Here's a few pictures of our activities. </span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;"> </span>Now these next set of pictures you are about to see, I'm not sure the parents would be very supportive of. They all decided it was a whole lot of fun to wrap up in their blankets and pillows and slide down our stairs. All but Chloe who didn't like the noise or the commotion. So Grandma Shelia came to her rescue at the bottom of the stairs and we took our pictures from there. <br />

With two full-time working parents, there wasn't much time for this holiday activity. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">But as we have become Grandparents a new tradition has started in our home: Christmas cookie baking and decorating with the grandkids. Enjoy this years highlights for dough, frosting and PLENTY of sprinkles.</span><br />

I enjoy the cool weather (top of the list), beautiful colors, energized spirit, and knowing that in just a few short days we will gather as family and friends for the holidays. </span><br />
<span style="color: orange; font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: orange;">My fall pick of plants for what few flower spots I have is the mum plant. Each year I try to plant at least one more plant, hoping that it will survive the cold of winter and the heat of summer to bring on a beautiful bush of color for our yard.</span> </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"></span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: orange;">The weekend of our garage project sent me to ACE hardware for some hooks to hang items on the walls. On my way in the store I noticed they had mum plants special priced for the weekend. I said to myself,<em> "I'll pay for 6 plants and get them on my way out." </em></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: orange; font-size: large;"></span> </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: orange; font-size: large;">Wanting to get the best plant for my money, I was looking over the display when I spotted the best plants towards the back out of the heat. As I came up from reaching for a couple of plants I smacked my head on another display rack they had against the building. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: orange; font-size: large;"></span> </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: orange; font-size: large;">Now I have to say it stunned me and I said <em>"Ouch that hurt".</em> </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: orange; font-size: large;"></span> </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: orange;"><span style="font-size: large;">I carried three plants to the car, went back for the other three plants and discovered as I bent over that my head had blood running down it. So I walked to the car at an angle to keep the blood from running down onto my clothes and grabbed a towel from the trunk to hold against the cut and drove myself to the emergency room of the hospital. </span><span style="font-size: large;">Luckily it was a superficial wound and didn't require any stitches. </span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: orange; font-size: large;"></span> </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: orange; font-size: large;"> And there you have, bargain mum plants..nope!!! The medical charges are going to far exceed the cost of the mums!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

<span style="font-size: large;">For a couple of years we have been wanting to finish out the insulation and covering of our walls in the garage. It was time to get some of that "stuff" organized off the floor and purge some of the "stuff" that isn't needed anymore.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"></span> </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Knowing we were going to need some help, we polled our kids for a time when they could come be "weekend warriors" for us and labor for this project. Labor Day weekend took the unanimous vote. </span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">With the help of my sister and her husband, plus one of my dad's work trailers, we traveled to Menard's and picked up the insulation and wall board. The crew of "kids" arrived Saturday afternoon and begin the project around mid-evening, and this is where <em><strong><u>determination</u></strong></em> comes in. </span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">See...they also brought their golf clubs and were going to work all night if that's what it took to get the project done, because they didn't want to work on LABOR day!

<span style="font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Lyle had his back operated on the 7th of August with the procedure involving bone fusion of lower lumber 4 and 5, as well as a cyst removed off of 4. He will be finishing out the year recuperating, with walking as his exercise and no "BLT" (bending, lifting, turning.)</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">His first few days were quite painful so for the 24 hours following the surgery he was on a morphine pump. 10 days prior to the surgery he had also started having some dizzy spells, with sweats and headaches. The morning after the surgery he suffered one of the attacks, startling the nurses. So he was put on oxygen, blood pressure monitor, lung scans, heart test and artery tests were performed, and blood from an artery was take for oxygen check and chemistry workup.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">All the tests came back normal except for a collapsed lung on the right side. This is common we are told with surgery, but doesn't explain why the attacks prior to the surgery. He was dismissed from the hospital 5 days after the surgery, where we will allow him to do some recuperating and then see our family physician for a bronchial scope and some more heart tests, if the spells continue</span>.<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><em>SO LET THE RECUPERATING BEGIN.</em></span> <br />

