Broken Wing

I had surgery on my left wrist Monday where they took out a piece of bone and replaced it with pieces of tendons from my arm. Ron took me down for the surgery and our niece Val Sloller stayed with Kristi while I had surgery. Kristi was such a riot that morning. We got her up and she ate breakfast as usual but Ron wasn't in his normal everyday clothes. Kristi strted looking around the house and then walked over to the hallway to back door. When Vall got here she said am I in trouble? Ron said it was like she was looking for our suitcases. The last two times we have went out west she went with us, she knew we were leaving. She warmed up to Val but Val said she has a mind of her own and she can express it. She has done pretty good since surgery as far as watching my arm. Kim, Galen's wife, one of my daughter-in-laws took us for my recheck appt. yesterday. She does reaaly good with Kristi. So the pictures show where they did the surgery.

Push Button Toilet

Hopefully this toilet will last longer than our other toilets. As my honey says those things we wait for are more appreciated this one sure is. Kristi needed no training she knew just what to do, Home Depot delivered right to our door and it even has a water saver side too if you have little boys, Kristi probably pushes them both but I dont care no more taking off the lid due to broken handles or chains getting caught. Also you can see we did a wonderful upgrade to white, now I just need to do some painting.

New face lift for the windows

We decided to update the windows. We have some pretty large windows in our home facing the east and it is pretty hard to actually get curtains and the rods to fit the windows. After putting the hardwood down in the family room the sun really need to be kept out of direct light of the floor. Finally we found an ad in the paper and yesterday they came and installed the blinds. I also got some for the living room. They do have to come back as the valance didn't come in right and we have some for just a few of the windows by the dining room table but those are adjustable so we can still let the sun filter in on the top or bottom.

Family Pizza Party

We enjoyed a family pizza party with the kids, grandchildren and our first great grandchild last Sunday making the pizza's. We were missing a couple do to illness and working late but enjoyed the time we got to spend together. We are trying to figure out what the next family get together will be, as far as food will be. We had pizza left over and my husband was very thankful to send the leftovers home with the kids so he didn't have to eat it during the week.
Family time is so much fun and the grand children grow so fast.
Where did the time go when our children were young?
Life is so short.
We can't wait until once again all the family will be together for the get together's but with part of them miles across the United States that is hard too do, but they are with us in heart and mind.
