WEEKEND FUN

JEREMY IS HERE FOR THE WEEKEND, AS I AM FEELING BETTER.

I AM STILL ON RESTRICTIONS. BUT I DID MORE YESTERDAY THAN I HAVE IN A LONG TIME. I REMOVED SOME WEEDS IN THE HOSTA BEDS IN FRONT OF THE HOUSE . AND I COULD NOT BELIEVE I DID NOT PANT FOR AIR. I DID NOT EVEN TAKE A ZERTEK FOR ALLERGY'S.

JEREMY FOUND SOME JUNK MAIL I HAD WITH A KEY TO OPEN A NEW CAR CONTEST AND DECIDED TO STICK IT TO HIM. I LAUGHED AS IT DID NOT STICK TO ME. I TOLD HIM HE IS MAGNETIC LIKE HIS GRANDPA. SO I TOOK A COUPLE OF PHOTOS OF HIS ADVENTURE AND CALLED HIS MOM FOR A JOKE. I TOLD HER JEREMY HAD HIS EAR PIERCED. SHE WAS LIKE. " YEA RIGHT!" I TOLD HER TO GET ONLINE AND I SENT HER PHOTOS ON MESSENGER.

SHE LAUGHED AS SHE HAS THE SAME JUNK MAIL AND SENT THIS PHOTO BACK.

THEN THESE 2

JOZLYN WILL BE 5 MONTH ON THE 7 th. CAN YOU BELIEVE HOW FAST TIME IS FLYING?

I LOVE THE INTERNET AS SHE IS CLOSE ENOUGH TO SEE NOW.
BUT WE STILL DO NOT HAVE TO LEAVE OUR HOME TO SHARE FUN.

Have a wonderful day and remember to laugh and play.

Life at the lake

We finally had a day with out rain. So we took a drive to Bagnel Dam The water flow is worse than last spring. The Osage river is raging with unbelievable force in the currents. If is way out of it's banks. Every one was out with poles in hand. It was a big catch day.

The water is pounding out of the top as the other levels are under water.

The blue herring are here in mass quantity's.
They are lined up like the guardians of the wall.

They are catching the fish that are being slammed against the walls.

These herring are are collecting floating food over and area that was there island.

The pigeons are watching from ever hole in the wall.

I think this is where they nest also.

you can even see some of the larger fish such as this 3-4 foot gar being tossed about.

This spoonbill was also tossed. Normally this are is lined up with monster size fish.

Even the deer were out.

So I decided to take a look at a place full of deer. You have to go down the road with the castle.

make a left at the waterfall.

Then turm right at the gravel road. I was right they are out today.

Have a wonderful day and remember to laugh and play.

THANKFUL THURSDAY

This weeks post is kinda hard for me.
As I have slept most of this week away.
But as always I am thankful for my friends and family.
You my blog friends have lifted my spirit with your kind words and prayers for my health.
I feel I have been positive for quite a while.
But in life you have to have a bit of negativity for balance.
It is how you handle the negativity that counts.
As I know I am doing better than some I have seen with this surgery.
And I know the recovery time is temporary.
I seam to be in limbo at this time. Neither happy or sad. I am ok.
So I am thankful to be ok.

Play to pass my day

Come sit on my couch and enjoy the ride.
For we are off to find the tide.

To paint a picture with words is an art form that not many possess.
The pen is the paint . The paper a canvass. The words are ART.

Some can write with poetic rhymes.
Neither rhyme nor reason is needed as long as the words sing.
They need to envelop your thoughts.
Details that flows and captures your mind are the best kind.
For I love to open a book and swallow it whole.
I can envision a place with detail and grace.
A magical story, a historic tail.
Oh but what about a whale ?
Did we fail. to set sail ?

Will it need to make since? Or just entertain my brain. Hum !

It must take hold and grab me right away.
That amazing story, will only take one day.
If it rambles ,it is not for me today.
It must take you to the stars and back in a snap.
Is it a faerie tale or a book of scary thoughts. A biography or a fantasy?

Magic is in all words that take hold of your thoughts. As long as the story flows. Who knows where you may go. A trip to the sea and day's in the mountains.
Far away lands, near by country side. Let your mind slide, on a snow bank. Maybe float on a cloud till you drift off to sleep. Oh what calm and peace.
Where will this go. I may never know. It rambles and rimes and kills time.
But it may make since some day for now it is just play to pass my day.

