Okay I just don't get it

noreply@blogger.com (Jean) — Sun, 27 Sep 2009 21:08:00 +0000

That's right I just don't get it, What can a person do to mend the fence if you don't know where to mend it or how it got ruined in the first place? If anyone knows then I would love to hear how I can fix it and get on with my life, I didn't even know that I had a broken fence. And other fence post around the fence are very week and can't help me find out how or why, you would think that after all this time of being with me and the fence that they would at least have the strength
to hold up to the weakness of either side and be truthful so that I could try to mend it the right way and not let it rot away until there is no fixing it. This fence was the best fence and it hurts like hell, not being able to mend it like it should be mended. I think that someone gave me a virus as I can't view my blog home page, help. well its that time to say "will blog you later"

Im feeling Better

noreply@blogger.com (Jean) — Sat, 26 Sep 2009 01:25:00 +0000

Well here I go again, I'm back to the living. I'll be so glad when all this after math of my surgery is behind me. Im seventeen months now post surgery I've lost over 158 lbs and I've had issues with not wanting to eat to having low iron and just down and out. But I really think that I am now back to being my old self again.

Its almost noon now and I have a ton of stuff to do, taking Dad up to the nursing home to see Mom, then hubby and I are going to the fair, this will be my first big outing since June and I can't wait to be out and about again.

Last night was the first time the girls came over for cards since oh I'm thinking March or April or it might have been in Feburary, at the last minute K couldn't make it but hussy and I had a good time.

Well its that time again for me to say "will blog you later"

its been fun. see you soon

More Company this week

noreply@blogger.com (Jean) — Mon, 03 Aug 2009 19:37:00 +0000

Well this last week hasn't been too bad, cousins from the tri-cities didn't come over but might this week end, still have niece and her husband and three kids here from Boise but they are leaving in the morning and guess what??? Our son Robert and his two kids will be here Tuesday night untill Thursday, I'm still not feeling that great from my dehydration this last week and so all this company is getting to me, then I have a friend in Utah who daughter just e-mailed me and wants to know if her mother my friend can come up for a week, and yes that would be great to see her but right now I'm trying to get better and I really need my rest, you can't rest very well when you have company. Thanks to Kristi and Diane for your comments on my last post.

Too Many at one time?

noreply@blogger.com (Jean) — Fri, 24 Jul 2009 19:14:00 +0000

Yes this might be too many guest at one time, this next weekend I have had three family's say they want to come up, come over to stay with us, our cousin from the tri-cities our niece from Boise and our niece from Seattle all want to come over to our house this next weekend and I don't know what to do as we only have one guest bedroom. What a mess we have on our hands.
Help!!!!!!!!!!!!

Forgot

noreply@blogger.com (Jean) — Mon, 13 Jul 2009 17:22:00 +0000

Well today is July 13th and again this year I forgot my brothers birthday on the tenth, man I guess its true that when you get a certain age everything falls apart. And I do seam to forget to blog everyday like I did in when I first opened my blog account. I say that I'll do better but in the end its all the same I forget. It could be what? I even forgot what I was going to say now what to do oh well I'll just blame it on my age LOL. Well its almost time for me to go to the nursing home and do mom's nails so I'll sign off for now and "will blog you later."

Michael Jackson

noreply@blogger.com (Jean) — Tue, 07 Jul 2009 20:18:00 +0000

Well today we seen the king of pop laid to rest, I know that his rep. wasn't good and many think he was no good but you have to give credit to his talent, he was one of the best entertainer's and a very smart business man. I for one will miss the music he gave to us. But one good thing about music or pictures they will always be here for many of years to come, as I type this I'm listening to the Beatles and that is the great thing also about computers, we can be playing or working on our computers and we can hear music or a live radio station while doing other stuff, I just love modern technology and when ever else there is out there in cyber space, lol I'm such a nut.

well its that time again for me to say "will blog you later."

