I'm finally home!!

15 years ago

This feels like moving out of my parents house all over again! I feel like I'm 18 and the sky is the limit!LOL!

I can drive again, feel 16 all over again too! I went to the store and bought groceries, and was almost giddy!LOl!!!

I have a few days of cleaning..dust really piles up over several months. It's almost like a haunted house! Thank god I was able to pay my neighbor's son to mow and rake my yard, I could never deal with that right now. So excited to

just be home ALONE!! I think I need a dog now though. Had one to talk to at my son's all the time, and think I need that company now that I'm not working.

I think I'll move my stuff back in my workroom this weekend,

and see just what I have. It's like Christmas here!LOL!

My son is so organized..He's so anal!LOL!!!, and I'm so glad now that he is! I should be able to put my workroom back together better than it was. I was amazed when he packed it all up for my hospital bed in 2 hours, it will take me a few days to unpack, but it's more organized than my workroom ever was!

So excited to get back to my life. The best part is, I'm retired now!!! So my crafts can take take the place of my 9 to 5 job. What dream come true, a painful long journey,

but a dream none the less! I'd love to be able to make enough stuff to get in on the holiday show, but that's really pushing it! I'm just loving having my home to myself! So glad to have you all to blog to! can't wait to

share more stuff with all of you!

I was new in June I think but I had read about your accident, it's been a long road but glad you are doing well now just in time for fall & holidays. Just don't get too carried away as you'll wear yourself out!!Hope you find a nice even tempered laid back dog to keep you company. Flag had her dog in her workshop looked like easy going dog, hope she writes you about her dog! Best of luck in your new station in life. Retirement is nice, they give you check for a change!!!! Jan

Hi Jay, I don't know what town houses run in your neck of the woods but we had to get out of the city because we were looking at 1000 bucks a month + utilities. In the town we are moving to we will pay 800 bucks a month + utilities. There is about 200 bucks difference in living costs between the 2 cities.that means more palms and tropicals in the long run..lol. Actually it means I will be able to afford diapers and wet wipes..LMAO jeff jeff

Iris, you sure will have to catch up! The older girl is Madison, more commonly referred to as Madi. She's 20 months old. They are both Ashley's, Amanda's kids are now 7 and 9, they'll be 8 and 10 in October/November. I retired a year and a half ago, and I remarried 5 years ago. Dad passed away and I bought the farm I grew up on, we're hoping to build there in the spring. We just sold Elery's house and are hoping to have mine on the market in another month or so. Lots of things are happening, LOL, but I missed you and I'm glad you are back. So, how are you? Well? Happy? Still working or retired? Annie

WANTED: I'm finally home!

It was maggie, but before I signed up I asked if it was OK if I was late. I was on "vacation" (vacation really means not seeing your extended family, IMO, but that is what I was doing) in Illinois and Wisconsin, and did not get back until last night. I have not been on here much for a while, because of school, but lots of people know me, and I don't think the ones who do are too worried that I will skip out on them. I just wanted people to know that if they hadn't received thier package, it might be because I have his or her name. Riverrat, like I said, we were visiting family. "vacation" is not the word. Around here we have replaced it with "the family ordeal". It was like it usually is. A mixture of the good, the fairly pathetic, the irritating and the bad. The night before my birthday, my step-grandfather in Fla died. We were all pretty preoccupied with that for a while. I did not get to see enough of some people, and I saw too much of others (I am sure they would say the same about me), but I am glad we went. It has gotten to where we only go every other year because once in a while we like to do something FUN. lol

Bologna Trip

Bri...glad to hear you had a good trip and some time to shop and even take a cooking class. I have to admit I had to look up garganelli as I wasn't sure what that was. Food looks delicious. I'm also a fan of Italian food. Never got to Bologna but went to Rome, Florence and around and was enchanted by the scenery and the food. Even the cheapest little trattorias had wonderful pasta and sauce. I hope you'll come back and post some more photos of your garganelli of this coming weekend and some recipes such as the ricotta cheesecake! Welcome back and now have a good rest and get over the jet lag! ...73 & 88 SharonCb

Welcome home!

Welcome home! I'm so happy for you. Enjoy every day. I do hope you find your special pet. I'm a cat person, just not willing to commit to having a dog. It's like having a child that never grows up. Cats are more independent. But my boys are always around when I'm working in the garden or in the shed working on a project. They are good companions. I too have just embarked on a new journey. They had a "restructuring" and my job was phased out. I chose not to apply for another one right now. I'm taking my savings and paying off all my debts and staying home for a while for the first time in almost 30 years. I'm currently developing a parish nurse program and a program working with battered women with children through my church, to help them break the cycle of violence. I've only been out of work a week, but it has been a very busy week! No time to be "bored" for sure. But I never was one to allow for boredom. Life's to spectacular for that! Blessings and all the best to you in this new chapter of your life.

Well....I ended up going back to work. Didn't want to at
all. My boss gave a deal I couldn't refuse. He's paying me
for 8 hours and I only have to work 4, so I'm making twice as much for 1/2 the time, and he's letting me bring my new dog! Every excuse or reason I had, he had an offer. It's
a good idea. My hospital bills came in, and my credit is at risk. So I haven't been able to mosaic, or do much of
anything I planned. I have trouble sitting for long periods
of time, and it still hurts to walk around, so I just can't win. I lay in bed with my dog too much. So at least it gets me out and about 1/2 the day.

Thanks so much for all the caring comments. You guys are the best. I feel bad coming here these days. I don't have projects to share, and you still welcome me. After reading about Flagtrucks heart attack it really made me think.
I need to get off my butt and get back to what I love!
She is just too amaing. Makes me feel awful about how I have taken this accident. She is quite an inspiration!

You are the best group around! I thank god for you all!

Don't beat yourself up! I am a slow healer and find some peoples "get up and go" so amazing. I broke my ankle, and couldn't even use crutches cuz I'm such a clutz! I wheelchaired everywhere. I still have scars from my bad wipeout with crutches!lol! Your boss must think you are REALLY amazing to do all this to get you back!!! I have gone back to work and have just recently cut back to 4 days a week, and I hope to get back on track with my mosaicing! Chin up! pip pip!

I'm finally home!!
