Interesting journey, always looking for interesting blogs and their owners from all places and walks of life...<br />
<br />
Then I thought I'd do an update for those of you who have been following along for years, so here goes:<br />
<br />
Honey Bear was an engineer and had a varied career which took us to different states in the south....then in 2011 he retired from that work, went to learn a new skill and worked in home health for 8 years. In 2019 he gave that up and is now volunteering with Hospice and Downtown Rescue Mission. He, also, is painting again and on Friday's goes to the Senior Center to attend an art class. He keeps his painting supplies and the works in progress out in the dining room where the light is good....In addition, he has his yard, garden and chickens to care for.<br />
<br />
I have been a homemaker for the majority of my married life...I don't stay as busy with activities outside the home as I once did but I still keep busy with various clubs and groups.<br />
<br />
I have written about my daughter some and the wee ones...not so wee anymore....The Princess started at Auburn University last fall....<br />

There is the promise of sunshine this afternoon.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
Outside my window I see a few snow flurries...Here in Alabama, we tend to get excited when we have snow as it is rare.<br />

<br />
See this Bluebird...we keep suet out year round and we get to see the insect eaters who rarely come to the seed feeders...It is a blessing to see the birds and it a favorite pastime at our house.<br />
<br />
I read about the fires and all of the smoke plus drought in Australia on some of your blogs....oh how I wish I could send you some of the rain we've had this winter...I have to pinch myself sometimes when I tend to complain about the weather because what we get would be such a blessing to others.<br />
<br />
I have found on someone's blog about cleaning and tidying your pantry...I had been thinking I needed to do this but the task seemed so overwhelming but she said to do it a section at a time and that is what I am going to do...I also found a stock-up list for our pantries which allows you to have a year supply of food by adding just a few items a week. This seems like a worthy chore to me.<br />
<br />
Okay, I am going to end this post now as I am going to a friend's house for lunch and a movie...<br />

Some days it has been dark and depressing inside. I have tried to bring in more light or go for a walk and that does help some but I'm not sure it is enough.<br />
I have spent too much time sitting in my easy chair reading.<br />
<br />
Hopefully, February will be better.<br />

Outside my window...<br />
Green, and more green! I see Squirrels<br />
scampering, birds flitting, chickens scratching<br />
and sun shinning...62 degrees and<br />
expecting a high of 85</div>
<div style="color: #666666; font-family: vollkorn; font-size: 18px; line-height: 25.2px; text-align: center;">

about doing this and that...I've often<br />
said that if I did all I think about, I<br />
would accomplish a lot...</div>

every day, and it is nice to spend time at home<br />
occasionally</div>

I seem to have lost the last 3 months...where does time go...seems the older I get, the quicker it goes by...<br />
I think about you often and sometimes I lurk and read your posts without commenting.<br />
<br />
I have been doing some sewing, some sorting and discarding....mostly back therapy has taken much of my time...<br />
<br />
Spring has come to North Alabama and with it the pollen....Everything outside my window is green with blooms scattered here and there....<br />
<br />
We have chickens again and they are a joy to watch...I began chatting with them when they were still little so they would get used to my voice...now whenever I go out to see them, they come running to me, chattering away...wonder what they're saying...There are 6 hens and they are 11 weeks old.<br />
<br />
My grands have all grown up when I wasn't looking...they are 25, 23, 21, 19, and 18....The youngest graduates high school next month....3 are in college, Georgia Southern, South Carolina, and Auburn...<br />
<br />
I've never watched Basketball but this year I've become a fan as the Auburn team has gone to the play-offs for the first time in 30 years...they're all the way to the final 4, playing Virginia today....War Eagle.<br />
They won the SEC title as did Auburn's Equestrian team....I've followed the Gymnastics which I love watching.<br />

