Must Be Genetics

Today, my husband and I had to go for bloodwork for insurance purposes and to get a better rate. Most of you may know that I am a little older than my sweet husband. Not only am I older but it appears I am in better health-lol. My blood pressure and good cholestrol are way better than his. He walks more but I drink more water and probably eat more veggies and fruit. Even though my bad cholestrol is a little higher I lost 10 pds-I really think the scale was off but I will take it. Then just to do a finger stick the nurse kept telling Scott to go drink more water because they couldn't get enough blood out of him-took the poor guy 3x. Scott must take after his Dad's side of the family and I must take after my Grandfather (I told Scott, that my Grandfather had lower blood pressure but he must have raised everyone elses-lol). So, I guess a lot of it must go back to genetics keep that in mind when you are told your cholestrol is high but do take care of yourself and eat your veggies and fruit.

By the way, afterwards we went out for breakfast. I had french toast with butter and syrup and Scott had home fries, bacon, bisquit and gravy with eggs and a large milk-I told him that is a heart attack waiting to happen; no wonder your cholestrol is so high.  Have a good weekend! Enjoy all that snow!!!

Blog List

Well, in less than 24 hours with some help from my technically smart husband, I added 4 blogs to my list. I am impressed with myself-lol. I am very technically challenged. Two of the ladies Jessica and Shirley, I know personally for several years. Modern Sugar's, Natalie, has been such a help in the past with getting me buttons and just helping. Sabriolet Designs is just new and I liked her cards so I put her on, hoping to rejuvenate my creativity.

Between running my Ebay Store, online store, taking a class and life it just seems overwhelming at times and I wish there were two of me to go around. Anyway, I am happy I got this much accomplished. I did get to make two cards for my daughter on Sunday which I am hoping to send in the mail today. I forgot to take pictures though. I am finishing a shelf for my mudroom and a birdhouse for a Christmas present.

Have a good day!

Hello

Well, its been nearly 6 weeks since I have posted anything-whew! Just been busy. And last week was even busier. The brand new Cricut cartridge, Chic & Scary made its arrival and I worked non stop to get over 100 customers their cartridge. I have a few left but not to many so if you haven't purchased one, you might want to do it soon. I even have a few Simply Scarecrow and Scandinavian Christmas Cards.

Our daughter came to visit us almost 2 wks ago from college. It was so good to see her. That has been the longest time ever we have been apart. I couldn't stop hugging her. We had a family meal, friends sleepover, soccer game and visit-at least she did a lot in the short amount of time she was here. We look forward to seeing her again soon for the holidays. We do Skype so that is always nice but not the same and of course we text.

Does anyone else have kids in college? What do you do with yourself since they have left?

Earthquake, Hurricane and Flooding

Well, this has been our life for the last 2 weeks, I think. Currently, NEPA is suffering from major flooding in our area. I am greatful that we are safe and dry. 4 AM this morning we were trying to stop the water from flowing through our basement - 2 sump pumps,  shop vac, 5 gallon buckets and a mop were  used to get the water out. Unbelieveable all the rain that fell last night. It was like buckets of water were being thrown at our home.

With all this destruction and uncertainty, I need to keep in mind that God is not surprised by all this. He is still on His throne, working all this out for our good and His glory-don't know how but He is faithful. I need to keep this in mind as I just feel depressed with all this going on in our area. And all the people that have been evacuated from their homes and lost their personal belongings and some do not even have flood insurance. Last week, we traveled to NY to pick my Dad up because he was being evacuated due to Hurricane Irene and now people in NEPA are in the same situation due to Hurricane Lee.

God's people keep praying!

August 2011

I guess it hasn't been to long since I last posted. August has been super busy here! My husband, daughter and myself went on a missions trip along with 4 others to the Dominican Republic. We built a roof for a Haitian chapel. It took about a day and half because of the size. This was one of the first times TIME Ministries had anyone attempt such a feat. But God was good and kept us safe and provided the help and REALLY Hot days to build. We had other opportunities to visit other churches and the teens had a puppet show for children which the kids really liked. Not sure if anyone has heard about Cercadillo in the DR. Its a village not recognized by the gov't because they people for whatever reason have no birth certificates. So, this wonderful lady, Ina has been there I think for about 5 years and you would not believe the difference. Other churches have come from around the world to build wells, chapel, organize healthcare, dental care, VBS and a host of other things for the benefit of the village. The ladies have learned to sew and make these beautiful bags, necklaces, and pouches. They need someone to help market these items and sell them in the USA; so if you know anyone who has importing knowledge, please let me know. Thanks! Also, if you want a great way to see part of the world, good food and an encouraging summer missions trip, visit timeministies.org.

While we were in the DR, we received a call that my Dad had pneumonia and was in the hospital. So upon returning, we left for NY to see how he was doing. He didn't look good that's for sure but he is coming around. Followed by taking our daughter to college. This was a time of mixed emotions (I was in a daze I think for those few days, really) because she is having a great time but at the same time it was sad because she is growing up and we are experiencing the Empty Nest Syndrome.

Know sooner do we return home Hurricane Irene is closing in on the East Coast, so back to NY we go. My Dad's hometown area was evacuated and we had to drive back to NY to pick him up. At least I can keep my eye on him. He is not really happy but we just got our electricity back Monday afternoon and he still doesn't have it.

So, I feel like August was a blur. Not to mention, I am taking an online class which began Monday (I think I am out of my mind or will be shortly).

Enjoy your final days of summer before school begins again. Take lots of pictures to preserve those memories.

