SOMETHINGS....are just a bit fishy...

My dad

84

 getting close to 85 

fishing at Strawberry this week.

To think last year,the week before Christmas he was in a hospital bed

waiting for emergency surgery

and we were scared

knowing his chances to come out

alive were slim

a day later then giving our

final good-byes after surgery as he wasn't doing well.

(poisoned from a bad gallbladder 

through his whole body.)

Nothing less than a miracle.

prayers answered.

Thank you heavenly father.

He doesn't remember most of it.

He's had a new shed built

for his rock hobby,

and although much weaker

he continues on.

He needed to be here to help my mother who lost her 3 sisters and 2 brother in laws this year.

My mothers birthday present

(frozen fish)

from her youngest grandson(8).

She is now 81, doing well.

It's also their 60th anniversary.

My mother is very simple when it comes to living and parties.

(like... she'd rather not).

It was a family dinner at the Stockton Miners cafe...and that's all I am going to say

about that place.

Birthday Present given

from one sister to another,

this is my youngest sister.

My middle son...

has moved in for a short time

with his wife and 2 children

It happens, doesn't it!

(sold their home)

It's okay

we have room

and they balance me.

Beautiful grandson

loves grandma's green drinks,

holds his hands out

when I turn on the blender!

another

Beautiful grandson

started a new school this week

 rode the bus

for his first time.

We're loving it all

EXCEPT...

watching the steady diet of

sugar and fats...

MY SON seems to think it's a

good way to eat.

Makes me just CRAZY

Wouldn't you find it hard

when there is a huge bag of your

favorite candy bars in the

freezer?

I see an intervention coming on.

My daughter in law had an

INTERVENTION

with our clothes closet

we sent out 10 bags full,

even though I have been tossing

all year.

Had to laugh...

Carl had 2 pair of pants left

after losing his 30 lbs.

No more floor piles

I'll send her over!