Puffin

noreply@blogger.com (Jean) — Sun, 05 Jul 2009 17:19:00 +0000

This is my new friend, this little guy came right up to me at the Oregon Aquarium, real nice place to visit, I recommend this place to see if your in Newport Or. We spent the day and lots of money in the gift shop there. Just a short one this morning, so will say again "will blog you later"

Crabs

noreply@blogger.com (Jean) — Fri, 03 Jul 2009 07:09:00 +0000

Yes what your looking at is a crab, he is about a foot long and about half foot wide, he doesn't look like it but he is, he is behind glass so it isn't like having the best picture taken like if he were out in the open. I'm kinda sad as in the morning we are heading back for home, this week went by so fast. We did alot but could use two or three more days to do more, why is it when we plan a trip we really don't have any idea how much time we really need to see all there is to see and do? The grand kids were pretty good all in all but there were a few times I could have spanked their little behinds. LOL

Well I have to get off and go to bed as it is after midnight and I really don't know when we are leaving in the morning and I still have to get our stuff together (mine and Maycie's) as I know Richard has all his stuff done. Good night all and "will blog you later."

Packed and Ready to go

noreply@blogger.com (Jean) — Thu, 25 Jun 2009 22:06:00 +0000

Okay the packing is done and the car is loaded, all we need to do now is get up in the morning and haul @#& out of here and head to Lincoln City, the trip will take us about eight hours as we are taking our grand daughter with us and she is nine years old and I think you have to stop every once in a while so they can do the pit stop thing, we would normally only stop about every two hours but when you have a child with, I believe the stops sooner, we'll see, I'll try and blog from the coast but don't know if there is any connections where we're going. Did look at the weather for the next week and it looks like it's going to be on the cooler side, low 60's so had to pack warmer clothes just in case it gets too cold. Haven't heard from the Son as yet, we are meeting him and his family there and its his daughter we are taking with us from here, hope he doesn't bail out and not come, it would be just like him(in the past he would do this) and have something come up and not make it, but I'm thinking the wrong way and should be thinking good thoughts about this trip.

well its time for me to say "will blog you later."

Grand Daughter Crashes

noreply@blogger.com (Jean) — Mon, 22 Jun 2009 21:24:00 +0000

Yes we are now the grandparents of a child who has had a roll over in a ditch with water coming into the car, car rolled twice and landed on the roof (note car to the left is not her crash) the doors wouldn't open and they couldn't get the windows to roll down either, so Loni's friend found a tool of some sort and broke open the rear window, thank God that young lady knew what to do. Neither girl was injured in the crash, Loni had some cuts on her feet but nothing real bad. We think that they will total her car as the roof and doors are all dented down and into the car, but you never know about insurance company's and what they think these days. well don't have any more such good news to report as of yet so will say "will blog you later."

Trip to Oregon

noreply@blogger.com (Jean) — Wed, 17 Jun 2009 22:33:00 +0000

Just got back from getting my nails done and I do have to say they look pretty darn good. Getting ready for the trip that starts next Friday the 26th of June, Lincoln City here we come. Hope the weather is nice and warm so I can get a little sun in and play on the beach, we rented a house on the beach, well its about 150 yards from the beach so you can say its on the beach can't you? We'll stay in Lincoln City and then go up and down hwy 101 to see other stuff like the Tillamook Cheese factory and go to Cannon beach to see hay stack rock, then down the coast to the sea lions caves and etc etc. Of course there is a big factory outlet in Lincoln City and I do spend time there LOL. Richard and I were just there in October this last year, so its only been eight months since we've been there, its my favorite place to go.

The pic above is the hay stack rocks on the beach at Cannon Beach, nice right? You can walk out to the rocks when the tide is out but I never have done that in all the years we've been going there.

Well can't think of anymore stuff to say so I'll just say "will blog you later"

A fish Story

noreply@blogger.com (Jean) — Sun, 14 Jun 2009 16:36:00 +0000

Yes I went fishing with Richard and the kids, Darren caught a fish minutes after putting his pole in the water, I hadn't even gotten down the hill yet. Got my pole ready and yes I put the worm on the hook myself, put my pole in the water and few seconds later I caught a fish (trout), then Darren took it off my hook, I re baited the hook and went just down from where the others where and caught another fish, then that's the end of a good story as after that all I caught was weeds and trees and other things but no more fish, I lost a few hooks and decided that I would be better just sitting in my chair and watching the kids get their fish, Maycie caught two or three and Darren got the most, Richard got one or two as he was baiting and fixing the poles for the kids when they would break the line or hook. We were only gone for about two hours but had fun, the kids want to go again today and we will take them as the lake is only about ten mile if that from our house. So after Darren gets up and eats we will get ready and go, Richard has been up since about 7 am getting the poles ready for today, well little Maycie wants to go to the Webkins sit and feed her little animals she has so I will say "will blog you later"

Free fishing

noreply@blogger.com (Jean) — Sat, 13 Jun 2009 17:41:00 +0000

Yes today is free fishing here in Idaho, and Richard is going to take the grand kids fishing, the fish & game are at the lakes and ponds and are helping the kids with how to bait a hook and how to place the lines right etc. etc. This should take about a hour or so and then they'll want to come home, but I might be wrong and they might like it, we'll see.

