I'mmmm Back!

Haven't posted for awhile for lots of reasons but decided I needed to go ahead and do it today while I have a few minutes.


It was nice weather for a couple of days, sunny, fairly warm and the icicles fell off or melted so I could see out my north windows again. And then it has decided to blow like a hurricane every afternoon!! We had snow again today too, but not enough to stick.


I keep telling myself that spring will come, but I don't really believe it anymore.


Gary has been sick with the upper resp. flu stuff that is going around so bad here. He refused to go to the doctor, just used his nebulizer and slept alot for the last week. He had me pretty scared when his fever was high for a couple of days and he is still coughing like crazy, but he is still alive! Now Jinger and all 3 boys are sick too....yes, even the baby!!


My grandson wanted me to paint a dragon scene on his bedroom wall so I've been working on that for a couple of days. One to sketch it out on the wall in pencil and then today I painted it. He wanted some metallic paint so parts are kind of shiny, but he likes it. I still need to do the mountain background, etc., but I'll finish it up next week.


Then on the way home I saw these swans in the river and had to take a picture of them..so peaceful and graceful looking.




Now I'm going to go sit with my feet up and then fix dinner and watch CSI.

I hope Dad is feel alright, I'm SO sick of the sickies! The dragon turned out awesome! I'm sure Mason will love it. Don't worry spring will come...just not soon enough. I wonder if Mrs. Winter knows how painful it is to have 3 sick boys...? I doubt it.

Hey Grammy! i love your new springy back ground! That dragon is awesome. You are so cool to paint things on the walls for us!!! Have you read the book "The Last Lecture?" There is a section in it when the author brags about how his cool parents let him paint on the walls of his bedroom. He painted chess pieces, and math equations, and submarines, and all kinds of fun stuff. I immediatly thought of you. do you have pictures of the other rooms that you have painted? Could you send me any pictures you have? i want to show them to my book club who is reading that book.

WOW! You are so very talented gal.
Not that I never realized it before LOL. Such a talented Grams! The dragon is absolutely awesome,Linda.
I love it, and can only imagine how Mason feels.....

Hope my Bub is feeling better now. I know there's not much to be done, for that upper chest crud, if it's viral.....hope you have still lucked out, and haven't gotten it. Doesn't sound like "the little brothers" were so lucky. My heart goes out to the mommy, Jinger. Wish I was able to help out! I would, you know!
