Last Sunday our youngest had her birthday party... Dad decided to rent a Jump Castle since it was her last "non teen" birthday.Here are a few of the guests...I have to say they were pretty well behaved...this was a good investment.Sydney wanted Tyler to play air hockey with herever the gentleman he let her win.I even had time to list my Stamp Collection on Ebay while they bounced.

My last post it was sooo cold plants died. Today it was perfect and I was able to lay out on the lanai catching some rays. I'm still waiting for someone to tell me how to get something out of your head!!!The last week bf #1 kept me laughing. However Wednesday I had a few things on my mind that I really didn't want to think about, dh is in Chicago, BF #1 on holiday, so I really needed distracting.

Okay we have sunshine here but no roses...lol In fact I have to cover the plants again tonight we are expected to be in the low 30's again, I think I will leave my iphone in the house this time. Has everyone given up on their New Years Resolutions yet? I waited a couple weeks before making any this year so far that has worked for me & I have stuck to them...with a little help from my friends.

The ladies were here on Friday, babysat Gavin on Saturday until 9pm, an 8 mile hike with Otis Sunday afternoon then Superbowl last night the weekend flew by again. My favorite commercials (that I saw it because it was a bit noisy around here during the game) were the two E-trade commercials, the golf theme was the best!After the big game we all watched Wipe Out, which is like MST3K but with

If your a faithful reader you will remember early last year that I found an adorable kitten in the engine of the Suburban.We had occasional sightings of it in the yard throughout the year.Friday morning Emma found her again, she wasn't too frightened. Little Miss Kitty stood her ground in front of the camper as I called Emma back into the house, not even hissing. When I returned bearing a plate

After class last night we ran over to help Tim put Gavin's tube back in then raced home to watch LOST...we had it recording so we can zip through the commercials. I had such a headache during class that I wasn't sure I would make it and sure enough I fell asleep halfway through the darn show. I am going to have to watch it again to actually decide if I like the way things are going this year. We

Well it is day 5 and this 'bug' is showing no signs of retreat so my post will be another short & sweet one today.Susan isn't feeling well today either so we cancelled our dyeing day and no Gavin since I don't want him to catch this crud.Yesterday was another Vet trip but this time it was Calvin, he was showing all the typical signs of a bladder infection again so I ran him in for tests.

Since I am still battling this upper respiratory thing I thought I would just share a recipe with you and not all the joy that is this stupid virus!When I was younger staying at Grandma's meant we would bake a bundt cake....they were ALL THE RAGE back then so I thought I would share this wonderful basic recipeWe would buy the bundt cake box that sometimes included the packets of fudge to marblize

Things were going along really well until yesterday afternoon when I started feeling a bit 'tired'. I should have known something was up when I drove to Zephyrhills for class and we don't have class until next week, but I enjoyed the beautiful drive.Later I thought it was just because Gavin was being so 'cranky' and wanting to be held. Sahara & I took him off to Walmart to get a walker &

Yesterday I escaped with my walking buddy Ellen as dawn was breaking. We headed over to the new Circle B-Bar Reserve at 7am to check it out & take some pictures. It was beautiful & very peaceful until 9am when they started a guided tour of about 150 or more people. We saw lots of birds..no other wildlife except a seaplane & airboat on the Lake. It was beautiful & I will definitely go back early

The Hustle & Bustle of Christmas that is? While we have some time honored traditions we have had to adjust a few things this year due to having a DIL as well as a Grandson added to the festivities. Christmas Eve we traditionally opened our Ornaments, I buy the kids one or two each year for their trees. I also get an item of clothing that is the same for everyone. In the past it was matching

It doesn't seem to matter that I start gathering gifts for Christmas the days after Christmas is over there never seems to be enough time to do all the things or spend time with the people we wish.I guess that is also true of each day, there never seems to be enough time...or in my case energy to finish all I would like to do each day. Sorta feel like the hamster on the wheel running round &

I came across this beautiful idea this morning. Taking old or new doilies (for you whippersnappers they were on the backs of Grandma's chairs, couch or on the arms)placing them in plates or pie pans and flooding them then set them out to freeze.She then hung them on her patio....They remind me of Snowflakes.Just beautiful but alas that won't last long here in 82 degree weather so I am going to

