Baby is here! I'm A Great-Gramma now!

Baby Chayson arrived this past Tuesday in the early morning hour. Everyone is so happy and baby and Mama are just fine!
My son sent me five pictures and I need to learn how to upload them from my phone to my computer hard drive!
Note: I'm getting a new LG Optimus Q Android via Fed Ex
on Tuesday !

I am a very happy, excited and proud Great-Gramma!
Today I'm hoping to get in on the sales for baby gifts.

I also need to stop in at my CVS and pick up 4 of my prescriptions that are ready.

My life has changed so much this year, leading into an even greater New Year 2012, I hope. I have Hope always.

I called my sister in Michigan last night and she was very happy for me ! I could "hear" the smiles as we talked all these miles apart! She was getting ready to make old fashoned Grandma sugar cookies with her two grand kids who have been visiting her my brother-in-law for a week.

Wishing all a very healthy, safe and Happy New Year, 2012!

Christmas 2011

This month is going by so fast! I have had no time to blog, as I have been both sick and busy.
I have kept in touch with some of my family  and was talking with my sister a few days ago, and it was not as it usually is, all chatting and fun. It's like she was holding something back. She was.

I called Mom this morning and we had a hour and ten minutes of nice talking. One of the things she told me was, MY son has been in the hospital, last week got home and right back in again, this time bleeding.
 They live in Texas now.

I'm heavy duty praying for him and am finally calmed down to function for this afternoon. *****UPDATE! MY SON WILL BE OKAY. HE IS HOME NOW AND HAS "EROSION" I'M ASSUMING IT'S ESOPHAGUS EROSION. HE WAS COUGHING UP BLOOD. OR IT COULD BE STOMACH EROSION. MOM DID NOT SAY.*****END OF UPDATE

Well, anyway, I have decorations ( deck the halls :) all finished, Christmas cards are done and mailed, but still have some left for friends here in the city and  neighbors in my building. Christmas shopping is done and it was scarce this year, as I'm paying cash for all eight of my medicines. January will be when my new insurance kicks in though :)

It's the time of year I just love, just to sit back and relax, watching The Hallmark Channel or sometimes the Family Channel and Lifetime too, for their excellant Christmas shows.

It's especially the time of year  to count our blessings and be thankful, and just appreciate life as we know it. It's still "life." No matter how bad we think it is, it could be worse. There is a reason, yes, for everything.

It's great that some of our troops will be home this month and that awful  Iraq war is over. There are plenty of troops stationed away from their families/friends this holiday season, so if you pray, please keep them in your prayers too!

BREAKING NEWS !!! MY SON CALLED ME TONIGHT ( DECEMBER 22,2011) AND I ALSO MET MY DAUGHTER-IN-LAW. SHE IS SO SWEET JUST LIKE I THOUGHT SHE WOULD BE! MY SON SOUNDED SO GREAT. I LOVE THEM  AND MY GRAND CHILDREN ALL SO MUCH. WE ALL TALKED OVER FORTY-FIVE MINUTES !!
WHAT A SURPRISE AND A GREAT CHRISTMAS GIFT THIS WAS/IS !

Merry Christmas , Happy Holidays to all !!!!!!!
((hugs)) Sunny

Now It's Time To Decorate !

This Christmas tree is in the lobby of the apartment building I live in.


December has arrived ! Now it's time to decorate. We also need to count our blessings, no matter how small we think it is. Just waking up in the morning is a blessing!

As you can see, I have spent a short while decorating this main blog of mine to make it look Christmasy. Other things on my to do list for today are:
1. Give Miss Kitty her birthday card. She lives here on the fifth floor. Miss Kitty is 100 years old today! God bless her!

2. I need to catch the early trolley out to the beach to my preferred lab to get some blood tests done. We think my INR is too high, for reasons I will not go into.

3.A trip to the market is planned for sometime today, hopefully right after lunch, if I get back home in time.

These are  all the necessary things for today for me to do. After wards, I can take a nap.

Be safe and be well!
