Another day in my special place

Image
 Well this is day two am I on a roll?  Weather here was mixed nice then cool and then windy.  Oh well that is better than snow.   I worked on my quilt again and found a problem so I will spend tomorrow unpicking some of it to fix it.  Oh well live and learn. Walked out in my yard and my crab apple tree is in bloom and beautiful as ever.  Every year it just amazes me at how pretty it is.  I took some pictures of some flowers I planted on my deck like I do every year at this time just to lift my spirits.  Life has been quite difficult lately and I need all the beauty I can find.   I have been struggling with my religion and I do not know what to do.  I have decided to go back and attend and see how I feel.  If my feelings are the same as they have been I will look for another religion to follow.  I am Christian and am looking for more spiritual feelings out of my religion.  I grew up in the LDS church.  I have been following Christian Life religion on You Tube and the feelings I get from

I'm back

I have been absent not by choice but because of life happenings.  My sister as you know was diagnosed with stage 4 cancer.  She fought a brave battle but lost her life last Tuesday.  Her funeral was Saturday and I cannot believe how much I miss her.  I just keep thinking of all the things I should have told her.  I went down and stayed with my niece to help her when she went on hospice.  My niece is one brave gal.  She took such good care of her.  Her and her Husband took her to all her treatments until there was nothing they could do anymore.  I never want to watch another person take their last breath.  She struggled so hard the last week and I just wanted to end her suffering. We were raised by our single mom when she divorced my father who was abusive.  I called us the tree amigos.  Well I am the only one left.  Well I am going to try to do a daily blog but I may not be too on top of things for a while.  Hubby has been keeping me busy so I do not think. Blessings to you all. Carla

 Well I am feeling better today.  I will be glad when Christmas is over.  It is very cold here today.  Hubby is sick so I have been busy taking care of him.  I went to get some Covid tests but he can smell and taste so I think it is jus the flue.  Which is so funny cause we just got our flue shots a couple of weeks ago.   I am going to start quilting my quilt by hand and I hope my wrist holds out. I looked at wrist supports at the store and they want 17.00 for one.  The one I need to $29.00 so that is not going to happen.  I have one but I cannot find it.  Go figure.  I need to get some baking done but taking care of Mr. has me pretty busy.  I am hoping to keep him moving somewhat so he does not get pnemonia.  We had a great surprise the other day.  My grandson is expecting so we had a reveal party.  They are having twins!! A boy boy and a girl.  We are so excited!  She is do in June but they will probably start her the last of May.   I will get some pictures posted when I can find my

 Christmas is the time I feel the most alone.  It seems that everyone has someone and something to do but not me.  Yeah I do the usual but no one comes to visit.  Now my hubby is using my car more cause he hates his truck and that leaves me stranded.  Yesterday was a good day.  We had a baby reveal at my grandsons and they are having twins.  A boy and a girl.  We are so excited.  I spent the  morning looking for twin outfits on etsy.  So fun. I have really been down lately and I do not know what to do.  I quit going to church cause I feel like I do not measure up to what the church wants me to do.  The LDS church is just to all consuming.  My children do not go and I want to be with them.  The church makes it seem like if you do not do everything just so you will. I spend time with my hubby but lately all he thinks about is himself and his brother.  When I got married I did not realize I was marrying two Valerios.  I am just having a pity party today.  I wanted to go to the store to ge

Winter is here

We recieved more show about 2 inches and we are thankful for it!  Got Grandson's present today and it was not the color he wanted but I texted him and he said it would be fine.   Tomorrow I must get some decorating done.  If I do not get it done it will be a mad rush next week.  Went to the store to get oranges and hot chocolate for the greats.  Will need to make some bags   for them to go in.   I have been watching Christmas decor shows on You Tube,   Kim my second daughter already has her 10 ft tree up  I would love to put mine in the front window but the couch is there and I would need to get someone to help me move it.  We dont watch much TV.   I do not think I will go all out on presents this year.  It is getting too hard to get everyone something.  I would rather spend time with them, play games, and made ginger bread housesl. I did get all my floors claned today and then was a great maccomplishment, Onward tomorrow and get the christmasn decor going.

Thankful for Today

Today I am thankful for the snow in the mountains.  I pray we will have more water next summer.   I am thankful for my sister who is battling stage four cancer to still be with us and fighting like a tiger.  I am so proud of her.   Today I am thankful for my home and the warmth that it has given me. Today I am thankful for my Hubby and all he has done for me.   Today I am thankful for my wonderful children and all they do for us.  Thankyou Lord for today.
