I couldn’t believe it was true…

I couldn’t believe it was true.

My eyes filled with tears,

I must have aged 10 years,

I couldn’t believe it was true.

Sadly, it is true.  The blogs we have been posting for 5 years and more will be gone in a flash come March 2011.  Yes, WLS will move them to Word Press and I did try that with one of my spaces that I don’t post on very often.  It is very blah looking.  Your posts are imported with the photos that are part of the blog included plus comments.  And that is about it guys, nothing else is moved.  For my main space I downloaded to my hard drive,  It took a few minutes and the photos in the posts are nothing but Xs. I had 5 blogs on spaces.  I have deleted 2 of them completely, moved one and still have my main space and recipe space to decide on.  I have downloaded the photo albums I wanted to save and deleted the rest.  In March I will delete my main space.  I will try and find a home for my recipe space as it is one I have dedicated to Jim.

I have been on a grocery shopping binge this morning.  First to County Market where Del Monte canned veggies on sale @ 50 cents each along with a coupon where you buy 12 cans and get $2 off, plus lots of other good bargains,  Then on to Kroger where I stocked up on TV dinners.

This week has been a tough one for me while I am winding down from a big rush of company last week.  I miss my sister even though she did holler for coffee a lot and I don’t drink coffee anymore.  LOL  It is lonely again.

I got my all combined flu shot last Friday with no adverse reactions.  Now I have had a pneumonia and flu shot this year and I hope to be protected.

For some reason I have a headache today so I think I am heading for a couple of Tylenol and the recliner.  Still don’t have my back door finished.  It is in but still needs lots of trim work done on it.  I am heading to Walmart tomorrow to get lots of heavy duty weather stripping.

I hope you are all having a good week.

Oh what a week…

My sister is home safe now having arrived home about midnight last night.  We had a wonderful time and it will be lonesome around here for awhile until I get used to the quiet again.  We didn’t get to do all  we wanted to and her husband has informed me that I would have to be the one doing the traveling next time as he missed her so much.  So maybe I will get up the courage to get on that plane next year.

My son came to visit us on Friday.  I was really happy to see him as I hadn’t seen him since early June.  He brought me a box of the lovely hand made chocolates that I like so well.  My brother and sis in law visited on Tuesday.  They were just back from a cruise to Mexico, so for my birthday I got a T Shirt with Puerto Vallarta printed on the front and a pink sweatshirt that read “Don’t listen to my sister, I am the favorite” on the front of it, plus a tote bag and other items from Mexico.  My daughter and son in law gave me a beautiful birthday cake and took us all out to eat yesterday at Red Lobster in Peoria.  My sis brought me Willow Tree “Sisters by Heart.”  Pictures below.  They are so beautiful.  When facing each other they interlock hands in prayer.

And now I am so tired it will take me a week to get rested up.  It was worth it though!!  Thanks again to all of you who sent me emails, cards, and gifts!  As our old blogging friend Al used to say “Love Ya.”

Thank you!!!

 

Thank you to all of you for the emails and birthday cards.  I appreciate them so much.  My blogging friends are the greatest!

A beautiful scarf from my Twin!!  I purchased this jacket to wear with it.

Because of a mixup in the mail Twin sent me another scarf.  So now I have an early Christmas present.

These lovely bracelets are from my Sis in Michigan. 

Birthday cards.  Thank you so much all of you for thinking of me.  I love you all.

Wednesday, short update and a bit of a rant…

I am truly enjoying having my sister’s visit.  Yesterday my brother and sister in law from close to St Louis came to visit us.  We had a nice visit and ate lunch at Kouri’s.  I am waiting for pictures that my bother took with his great camera equipment.

And that leads me to my first rant.  I am taking my new camera that I bought back to WalMart.  It takes fuzzy pictures for some reason.  Below is a picture of my sis that I took today with my old camera.  I am not in the mood to buy another camera now as I am thoroughly disgusted.

And now since I am on a roll, I will go on to my second rant.  Just as my company came yesterday they came over to put the new back door on.  He did not finish up and came back today so I have had to hang around the house all day and still more work to be done.  Then tomorrow the comcast guy comes to the house.  Rae and I haven’t had a chance to run around hardly at all.

I miss all of you and I will catch up next week.