We were in the area for a family wedding the night before and decided we needed to introduce Santa Claus land to the grandkids. Lyle and I figured it has been probably 25 years since we took our kids there. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">So we all rode a ride or two, (or three or four...depending on how old you were); did a little shopping; and a little eating. Around 2:30 in the afternoon a rain shower came up and chased many of us away. Steven's family rode out the rain with her cousins that came from Denver to join in the fun. But my foot accident prior to the trip told me it was time to go take a nap. Cheryl's family was also heading part way home to Curtis, NE to stay with Chuck's sister for the evening. As my blog title says, <strong>we love to create memories</strong>!<br />

It was a nice ceremony at Palmer Lake near Monument in a mountain Chapel and Event Center. Between the 19 of us that went from Shelia's side of the family there was the sights of Seven Falls, Zoo, and North Pole to take in. Early Friday morning 4 of family went golfing and there was some time for some shopping by others.</span><br />
<span style="color: #fff2cc; font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="color: black;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: #fff2cc;">Many of us had not been out to Shelia's cousin's home in the Springs for sometime, so some Saturday night relaxation after eating at Fargo's pizza, was enjoyed in their beautiful backyard.</span> </span></span><br />

Grandma Sheliahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05357810040802707164noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6334177230901507908.post-2831684023807303452013-07-22T20:20:00.001-07:002013-07-22T20:20:23.035-07:00"¡Feliz cumpleaños!" <span style="font-size: large;">Today I celebrated another birthday. I don't regret another one came around, especially after the day full of greetings. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">After lunch today I am at Steven's house and Caden says <em>"Happy Birthday Grandma, we're taking you to supper and it's Mexican" </em> I said <em>"OK, I accept".</em> Far be it for me to argue with a "man" who has his mind made up, no matter the age:) </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">So I met them at the Mexican restaurant in Phillipsburg and Caden says <em>" Grandma we told them it's your birthday."</em> No big deal to me and we have a nice meal with conversation about their vacation they just returned from with Chalina's family. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">I said to Caden <em>"have you ever tried their chocolate chimichanga's?"</em> He said<em> "no",</em> so we ordered two. Not long after that, a sombrero was being put on my head, fried ice cream dessert was set on the table in front of me and Happy Birthday in Spanish (see the post title) was being sung to me by the staff. Complete with instrumental accompaniment from spoon and pan. </span><span style="font-size: large;">Not only was I tickled for this special treatment, but you should of seen the faces on all grandchildren while they were singing. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Caden says <em>"Grandma, how old are you?"</em> I replied <em>"54".</em> He then says <em>"How old is Papa Lyle?"</em> I said <em>"60".</em> His next reply <em>"wow he's super passing you."</em> Did I come home and tell this to Lyle? Absolutely:) Love those minds and mouths of babes!!!</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">We enjoyed all three desserts to the last spoonful and I drove home with the jolliest of hearts!</span><br />

I consider this a big accomplishment as he just finished Kindergarten and not high school!! Yes, it's quite large, but I can't help it that between his grandmother and my children, we follow all the grandkids around waiting on a picture. Then it's hard to choose what and what not to crop. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Grandpa Lyle said 'he'll have a heart attack" trying to carry it. "Funny man". For sure it will be one that you will have to put on the table to look at. He was so excited when I showed up with it as he had just told me a few weeks prior to getting it done, how he loves those books I do for them. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">I love doing them and it brings me joy that they appreciate and look forward to receiving them</span>. <br />

