Hope everyone is doing well.

T-Lynn I hope your in-laws sees the benefits of assisted living soon. Hang in there girl.

Worst weekend ever!

42 year old niece had a massive heart attack thur. 40 mins. without oxygen, life flighted, revived 4 times. Was put on life support to stabilize her. Fri. (we headed to kids'). They did a brain scan on Heather (niece) had to revive her 2 more times. Nothing. Family pow-wow, she has a 17- and 12-year-old, 2nd husband (of 3 years), ex-husband, mom, dad and step-dad... Cardiologist and Neurologist showed the scans and explained. Sat. brain swelling causing seizures, started renning her off the vent. Sun. MRI you have to have 2 tests denying life before you can unplug.... mon. they decided she was a donor and they need to decide if there is anything they can harvest.... So the family sits and waits some more. It's Terrible! They had all said good-bye Fri./Sat. but here's it's tue. and we're on hold. Her mother (my SIL) Dorothea just stopped to see me at work. She sobbed, tomorrow, it's all over tomorrow! Work has always been a no cry zone, but Lord! I Hugged and Rocked her telling her That is NOT Heather laying there, She's in the arms of our Lord. That's just a vessel (body) laying there. She nodded and said I keep telling myself that but I needed to hear YOU say it. I needed YOUR hug, you give the best hugs. and I died a little, No Mother should have to deal with this. 

so back track to Sat. where I had to tell our girls what was happening to Heather. And ex-military tells us she's moving a full month sooner, could we take her out over Thanksgiving break. Who could say no!  Took the grandkids apple picking, pumkins, gourds...ate kettle corn, apple cider donuts, drank warm apple cider...  3:00 I took the 2 girls (daughters) back to youngest's apartment to pick up her car for later. We all stopped in our tracks, on her doorstep was 1 single red rose laid out. We looked around and ex-military says I'm going in, well we weren't gonna let her go alone! so we all went in, nothing out of place, all windows and doors secure, nothing on patio. She starts getting her car seat together, keys and food to take with us, eldest daughter goes outside to look around, I follow and stand in entrance. we found other doors with greenery on doorstep, some empty. We contacted housing, no ones in until monday, but no emails were sent out. We got in our now 2 cars, heading out different ways to scout out other doorsteps. found more roses and more greenery, I pulled in and parked, daughter comes around side of building walking! What are you doing! Jogger coming, she approaches him (he's in a hoody and has hands in his front pocket.) he says something and she steps back, oldest jumps out of my car and says I got her, you take him out. LOL  He lived in one of the units we were at, said he had no rose, looked at the ones they pointed out shrugged and went into his unit.  Another guy said nope, no rose, seen a women walking her dog, she didn't notice but was scared, so we followed her home. So police feels she's been marked No kidding!  males no markings, stay away from those units, single women get greenery, rose single mom. UGG 

Then Sat. night my SIL got a mild case of food poisoning!

He was okay Sun. so we came home around 3ish.

This is my Life! Just needed to vent and feel your support. Thank you.

HI

Good day  Navy mom Hugs !!!!

Blondie - I have to take a nap. I forgot to get some coffee while I was reading all you do!  Texas ?  What move!  fingers crossed that all goes well. Sorry about other daughter not being able to have another baby - but the love your family has - adopting a child will such a gift.   So glad that you will only work one Saturday in October.  yes, I know you will be busy the other weekends - but that is fun family work. 

Well Miss, I say you came in a close second to becoming an energizer bunny like Blondie!  that was a month full of activity.

Hope your weather is cooler and you get some Me Time

Here has been family drama - Vic cares for his parents and sometimes that means  - 3 to 4 times a week. Well he was doing that 2 weeks ago and then after they tested positive for Covid - they tell him. Even though they knew they had been exposed and should have not called on him. He was so frustrated.  That the nice way to say it.  No none of us got it and the parents only had mild flu symptoms. But Sunday  he got a call again and he had to run.  His mom is back in the hospital . No not covid - dehydrated - and blood clots.  they did a blood test and found she had a small heart attack.  She didn't even know it!  So far she is doing ok. But I am trying to help my hubby to say to them - go to assistance living.  That way they will get emergency help fast. And they can have meals they do not have to cook. So just being frustrated here.

But I do have knee surgery on November the 18th.  Finally going to get it taken care of. Keep you all posted.

 i have to run - got to get grandson off the school bus

Hugs

Hello Fall!  Our high today will be 61 and low tonight 44.  The storm from the last 2 days has moved to our south, high fluffy clouds with bright clear blue sky moving in. To our North the next thunderheads loom, maybe by sat. night or Sunday we'll have rain again.  I LOVE the cooler weather but could do without the rain, fog and frost! 

