Hello Cuties! I went to the orthopedic today and my break is healing so good that now I can start therapy. He told me he would leave it up to me if I wanted to continue wearing the brace. I said I don’t rest well at night because I feel strapped down, like sleeping with a seatbelt on. So all evening I have been without it but I admit my arm feels heavy at times. I was used to the sling holding it, but he wants me to move it as much as possible. I was fearful it might be too early 6 weeks but he said the only way I could damage it now is if I took another fall. So I hope to regain full motion because I WANNA SEW! lol
Yesterday would have been my daddy’s 100 birthday. Born April 18,1922 My sister sent me a text saying she missed him and I told her I hadn’t even looked at the date of the month. Where does the time go? Anyway, here is an old picture she sent. He is the one on your far right. We don’t know who the other GI’s are. Maybe some of your relatives. Wouldn’t that be awesome! I think our grandson Dalton has daddy’s looks. We’ve compared their pictures before and we are all in agreement.
We had a good Easter Sunday. Only 3 of the grands couldn’t come. Lanie had to work. Dustin and Ty doing their own thing. Kids had fun and we all enjoyed being together. It was warm so the heat ran us inside after a while. Richard (SIL) said it was worth every penny we paid for our new unit. ($6700.) Just a few days after we had it changed is when I fell.
The guys ‘hid in plain sight’ 200 eggs all filled with candy. The last picture shows some before the kids started hunting.
Hope all your Easter was nice and everyone took time to remember the reason for our hope. ❤️Toogie
Love all the piccies of the kiddies getting their Easter Eggs. I didn't get any as I was on my own all last week and I don't think the kids thought of me as wanting some Chocolate. Luckily Trev had left some Violet Crumble pieces and a couple of little Lindt Chicken shaped choccies.
Thanks for sharing your lovely pictures, I love seeing the family. Love Chris
Chris, I didn’t ever remember my daddy with hair so I love seeing old pictures of him when he was young. He always teased and said when I got sleepy, I would twirl his hair around my fingers to go to sleep at nap time and twist it out!-lol
The family are such a blessing to us. All of them, grown and kids alike, always hug and kiss us, when they arrive and when they leave telling us they love us and we them. Once in a while the little ones come with a tear or outright crying because they’re not ready to leave-lol We are glad they all like to still come. Although, lol, when it’s been a long exhausting day, we are sometimes glad for them to go! -lol lol
I love seeing how the children are growing and Declan walked so well in the grass. Nora remembered how Gus didn’t like the feel of grass on his bare feet. If you were holding him he would lift his feet up.
I feel I slept better last night, although at times, I did wake up with my arm aching, I was able to go almost right back to sleep. That is very unusual, because usually if I wake up I can lie an hour tossing and turning and eventually give up and get up. My hubby just said I was snoring loudly at times. He knows because he was up during the night. I just laughed and said ‘I’ don’t snore! He will raise his eyebrows and stretch those eyes 👀 open wide at me and laugh saying “yes, you do”!-lol
I'm not sure about mothers day yet. Sometimes the kids do a fish fry here or at their houses. One year it was at Marsha and Richard's house, so the kids or whoever wanted to, could swim. Sometimes we Bar-b-que. What's the plans your way?
I never thought too much about looks growing up but looking back, he was handsome and so is Dalton.
My husband has a lot to mow. I said one time I have never had to mow and if hubby goes before me, I won't know how to with that zero turn. Richard (SIL) says that's what you have us 'kids' for. I laughed and said they were getting old too-lol Hubby likes mowing and the garden too. I like the air conditioniong-lol
