughter Carrie's and her family's for the weekend. Carrie baked me my favorite cake for my birthday. It's devils food with a cream cheese filling and then cherry's. Yum!!!! It's been a favorite of the family's for many years. It is picked a lot for birthday's.



It was also the annual Pemberville parade that my granddaughter Taylor is in as she is a High School cheerleader. It's been so hot in Ohio and guess what happened this weekend? RAIN and COOL temps. Put that together and it's not a fun parade!!!











Here is Taylor marching in the parade. 1st pic is where Cooper ran out to hug his big sissy. It was so cute!!





Here is Taylor and her boyfriend, Garrett at the very wet parade. He is a football player for the same High School Taylor goes to.



Ohio State Car..



I have no clue how this girl's baton could stay lit with fire, with all the rain, but it did.



There was even a little wet wiener in the parade!!! LOL.



A few more parade pics.







Now that I have bored you to death, I hope that you are still reading!!! LOL.

Soon the parade was over, it didn't last as long due to the weather, we left and came back to Carrie's house all wet and chilly.

While we were warming up and we cooked a Lasagne dinner, they played Rockband. It's such a neat game. My daughter really gets into it! LOL. My daughter Carrie is singing, Sydney is on the drums and Morgan is playing the guitar.



Here is Chad, my son in law on drums.



Here is David on my laptop. Waiting on dinner to finish up.



The next day, Sunday, we watched movie's and just hung around the house. Ordered Pizza for dinner. I watched 2 really sad movie's. Marley and Me, and My Sister's Keeper. Both outstanding movie's.

Monday we got up, and Carrie, Chad and I went shopping at The Hobby Lobby. I had never been and boy am I now in love with that place. I could really spend a lot of money in there if I were rich. We came back to Carrie's and David and I packed up to leave :(. We hope in the next few years when the economy gets better, we can put the house on the market and move up there. I could help with the kids more and Carrie could go to school, as she wants to become a nurse.

We of course took the furkids up with us. here they are as we opened the van door when we got home. They were glad to be home, and wanted out of the crate!! It's only a 2 hr trip, so they aren't penned up for long.



This Monday I have a appointment at the hand surgeon's office. I have very bad carpul tunnel in my left hand and also a cyst in my wrist. I had carpul tunnel surgery on my right hand about 15 yrs ago and need it on the left bad, as I have to wear a brace now, 24/7 and it aggrievates the cyst. I hope he can fix both things at once. So surgery may be in my soon future.

Tuesday I have to have another brain MRI, as I am quickly losing my peripheral vision. I saw the eye specialist on Wednesday and he ordered another brain MRI. He did another test and saw how much more I had lost in the last 2 mos. Please keep me in your thoughts and prayers.

I hope I kept your attention!!! I also hope you have a great weekend!!

God Bless~

Yes, I am still alive!!! LOL

I tell you, I have had the hardest time trying to blog. I don't know why. I read blogs everyday, love them, but have a hard time blogging. Everyone else's blogs seems so much more exciting than mine.. LOL.

This has been the absolute hottest summer we have had since I moved to Ohio, 12-13 yrs ago. I was used to the sweltering humid heat in Charleston SC and it didn't bother me so much, so when I moved to Ohio, I thought wow, the summers are great!!! This year we have had days after days of 90+ temps with high humidity's and high heat indexes. I haven't been able to sit out on my patio like I usually do, etc and it's made me sad. They say only 80's next week. I am sure hoping!!! I still love summers over winter's although.

I have been wanting a round table for everyday eating forever! We found one in craigslist for 10 dollars!! All wood, nice, except it needed refinished. David refinished it. I will show some pics. If you want to see any pics bigger, just double click on them!!

These 1st 3 pics are of David working on the table. It was so hot!! That's why the rag on his head so the sweat running didn't get in his eyes, so he could see..











The finished table, in my kitchen. I love it!! Costs us maybe 20-25 dollars!!! I am a happy girl!! I should have taken a pic of the table before. It was in bad shape as far as the finish goes. It's beautiful now!!





We went up to my daughter's for the 4th of July. Here are a few pics from then. My son and family came from Arkansas to visit also. I was a happy Nanny!! I had not seen Brice since he was born.

Me with Brice.


Brice and his Mom, Amanda in the pool.


Cooper diving with Daddy watching. Cooper is only 3 and is a fish!!!


My daughter Carrie and Brice in the pool.


David trying to stay cool!!!


We went to Bowling Green to watch the fireworks. Here are some pics of us there.
Here is Morgan, Sydney and Cooper.


Here is Brice.


Here is Amanda and my daughter Carrie. Amanda is Jeremy's wife, my daughter in law.


Here is David and my empty chair, as I was taking the pic. LOL. It was a long walk, so we had to take our power chairs.


My son in law Chad on left and my son Jeremy on right. 2 handsome men!!


My battery was dying on my camera, so the firework pics didn't take well.


I have a double nickles birthday coming up on the 20th. We are supposed to go up to my daughters. That all depends on whether or not Bailey, our dapple dachshund goes into heat. If she does we can't go as my daughter has 2 males dogs. We want to get Bailey spayed, but have to come up with the money 1st. David has been out on disability since April 28th, so funds are not good. He has applied for Social Security Disability so hopefully that will be approved. The doc says he can't work anymore. It's to much with his COPD and oxygen wearing 24/7. Right now he doesn't have insurance, so we are relying on the VA Hospital for his meds and such. Say a prayer he will get approved. I really do not want to lose our home. I have sold everything we don't need on Craigslist.

Well, thanks for reading if you stayed this long...LOL. I guess blogging wasn't so hard tonight!! Of course it's 1:30AM.

I will leave you with 1 last pic of Brice. Isn't he handsome? Looks just like my son at that age and I mean almost exact!!!

Let me know you were here please!!!

God Bless~
