There is a first time for everything.....

  Well....Here I am!   I'm blogging!!!   I have to thank my daughter Sabrina for this new undertaking.  I have been reading her blog and that of my friend Kare and I figured why not??  

  I decided that I would use my blog to keep in touch with those who want to keep up with the comings and goings of us and our family.  I will be posting photo's of the family, especially those of my grandchildren here as well as telling stories and sharing events as they happen. 

  I suppose the first bit of news I could share is that my husband has recently had some surgery.  He is doing fine but as with all surgeries there is some recovery time involved.  I work for a great police dept. and my co-workers are awesome.  I have been able to take some time off to care for him while he recovers and it seems like thank you is not enough.  Since he has been told that he can't drive for 2 weeks, I have become the taxi driver as well as the head nurse.  He has several Dr's visits and trips to the lab for blood work and tests lined up so I will be busy.  So far he has been a star patient but after a couple of days of not being able to lift anything or drive himself, I am sure he will start to complain.  I can't blame him, it is hard to depend on others to do things for you when you have always been able to do them for yourself.  Once he is able to do more for himself he will be MUCH better natured.  

  Since I have to be home for the next two weeks I'm going to spend time getting some things done around the house.  I have a closet that needs to be organized in the worst way!  I'm sure I will be finding lots to do while I'm home so let the games begin!!
