Happy new Year!

Happy New Year? I hope so because last year was bad.

This Year started off wonky but in the good news department I am going  to be  a Grandmother again by Daughter # 2. yay for me .

It is due in September and she gets to choose the date. I pray she will be ok. I guess I better get started on a blanket and not tell her.LOL.

Little Liam is 2.6 years old and can’t wait to be a big brother so he says. He speaks and understands well beyond his years. Oh yeah.

I hope it isn’t too much in such a short time . They bought a house last year and a new Pug Jack! Willie passed away.Jack is worse than Liam . Liam is a good boy. So a house, Liam ,pug, and a new Baby soon.God Bless her!Hubby works hard at the Fire Station at Newport Navy Base so he has long weird hours. Mum and Son miss Dad. Jack the Pug does too. That is one thank- less job!

My other 2 Grandchildren Seth and Alyssa are doing well too. Alyssa is in the GATE Class and Seth is a mentor for one of his past Teachers son. Seth is in 7 th grade and this is an honor.

My necklace’s for the Teacher’s were a hit again, The Head Mistress stopped me in the store and told me . I have been making these for a long time and next year will be my last for Alyssa as she will move into middle school.

Where does the time go? Only yesterday they were babies and now all the babies are grown or growing too quickly. Happy times before. Not too many now.

It takes forever to get going and I hurt every place.

Depression and Arthritis is a terrible thing and DO NOT let anyone tell you that it isn’t. I have this all my life and it gets old after awhile.

I try to stay upbeat but it is hard and I miss my 2 deceased husbands my Family my job everything! get a grip Patsy I say get a grip. There are people worse than me.

I pray everyday to get a Grip and keep a hold on it. The pain and limited use of parts of my body get to me. I DO Not LIKE GETTING OLD!!

My Daughter # 1 is mad she hasn’t done as well as her Friend’s in the UK. That is her fault. She never listened and gave me a hard time and now she is stuck in a crappy job as it isn’t Government funded. She blames me for moving back her to the States. What could I do? I had to. I didn’t want too.I will not let her do this to me again I will not. She made her choice her she can live with it. I sure picked a hard path to follow before I was born. To get back to the story….Shw wants to move back to UK.I would gladly go if I thought we could make a go of it there. Then again I would miss Daughter # 2 that was born in UK. So I guess I will just die here by myself with no one. Pitty Party with Patsy…NO I WILL NOT DO THIS!!!!!!!! I am alive I can move a little I will get thru this I am strong all my life.

Well off to get my Squares done. Finishing up my GMcP Winter from the Vanna site, Finished my Granny squares for charitY AND HAVE TO GET GOING ON BABETTE AND FATHER BUTLERS BLANKET NEVER MIND THE NEW BABY’S. I am so tired .

God give me the energy to get thru today. Amen.

Happy New Year Folks and I hope it is a good one.

XOXO

Back Again !!

Just got some really lovely Debbie Bless Stella Yarn frormStitch Bewitch in Scotland in yummy colors.

Lavender color, a blueberry blueish, sunny yellowish,carmelish & a pumpkiny orange. So soft. LOVING the feel of it. 60% silk,20% rayon,20% cotton. OH MY OH MY OH MY !!! Now to get my hands on some Stylecraft Special DK and some Rico Cotton. That will have to wait.

Almost Susan Cowsill Band time again. They do a lovely show as do the Cowsills. Nice People too. All of them. Yay can’t wait.

It has been a long hot summer here and now it has gone right into cooler  Fall. I saw tips of leaves turning in June. Go figure. Soon it will be time to start baking and making stews and turning on the heat. I am not looking forward to the cold.

We all have colds this week or that bug.UGH.

I am trying to get ahead of my Crafty things on RAVELRY.. So far so good. Knock on wood.

This Summer Aug 28th I went to see my Fav Lady Singer. That would be the Fab MS Stevie Nicks. We had 2nd row seats and I will never ever forget her kindness. She is a true Lady and so lovely inside and out. A show of a lifetime.

