Hey, it's me again. Just a little up-date on what has been going on in my world. I went to Jonesboro for the Military Ball, and had a great time. Maybe I am just a little biased, but, I have the best darn grandkids. Emily, who is 17 and Battalion Commander of the Brookland High School JR RORC, won the first ever in 6 years award for the physical training. She was also awarded high honors in so many events they are too numerous to mention. Christa, who is also 17 and Drill Team Commander, won just as many awards. Oh, Emily is also in the Color Guard. Evan, who is 15 won several awards for participation in all events. Just a little bragging there, I am done. Now that I have bored you with that, get ready for more.

   Jonesboro looked like bombs had went off everywhere, damage from the ice storm was evident everywhere you went. They had a rough time of it. Here where I live, escaped the storm. All the bad weather went north of here. Mother Nature's way of cleaning house I guess.

   I am still doing great and look forward to spring and summer. Two of my grandson's will be coming for a visit next week while they are out for spring break. I have lots of things for us to do planned and can't wait for this weekend.

   Hope everyone had a great St. Patty's Day. I grilled a couple of awesome steaks, and spent the evening with my sweetie in front of the TV.

   Now that I have got you up to date, hope to hear from some of you soon.

  Some of you may have been wondering where I have gone, some may not even care, but to answer your questions, yes, I am still here. I still cannot get my stupid space to work right so we get to have Christmas all year long. There is nothing wrong with that, it's just I get tired of looking at the same thing all the time, kinda like my mirror. :)

  Went to the doctor for a check up last wed. and had a good report. He kept me on all the meds, didn't change any of that. He told me if I continued to have problems with the pain I have to learn to live with, he will go in and try to correct it, which in the future will cause more problems. I don't know, I must have missed something, if it is to correct it why would it cause more problems? Oh well, leave well enough alone is what I say.

  To those who care, I am terribly, blissfully happy. My sweetie takes such good care of me. Like today, I was told not to do anything, no dishes, no laundry, nothing. However, I did make the bed. Can't stand it if the bed is not made up.

  Oh, have to give you an update on lil'man Conrad. I am not able to upload any new pics at this time, but he is getting so big and is so devishly cute. He loves to shake hands, smiles all the time, breaks out laughing when I talk to him and he can sit up by himself, and is cutting his first tooth. I get to go to Jonesboro on the 14th for the Military Ball and I will get to see him then. I miss all my kids and family since I moved three hours away, but do get to talk on the phone or email them. We also do live chat, so if some of you have tried to get me and I haven't responded, please don't think I am ignoring you. I am usually on  line with them. I miss you friends here and will make more of an effort to get around to you all, but not to hurt any feelings, my time with Don is top priority. The last love of my life was taken in a car crash, which was so unexpected, so you can understand why all my free time is devoted to him. We never know when the ones we love the most are suddenly gone and you can never get that time back.

  I do visit your spaces when I can, since this is an older version of Windows, some of the photos and videos won't load, but I still love to read what everybody has to say. I have been working on my art a lot more and have several pieces finished and working on more. My grandson had a cross I drew for him tatooed on his leg and it looks great. He said he would only put a masterpiece on his body and that was it. He is waiting for me to do something else for him. I felt honored that he loved it well enough to wear it on his body for the rest of his life. I will try to download it from my phone so everyone can see it.

  Time to take the ol' med cocktail, so hope everyone has a great weekend, and my love to you all, hugs and kisses.
