Me, again...

Once again, it's been a while since I've posted. I just can't seem to remember to do it unless it's on my calendar and the last time it popped up, I didn't get around to doing it. It's been a busy couple of months with doc appointments for E. Trying to regulate his diabetes and take care of his eyes. Having cataract surgery in December, and maybe thyroid surgery to remove a growth. We'll find out Monday after meeting with the ENT. Always something.
After I get through December, I think I'll see the hand surgeon about my wrist. The physical therapy helped me get the strength back, but I still have that ice pick in my wrist feeling a certain way I move it. Not fun.

All in all, I'm still counting my blessings. Just had Thanksgiving and there is so much to be thankful for. We had a nice, relaxing dinner at Jerry and Jill's, got to visit a bit with Dennis, and spent some time with Josie (granddaughter). She's growing up so fast, getting so tall.

Amy and Mikey are coming to visit for a few days before Christmas and will be here for Christmas morning. Our first Christmas morning with him and he'll be 5 in January. It's been a long time since I saw a child wake up to Christmas morning. Should be fun. I'll have the camera ready!

Some friends are getting married. Two weddings coming up. One is this weekend! I love weddings. This will be the first one I've been to at our "new" church. I've got to stop calling it that since we've been there over two years now. We love our church family.

I'm on the ladies' retreat planning commitee for the second year in a row. Didn't take long to jump in with both feet. I've made lots of new friends and really enjoy all the church things we do.

I've been organizing my craft stuff for the last few days. Since I was off Wednesday last week, I had a long weekend to work on things. I'd really like to clean out the guest room closet and build some shelves and a workspace in there. Make that corner my craft area so that I can walk in there and make a card easily without having to run all over the house looking for things I need. I think the only rooms in the house that don't have craft stuff in them are the bathrooms and the kitchen. I certainly get my exercise moving stuff around to find what I need. It takes a long time to get anything done that way.
Some of my crafty friends have been encouraging me to get my space built and organized. I'm hoping to do that over the Christmas break. I hope it's long enough! I'll have to really focus, so I probably won't be on Facebook or blogging much that week! Then I have to get busy on a couple of scrapbooks!

Another blessing! I'm an aunt again. May nephew and his wife just had their second baby boy on Sunday. I went to see them yesterday at the hospital. They are all fine. Baby is adorable. Mommy is beautiful. Daddy is tired.

I'm looking forward to the family Christmas party/gift exchange. Always so much fun.

Well, I'm sure I've left out something, but it's late and I'm tired, so this will have to do until next time.

Love and hugs,
Lori
