I haven’t
written in awhile. I’ve been fairly ill. I have not had a good winter. I am
suffering from (amongst other things) Chronic Heart Failure. I had several
episodes over the winter where I needed seen by a doctor. I took one ambulance
ride in January and spent four days in the hospital in February.
I’m not
fully out of the woods yet, but God-willing, I’m turning the corner. My
second-oldest daughter will be graduating high school soon and hopefully
heading off to Mt. Mercy for nursing school. KinDee’s second oldest child is
now in San Diego at Marine Corps boot camp. KinDee became a grandmother in
January. Now it’s April and winter just won’t let go.
I have
a lot of garden plants sitting in the house under lights that need to start
spending time outdoors. I want to plant another peach tree this year. I’m
dreaming of garden produce coming out of the garden and onto my plate and into
my pantry. I am dreaming of spending time outdoors. I am looking forward to
firing off bottle-rockets with the kids again.
KinDee
got her fishing license and Jenna will turn 16 this July and will need one herself.
I see the two of them running off to drown a worm on a regular basis. I don’t
fish anymore, but if my health were to improve, I would enjoy drowning a worm
myself.
On days
that are too hot, or stormy, I hope to find the time to sit down, put on some
relaxing music, and just type away. I also need to catch up on genealogy work
that has been sitting here since 2012. We also have other projects that have
been stewing away for years, including making new curtains.
I know
I keep saying it, but I’ll try to write more. Think Spring!