Well I don't know about you friends but I can barely find time to breathe these days? I am not one to over-schedule during the holidays & I usually say NO to any extra activities in order to maintain my sanity. This month has been full of unexpected activities that have to be done, outside of daily things, like laundry, dishwasher, school etc. Apparently we are going to end the year the same

First off Gavin is holding his own, he still vomits up some of his daytime feedings and is on the NG feeding tube & pump at night. Every other day he is yanking out his tube so we have to hold him down & reinstert it. Saturday's prim class fun we mostly shopped and talked about the 2nd Annual Hookers Christmas Party next Saturday. Susan was so sweet, she brought me a Birthday gift of Primitive

After getting Gavin home Monday night I thought things would calm down & be quiet this week...but if you have been reading my blog this year you know that is NOT GOD'S plan for me in 2008. They say it is acid reflux still, however I would like to know why the meds aren't stopping it then...also that he has a protien intolerance so he is on a special formula that has nothing in it.Tuesday was

My desktop is having issues so I am reinstalling all the software and trying to fix the problem... so this will be a short update for those of you who have lovingly & faithfully been praying for Gavin.We brought him home after gaining 1 lb, with a feeding pump that he will stay on indefinately. He looks so much better with a lb and is quite a bit happier already. If your on facebook you can see

Thank you all for your prayers! Gavin is hanging in there after trying to get blood (to no avail) last night they put in an I.V., he woke up every 2 hrs last night. This morning they were not allowed to feed them as they had scheduled an ultrasound of his head and an Upper G.I. with follow through scheduled for 1pm. He finally got that finished around 4pm and they put in an NG feeding tube that

They are admitting Gavin to St. Joesph's today. The other formula they put him on gave him diarrhea, and switched his formula to a highly basic formula with nothing in it and he was vomiting still and not keeping it down. So after three months of this baby suffering and loosing weight they are going to finally run more tests.Will let you all know when he is admitted and we find anything out.

First thank you for your comments & suggestions regarding Gavin. The formula the G.I. doctor switched him to this weekend did not help while I had him Saturday & apparently that didn't change on Sunday. So another phone call or three to let them know and the kids are still waiting for them to call back.I will try to get the photos from Saturdays Hooking Class updated here tomorrow. Today I had

It is 7pm and little Gavin is finally asleep. Poor baby had a screaming fit for over an hour this afternoon & nothing would make him stop. He is still not keeping his food down & the doctors, with all their education, have me baffled & infuriated. This baby has been vomiting, NOT spitting up, but vomiting for almost 3 months.

I tried to add a pop out slideshow so that you didn't have to scroll down through all the photo's but it is not co-operating.Since we have to get to piano lessons & do a couple errands shortly the best I could do is add this slideshow of the group events.I have the hike & wildlife photos ready to load so maybe I can get them to work properly later tonight after I finish making the tags for

We arrived in Brooksville around 5:30 and set up camp, there were only a few other campers already there & a youth group with their tents set up. We pulled in right across the roadway from the Encore Stage (Pavilion) which would be used Saturday. Friday Night was all Hardcore Metal Bands...seems odd to think Christian Heavy Metal or Screamo as some call it. We could hear them all just find from

We are scurrying around here this morning like little mice preparing for a cold winter....Things are warming back up around here though :-( yes I am sad. As a transplant from N.E. Illinois the thing I miss the most is Autumn...the cool crisp mornings when the sun seems to shine brighter than it has all year. When you can hear birds & small animals rustle through the leaves looking for those last

Too much going on the last 5 days to post all at once so I will start with photo's from Game 1 of the World Series between the Rays & the Phillies.

We were fortunate enough to be drawn in the pre-sales ticket drawing for World Series Tickets, Games 1 & 2 Monday morning. So we decided this would be our Christmas gift for the family this year. Tim, Jess, Brittany & Gabe (we found out he was still around remember) are attending tonight's game while I babysit Gavin. Watch for them on the third-base line behind the Corona Beach Bar.