I spent lovely Wednesdays  shopping with my little Grandaughter and roasted chicken dinner. This is what she wanted. I miss her now that she is back to school. She is knitting very well now. She is in the Gifted and Talented Class this year.

Grandson #1 came over too but he wants to do the computer. so this is what took up his time and he helped me a lot around the house.

Then there is the baby LOL. I saw him a few times too.All blonde and beautiful and smart. What fun he is.

I am so blessed with such wonderful smart Grandchildren. Thank you Lord !!

Life is so so and I am still here . Thank the Lord. I need something good to happen . I wish the Family would grow up and get together. Life is too short. It is going to be lonely for me these Holidays. If we can’t all get together then I will be sitting home alone as I am not playing pit Mom against each other games. No fun and too stressful. I am not up to par as yet from May.

I am trying to finish all my projects for the Teachers Christmas Gifts and other things. There won’t be much this year. Oh well. I can’t worry about this.

I wish you all Love , Happiness, and Peace.

XOXO

Summer & Hookie

Hookie as the yarn fun type.

I just finished Blankie # 6 and in this terrible 100 degree heat even with the AC it is hot!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Now on to my Ravelry site squares.

I love that site and Attic 24 blog. We sure do love Lucy and her fab colors!!!! Still have my bag to finish up. Along with my other projects.

It is way too hot to do outdoor things for me. So I read and do my crafts . Sometimes to hot for that too.LOL.

I got to sit at different times for my lovely Grandkids.

Yay for me. .I love to do that it is a treat and nothing like a kid hug, or bring told you smell good or something that you made smells like you. I love my Family!!!! I am lucky troubles and all.

Off to sort out my stash now. Wish I could put pictures on this site but computer sucks.

Oh yes saw an online copy of my Highschool year book. Oh geeshhhhhhhh. HEHE.

Peace & Blessings,

~P~

A Surprise Visit

Whew The Month of May was hell and it stll is in many ways and it is June.
Let me tell you a shortened version of my story.
There I was happy to be doing my yarn hooking and thinking of gifts for my Grand Children’s Teacher’s for the end of school. I make them stuff.
About 4 AM in the Morning on May 1st I became ill .I thought I was going to die .
I knew my Doctor opened at seven on Saturdays. I went and they couldn’t see me and said to go to the Drugstore. Yeah right. I did. Five Minutes later I went to hospital.
They kept me there for hours doing daft things that didn’t help and sent me to the Drugstore????? Jerks. I passed out there. I managed to get down the street to my house. Called beautiful Daughter Number one as couldn’t get Beautiful Daughter Number Two she lives farther away.
Daughter Number one comes and takes me to hospital where I stayed till late Saturday the Day before Mom’s Day. The insurance ran out. JOY FOR ME. NOT!!!!
Had to find a place to stay so went to Friends for 2 weeks in bed.
Back to story.
I had a Gall Bladder that was Gangreen and I almost passed away. A trip from hell.
I knew I was going to die.I had one of my little things and knew.
Daughter number 2 was a Trooper and stayed the whole time.
It was going to take 1 1/2 hours and took 4 1/2 hours.
I spoke to people that were not even there. LOL. Not good on Meds at all.
The thing that got me through and saved me was God and Nan God Rest Her Soul. Right before I went under I smelled her White Diamonds Perfume and knew I was under her Angel Wing. I had the best of the best Doctor thank God. Can’t give him enough stars.
I am so grateful to be alive.
I don’t care how little I have in my life and that I am alone. I am alive.
I am still in pain and lot’s of scars I have. The stitches on the out side are healing well and inside slower and they hurt.
I can’t do much and the pain sucks but I am alive to feel them.
Still on Meds for the Gas and heartburn.
I have to watch what I eat and do.
I am trying to take things one day at a time and ask for help when I need it.
If you get any little pain go to the Doctor.You just never know.
Have a great Summer and enjoy life.
Peace

XOXO

Rain…………..

