Combo breakfast and lunch. Afterward we took a drive to Metro Beach and sat by the river in the marina area. The sun was bright and warm, and most of us got a little sunburnt after such a long winters rest!

The doc says its about the same about 60+ %. He sent me to a heart doctor to verify that my heart does not have any problems and can withstand the surgery. She sent me to get a Stress test that showed that there may be some problem with my heart. This Thursday I go in for a heart catheterization to verify, and put a stint in any part that is getting blocked. </div><br /><div></div><br /><div>They say that if I do get a stint, I will have to stay overnight, otherwise I get to go home the same day. I get to go through this again maybe next month, because the vascular doc says that he can do the same thing to open my right corotid instead of cutting my neck again. (At least Im praying he can. My right neck was cut real bad already a couple years ago for the Perotid surgery i had. The skin is already tight there. Well, I pray that it all goes well for me.</div>gammamomahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12995472696807781835noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8407597.post-39103054016251272352011-02-17T15:54:00.003-05:002011-02-17T18:53:57.878-05:00Had a triple biopsy on Wednesday.I saw my family doctor last week and he noticed a note in my Cat Scan results that said that I had some type of growth going on in my throat at the base of my tongue. He sent me to an ear, eye and throat doctor to have it checked.<br />Last Wendsday he scheduled me for a triple biopsy of my throat, lungs and esophogus just to be on the safe side. He did a little scope in the office to see into my throat and just noticed some swelling of my throat near the base of my tongue, but could not see much else.<br />Let me tell you, when I woke from the anastesia my arms and the back of my calves hurt like charlie horses, and I was stiff and sore! I remained sore and the pain remained in my lower back , my hips and legs, and my arms hurt to raise them. It was great pain like I had been dropped from the table onto the floor or something. The doctor called me on Saturday and he said the pain was from the anastesia! Let me tell you, that I have had LOTS of surgery before and never had such pain from anastesia like this time. My family doctor recomended Advil for the pain, and by Sunday evening I was feeling much better, but still a little sore.<br /><br />Today I went back to the ENT doctor for the results of the biopsies. Praise the LORD! The results were NORMAL! No sign of any cancers! Let me tell you, I was praying a lot since the operation while thinking of my Daddy, who died about 7 years ago from Mouth cancer. He had a growth under his tongue which was removed along with part of his tongue, a small part of his lower jaw and had lymph nodes removed from under his chin in his throat. The poor man had to liquify all his food, and drink energy drinks while he went through kemotherapy for almost a year, before the cancer returned in his lymph system again that finally killled him a year later. That picture was in mine and my husband's thoughts as we waited for the results of my tests.<br /><br />I thank the LORD that I have been spared one more time! Now my next thing I have to work on is quitting smoking! Thats gonna be the hard part, because my Husband still loves his smokes, and doesnt want to quit. LORD give me the strength!gammamomahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12995472696807781835noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8407597.post-51514432732173185442010-12-30T11:05:00.016-05:002010-12-30T12:14:39.959-05:00A little bit of our Christmas Eve<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjlMFSkXwmKBEOxfmNPV4WGwk_QYunAn9IzuvjM5iOAuKhmMqjXgEoMnRAax8yJu8tqO8dGqKqoUzSSUYu62FBI1mZeX9_TDA5Q0brjCSdRPcJSLvRYRILyVUhVfcJQkZrwBfiM/s1600/72024_1509628945293_1371434953_1142251_7134993_n.jpg"><img style="MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px;

I saw the vascular surgeon today, and he doesnt think my corotids are quite as clogged as the hospital thought. He says its about 60% or a little higher, but they dont feel surgery is necessary yet. He wants to talk to the Doc who did my Cat scan once more, but he dont feel I need surgery yet. 70% or more they would do it right away, but he has scheduled me for 6 months from now. He also will discuss with my family doctor to folllow up with a cardiac doctor to check if the clots might be somewhere in my heart area. I got back in mid May for another ultrasound of my corotids again.

