I do have a life...


I have been so anxious to get back on here and post another blog but thought having more than one in a day might show that I sit with my laptop way too many hours in the day wasting time where if I waited one day before posting again it would seem that I have some sort of a life. I have played with some of the pictures I've taken on this site called Picnik that Kayla told me about. Here are a couple examples from some pictures of flowers from my yard. I have been learning while I'm recuperating so that's a good thing. See...it has been educational sitting around doing nothing while I recuperate.
















Anyways, I just got a call from my wonderful husband just checking to see how I'm feeling today. See how blessed I am! I really do have a terrific husband. The joke is that it's only taken 31 years to get him trained the way I want him so I think I'll keep him. Actually, he's been a good husband all along. Very kind and loving and oh, so funny! He knows how to make me laugh! He's been a great dad to our daughters and a fun grandpa as well. I wouldn't trade him for anything! Besides all that, he's good looking too. Woo woo!

I also got a call from Del Ann at work and she said things are running smooth there but that I'm missed and also that another friend would like to bring a meal tomorrow evening. More blessings...to be missed and another wonderful friend with a meal. I know I should probably say, "No, that's okay, we're doing fine and don't need another meal", but not me, no, instead I said, "Oh, that's so nice of her!". Which it is very nice of her but to turn down a free meal when, like I said yesterday, how spoiled my husband's getting with all the good food, and this way I get to visit with another sweet friend of mine. Her and her husband are a couple of the nicest people you could meet.
Another blessing...my sweet, pregnant daughter, Kayla had also called to check in with me and visit this morning. Did I say that she's pregnant? Yep, her & her husband will be first time parents some time in February. I can't wait! I love this being a Gramma! I have two grandsons already that are the joy of my life by my oldest daughter, Heidi. They are 7 and almost 4 and light up your world when they're around. They sure know how to make a Gramma feel loved!
Well, I don't think blogs are supposed to be books so I guess I'd better sign off for a while so anyone who actually reads this would think I do have a life...

Just the beginning...

Well, thanks to my daughter, Kayla, I have created my first blog. I've enjoyed reading hers and a few others so thought I'd try this myself. I am off work for a while recuperating from surgery so thought this would be the perfect time. Speaking of being home recuperating... along with the name of my blog "Pond-ering my blessings" I have to mention just how blessed I am. I have some of the nicest people in my life. They are my friends but they are also my "family". They have kept my husband and I supplied with meals for these days I've been home and having to take it easy. And delicious meals at that! My husband is getting very spoiled as he's not used to such wonderful meals all the time. They have blessed me with beautiful plants and flowers and the most important of all...their friendship.
I have to say that although I like my job, I have enjoyed relaxing by my pond and reading and playing around on my laptop working on this blogging stuff. It makes me want to go out and take a bunch of pictures now to show you all my pond and my fish and my flowers before the white, fluffy stuff appears and covers it all. I know it's only August but it does seem like it was just the first of June a couple weeks ago.
Well, thanks Kayla, for getting me started here. I think I will take a break and go get those pictures I talked about...