As I was leaving the house this morning, before dawn, locking the front door I heard my name being called softly. I looked around & thought maybe Sahara woke up & wanted to come with me...no....I hear it again as I turned to head down the driveway I saw my friend Dorenda on the street. She was already out walking, seriously! So she walked with me down the street to take care of Bogie & Birdie,

Well we have had just about enough of the media HYPE on Fay... It wasn't until about 2pm that we started getting some rain here.We did have some wind gusts earlier and so far we have had nothing major.Even my friend in Naples said they have had minimal rain & wind...Thank you GOD that the news media overdid the whole thing yet again.The darn it part is I can't find my camera battery charger....

Words escape me to describe Friday & Saturday. Seeing 14,000 women of various denominations all in one location giving praise to GOD amazes me and brings joy to my heart. If only he could move through the hearts of ALL women in that way!What a wonderful world it would be! I highly recommend you attend!

Well a few bloggers have started a blessing shower of giveaways...I hope to have a few gifts together to give away check back so you can enter the giveaway.Unfortunately there were no GIVEAWAYS at the store today. Pastor Dave cancelled our work day (passing out invites to join us)since it was raining. I instead ran to the store to get something presentable to wear to the Women Of Faith

This truly has been a year of changes and trials...some good, most not so good but GOD is teaching me to trust him through it all and not myself or others.So maybe it's time I make some other changes in my life.We started a little remodeling in the Crop/Studio since Saturday .... I need different storage & display in there and Larry was kind enough to start the big part of the project Saturday.

Even though our summer sky is stunning!I am sooo ready for Autumn... the problem here in Central Florida is that Autumn doesn't arrive until a week before Christmas That is if we are lucky! So while hiding inside I started making some of my own 'changes' Our UFO (un finished objects) rug hooking group has a new online meeting place.I haven't been able to get all the members admitted yet....We

Tuesday morning, DH left earlier than usual without my goodbye kiss. When I awoke the pups wanted out (at least Emma the rest wanted breakfast) So Emma bolts out the door around the the house to the driveway out of sight with me running after her in my Grinch P.J.'s.Thank GOD she wasn't chasing something like the squirrel or fox because she was right next to my Suburban, sniffing up at the wheels

SORRY!I have only seen one 'escape/illusion' by Criss Angel before last night & the previous one was MUCH BETTER. Last night was very disappointing and I have to say my kids can 'ACT' better than the announcer & his family. I feel bad for him going out on such a LAME show. I hope his audiences in Vegas fare better than everyone watching last night, since they will have to pay for their seats. I

Anyone who knows me...knows I only cook a full meal when it's Thanksgiving.Start to finish, on Thanksgiving, no one enters the kitchen for the week leading up to the BIG FEAST! Now I do cook a dish here & there...roasted veggies is my favorite meal13 Bean Chili is another favorite and occasionally Vegetable Lasagna.My husband is an excellent cook so why step on the toes of the expert!?!Personally

Boy was Brittnay a trouper! After going home Friday Night & returning Sunday Night the doctors finally hooked her back up to Pitocin around 11pm since nothing had progressed. I drove up to the hospital at the same time Tim returned with food for he & his MIL, I stayed until 5:30am when the Dr. said she would be back in an hour to rupture the bag of water. I dashed home to get new contacts, as

Well that 'Mental Health' Day did come in handy as did sleeping late Thursday Morning. THANK YOU GOD. Thursday Night & Most of Friday was spent at the Hospital with my DIL who was having contractions and not progressing. They sent her home last night after Cervidil & then 2 rounds (low doses) of pitocin on Friday. Seems that GOD new it wasn't time for this child to be born even if it was 1 week

Nothing like running away to the Theme Parks to take a break from the daily grind. Thanks for the idea Dorenda! We spent the day at Universal Studios & Islands of Adventure....with a brief intermission at Margaritaville for a Cheeseburger in Paradise & Top Shelf Margarita. Sahara & Madison (oh & that Green Guy) Sahara got to be an actor in the Disaster Movie Ride that features Christopher Walken