My vision is back in my left eye and on October 20th I went for the CAT scan with dyes to have my corotid arteries checked and see how much blockage is really in there. I go to the surgeon on November 9th to see the results. Ill report his findings soon.<br /><br />The hardest thing is staying away from smoking any more. My husband smokes like a train and I enjoy my smokes. I know they told me to quit, but it is SO HARD! My hubby tried to smoke outside, but that only lasted 2 days! It got cold outside! I have tried to reduce my smoking, and spread out the cigarettes about an hour apart. There is NO magic pill to help me. (I wish there were) I want to be around for a long time Any sugestions to help with the cravings?gammamomahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12995472696807781835noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8407597.post-10114309760652119442010-09-25T23:23:00.003-04:002010-09-26T00:01:00.235-04:00I had another stroke this week!This Tuesday, September the 21st, at 11 a.m,,I went blind for a day. Turns out that I had another stroke in my left eye, and blood was being cut off in it! I was up and getting dressed and had just sat down before going over my Wendy's house to help her take her son to the dentist. He had a tooth that would not break through since the baby tooth was holding tight in the place it needed to be. I sat down to wait for the time to leave when suddenly I could not see anything but a white veil over the whole vision field! I have lost a lot of vision from my right eye over the last year and a half from a previous stroke that bled into that eye last March. The eye specialist has been treating me with Laser to treat that. He stopped the bleeding, but I was left with a cloud or haze over the eye, from the damage to the retina. I can see shapes, and colors of the surrounding areas, but no detail! I cant read a sign or make out a clock or words on the Television. <br /><br /> This stroke that happened Tuesday had BOTH eyes in the same cloud!!! I couldnt even read the phone to call the doctor! I had my hubby help me call the doctor's office and they told me to come right in by 1 pm. Hubby had to drive me! The doctor dialated my eyes and had a scan of the inside, then they put a dye in the IV and tried to see how fast the dye reached my eyes! It didnt show any blood coming into my left eye at all after 2 minutes! <br /> <br />The doctor then had his girls prep me for a proceedure that he put a needle into my eye and sucked out some of the internal matter. This procedure allowed the pressure to let blood come back into my eye, he patched my eye and sent me directly to the hospital to have the rest of my head checked for further signs of more stroke going on in my head! He was concerned that I could have a major stroke! <br /><br /> I spent 4 days in St. Johns Oakland hospital and they have done MRI's and Cat scans and doplers of my head and Arteries . One surgeon thought that I might have an infection of the arteries in my neck and wanted to do a biopsy of one near my temple. If I did have that, I would be put on steroids for a year to help clear that! steroids can really mess with your head! thank GOD I didnt have that! BUT....... while they were cutting out a piece of the vein and stitching me up, I woke up while they were working on me!!!!!!!! I told them I could feel them up, and ouch! that hurt! there from under the surgical drape they had over my face!!!!! They were flabergasted that I had woke up!! They hurried and finished me and got me back to my room!<br /><br />They told me on Friday that my kidney are too weak to do a test in the MRI with dyes to enhance my arteries, but the original MRI shows that my right corotid is blocked more than 80% and i will have to have the test again and then arrange for the surgery soon to clear it!!!