I'm back!

I know I haven't written since a couple of years ago but have been real busy. I turned the big F. 50 years old Nov. of 2016. My niece Jessica and sisters threw me a big Day of the Dead party. It was very fun with all the DOD decorations.

They even got me a street taco cart for my friends to enjoy. My husband treated me to a trip to New York for my 50th and our 30th Anniversary. Our friends Joyce and Randy joined us.

Joyce was celebrating her 65th birthday. We had a great time and want to go back again in spring.  I worked at Kirklands home store until we got back on our feet after my husbands surgery. I love that store but with all the lifting and standing it was killing my bad back. I am a housewife once again. But don't think for one minute I sit on the couch eating Bon Bons. I have been taking care of my Dad which had a stroke shortly after my husbands heart surgery. So I have been doing Dr. appointments with him, managing his meds. and bills. My husband had another surgery on his shoulder and was out of work for that one 6 months. I have been watching my granddaughter alot these days and that's always fun. I love taking photos of her in all the cute outfits and costumes she wears. We like to go to Starbucks together and play board games. My daughter-in-law graduated from GCU with a degree in Music.

My son graduated from Massage therapy school also and doing it as a side job. working out of town on a gold rigg. My daughter-in-law is now a Music teacher for the elementary school that Erin attends. Yes she started Kindergarten this year! Time flew!

My other son Sam is working at a gun making shop and now Coaching Dive for a nearby high school.

I would love to go back to work in an office but can't find work yet. I still sell Avon which I have for 27 years! I have my etsy shop and that does great in winter but not too much in the summertime since it is mostly winter accessories. I started scrapbooking my granddaughters photos and I still make cards. We got the boat running again and that has been fun taking it out on the lake.

 So that's about covers the past 2 years. I hope to keep up the blog now that I have some      extra time these days. Ciao for now!
