BLOG DESCRIPTION:
Shi Blogs Too: from out of the mountains where I live. I will now be keeping a journal. This is something new for me. I have no idea what I am doing, just that I am diving in. This should be an interesting journey for me. Mainly because I consider myself to be a semi-private person. I live with my fiance and our two kitties, in what I have come to recognize as a small community in a somewhat remote area. Retirement has it's own life style and livelihood. Far away from the norm.

Another year has slipped by. Lets see the latest news is - my left foot healed good after I broke two bones in it last summer! I wore a heavy boot for walking on my foot for 3 months and it came off on Christmas Eve. So I guess that was my best Christmas gift ever. Then in January we made our 5th. trip to Hawaii. We so deserved it after my confinement for weeks on end. We had a very nice visit in May from Ron's son Noel his wife Albina and their seven boys from Minnesota. Yes, I said SEVEN. They stayed in a rented cottage across the road from us. They helped grandpa celebrate his 74th. birthday while they were here. We really enjoyed all of them. They ranged in age 14 down to 15 months. Really good kids and smart too. They had a four day visit with us. I am going to be a great grandmother with my first biological great granddaughter due this month in just a few days! Very excited about her arriving and praying for a smooth arrival. I have been making trinkets here like crazy. I really enjoy working with the images and I don't mind spending the GPs to do it. I seems I forget more now than ever, and I find it is easier to work with images than it is to write much anymore. I spend time on Facebook also as it keeps me in touch with my kids and grandkids which is nice being as how we are so many miles apart. They still come and visit when they can and we drive down for special occasions, but most the time I take the train and ride a ferry when I go down to visit them. Noel, Albina and boys. |