<br /><br /> That still dont explain how I got the blockage to the left eye though! I had the same kind of blockage in my right corotid soon after my original stroke back 6 years ago ! It was more than 90% blolcked!! I have to follow up and find out soon! At least the shot in my left eye save my eyesight in that eye for the time being!!! I got it all back the next day after the procedure he did for me, he save my life! <br /> Ill keep ya posted on future events as they happen!gammamomahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12995472696807781835noreply@blogger.com5tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8407597.post-34672464371130588942010-09-06T09:31:00.002-04:002010-09-06T09:36:45.229-04:00My digital camera died!Its been about 6-7 years, but my trusty digital camera died ! Ive got a lot of pictures out of it over the years, but it finally give up the ghost when the pictures it took were all black. Guess the lens doesnt open to take the pic. It took a few weeks to finally find one that I could afford, and it turned out an Olympus Stylus. I havent taken many pictures yet, but Cider mills are now opening, and I hope it lives up to the hype. We'll see....gammamomahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12995472696807781835noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8407597.post-74838973944714900422010-08-18T09:50:00.010-04:002010-08-18T10:38:36.703-04:00Family Reunion PicnicOn the 14th of August, my niece Tammy, who had took over organizing our Bagnasco family reunion at Stoney Creek park. We had at least 60 adults and kids show up, and thats just a small sample of ALL the family my husband has... Many couldnt make it. We had a pretty good (cloudy) day but it was great to see all that came again. My hubby has 6 sisters, and only 3 were able to come to this one. My thanks to my niece Tammy for taking over arranging the picnic again. We just couldnt handle it anymore. She even made a booklet with all the family tree diagramed in it, with pictures of many of the family.<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjsSRaFkTzq4LwLur6HdXHXXuHE2RFycIwujuu1NApqZY58SDxA9Wl8RjmQlvq4xb6qinhBLwAZp87sKb66XUWnoiJyxSfhSYrcTiFyNK-TuXqur4pJGWK9hmbAIYyI1SNcd9sH/s1600/40324_1362899077138_1371434953_848220_6928764_n.jpg"><img style="MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 320px; FLOAT: left; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5506748895438929842" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjsSRaFkTzq4LwLur6HdXHXXuHE2RFycIwujuu1NApqZY58SDxA9Wl8RjmQlvq4xb6qinhBLwAZp87sKb66XUWnoiJyxSfhSYrcTiFyNK-TuXqur4pJGWK9hmbAIYyI1SNcd9sH/s320/40324_1362899077138_1371434953_848220_6928764_n.jpg" /></a><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br />< my niece Margaret<br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjmeykLK7WmaORXZ5C0G4wMvJazaD0oGsAF6siNGlOhRWj5ixzGvdiGIxZaz0LS-s4t7xSytOmBL1bI3d_Y2j31Yc4hcm4WvTTrdc-yAqHi9ghgqLrgPwYZ0O3WonTphgNqDDJQ/s1600/41274_1362897877108_1371434953_848206_1014752_n.jpg"><img style="MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px; WIDTH: 320px; FLOAT: right; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5506748507195215650" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjmeykLK7WmaORXZ5C0G4wMvJazaD0oGsAF6siNGlOhRWj5ixzGvdiGIxZaz0LS-s4t7xSytOmBL1bI3d_Y2j31Yc4hcm4WvTTrdc-yAqHi9ghgqLrgPwYZ0O3WonTphgNqDDJQ/s320/41274_1362897877108_1371434953_848206_1014752_n.jpg" /></a><br />My hubby, Barlow with Bunny---<br /><br /><br /><br /><div><br /><br /> </div><div> </div><div> </div><div> </div><div> </div><div> </div><div> </div><div></div><div></div><div></div><div><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgNJjHdFDQU7QWET2IQ0YvyRv8LNQDXHZe_OaQ9GAeVFnAfl-nMmewQBfYwyj7BMYTW5jcwhbaxssNJFYiBIViK-kaeij6ZYTh5BjDCq9Q7HpbNjxYnwV2MSfz0YMZCr04PkkHi/s1600/37968_140631449309879_100000890756473_189731_5282708_n.jpg"><img style="MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px; WIDTH: 320px; FLOAT: right; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5506747525246556210" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgNJjHdFDQU7QWET2IQ0YvyRv8LNQDXHZe_OaQ9GAeVFnAfl-nMmewQBfYwyj7BMYTW5jcwhbaxssNJFYiBIViK-kaeij6ZYTh5BjDCq9Q7HpbNjxYnwV2MSfz0YMZCr04PkkHi/s320/37968_140631449309879_100000890756473_189731_5282708_n.jpg" /></a></div></div><div><div><div><br /><br /><br />My Caroline ----------></div><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgNJjHdFDQU7QWET2IQ0YvyRv8LNQDXHZe_OaQ9GAeVFnAfl-nMmewQBfYwyj7BMYTW5jcwhbaxssNJFYiBIViK-kaeij6ZYTh5BjDCq9Q7HpbNjxYnwV2MSfz0YMZCr04PkkHi/s1600/37968_140631449309879_100000890756473_189731_5282708_n.jpg"></a> </div><div></div><div></div><div></div><div></div><div></div><div></div><div></div><div> </div><div> </div><div> </div><div> </div><div> </div><div> </div><div> </div><div> </div><div> </div><div> </div><div>My hubby, Barlow with 3 of his 6 sisters.