Well I played cards last night but only one of the girls came over, the other one had a family emergency and could not make it. James and I played two hands and she skunked me on both hands, I usually win but not last night, she got me good.

Well time to say "will blog you later".

Tonight's girls night out

noreply@blogger.com (Jean) — Fri, 12 Jun 2009 16:54:00 +0000

Yes we are back to playing the old cards again, I asked the girls what they wanted for munching on and in unison they both said carmel corn and gooey carmel corn (extra goo) so in just a few I'll be making the good stuff for my girls. Then I'm going up to the nursing home to do the mother queen's nails as she thinks she needs them done but looking at them they look fine but hey what do I know.

Well this is a short blog so its time to say "will blog you later".

^%::&++!

noreply@blogger.com (Jean) — Sun, 07 Jun 2009 22:17:00 +0000

Yes I said ^%::&++! because at 2pm the boys came home and said that there was no fish, yeah right and I am blue skinned, they just didn't want to fish because there were too many other people out fishing today and they didn't want to share the dock or grounds with any other person. I just about got all the things I wanted to do done when they came in. There goes my day.

Today is mine

noreply@blogger.com (Jean) — Sun, 07 Jun 2009 17:26:00 +0000

Yes the boys (Dad and Richard)have gone fishing and so today is all mine, you know there comes a time when all you want to do is nothing, well today is that day for me, and I'm going to take full advantage of it, going to catch up blogging, facebook, myspace and e-mails, that should take up a few hours and then I might get do a little cleaning around the house then go see mom and then who knows what my mind will come up with, I could just play games on pogo.com or games I have on the computer.
Yesterday we went to the tri-cities as Richards step-dad came down and wanted to go there, so we took a trip there for a few hours, they had a BBQ and a few of their kids and grand kids came over so we had a good time, we did miss a good friend of mines daughter's party for her graduation and it was a hard call to make but I know that she understood as she is the first one who will tell you that doing things for and with the family come first and for most, so a big thanks to my very best friend Kristi for always being there for me, she has been my rock for the past two years and I love her dearly for all she has done for me and my family.
Maybe the girls will get to play cards today, as its been a few since we have been able to play, summer time is not like winter by far, you have a lot more to do in the summer and it stays light so there for you can do more out door stuff then you can in the winter, so I guess the best time for our cards is in the winter, but who knows we might get in a few games in the summer, we'll see.
Well I could on on with another topic but I'm thinking I should save it for another day, so as I listen to my favorite radio station on the Internet (Absolute Radio in the UK) oh that's a good drink also lol. I'll leave you with this thought did you leave your windows up??
its that time again for me to say "will blog you later"

Surgery

noreply@blogger.com (Jean) — Tue, 02 Jun 2009 16:39:00 +0000

Well Tiffs surgery went well, Dr. said she had lots of stones but no problems with surgery, thank God. Tina came over and I went and sat with her until about 3pm then came home, we then went to our grandson's baseball game, they won.

Now am getting ready to go to the casino for our weekly wamupm (free money) every penny we have been winning (sometimes lots of money other times just a little) we are putting it away, to use for our vacation, which is at the end of this month, so far we have over twelve hundred($1,200) dollars and we have three more times to go to the casino and try and win more.

Well its that time so "will blog you later".

More sadness

noreply@blogger.com (Jean) — Sun, 31 May 2009 16:01:00 +0000

Well here we go again, my auntie who died on the 20th of March, is now joined by her husband, the kids called me yesterday about 1:30 my time (pacific) and said that Uncle Jay just died about 20 minutes ago, man talk about depressing, we were just getting ready to go for a ride when the call came, guess you know we didn't get the ride. My cousin Nett is on her way again from Texas to Utah and get this yesterday was her Birthday and I had just wished her a happy one on facebook, not knowing that my uncle had just died, bummer .

Tomorrow is Monday and Tiff is having her gallbladder out, so I'll be at the hospital with Tina my niece Tina who is coming over from Seattle to help out, this should be good they are both nurses, let see what happens with nurse taking care of nurse lol.

