A new day!

Another busy weekend and then another trip to Spokane yesterday for the Husb!

The stiches are out and he looks almost normal. The skin graft went very well and he must keep it covered while sleeping and if he leaves the house as a precaution for the next two weeks.  We go back in four months for a follow up!

So glad we have gotten through the worst of it.

I had a dermatology appointment early this morning and do not have to report back for a year, which is wonderful.

Coming up next is getting the secondary cataract removed from my right eye.  The left is not ready, but she will get there.

I tell you ageing is not for Sissie's and I don't mean Kim!  It seems that all Husb and I do is go from appointment to appointment.
 

But we are alive and relatively healthy, so who can ask for more.  I am counting my blessings.

I am not sewing today but deep cleaning my chest freezer and then I am going to make several small lasagnas and stuffed shells for the freezer and Husb is going to make meatloaves.  We need to restock after the great cleanout.  I also see some stuffed peppers in the future.  If I have time today, I will do those also.

I plan to sew the rest of the week.

This weekend will be some major yardwork if the weather cooperates.  I have plans within plans, now just need to get it done!

Now I am off to get my chores done!

Have a wonderful day!

God is good.

Just need a little encouraging!


 Whew, what a weekend and the last couple of days!

The reunion was wonderful, but very tiring. (Read Sissy's post, she got it spot on!)

We raced home so I could take Husb back for a skin graft on Monday, and it went very well, but a very long day.

He has been in a lot of pain as they took the graft from the front of his right ear and they were sewing into new flesh, but today he feels much better.  He is bandaged up like a prize fighter after a major loss, and the dressings must stay on until next Monday when return again.

He can bath, but his hair? So, I am going to make an appointment at a hair salon for a shampoo! Husb has a lot of hair.


I finished a large project for a friend in the shop "gratis" and it turned out well, so now I have two huge projects off my list, and I am finally seeing day light!  But for how long?

There is so much mending in the shop, and we have "Little Persons" clothing out the wazoo, but it will get done.

Sissy is working like a wild woman on wedding dresses.

I got my upper freezer completely cleaned out and will do my basement freezer on Friday.

Will try and tackle Sissy's upper freezer tomorrow and then the outside freezer on Saturday. We shall see.

This could happen sooner than later.

It is amazing when I finish tasks that are so bothersome, and I blow everything out of proportion in my mind. Then finish and my mind opens up!  That is how I feel today.

I made tacos last night; Hubs finished for lunch and will make boneless chicken thighs with a homemade Rice-a Roni in chicken broth for dinner.

Trying not to eat out and have been way more successful this month.  Cleaning out the freezers will help.

Albertsons is having a sale on chicken thighs (my favorite) legs, and leg quarters for .99 cents per pound, but the last time Sissy and I got the pork chop deal at the same price, they were so tough that well, all I can say is "what did that poor pig do to deserve such treatment?"

I plan on throwing out the last of them.

Buyer beware.

Now I am off to make some cucumber and onion salad for the hurting Hubs,

Everyone, have a wonderful week!

God is good!

Hugs,

Kay

Long time no Blog!

Well, I have just been busy living life or trying to catch up!

Sissy keeps me hopping in the mornings, and other things at home just take over.

Husb Cancer was completely removed but they gouged the front of his nose so badly that he has to have a skin graft and then plastic surgery...so we are in the process.  He has been bandaged up for almost three weeks changing the dressing daily (except for the first two days) and it has been pretty crazy. However, he is cancer free and for that I am eternally grateful!

Sissy and I are due to leave for Missoula for our 50th year class reunion on Friday morning, where we will spend two days and then race back so I can travel to Spokane on Monday for Dan's next surgery.

I have been so looking forward to this and now I just want it over?

It has been a whirlwind of a summer so far.  I finally finished a huge sewing project for "The Tribe" and it was so much work for too little money, But Sissy helped and we got through it and as we always say...never again!

Next week when we return, I have another big project I have taken on for a Friend that I am very nervous about, but with Sissy's help I know I will manage to pull it off.  The wedding dresses have taken over, and when this last project is done, I have to dive back into the major alterations.

I am learning so much, but this is hard work, Thank God Sissie agreed to raise her prices and so far, no one has batted an eye.

The front yard which we had hydroseeded has developed many ugly spots on one side which has us very concerned, but I am sure through time and effort we can solve it.

I feel like a Gerbil on a wheel, and this is of my own making, so I thank you ahead for listening to me complain!

Love reading your posts and am so glad HP was able to find SUPPORT in Japan! Been there done things like this for other items.  I just loved that post and well I am strange.

It is 95 degrees today and this girl is wilting but must get outside and do a little.

God Bless you all!  Will try to tune in more regularly, once I establish a schedule?  

Wait who am I kidding what schedule, I will plan and Sissy will blow it out of the water!

God is Good!

Hugs,

K
