Update On Life



Sorry I have been MIA.

Much has been happening in my life and when I have down time a.k.a. blogging time, I have been asleep! And there has not been much of that either!

I did have a great Mother's Weekend.....and yes, it is a Mother's weekend around our house, as I do an authentic Italian feast for all the Moms, Grandmothers and Aunts that are so important in our lives. That was done on Saturday evening and was wonderful.
Then our youngest treats her Momma and Mother In Law to lunch on Sunday which is always quite nice!

In the mean time, there was a benefit for my Niece, Linda, to help with the bills that have been rising for the past 8 months since her accident.
Linda is walking with a pair of crutches and getting physical therapy via water exercise. She is determined and desires to keep moving forward....she is a tough one!

AND in the mean time, mean time....my Mother has had to have yet another surgery. That was yesterday and she resides in our home once again.
This was an open abdominal surgery so our dogs, Ernie & Susie, are faithfully keeping her safe and Mom is faithfully guarding her tummy from the safety of the dogs!!

I am flying to Austin Texas in a few weeks, and am very excited to do so! My sweet hubby will not be able to go, so he is not nearly as excited as I am.

And I am going to add...I have the best children in the entire world! All of them have kept really close tabs on me the past few weeks, making sure that in the midst of all that is and has been going on that I am doing ok and taking care of myself. Calls, prayers, and visits from them have been such a blessing and I could not be a more loved Mommy than I am!
