Happy Monday to You!!

Happy Monday Sweet Friends,

*

So how was your weekend???

Full of good things I hope......

*

We had a very nice weekend.  We started off

by watching some planet Earth videos for

the 2nd time.  The kids gave them to Jimmy

for this birthday or Father's day last year.

They are so fascinating!!

*

Saturday we went to a  graduation party and

 saw a lot of people we have known for years but 

don't get to see all that often,  so that was fun! 

 and of course,  there was great food as well.  Yum!!

 Tried to go to another one  for  2 lil gals from our 

church but it was held at a Park and we couldn't

 get in because there was not enough parking

 spaces and there was a long line waiting to go

 in,  so we thought,  oh well,  we tried!!

*

After we left the party we ran errands and

had a fun rest of the day.  We made a day

out of it,  and it was good to get out of 

house for a while.

*

Sunday we went to church as usual,  and

then some friends wanted to take us out

to lunch at Chili's.  That was a very

sweet and fun surprise,  and we had a

very nice time. Came home and tried to

read the paper but kept falling asleep,

so gave it up and took a nap. When I 

got up I was able to call my neighbor

 who has the daughter  in the hospital,

that I told you about in Sundays post.  

Was able to find her brothers cell phone

 number,  so got her number from him 

thankfully!!

*

There has been some slight improve-

ment,  but Aly has a long road ahead.

She has already had 3 surgeries, and  

they are suppose to transfer her to the

 Shriner's hospital in Pa. sometime this 

month.  They know no one in Jacksonville

 or in Pa. Deanna is just living at the

 hospital with her,  she has had to give

 up her job as well.

I am gonna see if I can get ahold of

a Pastor from one of our churches up

in that area to maybe see if they can

send someone to visit them at least.

*

We worked outside bright and early

this morning, from 8- 11:30. Mowing and all,

 cause it has been raining in the afternoons.

So it is all done and looks beautifully green

 and lush because of all the rain lately.

*

We also did a few other lil projects that

we have been wanting to do,  like drill

a hole in a big pot so we could wrap the

hose in it,  looks so much nicer.

*

Also, moved a lil tree that is in a pot,

 by our front door,  but had to find a

saucer to put under it first so it didn't

make a big mess on the porch everytime

I water it.  So liked that too.

*

Put a new hose out we had bought about

a month ago that is guaranteed not to

kink!!  We tried it out and so far so good.

I am so glad the other one finally went,

cause it was a pain in the neck.  lol

*

Weeded the flower bed around the mailbox

 and cleaned it up so I can paint the post

 tonight or sometime this week.

*

Then we came in and had a nice lil

lunch of leftover pizza and salad,  cause 

we definitely worked up an appetite!!

Took showers and now we are chilling!!  lol

*

Hubby said now I know why retired

people's places always look so perfect

and nice!!  lol   and I said yea, they

have plenty of time to do whatever

they want, nice huh!!  He said yea it is!!

*

Well,  tomorrow I have a Dr. appt. for my

annual physical!!   I just can't wait!!  lol

That was facetious, you know!!  

But we must do these things,  actually,

I would rather be drug behind a bus!! lol

Just Kidding!! 

That is definitely a lil overstated!! lol

Really,  I am thankful I can go, 

  that was my ugly alter ego

Ellie talking!!  lol

*

Well,  Sweetie Pies,

thanks for praying for Aly and her Mom,

I told her yall were praying and she was

so happy to hear that.

*

Hope you have a lovely evening and

rest of the day!!

*

Blessings Galore,

Nellie
