Friday

Got a nice letter from my Grand Daughter. I was surprised when I went to the mail and there it was, a letter, you know kids now a day, always so busy doing what ever kids do. I love all my Grand children, wish I could see them all more often. How fast they grow up, before I know it they will have families of there own. When I read my Grand Daughter letter you can tell that she appreciates her Mom even if she would never say it to her face. Morgan was happy for her, that she got to go on vacation and that she has a man in her life that treat her well. I know it is hard for teenager to see there parent as real people that have feeling, but I think she is doing a good job. I just want my Grand kids hopes and dreams to all come true. I know the world today is all about money and how much you can make but I think God and family values are the most important things. Some of the riches people in the world have gone through life never wanting a thing, but when they ask them what would really make them happy they always say family. So that shows us all the diamonds, cars, houses won't keep you warm at night, it is the love of your family.

Thursday

Good morning, how are you doing? Well it is suppose to rain today, I don't known if that will happen but we shell see. My grand daughter said she mailed me a letter, so I hope I get it soon.
Yesterday I took the grand kids that live in Santa Rosa to Spring lake. We went fishing and had lunch, that was a lot of fun. They had some running event at Spring Lake yesterday. It seemed to be about three schools, they were everywhere. When it got time for us to go we had to wait because they were having a run right where my car was. So finally I had a chance to get out of there and some lady is yelling at me to hurry up. I kept my cool, then got up the road and some kids is yelling at me to hurry up. So I nicely rolled down my window and said well if you would get out of my way I could get out of yours. She is standing in the middle of the road and is telling me to hurry up. O well sometimes it is hard but I try to remember love and kindness. Like my Mom use to say you get more with honey then with vinegar. I don't know how Jesus did it, to always be a good example. I try and walk in his foot steps but those are some big feet to follow in, but I will try my best.

Monday

Some of the ladies at my hall are going to be at the same Craft Fair in Dec. (December 5), we can't wait. Some ladies make jewelry, others knit, it should be fun. One ladies husband has a big building at his Mothers house, so the wife is thinking of having all of us have a craft fair out there. That would be really nice if we could plan on something like that each year. We could get a bunch of the witness ladies that do crafts and have a special event. My friend Jane likes to make cookies, so she could bake a lot of things. Some of the Craft Fair that are in December you have to apply for in June. So I will try and keep that in mind next year. So have a good day and keep yourself going, never give up.

Sunday

Here we are again and I have failed to write every day, I am so ashamed of myself. I did go and see my knee surgeon on Friday, he says both of my knee are shot. I guess that is why my mind has been on other things this week. His name is Doctor Howe, he is a very nice man. He said lets do the first one and see how that goes then later in the year we can do the other. I try to act like it is no big deal, but I am scared to death. That is the bad thing about being alone, when my husband was alive we depended on each other to help us through these different things we had to face in life . No one likes to bother their children or their friends we want to be independent. So it is nice to be Jehovah Witness, when someone is sick or has surgery they pitch in and bring meals over for a while if you need them. They will have someone come and stay with you if you need help. I am hoping I can handle this one on my own but if I can't it is nice to know they are there. I will be in the hospital for 2 to 5 days and then with a walker for a while. The Doctors says I won't be doing much but siting and walking a little each day. Then after the walker, crutches ,then cane. It is going to be a long process but I can do it.

Tuesday

I had Cheerios for breakfast and fish for lunch. Went to a movie this afternoon and had some popcorn when I got home had some cheese and cracker. When It came around to dinner I had a salad with steak on it. It seems to be getting colder the next few days, it may rain in the middle of the week but they are not sure yet. I hope that you are all doing well and are keeping on your diet. On Friday I go and see the Doctor about my knee, I should know when they are going to operate on it. I ran into Brenda's husband last week and he said she had to have her knee operated on, but I don't know what was done. I hope she does well and will recover soon. Take care everyone and I will talk with you tomorrow.

Monday

Here we are at Monday again. Did my blood this morning 134, had cheerios for breakfast, snack, a yogurt, lunch 1/2 egg and bean burrito, snack cheese and crackers. When it came to dinner I had a English muffin with pizza sauce and some cheese. It feels better to spread the meals out into little ones, then you don't have a chance to get really hungry. I am writing down what I eat each meal and maybe I will get more in control. I did good with not having any sugar last week, I did have a small piece of pie at my friends house over the weekend. Now I am right back on the no sugar thing during the week. I am sure I am getting some sugar, I am just not eating candy or sweets. Over the weekend I was tempted to get a piece of cake to take home, while I was shopping at Safeway, but I made it through and didn't get one. That is good for me. So keep trying and don't give up, I will write every day this week.

Sunday

Today I have meeting then I am going out to lunch with my friend Jane and her husband Mark.
Last night I had dinner at there house and I won the card game. Chase and GG were ready for Halloween when I stopped by last night. Chase had made a box and he was going to lie in it and scare little kids. GG was Frankenstein's bride, she had her hair all on top of her head and bolts coming out of her neck. I am sure they had a good time.
