We will be going to my granddaughter's/Ashtin for Thanksgiving ,so that should be a really fun day !! Remember she cooked for Easter !

I have not done much for Christmas this year so far,maybe I won't .I have not felt much like doing decorating.

I must start getting to your blogs & trying to catch up & see how you have decorated so far.
Well leaving for now hope to get my blog lively again !Maybe then I will get lively !!

What a wonderful day

You know,today it is in the 60's and super beautiful !
The other week in Oct. we had about 5 inches of snow. The next Saturday we had flooding from rain.Then it started freezing weather again.This has been a strange sort of fall.

I wanted to Wish

everyone,a Happy Fall,I know I'am late,but the house fixing is getting to me,I guess ,because I have a hard time getting interested in anything !!
Cannot seem to get out of this rut ,I'am in ,so if anyone has any ideas please let me know.
I did enter some flowers & gourds in the local fair 3 weeks ago & I received a first place ribbon for my pink rose,and for my other flowers & gourds ,I received 3 thirds, 3 fourths & a fifth place ribbon.
Not to bad this is just my second year to enter ever !
The house is coming along .The pic above is the damage from storm,next when open,next with new brick,new windows,I will post more,that is just the damaged side.

Terrible Times

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Oh my I'm having some terrible times right now!!
As you know we were away for pool tournament in Vegas ,well it stormed bad here when we were away ,I saw all the stuff blown over ,but my youngest daughter ,fixed everthing that blew off front porch (everything)bench,big birdhouses,,etc.My oldest daughter said it took her tree out in front yard,it was there 20 years.Didn't think anymore about it !
well my husband went up to the attic ,because he heard birds & they were all through the attic.
You know I live in a old brick house from 1800's ,that we put every cent of my husbands retirement money in to fix up ,stupid of me but we did,anyhow while he was in the attic,he saw the wall was leaning in ,that was how the birds got in .He told me it still didn't sink in ,then on Tuesday he said you have to check this out,we went outside & I could have cried the whole side of house from upstairs bedroom to rook line is in about a foot & ready to fall!! I'am just sick ,called a contractor,he said it could fall & to call insurance co. right away,I did,that was Thursday & I called again Friday & I still haven't heard from them. Insurance agent said he would call over the week-end,because they had a lot of problems from the storm !!
The contractor came today ,said it would be $14,880 ,to fix the house .


Then to top it off,my dd/Vicki called at 6 am,Saturday & said my son whom is 42 years old was arrested for DUI ,again & this time he had 5 bags of marijuana & smoking pipe !! Now he will probably go to prison,because this is probably 4 or 5 times to be caught for DUI .
I'am just sick !!
I thought I taught him better .

Last month his daughter tried to commit suicide over a boy,she got caught shop lifting & driving without license,drugs,fighting in school & this is a girl that looks like a model .

On top of this my dd /Vicki,told me her dads wife,told everyone at work that her granddaughter was coming from Germany ,to see her,because she wants to meet her grandparents !! How dare she pretend to be me,The girl doesn't speak English,she will never know !! What the ----------,
it is my granddaughter whom I have never met she will be 20 this summer & her name is Sharon ,her mom named her after me,how dare they not tell her we are divorced.
not tell her the truth,well I'm totally sick now !!
This is my son's daughter,also .

So ,I tried to call her mom today in Germany & the number is from 1989 & I can't get through ,anyone have any ideas on how to find her ?
I have a terrible headache !!



Sharon

Hello Everyone !