There are a few things that can send shivers up my spine...a beautiful sunset...sitting under the air-conditioning ductand finding a creepy crawly too close to meAfter church we came home & I could hardly focus on anything again...Time to go on the Ultra Simple Diet again so I can eliminate any foods as possible culprits.In the meantime my dh started working on the 'eyesore' we called the pond

We promised the kids we would canoe around the lake in the morning before it got too hot. This was their first time in a canoe & manning an oar so it was humorous to say the least.Sahara rode with Daddy & Tyler with me. He was a little apprehensive given that there are GATORS in the lakes & us with only a lifejacket & oar to protect ourselves. LOLI must admit it was already TOOO HOT to wear the

Saturday morning Larry took the tire in to see if we could get it repaired. After breakfast Sahara & I took the trash down to the dumpster & headed to the dock.She raced to the end of the dock before I could get off my bike.... I heard her yelling "THERE'S A GATOR"Then she spotted another swimming out in the lakeThis little guy/girl was about 5ft longNotice all the little fish just swimming

Friday I dropped off my DH to golf with his father sometime after dawn up the road where Dad lives. Sahara & I drove back to the campgrounds without seeing hardly a vehicle. After breakfast we headed to Mt. Dora, however since we left later than expected we missed the Parade. Most of my favorite places have closed shop however we have a few new spots we like to visit when we go.This time we

Things have been consuming these last few days, but thankfully I can once again focus on what is truly important...FAMILY, REAL FRIENDS and my wonderful customers! I want to thank those who supported me with your prayers, kind words, emails and purchases not only these last few days but this entire year. Without them I can't even think where I would be emotionally right now.Now onto some Praise!

Today and tomorrow there will be no 'Personal Training' as I have to clean & set up for my open house sale. Time to share some of the things I have enjoyed over the years and to decrease my inventory. One would think it was me giving birth in the next few weeks but I guess I am going through Grandmother 'nesting' right now.Last night I listed this new Punchneedle Treasures BoxThis is the second

Let me start by saying I used to be in better shape, not great but betterNot only before I gave birth to 4 kids but a year ago ...a year ago I walked (hills mind you not rolling but steep) 4 miles a day just for exerciseBut things came along...like work and the FLORIDA HEAT so I put walking at the bottom of the to do list.

What do these creatures have in common? I have yet to see one in the wild. We decided to check out of the campgrounds a little early today as poor Sahara is still not feeling up to snuff & now Tyler has a sore throat. She only woke up once last night after taking two NyQuil, I would be dead until morning. But she woke up coughing 4 hours later. The mosquitoes were atrocious all weekend. I don't

We are hitting the road...off to Collier-Seminole State Park for the weekend! I think we are completely packed but who knows I am only functioning on 4 hours of sleep.Sahara was awake until 3:40 this morning and of course kept me awake with her, finally I gave her a melatonin.What normally takes an hour has taken me three hours this morning. I listed my newest piece on Ebay for PRHG'S'HOT FUN in

Well even though Casper hasn't left my side he does seem to be feeling better...Otis is a little out of sorts though LOLNow that I think we can get back to some sort of normal Sahara tells me she has a sore throat last night. She has been in bed most of the day with 101 degree fever.In case I forgot "UNCLE, I give up" ...Please GOD enough.

We were able to pick up Casper from Dr.MacDaniel's this morning. He came home with two different meds but over all he is looking a lot better! He has his bright yellow pressure bandage on his IV site, we call it is POWER RANGER wrist band. He was spoiled with some steak pieces and banana (his favorite treat)He wanted to nap on the lanai in the sun after 5 minutes followed me in & is sleeping on

We found what was causing Casper to be sooooo sick...He had a Kidney infection due to the small stones which are Sturvite poor baby had sepsis The ones he had earlier this year were Calcium Oxalate the change in his diet to prevent these caused his urine to go from acidic to alkaline. He also can go back to his old brand of food and will have to drink distilled water from now on...which might be

I finally got back to sleep around 6am then awoke at 7am got ready & took him in to Dr. Mac this morning, his temp was still up & he was still lethargic.She drew blood right away which will be sent off this morning, then took x-rays to make sure there was no