Well that all the news I have for today so its time to say "Will blog you later".

yard sale

noreply@blogger.com (Jean) — Tue, 19 May 2009 18:36:00 +0000

Well yes the yard sale is over, what a joke, I mean you price things at rock bottom from what the item is worth and there are still some people who don't want to pay anything but penny's, hey I priced most items at a dollar so it was better then the dollar store as the hussey would say, and still they asked for a better deal in their favor what jerks. We had the sale for two weekends and I tell you that's a lot of work, hubby wants me to do it again in the fall, oh sure its easy for him to want another one did he do the work? I don't think so. Well have to go and finish putting things away and getting stuff ready for the good will store. So I say to you "will blog you later"

noreply@blogger.com (Jean) — Mon, 18 May 2009 18:33:00 +0000

This blog is for my Dad who has a Birthday tomorrow, he'll be 84 years old and is still in good health, he went fishing yesterday with Richard and they got one limit of fish, Dad of course complained and said the fishing was bad and that there were too many ATV's ruining all the forest and so on, I had to keep my mouth closed as not start fighting with him, I hate it when all you hear is complaints from the old people, don't they have any thing good to say or think???

Well getting back to the good because I just realized I was complaining about my Dad complaining, what was I thinking.

Anyway Happy 84th Dad.

Well its that time again "will blog you later"

noreply@blogger.com (Jean) — Sun, 17 May 2009 16:29:00 +0000

Well bet you thought I got lost or something didn't you? You see I planed on this nice little vacation from blogging, well not really but it sounds good no??? As some of you know I moved the parents back in with us, mom was not doing what she needed to do and as it turned out only after about a month I had to put her in a nursing home and rehabilitation center, she has been there now for three weeks and is really adjusting to it well, she likes all the activities that they do and she is now taking her meds on a regular schedule, she can't take more then what is prescribed to her, she has to have physical therapy everyday now, so she is getting her legs strong again, maybe she'll be able to walk again, stranger things have happened, that is the whole plan so wish her luck, I know that she is repeating what she just told you three to four times in an hour but that goes with old age right?? but I do think that its Alzheimer's in the first stage she is 85 and half now and will be 86 in November. I can't expect to much with the really getting out of the nursing home. She did say that she likes it there and that is one thing I never thought she would say so we're good there.

Today is Sunday and the two grand kids (D and M) stayed the night and they are still asleep, its almost 10:00 and so I'll have to go for now and get their little butts up, as today is going to be a very nice day and they don't want to miss it by sleeping it away. So its that time again for me to say "Will blog you Later"

What to Have

noreply@blogger.com (Jean) — Fri, 10 Apr 2009 00:45:00 +0000

Is this a bunny you ask? Well no its not even close, its a big dumb chicken and I do mean big, I'll bet its even tough to eat this big bird, well rabbit would be very good about now don't you think?? To tell the truth I don't even like chicken anymore and I have never liked eating rabbit so that is why most of us eat ham this time of year. Well we had ham this last week as my daughter and granddaughters were here for spring break, so now what do I have for dinner this Sunday? Surly not chicken ham or even rabbit so you tell me. Well have eggs and other stuff so can't waite to hear from you to let me know what we can have for dinner.

Oh and Speedcat what do you think of this colored chicken??

Well its time to say "will blog you later" :)

Lost something again

noreply@blogger.com (Jean) — Thu, 26 Mar 2009 15:29:00 +0000

Okay now I'm really in hot shit this time I have lost my purse and I don't know where when or how, but for the life of me I can not find it, so will have to call both banks that I have visa and debit cards with and the police department because of the drivers licence and who else I really don't know. Okay enough said and done have to get off as the battery life is almost going going gone so "will blog your later" :)

Good Lord its Tuesday

noreply@blogger.com (Jean) — Tue, 24 Mar 2009 20:34:00 +0000

Where the hell has this last few days gone? I went to bed the other day, well Sunday to be exact and woke up today and holy hell its Tuesday, I wasn't feeling too good and so after cards with the girls on Sunday I went to bed and must have slept all day Monday.
So no blogging on Sunday or Monday and didn't drop either, but getting old is the pits, one day you feel great the next day you feel like shit.
And taking care of mom is no piece of cake either, but we are all she has and until we are forced to do the unspeakable we will do what we have to do to keep her with use.
Richard and Christopher are up at their apartment getting the last of their stuff, and then we have to get stuff ready for the big yard sale.
Well as much as I hate to say it "will blog you later" :)