I have been away from the internet for awhile.
I was ill for awhile & had to have my gall bladder removed April 29 th. ,feeling much better,now .
~~~
Then my husband was in a pool tournament in Las Vegas,so we were there for 8 days.
It was 104 there & here it is raining & 58 degrees.
Then you come home to all the mounds of wash,3 pets (dogs) that you must play with ,because they are wondering why you abandoned them for all those days (10),then you have all the weeds to pull & lawns to mow at 2 houses,etc. you all know the drills !
Keep your fingers crossed,I think the other house is sold (well more like giving it away at what we owe,to get rid of double bills ) it is just to much when you are retired
&
we settle by June 26 !!YEAH !!
~~
Then Memorial Day picnic,couldn't miss that !!
~~~~
I updated my garden blog,added some new pictures,so check them out if you get a chance.
~~~
I hope you all have been healthy & having great times & making memories.
~~~~
My oldest daughter ,Teree had a birthday Sunday,she turned 45 & well,guess what ?
I thought about it Saturday & forgot it on Sunday & I even talked to her,on the phone,how dumb was that ? Hopefully she forgives me !!
~~~~
My husband is baking sugar & oatmeal cookies ,because the youngest granddaughter asked him to make her sugar cookies,she loves them .
~~
Bless you all !!
Hugs,
Sharon

Rain

Well,yesterday we had rain all day & it was 43 degrees at 12 noon.

Today it is raining again & it is 44 degrees at 10:06.

Sure wish it would warm up,not super hot maybe 60 would be nice.

I haven't done much outside this year,weather not helping.At least that is my excuse.
Last week,1 day I did manage to redo the one flower bed,removed the rocks & put plastic down,then put them back ! Hope it keeps the weeds down.
Another day I cleaned up debris & weeded the daylily bed,that is all I have done this season !

It just amazes me that the flowers aren't growing ,but the weeds are !!!!LOL
Today,I'm just doing ,LOL very little !
Hope you all have a great day !!

I have to tell you about my Easter

Good morning everyone!
We went to my Granddaughter Ashtin's house/apartment for Easter dinner.
She baked ham,peeled potatoes ,made real mashed potatoes,homemade filling ,gravy,lima beans,made blueberry delight & cherry delight !!myself & her other gram cleaned everything up after we ate,but that was just the dinner dishes & serving dishes & roaster,but she had all other things cleaned up as she went.I still don't know how she did all !! She said she was going to crash /sleep as soon as we left,because she started at 5 am.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Now this might not sound like alot to everyone,but to Ashtin,this is a milestone,You see Ashtin has Cerebral Palsy,she has her own apartment & goes to college,now this is a girl whom has a hard time walking,standing on her own two feet & she is very spastic,but she keeps trying ,she is very intelligent though !!
~~~~~~~~~
I'am really proud of her !! She started out as 3 months premature ,weighed 2 lbs.4 oz & 14 1/2 " long ,& she didn't walk til she was 4 she has come a long ways ,I always said I willed her to live & be as good as she could be. Tons of prayers !!When they told us about her disabilities,I cried for awhile with her mom ,they lived with us at the time & Vicki worked 2nd shift ,I worked first,so I would read to her & sing her abc's , over & over ,hold up my fingers & show her to count anything,I could possibly do to stimulate her & by the way I'm not the only one who worked with her,her mother & father did ,too!
So when she turned 1,I said to her tell your mommy how old you are & she held up 1 finger !! That was our big breakthrough & her first big step & trust me it has not been easy for her !! Her years in school have been torcher with kids,making fun of her ,stabbing her with pencils in the back,tripping her,punching her,but she was main stream school .She would say to me grammy they are so mean to me,Why ??
I would say to her ,they are just very narrow minded & afraid that they could end up with disabilities,too !! So I told her she could beat them with her brains & she did ,always having A's & B's .
~~~~ So that is why I'am so proud !!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
My husband wanted me to have candy,that you know I really need LOL .So he bought me,2 bunnies,marshmallow eggs & peeps ,that I love & 3 eggs,then he colored eggs for me ! Boy am I spoiled !!
I have added the pics ,sorry I ate the one egg LOL!! Also there is a picture of my favorite wax Easter sheep,bunnies & 2 rabbits I just bought from olde glory soldier !!

Sorry,I'm bending your ear .
Bless you all ,
Sharon

Happy Easter Everyone

I hope you all have a beautiful blessed day !!

Fence

Hi everyone, I have had people ask if I was going to paint the fence.
The answer is at this time NO plans on it !! The contracter said not to paint for at least 6-7 months,BUT they recommend never painting it !! It has some type of special treatment on it to protect it for a really long time !!
I know I would like a prim color,but I will learn to live with it !!

Hello

I just wanted to let you know ,I'am still around !!
I turned 61,March 8 and I have been quite depressed over that,but at least I made it this far.
Then the wind storm took our new fence down,we must have for our dogs,2 yorkies & cocker spaniel. So,finally Tuesday,they came to start the new one,dig the wholes & set the poles ,then they finished it Wednesday,which is 100 % stronger than our cheap one from Lowes,which still cost 1300 dollars ,only had about 4 months !! Well anyhow,the neighbor lady wouldn't let us put the entire fence up like I wanted she said it was her land,Needless to say I was upset,but anyhow,I don't know what happened to the rest of my footage out front of house. So I just had the back yard done like before.Now I have to pay about 2400.00 to have surveyed so I can have the fence finished !! The new fence so far cost 17041.45,was to be 3000.00 for complete fence.I believe her stuff is on my side,because she use to own all 3 lots & I think she just put where she wanted to .
The new fence is awesome,it is called board on board.I believe they do them in Texas like this,I think !!
I will post pictures,maybe tomorrow !!
Then Wednesday,my son turned 42,that made me more depressed !!
So,I'am trying to come out of my shell !! !!!
Today,my youngest daughter whom is 40,had a graduation,from classes she had to take for her job & I could not go,because,my ex ,her father & his wife went.He still threatens to hurt me,what a total A--.So that didn't help .
Well enough or I'll be back to total depression !!
So,I hope everyone has been well & I hope to keep blogging,daily !!
Bless you all !!
Prim Hugs & Blessings,
Sharon