Pot of potatoes

I am not quit up to gardening yet. I have a 2 week after surgery restriction. But this did not stop me from taking photos today.
I have been trying diffrent ways this year. Using top soil bags self watering containers. Even colored mulches. I placed one potato plant in this red bucket it seem to be doing the best.

The one on the left is in top soil bag is 2nd best.
The one on the right side near fence is direct in the ground.
All 3 were started on the same day.

The top soil bag to the right has geranium starts.
I added aluminum foil to the bottom of the cabbage . As silver mulch is said to deter bugs and enhance growth.






To see more of how I am using colored mulch in my garden click here. To go to my garden journal.

THANKFUL THURSDAY

THE Miracle OF MASS PRAYER

TODAY WAS MY SURGERY THEY MOVED THE DATE BACK.

THANKS TO ALL OF YOU WHO SAID PRAYERS.
MY MASS WAS NOT A TUMOR LIKE 3 DIFFERENT ENT DOCTORS THOUGHT IT WAS.
IT TURNED OUT TO BE A MUSHROOM. LOL

ACTUALLY IT TURNED OUT TO BE A FUNGUS. 1.7 " X .7"
SO THIS MADE THE SURGERY LESS DEVASTATING FOR MY SPHENOID SINUS.

I SPENT AN HOUR IN RECOVERY OR MORE WITH HOT BLANKETS ON MY HEAD TO STOP THE PAIN. AND ATE CRACKERS AND DRANK 5 OR MORE SMALL COFFEES. THEN IT TOOK 2 VICODEN TO FINALLY RELIEVE THE PAIN. IT IS FAR FROM EASY TO SLEEP. I NEED TO STAY UP RIGHT IN MY LAZY BOY.
WHEN I GOT OUT OF THE HOSPITAL I CALLED MY FRIENDS AND TOLD THEM I WAS CALLING FROM HEAVEN. THEY LAUGHED. I SAID I WAS ABLE TO TAKE MY CELL PHONE WITH ME. BUT THEY DID NOT BELIEVE ME.
WE STOPPED AT A DOUGHNUT SHOP IN Jeff CITY ON THE WAY HOME. i BOUGHT 2 DOZEN DOUGHNUT HOLES. I HAD SUCH A GREAT OUT LOOK AT THAT TIME. I TOOK THE PHOTO BELOW. AND HAD FUN WITH IT.

BACK TO THE THANKFUL PART. I AM SO THANKFUL THIS WENT WELL. AND I HAD NO FEAR. WHEN YOU KNOW EVERY THING THAT IS GOING TO HAPPEN IT IS EASYER TO PREPAIR FOR. THE HARD PART NOW IS DEALING WITH THE AFTER AFFECTS. AS I DO NEED THE VICODEN. SO I AM THANKFUL FOR THE DRUG. I AM THE MOST THANKFUL FOR ALL OF YOU WHO PRAYED FOR ME AND I RECIEVED A GOOD OUT COME.
BIG HUG THANKS AGAIN. I LOVE YOU ALL!

OPERATION CARTOON

First off I had a squirrel scan. I mean cat scan.These as some of the results.

A This scam makes me look like hubby with a beard.
B. This one shows, My head is not empty. I do have rock's in my head.
C. This one shows at the base of my brain near the spine it looks like a little guy with eyes and teeth. So some day I may say." I have a little guy in my head telling me what to do". But so far he is silent. But this is proof I am not crazy.
D. Close up of little guy.
E. Location of Sphenoid sinus. This is located in the center of your brain and contains the optic nerve and coronary artery. It is the culprit of my sugary fun for Wednesday May 20, 2009.
F. Shows my sad self
G. Shows my naughty self.
H. X marks the spot of operation. I kinda look like a guy in this photo too.

I did this cartoon as a way to have fun with the knowledge, I have acquired.

By researching videos. And learning about what is to come. It let me go into this with no fear. I am thankful, to have this ability. In the past I would have fell apart with fear. It is allot easier to be the Patient, than it is to be the caregiver, or loved one.
So fear not, I will return a healthier person.

Have a wonderful day and remember to laugh and play.
