Hi All,

I finished my last class on diabetes. The worst one. All about feet and what can happen.

Bill and I went to Les Swab to have the breaks checked on the truck. Needless to say we have and saturday morning appointment to have the breaks replaced. Then we took it over to Wal-Mart to get an oil change, and then we came home and I made a payment on it. They break before they are even paid off. Oh well, you can't take it with you, but we would like to leave some to Patty.

Maureen, I hope Mac and his surgery went ok. Waiting to hear on your blog.

My reading was 115 this morning. Patty is going with me tomorrow to walk the mall.

I fed Whistle his bottle this evening but..............when I called him...he came running, took the three steps with one bound, knocked the bottle out of my hand, it went rolling down the stairs, spilt out of the bottle, I almost fell myself, all the while it is raining. I was ready for bed but now I have little hoof prints with shit in them on my pj's. So....................I think I will take a bath, no, make that a bubble bath.

I hope you day was better..................................

Hi All,

I did my walk around the outside of the mall and then had a wonderful lunch with Maureen. We had alot of fun catching up on all the news from each other. It was nice to see her again.

I just gave Whistler his bottle. Hes new trick is to try and jump up on me. It is cute now but in a few months he will knock me over.

After lunch I worked down in the green house for awhile. I am going to plant my tomatoes and pumpkin seeds in the next few days or maybe I'll wait for the weekend.

We are having a couple of boys from the church coming over Thursday to clean out the front barn.

My reading was 110 this morning. Good but no cigar..........

Hi All,

Bill wasn't feeling good this morning so we didn't get to church. Later in the day I did drag him to Wal-Mart. for a few things. Then we stopped at Costco for fruit. Then to the other Wal-Mart in Poulsbo to see if Marys 'Vampire' movie was there, sorry Mary, it wasn't. Bill stayed in the car everywhere we went so 'I'm' tired now.

Whistle didn't want his afternoon bottle today. He is eating grain and alfalfa now too. One of my rabbits is due to have babies tomorrow.

My reading was 104 this morning. Very good if I do say so myself.

Hi all,

Bill and I went to Sams baseball game this afternoon. The weather was perfect for it. I got rid of three of my goats also today. I just want to raise pigmys. I have started cleaning up the back longarm room. Do alittle work, rest alittle, you know how it is. I also cut out a cowboy hat for the center of Chayses quilt. I was going to do pink but Shannon said her favorite color is green and she didn't like pink at all. Boy that was close................I almost did it in pink..

My reading were 120 this morning. Too high. Monday I will walk the mall again. I enjoy walking. I do it three times a week. I listen to tunes and just swing those fat hips of mine.

If you want Maureen, you can come and walk with me and then we will have lunch. No pressure......

Hi All,

I had a great time at Sharons today. I enjoy Fridays too, Cindy. I like getting together with my family and Beberly. I did go home and go to bed. Now I'm up and it is almost 10pm. It is going to be a long night. Maybe I will work on a cowboy hat for the center of Chayses quilt.

I am going to try and put my quilt on my longarm just to see if it fits. Hope so. I have so many quilt tops to quilt on my machine.

Whistle was waiting for me when I got home. He wanted his bottle.

My reading was 120 this morning. I walked the mall again. I like it.

Hi All,

Bill and I went to Sams first baseball game. Chayse was there too. Chayse sat with us and Bill took a bunch of pictures. Can't beleive that she will be 12 years old next month. She wants coveralls for her birthday.

I am still working on the bug quilt. I have 11 squares done with dark green around them. I will do the 12th when Dolores is here. We do our squares together.

My reading was 112 this morning. Too high for me. I didn't walk today, I will tomorrow after church. Bill said he would go with me to the mall and sit and have coffee.

Hi All,

Had a great day today. Sharon, I sent Maureen my blog address. Your instructions were perfect. Cindy, I went to Pacific Fabric and got some more material. I do like it better. I started cutting it out but I'm tired so I am going to head for bed. Maybe by exercising my sleeping will get better.

Bill is already in bed. He says he feels punk. We are going to Sams baseball game tomorrow morning. This should be fun. We love going to the kids games.

Whistle is doing great. He loves his bottle.

My reading was 112 this morning. It is coming down.

Hi All,

I walked around the outside of the mall this morning then off to get my mamogram done. Alway fun. Bill is doing alot of walking without his boot on and now he is saying his foot hurts. I went over to Sharons and Moms too this morning and Dean said they were gone somewhere. I should have called first I guess.

Whisler is still great. I just finished giving him his bottle. He is so funny to watch. Man, I got to get some pics of him for you guys.

