Another 6:25 a.m. call....

One that was becoming common
but, was totally 
unexpected too.

My MIL passed away this morning 

Elizabeth Jean Miller
September 11, 1929 - December 29, 2011

When my husband answered the phone he 
wasn't expecting the news his father was delivering.
Of course we rushed down there and spent the day.
Losing her sight and breaking her hip
may have been just too much.
The nursing home believes that 
possibly a blood clot developed
and entered her lung.
My FIL spent the day with her yesterday.
They had visitors, she had been in
the wheelchair and seemed
for her condition
"okay"
Only God knows
her time was soon
too come.
She will be greatly missed!

Thank you for your words of kindness at this time.

I had a Wonderful Christmas....

Thru the years I've never really asked for anything for Christmas!
I am Thankful for whatever I am fortunate to receive.
But, this year I did ask for something....
a laptop
just 
for 
ME


 I must have been a very good girl
because I got one!


and I got a Vera Bradley skin....
Hello Dahlia!


a cooling pad that's gel


an optical mouse


and I chose a cool bird background
to make it mine.


Now I have my own little 
blogging station.  And the cool
thing is I can finally upload
pictures again!  
Yeah!
Hope you all had a Wonderful Christmas as well!

Honey you should take my car....

and I'll go get you new tires today!
Maybe...
No I'll just take my car he said!


You may not be able to tell
from this picture,
but to left you see a road that is the end of
a hill, which then goes straight across
and down with trees
and electrical poles
and other stuff....

like the van in front of him that
also couldn't stop,
coming down that hill!
And the lady in the suv after him,
that steered clear of them,
and then was on her way.

He's just fine....
alittle sore from tensing up
ready for the impact.
Car wouldn't even start up.
But, they say it should
be ready by the end of next week.
And the guy in the van...
drove away with a bent muffler pipe.

coulda, woulda, shoulda....
left me his the car!
At least he'll be
Home tonight!

Hello Friends....

I'm still around. 
I take a peek at everyone's blogs.

Still no luck getting my pictures to work on
the computer for me.  But I am trying to be patient...
hard thing for me to be, patient!
But I am working on it.
Having 3 grown girls and 2 dogs
I have to be patient. 

I must admit I am having trouble
getting in the Christmas "spirit" this year!
Don't have the desire on this 1st day of
December to start putting away my
 Fall decorations,
and getting out my Christmas decorations.
I still have pumpkins on my front doorstep
& cornstalks on my pillars. 
Don't know why....
but, I do!
Although, you may notice
I did change my blog background.
Thought "maybe" it might get
me started....
we'll see.

Update to a previous post
seen here
sadly, my MIL has now
lost her vision almost completely.
She can only detect light.
We had them up for
Thankgiving
and experienced what my FIL
has to live with everyday!
My husband is an only child,
so there is some "talking" that
has to be done on his part.
Very hard for him,
having parents that are
very independent people.
But are now
81 & 82
and live about 1 1/2 hrs away
from us.  Difficult decisions
to be made for sure!

Hope you all have a Wonderful Day
this first day of December!
I'll be getting the Spirit I'm sure
for the season from all of your
beautiful blogs!
See you in blogland!