---</div><div></div><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgJtu2cUDm0WzwrBYjSqn0tHcXKUmxtxlk6MGCrggnNo8qqlzLmu_9CMr25G6oOhYdTm1zVmjVLQ9lcgUnKP9V9U58qnwRWvznLIjl5nOsIumnZHFn-lEvvEv2PCqmX6nq32GeO/s1600/37986_1362899597151_1371434953_848228_6410292_n.jpg"><img style="MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 320px; FLOAT: left; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5506747165718406402" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgJtu2cUDm0WzwrBYjSqn0tHcXKUmxtxlk6MGCrggnNo8qqlzLmu_9CMr25G6oOhYdTm1zVmjVLQ9lcgUnKP9V9U58qnwRWvznLIjl5nOsIumnZHFn-lEvvEv2PCqmX6nq32GeO/s320/37986_1362899597151_1371434953_848228_6410292_n.jpg" /></a><br /></div><div> </div><div> </div><div> </div><div> </div><div> </div><div> </div><div> </div><div> </div><div> </div><div> </div><div> </div><div> </div></div></div><br /><br /><br /><p></p><p></p><p></p><p></p><p><iframe allowfullscreen='allowfullscreen' webkitallowfullscreen='webkitallowfullscreen' mozallowfullscreen='mozallowfullscreen' width='320' height='266' src='https://www.blogger.com/video.g?token=AD6v5dzWAL39PFEImTEO7yCFZ_-ncNhBHEnaeOUdMi4Uh8DIDJTjgtGmO-LNJxV0FXZsYIDNO6umYYwh7so' class='b-hbp-video b-uploaded' frameborder='0'></iframe></p><p>When we first got there....

The laminate was swelling and buckling up at the ends. We thought it was a leak from under the sink, but my contractor while looking for it, found out it was a leaking DRAIN pipe that led from my kitchen sink to behind the wall into a main drain, within the wall behind the cabinets. It was flowing down the wall and onto the sub floor under the cabinets and out behind my stove onto the kitchen floor. Let me tell you, I was SO glad that it wasnt a leaky water pipe! Everything I ran into my sink and down the dran was getting into my lower cabinets and out onto the floor!</div><br /><div></div><br /><div></div><br /><div>They had to take out the cabinets and all the old subfloor, and replace all the cabinets from the sink left to the stove, then apply a Mildewcide to the other plywood to kill the mold. Now, the house insurance paid for all but the plumbing work, and paid for the new cabinets, and MORE so that I had enough left to finally get my backsplash done in ceramic tile also. With a suggestion from my contractor we decided to do the wet part of the kitchen, around the stove, refridgerator and sink with ceramic tile also, so it can be just mopped up. I think it was a great IDEA! My kitchen looks so much more modern and up to date now! He did the counter tops 2 summers ago for me and they look so nice against the new cabinets and floor!</div><br /><div></div><br /><div></div><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiSTgoyj-p403XdB5aWGzqiphwmgrd4VBRm-D1NwBltoXUqK9eubxNEhp_bfSP6XLgZmEEya5mQO67TomINpKvIuZDEB4UgtuARgeqUhmhFRiKJiFgNuOze3ErRfEi83w3fDHcT/s1600/100_1161.jpg"><img style="MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 400px; FLOAT: left; HEIGHT: 267px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5475581428934727410" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiSTgoyj-p403XdB5aWGzqiphwmgrd4VBRm-D1NwBltoXUqK9eubxNEhp_bfSP6XLgZmEEya5mQO67TomINpKvIuZDEB4UgtuARgeqUhmhFRiKJiFgNuOze3ErRfEi83w3fDHcT/s400/100_1161.jpg" /></a></div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhVg35EIgbSRfKOyy9_Gc8kF1RYHQTBc7FTwVXQp3q7VbqX_vvYnF_oMjfy5lsm_tua-1fnIolObBRVhM0M6wUeAGURHS_jzqmMTFrfQZuTz_XgShYux1wThDHhhu-wV2TimfgV/s1600/100_1150.jpg"><img style="MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 400px; FLOAT: left; HEIGHT: 267px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5475586435995618258" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhVg35EIgbSRfKOyy9_Gc8kF1RYHQTBc7FTwVXQp3q7VbqX_vvYnF_oMjfy5lsm_tua-1fnIolObBRVhM0M6wUeAGURHS_jzqmMTFrfQZuTz_XgShYux1wThDHhhu-wV2TimfgV/s400/100_1150.jpg" /></a><br /><div></div><br /><div></div><br /><div></div><br /><div></div><br /><div>Here is the new lower cabinets from the sink left to the stove.