Weather is weird, the temperature is in the 60s and it is very windy. Storms are on the way.<br />
<br />
Honey Bear went back to work today. First his client was in hospital and then in rehabilitation. He came home on Christmas Day and this is Honey Bear's first day to work although he visited Dennis in hospital and nursing home. We have spent a great deal of time together and this is the first morning I've had the house to myself. I'm enjoying it. I did a little tidying in the studio, put away boxes and bags and trash. But first I slept until 8:00 a.m. which is very unusual for me.<br />
<br />
We had a guest over the past week. Wonder Boy came on Christmas Eve and stayed until Saturday afternoon. We didn't see much of him as he prefers to stay in his room, sleeping during the day and being up and on his computer during the night. He has gone back to Auburn although school is out for another week, I believe. He is living in an apartment so he has that option.<br />
<br />
Both Honey Bear and I have been on a eating plan since the second week of October. He fasts some and usually doesn't eat until after 2:00. I still eat 3 meals most days but have cut out most carbs and sweets and do not eat except at meals. We're eating lots of veggies and protein. He has lost 22 pounds while I've only lost 11. Part of that is because I haven't been active enough. I finally had an MRI of my spine and it is in a mess. The surgeon doesn't want to do surgery because of my breathing problems so he's trying other solutions starting with therapy.<br />
<br />
I haven't really thought about goals or hopes for 2019. Looking back on this year, I was not in the best of health and haven't really accomplished that much. One thing I plan to do is get my studio in order so that maybe I'll have a desire to work in there again.<br />
<br />
Okay, I need to get up and move and Smokey is sitting here beside me, nudging my hand to try and get me to feed him lunch, so this will be it for this post. I hope to be back soon.Love Bears All Thingshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04091529156071883508noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8349086807912137813.post-59732554770252159242018-10-01T10:11:00.000-04:002018-10-01T14:11:56.330-04:00A Simple Woman's Daybook<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

We enjoyed sitting outside, listening, eating our picnic dinner and sharing a bottle of wine. We spent the night nearby, returning home on Sunday.... This past Saturday, we rode with Daughter and the Princess to Auburn. Its about a 4 hour drive and we left at 8am. She has bought a condo there that Wonder Boy is living in while he attends university. He had gone down the weekend before and there were some repairs that needed 'seeing to' so Granddaddy had to see to them. In all fairness, she did try to get two different handymen to come out with no luck. The oven needed a new element. The banister needed reinforcing. A funky light needed a new bulb which had to be ordered. We got down there in time to do some of the repairs, have lunch, check into our hotel and meet Wonder Boy for dinner. We came home Sunday.<br />
<br />
Today is National Thrift Shop Day....the ladies in my club decided to meet for breakfast and go shopping. We went to three thrift stores. We have a project to make fidget blankets for Alzheimer's patients and donate them to a Nursing Home so we were shopping for items for that. I decided to use a couple of thick pillow shams and sew the activities onto that. I bought a pair of jeans to get the pockets and zipper and a little stuffed toy which I'll sew to a ribbon and sew on near the pocket so it can be taken out and put back. I went on Pinterest and got some other ideas.<br />
I bought a quilt and will wash it before I show it to you. Its a bow tie pattern and is in good shape. Also picked up a few canning jars and a corning ware dish with plastic lid.<br />
<br />
On the health front, I thought I was a month away from finishing the Fungal infection treatment but Monday my Doctor said 6 weeks. I'm to have a CT scan of my lung in 5 weeks to see if all the yucky stuff is gone. I have been feeling good except for the aches and pains of arthritis but 1 mg of Prednesone helps with that. I have Holly Cottage all pinned and ready to quilt and worked a little on the Fall quilt. Produce keeps coming in and has to be dealt with: Okra and Peas and Pepper, oh my.<br />
<br />
I've been by to see a few of you but haven't left a footprint or comment. Just time to read and hard to type with Smokey between me and the keyboard.<br />
That's all for now,<br />