When I picked my green beans this week, I pulled the plants (no bending over). Garlic has been dried and those for winter planting pulled apart and waiting. Onions pulled and drying about half the potatoes have been dug. Tomatoes and peppers still doing well, this cold will slow them down.  By next weekend we'll be doing soup on the open fire and canning it for winter. That's why October is one of my favorite Months and our Anniversary. Work slows down and we Enjoy the cooler air before Winter hits. 

Work is as Crazy as it gets. Busy, Busy, Busy! Everyone is trying to get us to the hour changes and which doctor is in which days.  ALOT of long days, 20 min. lunches to run to bank, post office and let my doggies out. I have gotten my Saturdays off and only scheduled for 1 in Oct. But we have Church Festival and a family Wedding. So my Oct. weekends are still busy.

Eldest daughter I believe has given up getting pregnant again. So either 2 is it or maybe adoption down the road. What a relief not to have to Worry for her or another baby's life!  Youngest daughter (ex-military) is on the move again. Moving to Texas!  Although we back her a 100 % Can't say how hard this is on all of us. Yes, my heart is breaking again. Losing Tahlia again.... okay not losing but not being able to hug her, take her to the library, swimming....What it means for Joseph and Lilianna.... Another BIG change, school, daycare, house. this is they're 8th move in (almost) 3 years! My daughter is working for other ex-military doing security...that's all I can say. Hoping it's a good move for her and she found her "glitch" and that Tahlia bounces back. I told hubby in the military they moved every 2-3 years but.... 

Doors are open, place is hopping gotta go.

Hope everyone has a Sun shiny day!

Navy Mom Strong. Navy Mom HUGS (cause I need them)

Hello Pan Moms!  It has been a while....sorry T-Lynn.  It has been crazy busy at work and at home.  I can honestly say, mine life has not been as busy as Blondie's, but she is the Energizer Bunny and I'm not. LOL! 

Blondie, I am just tired after reading about your work schedule, and then you throw in that 2 page list of what you have done at home and I need a nap! LOL!  I just don't know how you do it. Hang in there sweet friend, and get some rest every chance you get. 

Not much excitement going on with us at the moment and that is okay.   We celebrated out son's birthday this weekend.  Saturday he wanted to go to a gun show, so we did that.  Sunday, hubby grilled steaks and they came over for dinner. Our daughter's birthday is on the 22nd, and I am getting her package ready to ship.   She and her husband just got home from a trip to Spain.  They had a wonderful time, and really enjoyed getting to see all that they did.  She is still struggling with jetlag, and the time difference.  She is also working some long hours at work, trying to catch up.  

I have been busy with yard work, and trying to stay caught up, but I have determined that is a loosing battle.  There is always something to do.   Hubs is staying busy with his business.  He is working on a set of kitchen cabinets, and has another job to start as soon as he gets this one done.  He also has a couple of bathrooms that he has been asked to do.  He helped our son last week on his bathroom.  He said he got him started and then let him do a lot of the work.  It looks really good.  

Maggs, I am sure it was a coincidence!  I have been watching a lot of the coverage on the news.  She was certainly a very classy lady, even through all of her heartbreak with her family.  Everyone loved the Queen.

So, I arrived back home. and the Queen died! Now I am not saying it was Coincidence, However, she lived 98 years, and last two times I was here was for funerals!!

T-Lynn, Love all the pictures, Sure brings back Great Memories!

I went to Japan 2010/2011 not sure anything is the same, Lots have changed.  I remember everyone was so Nice and the whole country was Clean! no trash anyway, people would chase you down to hand back something you dropped. They'd go out of their way to help you get on the correct train and get off at the right stop even if it meant they went with you!!!  Out daughter had an apartment off base so we didn't deal with hotels and such.  We did backpack 3 days touring the country, staying in a hostel(?) 8 people to a room, common kitchen, bath and living area. 

Even with the extra day in the weekend, I didn't get everything done! (sigh) I'm moving a little slower these days. Plus it rained. :(  My kids still claim I get more done in a day then they do all week. LOL Canning season.... Yesterday day at work was catch up and boy were we Busy!  Started early, worked into lunch, started afternoon back early and stayed late. today looks no different. I have 3 practitioners today!!!  Geez getting too Old for this! 

Sept. 1st. new owner took over the practice. Right in the middle of the week and Month-ends! And hours changed!!  They wanted to raise prices too, I put my foot DOWN, Price change will go in effect Oct. 1st. 

Gotta run, Hope you all have a Fantastic day
