Oh my goodness, has it actually been 5 months since my last blog? Spring was just springing and now, this is the 5th day of Autumn. I swear, the older one gets, the faster time goes by.

Larry is coming home from Ft Campbell in less than two weeks...hard to imagine he has been there almost 5 weeks already. He has decided to take off until January 15th, which will give us all the holidays together this year that we spent apart last year. Also, we are traveling together to Illinois the last part of October to attend our annual "Weenie Roast Bonfire." I am so looking forward to meeting my new over 10 lb great grand baby girl!!

I have not been as busy as I normally am the past few months as I have been recovering from knee surgery and from having my other Carotid Artery cleaned out. Not much dancin' going on either, so I have gotten far behind my cohorts. We are performing for my church's 25th Anniversary on 10/10. So, being as last Friday was the first time I practiced for months, I have a lot of practicing to do between now and then.

I am so excited about the party..I guess I am in charge..last Friday, the Women's Guild and I made 27 center pieces that I designed for the dinner tables. Sure hope all goes without a hitch.

Yesterday, Swiffer and I went for a 3 block walk. It might not sound like much, but for Swiffer and me, it is a milestone! One day at a time.

I only have one CASA child at this time and she will soon be adopted in a few months. It will seem odd to get a new case after all this time of working with the five cases I had. By the way, they all went to loving adoptive homes. God bless the adoptive parents that are willing to give my babies a nurturing chance in life!

Health-wise...it seems I only have one procedure left and that is radiating the stent in my heart to hopefully keep it from plugging up again in the future. Then, I should be good to go! God bless my many doctors and their staff and don't forget Medicare! (Our tax dollars at work! Who says the government doesn't know how to provide excellent health care? I only wish all these people speaking out against O'Bama's health care plan would consider Medicare before they start spreading their lies and blowing off steam!)

The best parts of the last few months is that my granddaughters came to visit for almost two weeks when I had my knee fixed and were a great help when I couldn't do much the first few days. Also, my daughter, Jacque, came for a short 5 day visit to watch over me after my last procedure. Now, if I could just get them to do this when I am healthy....what a joy that would be!

Luv to all my babies, big and small.....mom ,grammie, and great grammie...see you soon ;)