As I said, Daughter moved into an apartment which meant downsizing quite a bit...for some reason, I keep bringing things home she has discarded...I don't need them and it just means she'll be sorting them again..For example: Longaburger baskets. She had many more than I have and she did try to sale them on EBay and at her yard sale..Guess they're not as popular as they once were. I've ended up with 4 or 5 of hers and I'm not sure I'll keep them.<br />
<br />
I've had a good week. Monday, I laid out the top and batting for Holly Cottage then realized the batting would need piecing. The backing does also and I haven't gotten that done yet, although I did get the pieces ready to stitch together....Tuesday I had an appointment with my Pulmonologist and he said I didn't need to come back for 6 months. Ya me! Now to just finish treatment with the Infectious Disease physician which I hope will happen in September....Wednesday, I went for a haircut and it is a little too short for my liking but it will grow...don't think I'll need a haircut in 3 weeks, though. I've been doing some baking: Blueberry Muffins, Pumpkin Bread to freeze, Blackberry Cobbler, and a Pineapple upside down cake. Most of this I shared with other people...We had fried okra and sliced cucumbers from the garden to go with other items I cooked. Wednesday the temperature was a little lower and we were able to enjoy the porch in the evening, after we doused ourselves in insect repellent. We saw a juvenile Red Headed Woodpecker and then an adult. These sightings are rare so such a blessing. Yesterday, I went to Book Club. We had read The Hamilton Affair and had a good discussion.<br />
That's it for this week,<br />

We have had plenty of rain up until last week. It seems to have gone to other places now. The cotton and corn in the fields looks wonderful and is thriving. Temperatures are in the high 80s most days but the humidity makes it seem hotter.<br />
<br />
From his garden we have been enjoying tomatoes, okra, and cucumbers. I didn't plant flowers this year as I wasn't feeling well. We've been getting some nice melons from the market. We pickled beets and canned vegetable soup.<br />
<br />
I've not done any work in the studio in months due to my health but now that I am feeling well again, I'm itching to lose myself in a project. I bought the batting and backing for Holly Cottage and need to finish that one.<br />
<br />
School starts this Wednesday. It seems like a short time ago, that they got out for the summer. The Princess will be a senior this year. She is working a couple of jobs but still enjoying time at the pool since she and Mom moved into their apartment complex. She will only attend school for 3 hours every day then go to work. Wonder Boy will return to uni August 11. I've only communicated with him via text and not seen him much. He has had an intern job this summer at one of the government contractors here in town and is still living in the house. I'm hoping to have lunch with him one Saturday before he leaves for school.<br />
<br />
I am still not fully recovered. They diagnosed a fungal lung infection after I had the Bronchoscopy and I'll be taking medication for that for four months. The last lab work I had showed that the medicine is affecting my liver function. We're just hoping it doesn't become too much of a problem before treatment is finished in September. I have my asthma under control at the moment which is wonderful and I am finally able to exercise again. I've been walking on the treadmill. It is too hot to walk out doors.<br />
That is an update on life here with the bears. I'd like to get back to blogging but I'm not making any promises.Love Bears All Thingshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04091529156071883508noreply@blogger.com8tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8349086807912137813.post-39175121252395266692018-03-24T07:45:00.000-04:002018-03-24T07:45:04.842-04:00Funny Friday<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

