I Think I Can, I Think I Can!!

Engineer Ken is here to say "I've boarded the Little Train

that Could and I am on the rail to recovery!"

He is doing much better each day--the knee is still a

little stiff and he still wears a brace at night. But he is able

to get in and out of a car better and the stairs are not as

difficult.

Thanks to everyone for your well wishes--Ken says:

"THANK YOU!"

Thank You!!!!

Today's thoughts are all about THANK YOU'S!

Catherine-le-monde-de-Catherine gave

me these two awards! She is a wonderful lady

and I have enjoyed getting to know her. It's

pretty cool to be able to say that I have a

friend in France! Thanks Catherine!!!!

Part of receiving these awards- I must tell you

7 things about me that you don't know. So

here goes:

1--I love to read.

2--I am an only child but have 1 sister and 3

brother-in-laws.

3--I am NOT a morning person.

4--The colors I'm liking right now are RED

and lime green.

5--When this horrid school year is over I

will be celebrating 10 years in the district.

6--My least favorite housekeeping chore

is DUSTING. It makes me sneeze.

7--I have flown in a hot air balloon in

New Mexico and we took a helicopter

tour in Tennessee. Both were AMAZING!

Look what came in the mail the

other day!

These delightful goodies came from Mimi-

Dandelion Wishes. I won a giveaway

on her blog! Thank You Mimi!!!!!

She sent me:

1--A garland that spells "LOVE."

2--A yummy looking candy bar that was

made in her area. It is one of her favorites.

3--A handmade Valentine card that I

can send to someone special.

4--A Valentine tag to use on a nice

little gift.

I can't wait to hang my garland and try the

candy bar!

Thanks again Catherine and Mimi--both of

you are WONDERFUL!

Our Morning Trip

For the last couple of days Mr. Ken has had a very sore knee, to the point of needing assistance to walk and get in and out of the car. He hasn't been able to drive either. I stayed home with him Tuesday. This morning the knee wasn't any better sooo I made the executive decision that a trip to the ER was needed. So I called school to let them know what was going on and then we were off to the hospital. Yes folks that is a beautiful hospital issued bracelet on Mr. Ken's arm.

And here he is--- Mr. Ken modeling his new leg brace. It keeps his knee straight and adds support to the whole leg. We came home with crutches, medication and a recommend- ation for a visit to an Orthopedist. Diagnosis- sprained knee--cause unknown?? One of those mysteries of life. Currently being well taken care of by his lovely nurse/wife. Spoiled with a capital S! :) He should make a full recovery. ~Keep on Dreaming~

Happy Birthday!

Bubble Wrap turns 50 this month!

My favorite thing to do with bubble wrap

is to pop it! I love it when it comes with

something I ordered. I find it relaxing

and fun to pop, pop, pop.

There are many websites on bubble

wrap and some have virtual bubble

wrap to pop. Which is fun too.

Next time you need to relax pick

some up and pop away!

I've also used it for art projects at

school:

****Rubbings

****Paint the wrap and place on a sheet

of paper. Turn it into wrapping paper

for Valentine's Day gifts.

What do you use this fun stuff for?