Heat, Home and Trucks

I'm back! Love technology - I can post from almost anywhere. And our son was keeping his Dad posted as to fixing his girlfriends (but they are really just FRIENDS!) truck which she just  purchased for vacation so now their vacation is delayed (she is not happy). We are home and it is hot. I miss central air; it was so nice.

As soon as we get in the door our son is ready to fix his girlfriend's truck. She bought this truck (even though she was adviced against it) because she needed one for vacation. Anyway, it had to be towed home. My son has been working on it most of the weekend and waiting for his Dad to come home and help. Its a Ford 250 and for whatever reason it is not getting the gas it needs so they are checking fuel lines, filters and gas pump, etc.

Enjoy your day!

The Beach - Fire Island, NY

That's exactly what it is today at Fire Island! On fire at the beach. We have been visiting my Dad in NY. Today, despite the fact it was 103 degrees when we left the beach there were lots of people there. And, yes some of us got sunburned. So put that sunblock on and put a second coating on and possibly a third. Even though I sat in the shade I still got a little burned. I also forgot my camera so I borrowed my daughter's friends and only took a few pics. I was hoping to take more so I could use Bo Bunny newest beach collection kit or Echo Parks.

Anyway, enjoy the day and the great sunshine. Drink lots of fluids to stay hydrated.

Mini Stroke

My father in law had a mini stroke while enroute to MT from Canada, last week. However, he did not go to the drs until yesterday. Fortunately, he is now in the hospital and he is under a drs care. So, if you are suffering symptoms of a mini stroke please go to the ER and get the care you need. Fortunately, God was with him and he is doing good so far although they are still awaiting the results of the ekg. Take care of yourself and get the  care you need. Please don't mess around when you are having stroke symptoms.
God Bless!

Cricut Expression Repair

Have you had problems with your Cricut Expression machine? Well, a friend of mine did; it just stopped cutting and she couldn't use the speed or pressure gauges. My dear husband, the Electronics guru fixed it although it is not a permanent fix but right now it will work and Lisa can save her money for a new one. He took the left side panel off and simply pulled off the control line. When she turns it on, it will only cut on max speed and pressure but that is better than nothing and she is happy. Really, all she has to do is turn down the needle strength. So,  thank you dear Scott for fixing Lisa's machine. She is quite a happy camper. 3X is a charm as Scott was  her last hope after two other guys looked at  it. We keep telling him, he is a genius.

Bless Your Heart Scrapbook Weekend

This past weekend about 6 of us got together and went camping (sort of). Some brought campers and another brave soul brought her tent. We set up tables in a cabin and had munchies and laughed. My wonderful husband, came over Sat. morning and made us breakfast. Anyway, we had a good time. Prizes, games, a lot of laughter and sad stories were told. In between all that, projects were completed and many pages were done. Mid morning, Karen gave a devotional from Psalm 59 and how we are not in control but God is. So stop worrying and keep your eyes on Him. We played Scrapbook Bingo-whoever had 5 in a row first won a prize. Then we had Mr. Green Frog - he was passed around to whoever finished a page entirely. I am not sure how many pages I finished but I did complete an 8x8 album. And I even got my 4th of July pics scrapbooked from this yr. Only because I wanted to use this new kit, I Love America by Best Creation. It was a toss up between Bo Bunny and BC because both are beautiful. Keep in mind, I still have pictures from my daughter's graduation party last yr that are not scrapbooked-there are just so many! And less, I forget Sharon made T Shirts for us. Karen showed us how to make flowers with Mother's Day Bouquet and use different mediums to enhance the floral look. She also showed us how to use We R Memory Keepers Sew Easy mat and pennant wheel.

Happy Monday!

Today is  the day to recover after a busy weekend. We went to our local state park and finally found a picnic table-the place was PACKED. Forgot matches for the grill, so we borrowed someone's lighter-thank you whoever you are. Ate, talked, took pictures then went canoeing and kayaking. It is then that the fun really begins. When you have two teenagers who love to torture their mother because their mother is so gullible and is a coward when it comes to water. I am the only one with a life jacket on to begin with so as we are going along, they are telling me there is a huge falls ahead because of all the rain we received. I am thinking we are on a lake how can there be a falls? Then they are hanging on to our canoe which makes me nervous because I don't want to tip over and get all wet and I have my camera with me. We all had a great time but I was relieved to be back on shore. But I do have to mention this funny scenario-on our way back both of the kids were frightened by a water snake. The kids were looking in the weeds and saw this snake with his mouth open and looking right at them-ha,ha. I told them that is God getting revenge for me because they were tormenting me.

Happy 4th of July!

Having fun with the family. Canoeing, picnic, hiking and food-what more can you ask for including nice weather. Enjoy your family and take lots of pictures.

50th Anniversary Party

Yesterday, my in laws celebrated their 50th wedding anniversary. Wow, that is a long time to stick it out with one person. Mom & Dad creditted Jesus as the reason their marriage has lasted so long. Everyday it requires work and by obeying God's word they came through many, many hardships. It was a beautiful day!Many friends and family attended  this special event. Sharon made the cake, Leeann made the centerpieces made w ith Werther's candies and I did an album and invitations.

There are at least 20 pages or more-to many to put on here but this is just a sample. I bought embellishments, paper, etc. from every craft store I visited just to have variety. I was hoping for a gold album and found one in Michael's by Martha Stewart and of course, I had my handy dandy 40% coupon. It was fun to make. Once they pick the pictures they would like I said, I would put them in the album for them.