Or is <em>Black Friday</em> the only retail money making term you know for the holidays? To my memory <em>C in J</em> was what I grew up on as the retailers hoped the mid-summer sales would get them to fall, before <em>Black Friday </em> sales hopefully keep them in business through the winter. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Well here's my take of why I like <em>C in J..</em></span><br />
<em><span style="font-size: large;"></span></em><br />
<em><span style="font-size: large;">It's my official start of Pandora serendaing me with Christmas Music...how can you resist Jim Reeves singing "An Old Chritmas Card", Alan Jackson singing "Let it be Christmas Everywhere", Matthew West singing "Heart of Christmas" and Josh Groban singing "Believe"...</span></em><br />
<em><span style="font-size: large;"></span></em><br />
<em><span style="font-size: large;">It's the hum of my sewing machine stitching on new Christmas fabrics...</span></em><br />
<em><span style="font-size: large;"></span></em><br />
<em><span style="font-size: large;">It the scrapbooking internet sites flooded with holiday printed papers just beckoning me to push the buy button...</span></em><br />
<em><span style="font-size: large;"></span></em><br />
<em><span style="font-size: large;">It's the can't resist that for .... and the hiding places in our home being filled with purchases for those loveable grandchildren...</span></em><br />
<em><span style="font-size: large;"></span></em><br />
<em><span style="font-size: large;">It's the magazine racks filling up with holiday magazines to purchase with cooking, crafts and card making ideas for my viewing as I nod off to sleep...</span></em><br />
<em><span style="font-size: large;"></span></em><br />
<em><span style="font-size: large;">It's the premier of Hallmark ornaments to add to my collection...</span></em><br />
<em><span style="font-size: large;"></span></em><br />
<em><span style="font-size: large;">It's the hope that this 105 degree temp outside my door right now will soon turn to cool, crisp, rain filled air to quench the thirsting ground...</span></em><br />
<em><span style="font-size: large;"></span></em><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Have you guessed yet that I like Christmas. Just wait till it really gets close, I'm double excited by that time!</span><br />
<em><span style="font-size: large;"></span></em><br />
<em> </em>Grandma Sheliahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05357810040802707164noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6334177230901507908.post-60061576781033237472013-07-06T18:06:00.003-07:002013-07-08T17:47:42.814-07:00Corners of my World<span style="font-size: large;"><strong>Decorate Life: Scrapbook--</strong>and I do! Scrapbooking as been some part of my life for a very long time. My very first scrapbook came from my mother who pasted every card and who wrote every gift given to me my first year of life. It was assembled in one of those yellow page 15" x 15" tie bound books that are very fragile today. Remember those? I'm not so sure it doesn't have a few more years of posting in it, but I have 3 sisters and we all came 1 1/2 to 2 years after each other so you can see mom probably lost track of time while we was growing up. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">When our daughter was diagnosed with a life altering disease 14 years ago, this new age of scrapbooking caught my eye. That desire to use those fancy papers, stickers and scissors drew my artsy side out and became my therapy of dealing with the tough years that were to follow for her care. We had also just started life in Nebraska so it was fun taking pictures and recording what was ahead for our family as Steven was starting college at Kearney and Cheryl was starting her second year of college in Omaha. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">As a child growing up I was blessed to have many grandparents and great-grandparents (and my parents of course) to raise me. About half of them were associated with farming and the other half the "public" satisfying work field. We come from a line of great cooks and seamstresses. Remembering this heritage is also what draws me to scrapbooking. You don't get a chance to go back and live those special times over, so do it right the first time and record them in your heart.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Lyle laughs at me (in a good way) because he finds me constantly journaling something about a memory or an event I don't want to forget. Hence the mess you will find in my "fun room" most of the time.. those little notes needing attention. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">My desire to stay busy and give what I can comes from my parents. Growing up in small town America, by dad was busy 12-14 hours a day helping my grandparents run their car dealership and bodyshop; and my mom worked taking care of her daughters and part-time caring for elderly neighbors and friends and working at the local café. At the time you are growing up you thought how unfair it was you had those daily home chores to do for mom and dad as well as help grandma clean her big two story house; but now you are grown up you appreciate the fact you know how to do it; and you appreciate how hard it was to acquire something you wanted out of life.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Now I am blessed by my own children and grandchildren, and a wonderful supporting husband, who let's me indulge in my hobbies, as we continue to build on that heritage. </span><br />

I decided that by doing a blog it would be my way of sharing with friends and family what's happening in Lyle's and my life that I don't have time right now to scrapbook. With six grandchildren, full-time job and the home to help run, there doesn't seem to be enough time for "me scrapbooking". And then there's that other hobby of quilting that somehow get's in the way also. What can I say, I like to be busy.<br />
<br />
Don't expect great things to happen from me or many posts, but expect something once in a while.<br />
