pooor little blog--abandoned for nearly 3 months. It has been such a hectic summer---although i cant put my finger on what has taken all this time. Our daughter graduated from college with her Bachelor's in May and has now moved on to work on her Ph.D. The good news is she is now only 2 hrs 15 minutes from home.
Muse be the time for changing addresses-- Katie moved and this last week my brother and his family moved as well. My brother is actually about 1/2 hour closer to me---only 4 hours now I think.
Tina (my friend from work) has returned to work part time. She is having a lot of pain still--only more now in her heels, neck and migraines. She is under so much stress that is so hard for her body. Yesterday was 3 months since Ginny was taken on to heaven. I still think this is something most of us cant realize how much this changed her life. My thoughts since Ginnys death is that if Tina gets out of bed and continues to breath...well she is doing well if she does that every day.
this last weekend, Katie came home for a little visit and to pick up our grandkitten, Frances, and take her to her new home. I am surprised--- we are all missing "Francie" she is such a good little kitty. I miss her sitting her her "cube" made out of rip stop nylon and "bushwhacking" us as we walk buy...and that proves true for the other cats and dogs too. she is a equal opportunity "bushwhacker" LOL
my friend Jennifer had surgery this morning, I am praying this will help her chronic pain. She is a young woman (early early 30's) and has been terribly impacted by the pain caused by Interstitial Cystits. She has soooo much pain that is not helped by any of the treatments so far. She is ready to move on and get engaged, married and have a family.
it is getting darker earlier and staying darker later in the morning so I am getting all mixed up.... here it is almost 2am and i am still awake... not been to sleep at all yet and i have to be up and at 'em at 6 am. i guess i better go try to sleep again.

4.2.09 thursday

when Tina and Billy got engaged right after Christmas I told her I would love to make her invitations for the wedding. She has put it off and kept saying she didn't even really want to have a wedding. Suddenly this weekend they decided to go ahead with the wedding in the church. So ..on Monday we talked about what they would like to have. Turns out she only wanted a couple of announcements to put up in their churches. Monday night I thought about it, Tuesday we talked about it, Wednesday I made a prototype. Today I took the sample to show her. She wanted to make a few changes (like the one where I made a name up for the church since I didn't know the name of the church LOL)....but she had been busy as well. Last night she made her bouquet. So that is the POTD--- her bouquet with the sample announcement. I made the announcements tonight since she only wanted a few.... they will probably be my POTD for tomorrow.. And the other pictures are just today's bonus photos!

Today to Celebrate the arrival of spring i am showing you a little of what i look at every day. in an attempt to make our work place a little more cheerful Tina and I have taken on decorating for the season. This is the way on the outside of my cube. Tina supplied the goodies and i tacked 'em up LOL The only think you cant see is my Eeyore who is disguised as a Easter Bunny (complete with a bunny suit with ears) who is on the other wall facing the corridor