Every darn Sunday we want to go to Newport it rains.

Today rain. We are going anyway. The one nice day we couldn’t go .

I am sure the pictures won’t come out and it sucks when it rains and I can’t walk.

I am sure we will have a great time.

Have you ever taken pictures of clouds and seen Angels or stuff in them. I have noticed a lot of them.

Well need to run. My ride will be here.

Catch you later.

Updates

Got the Dooney & Bourke Scottiedog Bag. (CHECK )

Got the Laptop now to hook it up.   (CHECK)

Pain free sort of today. ( That is great ) .

This computer erasing every darn thing I write.   (UGHHHH)

Car…………… I don’t think it can be fixed. ( We will see) .

Landlady kicked out 3 nasty Families    ( Great  Great ).

Running out of stash yarn. Need more next week. So I am now down to doing 2 Blankets at the same time. I did 3 at a time a few Months ago for the 3 Grand Kids.

It is so good for nerves to do that. LOL.

The good ole US is once again cold in my part. A few weeks

ago 92 degrees out. Back to the Norm now. 60 is better than

 nothing.

When I get hooked up to the new computer I can post Pics. No memory here.

The sun is out. It took all day. Only in New England.

I hope when my Daughter has her house warming it is nice out.. That will be a busy weekend. My Grandson’s Birthday too. That is at the end of May. You just never know here.

I bet my flowere are out in England. I collected and planted them from the time I went to live there till I left. We lived in was a Bluebelle Meadow. Lovely. I had 2 good sized yards with rockery and Blackberries and an overhang Apple Tree. Currants and Horseraddish. Peonys and Iris. That darn Brackenhedge too. Ouch.

We could walk every place as we were in a good part of the area and things were close.

I miss the my home, my friends, Gardens,shops,the GREAT WOOL !! Our trips out and about.

The city center and the lovely little school where the Kids went.

I see all their Friend’s on line and think wow all grown up and I feel really sad. My GrandKids are that age now. Soon they will be grown up.

This will craft week as I will invite the little one over to do them with me.

The big boy wants to be on his computer all the time. So the little Missy will be here to give him a break.

So back to the Blanket for now as I have a good light to work

 by.

Take care to next time .

What To Do With Limited Money.

I need things and what to so about it with no money?

I need a new computer very badly.

I need to get some things fixed on the little junk car I had to get and which I love dearly flaws and all.

I would love a new Dooney & Bourke Handbag. Yes I am a Handbag freak.

I would love a new couch as the Kids broke mine and I sort of fixed it but it could fall flat at any time.

I need Beads for my items for my GrandDaughter’s Teachers .I have to start early because of my hands.

Ah yes……I so want a Kitchen Aid Mixer so badly. I want  a Green or Gray one . ( Should I pay the bills or not this month )? LOL.

I would love to go to Connecticut to get my Aunts stuff God Bless her soul.

(Last year in July, Aug & Dec there were deaths in the Family)

The loss of a Childhood Friend because of Drama not death thank God.

I pray that my Sister Lee makes out ok with her heart. There is always something .

Whatever happened to the good old days. I am still a Hippie at heart. What happened to the body? OUCH !

Mark my words Kid it is not fun being my age. Speaking of…My 58th Birthday is March 8th. Again alone. I never thought my life would be this way ever. Then again I do believe that one follows ones own path that they have chosen. I have always believed that . I love Sylvia Browne. She is one smart cookie and I will miss her when her time on Earth is done.

More snow on the way just a little but that means more Pain for me. Pain which I am sick of and only gets worse every day. Some days I can’t move. Nice at almost 58 isn’t it? Watch what you do at a young age or you will end up like me. Which I don’t cotton to at all.

I am glad that I have to get up each day to take the Grand Kids to school or I would just stay in bed. I need to get moving on my crafts. I just don’t feel like it.

On this note I will love you and leave you. Still thinking where the money will come from? SIGH…………………..

Peace.

XOXO
