It's the Weekend!!


Hello on this late Saturday afternoon..Spent most of the morning getting my computer cleaned up and getting my new printer to work wireless. My son who is very smart about these things spent about 3 hours working on it and updating things that I don't bother with...etc. so now we will see how it goes!!
I have always used Mozilla Firefox and about a month ago something went berserk with it and I couldn't get it to run on my pc...so he fixed that for me too!! YAY!!
Here are some pics of my beautiful flowers that were given to me when I had surgery last month..they all were so pretty I couldn't resist saving pictures of them...I hope you enjoy them too!!


One of the pictures is of a bouquet that I received on my last day of work from 3 of the staff...that was a really nice surprise too!!
I am going to sign off for now..have to do something constructive around the house today...like...Vacuuming for a start...then some Photobucket so better get busy!! Have a blessed Saturday!!Photobucket

I'm Back...finally


Well I guess I have been neglectful in my posting here..hmmm didn't realize it had been 10 days since I had been here..I have been doing a lot of reading
Photobucketand haven't taken the time to post here...so will try and catch up on what's been happening!
ok...first of all
Photobucket my hubby spoiled me with beautiful roses that had a little stuffed teddy bear with it's arms around the vase...then he took me to Red Lobster for supper...but we went the day after to avoid the rush!! It was a nice Valentine's Day!!Photobucket
On Monday the 18th I had my post op checkup with the surgeon that did my surgery and that went real well..said everything was doing very good and confirmed again to me that all the pathologists reports showed NO cancer..and I praise the Lord for that and thank all that prayed for me during this time..
So that's what has been going on with me along with really enjoying my retirement..which went into effect on February 1st!! Next month I will be working a few hours here and there..one thing I will be doing is a staff training once a month and the first one is the end of March..so I will still be involved with the center in a small way.
We have had quite a bit of snow this last month and lots of
Photobuckettemperatures..I am so ready for warmer weather!!!Photobucket but I am trying to be patient..and spring will be here soon!!

Finally some sunshine!!



It's been a while since we have had a nice sunny day...after a frigid Sunday with a wind chill of minus 15 degrees, this is a nice change..It is still cold but no wind!! I have opted to stay inside where it is nice and warm..have some laundry to do, and I always have a book beside my chair ready to read!!Photobucket

Been doing pretty good with my weight loss program..before surgery I had less of an appetite so it was easier to stay on program..but as I recuperate, my appetite is also recuperating so I am having to be more careful..but I thank the Lord for helping me in this area too!!Photobucket

Hope you are having a great Monday!! Stay warm!!

Hmmmm snow is back!!

Good evening or I should say good morning!! It has been a good day..took it easy...after having more snow last night I decided not to venture out for a visit today but to stay in where it was nice and warm and dry. Tonight hubby and I went to WW (Weight Watchers). I lost 2 more pounds so that was encouraging...then we went to Applebee's for supper afterwards.Photobucket

I am feeling much better each day..getting my strength back and getting a little antsy to do some stuff around the house that is still not permitted...until I have my post op checkup on the 18th of this month.
Think it is time to head off to bed...Photobucket

May you all have a blessed Friday!!Photobucket

Snow is all melted!! Yay!!

After a big thunderstorm during the night and temps in the low 50's the snow was gone this morning except where plowing had made some big snow piles..but those are gone tonight. Now it is Photobucket but hopefully it isn't going to be freezing rain.

Today I made my visit to the child care...it was fun to see everyone and the kids were even glad to see me!! It was the first I had been back since my surgery and everyone was surprised with the difference of 20+ pounds lost since I had seen everyone..I can't believe what a difference it makes in my clothes...got lots of tops that are huge on me and I have to admit it's a nice problem!!
Tomorrow I plan on taking it easy...doing some laundry and not overdoing it after a day out today. I am amazed how good I feel but don't want to overdo.

Time to think about getting ready for bed...have a wonderful evening...and remember....

Foggy day in Michigan

Today started out with the schools being delayed for 2 hours due to snow/ice/snow on the streets...then the temps went up some and the fog started and gradually got foggier all day..tomorrow the forecast is 50 degrees!!??? Hope there is some Photobucket
Had a nice visit from a friend that use to work with me at the center..she retired about 4 years ago but we stay in touch. She had been wanting to come and visit after I had my surgery and this was the first she could make it...she brought me a beautiful decorated box with votive candles and votive holders in it..really nice and my candle stash was getting low so it was perfect timing! We visited and reminisced for a couple hours...
Tomorrow I am making tentative plans to make a visit to the center..haven't been back since the surgery and one of the ladies is getting ready to go on vacation to Aruba for 10 days and I would like to see her before she goes..and now since I am retired it would definitely be a "visit" not work...ahhhh sounds nice.

She got a 1 which is the best she could get!! Yay for Megan!! Now in April she will go to the State competition...