My reading this morning was 112. Not too bad but still high. Your right Mary. I do like to hear about your hunnys readings. See you all tomorrow.

Whisler is doing great. I call him and he comes running up to the steps for his bottle.

He will live with my other pigmy goats. Will take pics later. I finished another horse head block for Chayses western quilt. I am going to make horse shoe blocks next.

My reading was 113 this morning.

Hi All, I will be taking Bill to Harborview tomorrow so don't know if I will make it back to go to our meeting at Cindys. If not, see you Saturday.

Lindas Life

Hi All,

Bill and I went down to the sewing place to talk about tables and it looks like I am going to get a Horn table. It will take another couple of days to decide.
Bill is going back to Harborview tomorrow to have his cast redone. He got his cast wet.


My reading is 111 this evening. I need to excerise.

Hi All,

Spent the day with Dolores. We do a little shopping, go out to lunch and then back home to craft.
Bill and I are looking into buying a sewing table but they have gone up so much, so we are going to sleep on it and decide tomorrow which one to buy.

My readings were 124. Too, too high for me.

Hi All,

Didn't do much today but I did go to my Diabete class. They make diabete scary. I guess you can't fool around with it. One man there, lost his toes from diabetes. Another went into a coma. All of them sound worse than me. I guess you could call me lucky. I sure don't feel it tho. This morning my reading was 111. Still needs to go down.

I haven't heard from Gayle so don't know how her daughters are doing. I hope and pray they are better. I kind of think that Gayle flew to Florida to see Wendy. I usually hear from her before now.

Lindas lazy day

Hi All,

Didn't do much today. Bill and I went to Wal-Mart. Bill felt housebound and needed to get out for awhile. We bought Subway sandwiches and came home. It was so nice out but just vegged in the house the rest of the day.

with the fruit of my loins. (I should proof read before I hit post)
Hi All,

I had so much fun today with Patty. We went shopping. Need I say more. Patty and I are getting a baby pigmy ram Sunday. Patty is going to bottle feed it.

Bill is not feeling good and said monday he is going to call his doctor at Harborview. He says his foot doesn't feel too good either. He sounds like he has the flu to me, but he wants to see his doctor, so I guess I will be doing the Seattle hills once again.

I didn't take my readings this AM. Just having too much fun the fruit of my loins. Tomorrow for sure.
Hi All,

It is 1:31am and I am wide awake. Hungry too. My readings are going to be terrible tomorrow or should I say this morning..............Later.me

Thursday, April 3, 2008

Hi All,

Well, it is my for real birthday today. Everyone BUT Sharon and Mom wished me a happy birthday. My wonderful daughter and her husband got us lunch, french dip sandwiches and any angel food cake with strawberries and cool whip. They gave me a live plant and bong too. The bong is for the dog. You would have to be there. Shannon came over too and wished me a happy birthday. She brought over a plant too. I have been just resting the day away. I did go and take a little walk down to Pattys. That was my exercise for the day.

I finished Gayles purse this pm. Now I am going to start work on Chayses cowboy quilt. She is taking horse back riding lessons.

My readings this morning were 116. A little high.

Wednesday, April 2, 2008

Hi All,

Bill and I are back from Harborview. Bill had developed a sore on his heel so he has to go back in two weeks to see how it is coming along. I still got lost in Seattle today. I hate driving there and I forgot to take my diabetic book to read. By the way, my reading this morning was 109. Pretty good. I didn't have any carbs last night, I'm sure that's that did it for me.

Patty said she got me a cake for tomorrow. We all know what tomorrow really is don't we. I am sure it is an angel food cake with strawberries and cool whip. That's what I told her I wanted. My sugar headaches have quit. I do miss the sweets tho..............................I guess I'm on another higher level this time with sweets.

I was going to go to bed early but our Bug guy called and then came over and sprayed our house for spiders and ants. Rebated our rat traps too. We have rats in the garage and barn. Or at least we used too. Ha, ha.

Tuesday, April 1, 2008

Hi All,

Patty and I went shopping today. That is always fun. Came home and worked on Gayles Wave purse I am making her for her birthday. I'm down to the straps and then I'm done. I finished my first Quilting Basket and got everything ready for our next one. I am waiting for our meeting before I start it, Cindy. I got all my laundry done and I'm tired. I am going to lay down and rest. Bill and I go to Harborview hospital tomorrow morning.
My diabetes reading this morning was 129. Too high. I know you all liked hearing about Jims. I know I did. So I thought you would all like to hear about mine..............smile
Hi All, Just mastered this blog, I think. So this evening I should have something clever to say.
testing, testing
