Haven't posted for a while. Most things are really good, I just don't know where the time goes.
My husband and I went to visit my son and family in Atlanta, Ga. What a perfect time to go. The full colors of fall were so enchanting. The weather was perfect mid 70's and I enjoyed a very relaxing time.
I wanted to add some pictures but something has changed with the FB Insert Image and it takes sooooooooooooo long to download...Why mess with something when it works? Disgusting. Will try that later and more info on the trip. IT WAS JUST SO ENJOYABLE.
Back to the airport on Sunday to 8 inches of snow!!!! Pretty but..cold.
I also had my brother come to spend a day with my parents. So thankful for that. He got all the winterizing done for them. Fall clean up jobs and took Dad to one more medical appt. We will get the results after Thanksgiving. This has been an unbelievable 3 months. Only 1 thing can be done at each appt. 2/3 Appts each week....and the diagnosis should have been done 6 months ago instead of making him take meds to kill the pain. It is an hour drive to and an hour drive home and for someone in pain while walking or getting into a car, just not a good situation at all, much less me in traffic 2 hrs each day. And they wonder why medicare has no money....each stop gets their share.
I have my Halloween decor packed up, left a few fall things til after Thanksgiving, but started to organize the Christmas things. I totally redo the house..pack away pictures, some curtains, it is a great way to clean!!!!!!!!!! and set up a few more big trees. I have a few small trees I leave up year round for the lights and seasonally redecorate them.
So must get busy...We are having an Open House 94th birthday party for my father in law on Sunday at our local Pub/Cafe and kinda make it that side of the family's Thanksgiving also.
He still lives in an apt close by main street, still walks 2/3 times a day, and visits the local Pub a couple times a week to get caught up on local news, but walks to Mass each day it is offered.
He's excited to see all his little Great Grandkids again too.
Enjoy the weekend...Thanks for stopping by...Hopefully back to my card making next week, I got 5 awesome Creative Books in Atlanta and some great inspiration....so excited to get back to my favorite thing to do.
Even my signature disappeared... maybe I'm gone and don't know it.

A Day to Rest
Just returned home from helping with our church circles Sunday Breakfast. Homemade hashbrowns, sausage, scrambled eggs, toast. Choice of a roll or muffin, coffee, juice or milk $6.00.
Small town living...
Had a beautiful morning, changed back to Standard Time so that helped the 7 AM check in time.
No cards this time...was a busy week. My 96 yr old Aunt passed away unexpectedly so one night, we attended a wake and prayer service and Saturday the funeral. The good thing was she had truly lived a wonderful, full life, always busy and usually always helping her church and community. A farm girl all her life, a country school teacher, a mother of 2 sons, and when my uncle died 34yrs ago she remained on the farm and kept it in tip top shape. She always was baking and sharing her goodies.
We got to visit with many relatives and friends from Arizona, Florida, N. & S. Dakota, Minnesota, Illinois and all parts of Iowa. Will always miss her, but she is no doubt enjoying a Family Reunion in Heaven and truly at Peace.
I also had a good friend, die of lung cancer last week and her husband died suddenly a few days before. They were not that old, and she was always so full of life...had the cutest little Antique Shop in Czech Village a few years back, so will miss the well wishes at Christmas, but will have the fondest memories of our fun times.
Lots to do this week...Will find out more on my Dad's tests and see if he can have the hip replacement. So will be back with some more creations and excitement at a later date. Have lots of paper work to catch up on. And so real excitement around the corner. Stay Tuned.
Thanks for stopping by and have a great week...I know I will..