so everyone else has been camping in the bedroom to be near her...</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<i><span style="color: blue; font-size: large;"><br /></span></i>
<i><span style="color: blue; font-size: large;">A couple of my blogging friends post Friday Faves which I enjoy reading...it is a look back at the past week and events, etc. which were highlights and blessings. I have a few:</span></i><br />
<i><span style="color: blue; font-size: large;">1.Coming home from hospital and having a good Oxygen level with improved shortness of breath. </span></i><br />
<div>
<i><span style="color: blue; font-size: large;"><br /></span></i></div>
<div>
<i><span style="color: blue; font-size: large;">2. Flowers, cards and visits from my sisterhood.</span></i></div>
<div>
<i><span style="color: blue; font-size: large;"><br /></span></i></div>
<div>
<i><span style="color: blue; font-size: large;">Alabama's passing of the resolution to leave our clocks alone...we will stay Daylight Savings Time and not change in the Fall...</span></i></div>
<div>
<i><span style="color: blue; font-size: large;"><br /></span></i></div>
<div>
<i><span style="color: blue; font-size: large;">3. Going to the thrift store to buy a cane (need something to steady me while I'm recovering) and finding one just the right height for me for $2. God had just placed it there, I'm sure.</span></i></div>
<div>
<i><span style="color: blue; font-size: large;"><br /></span></i></div>
<div>
<i><span style="color: blue; font-size: large;">4. My "Team" being in the Basketball playoffs and winning there first game.</span></i></div>
<div>
<i><span style="color: blue; font-size: large;"><br /></span></i></div>
<div>
<i><span style="color: blue; font-size: large;">The view from my window: Seeing Mama Rabbit, and different birds.</span></i></div>
<div>
<i><span style="color: blue; font-size: large;">I just read on line that it can take 6 weeks or more to recover from the fatigue of Pneumonia which helped me to understand why I tire so easily...I'm going to just be patient and accept that I have limitations for a while.</span></i></div>
<div>
<i><span style="color: blue; font-size: large;">Thanks for all the comments and Prudence, if you lived nearby, I'd just take you up on your offer of help.</span></i><br />
<i><span style="color: #000025; font-size: large;"><br /></span></i>
<i><span style="color: #000037; font-size: large;">And finally for National Quilting Day:</span></i><br />

<span style="color: blue; font-size: large;"><i>After being taken to the emergency room and being admitted to hospital, I finally had Walking Pneumonia as a diagnosis for my health problems of past months.

We didn't go to church and actually haven't gone since Christmas. I miss it but it is a long walk from the front to the auditorium and then I have to sit on the first row of the balcony because the slanted floor plays havoc with my equilibrium. This requires a couple of steps and I'm not sure I'm up to that yet.<br />
<br />
It will be a quiet day at home for us except we are going to get a bite to eat around one. We had pancakes and sausage for breakfast. Usually when we eat lunch out on Sunday we have enough leftovers to make our evening meal at home.<br />
<br />
I have finally gotten everything moved back into the furniture pieces which we had to empty for the flooring guys. They really made a mess of the house with pad trimmings and dust from the saw so it will be a few days before my "girls" come to clean and in the meantime, I've learned to accept the things I cannot change. Life today is what it is.<br />
<br />
I'm going to try and post more regular. Tomorrow, I have to go for bloodwork first thing before coffee and breakfast. Hopefully the wait want be too long. Its a first come first served situation and one never knows how long it will be. I hope there isn't anyone in the waiting room with flu. Maybe I'll request a mask.<br />
<br />
How are you spending your weekend?<br />

First an update on my health: Saw the specialist on Monday and he has taken me off inhalers and just wants me to do breathing treatments for now....plus tests and more tests. Okay, enough about that.<br />
<br />
We are seeing the first signs of Spring which are nice. Daffodils are blooming as are the Ornamental Plum trees....Lots of bird activity going on outside my window. We've been seeing temps in the 70s, in fact it was 72 in the house when I got up this morning. Too bad, I can't get out and walk some but still having shortness of breath.<br />
<br />
We had new flooring put in two rooms and a hall this week so lots of moving around of non-furniture items. The workers moved the larger pieces....Also, Honey Bear and I needed to move our living room TV and recliners closer together so we could see better...(older eyesight, etc.).<br />
<br />
I've been doing some sewing on the Fall quilt this week and still need to prepare the large block for Holly Cottage for applique and stitching....The first week in March is our annual Retreat for some of my friends...this year 10 or 11 are going which is a good number as we're usually only around 8...so I'm trying to get some work sorted to take along...haven't decided about taking my sewing machine...I have some cutting and pre-sewing work I can do on the Fall quilt without the machine...I need to make a trip to Hobby Lobby for border material for Holly Cottage, also. Daughter and I were going on Thursday bu when we got there the electricity was out for about 2 miles on one side of the highway and the stores were dark...<br />
<br />
Well, that is a little news from our house....I will try to post more often but can't promise anything.<br />
