A HAPPY PINK SATURDAY

Well, well, well, I have not posted for Pink Saturday for several years.  Long story short, I lost my blog voice a few years ago and am trying to find it again.  Anyway, I have continued to follow my favorite blogs over that time, and I am happy to again join Beverly at How Sweet the Sound this weekend and show off a few pinks that tickled me, well, PINK.

I am in a fall kind of mood right now, wistfully seeing summer 2017 in the rearview...soon, it will be cold mornings and crisp afternoons, and the leaves here turning those fabulous reds and gold..ah..my favorite time of the year, for sure.  But how about some PINK for fall?  I found these lovely photos on Pinterest..not my own, unfortunately.  But I am going to throw some PINK in for my fall décor this year!

Enjoy!

I'm so happy you visited me today, would love for you to leave me a comment..

Wednesday

Happy Hump Day my friends.. Just sitting here wishing I had some ambition to get to some sewing or housework or laundry, or SOMETHING!  But I don't so I will blog for a bit.

This past weekend we traveled the two hour drive to our son's home near Sacramento.  No sooner had we walked into the house did my husband Carl take a tumble, tripped over a high threshold.  Took a bit but I finally got him back up on his feet.  Our first concern was he had injured his newly replaced (June) knee, as he had landed on it.  His wrist, elbow and shoulder also hurt.  There was no swelling so our son started giving him Tylenol and ice.  We had tickets for that evening to see the 80's band Huey Lewis and the News, but he wasn't really up to going to my daughter in love Melainie went with me. It was so warm that evening, close to 100 degrees, so the handheld fans they gave us were welcome!  As the sun dropped, it cooled off some, and it was a great show!  We will definitely go see them again!

The rest of the weekend was laid back, hanging with grandkids.  I didn't take very many pictures on this trip, and none of Jackson.  He is camera shy right now!

Our girly girl Gracie is always happy to pose!

They both start school tomorrow, Grace will be in First Grade, and Jack in Kindergarten, my how they are growing up, too fast for this Mimi and Poppy!  Can't wait to see first day pictures tomorrow.

We drove home on Sunday morning and went to our local Urgent Care as Carl's elbow was especially hurting.  He had no swelling, so I figured it was a sprain.  They took x-rays at urgent care of his knee, wrist, forearm and elbow.  The knee is fine, still perfectly aligned from the surgery, just bruised, the wrist and forearm are ok, but they said the elbow had a radial fracture.  They don't do casting type stuff at urgent care so early Monday morning we went to the ROC, Reno's urgent care for orthopedic injuries.  The Dr. there confirmed through the x-ray that the elbow was indeed fractured.. No casts for elbows, as he needs to keep moving and exercising it, just a sling.  He's doing ok but its still quite sore.  He returns to see an ortho doc in 3 weeks.

All I can say is I will be so happy to kick 2017 to the curb!  He started the new year recovering from bilateral pulmonary embolism in his lungs, plus a clot in the leg.  Then his knee replacement surgery in June, now this.  Ay yi yi.  .  The recovery from the blood clots has been slow and it took a lot out of him, his strength and mentally wearing, too.  This guy needs a break, and not a break from a  bone!  We appreciate so much everyone's prayers these past few months.

Looking forward to fall, cooler temps and beautiful colors in our area.  We love living here, and get all 4 seasons.

Thank you for stopping by and I love your comments!

A GRAND TIME!

Yeah..it's been awhile, dear Blog.  What can I say, I haven't had the inspiration to blog for the last 10 months, going to try posting once or twice a week, even if it's mundane stuff.  We all have mundane stuff, so why not!

We had Gracie and Jack here for the past 5 days, they went home last night and wow, the house seems sooo quiet.  We had a great time, we went to the Mall, out to lunch with friends, to the Movies and saw the Emoji Movie, which was enjoyed.. We spent time at our local little play park and splash pad, did a lot of bike riding and scooter riding, and both of them are quite good artists.  They also played a lot of cards, Slap Jack and Memory, and lots of coloring and ice cream eating. Not to mention watching the DVD Boss Baby a zillion times!  Fun times!

Here are a few pictures of our precious little ones, Grace is now 6 and going into First Grade, Jackson is now 5 and entering Kindergarten.  My oh my.. how time flies!

Yes they are spoiled, that's my JOB, right?!