Nice day, but cool breeze. I snapped only a couple pics, but Amber took hundreds of them. Amber even talked me into getting her a stuffed tiger baby. We loved seeing the polar bears swimming in the tunnel, and trying to get at the seals, in the sealed off portion of the tank. Amber took pics of every frog, snake and animal we saw just about. She posed with a lot of the neet animal statues they have about too. Such a nice day, and a close to Caroline's last days of her vacation.</div><div> </div><div> </div><div> </div><div> </div><div> </div><div> </div><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj4vBf9NDjGfz__0g_13QaaS5yDFmeddnnJwyQLujd_Z8_tGarYt0NZ-s3qIENOjTClJvl-Y2HD6XXAHuJvq1Kvs815NzOK0wuHm9wUGXK0Ha5WgugpH4_0ZdwPWdlrTukcClwj/s1600/100_4846.jpg"><img style="MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 200px; FLOAT: left; HEIGHT: 150px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5458914172749030338" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj4vBf9NDjGfz__0g_13QaaS5yDFmeddnnJwyQLujd_Z8_tGarYt0NZ-s3qIENOjTClJvl-Y2HD6XXAHuJvq1Kvs815NzOK0wuHm9wUGXK0Ha5WgugpH4_0ZdwPWdlrTukcClwj/s200/100_4846.jpg" /></a></div><br /><div></div><br /><div></div><br /><div><br /><br /><br /></div><br /><div></div><br /><div></div><br /><div></div><br /><div></div><div> </div><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjTDBVxRAGsL595-hV5ZXu82y5Kd9de0N0o1oOfYYjqdcsIPVrOMivsvQFr2EktHpgGFDS7ffkRwZ4PYC4YSm1hMbFXtkFtovXn5e9vL2qomAoyZzEh2C-CVTxIV10e-zEOr4JL/s1600/100_4865.jpg"><img style="MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 200px; FLOAT: left; HEIGHT: 150px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5458915429795921202" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjTDBVxRAGsL595-hV5ZXu82y5Kd9de0N0o1oOfYYjqdcsIPVrOMivsvQFr2EktHpgGFDS7ffkRwZ4PYC4YSm1hMbFXtkFtovXn5e9vL2qomAoyZzEh2C-CVTxIV10e-zEOr4JL/s200/100_4865.jpg" /></a><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgRwPRTd2BAq44NCY4HKvz1UEmkMjDXuj3TB-WrmFXVD2KqCq7XixfqRuQ9FTecu801bV8jArQLRJ2uQhGWVOejOCyb3r7IAQgJEusbYWiTSM41eg7AjqttmECPDAf1tnW_TGqY/s1600/100_1131.jpg"></a><br /><br /><br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjy-bU7gEnUno16tbw3jkIWFmpuvNS3onMB99-c1h5Kou2HwESY2GDXeAzRGWP6Bu_q-A5qGLVwqZTmAOwp9VLJVI5aP-ut_rjUvH4ZF0cTwr9XDNzDCMgOJebvW1GE5s7XmaI6/s1600/100_1128.jpg"><img style="MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 200px; FLOAT: left; HEIGHT: 134px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5458913754062710002" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjy-bU7gEnUno16tbw3jkIWFmpuvNS3onMB99-c1h5Kou2HwESY2GDXeAzRGWP6Bu_q-A5qGLVwqZTmAOwp9VLJVI5aP-ut_rjUvH4ZF0cTwr9XDNzDCMgOJebvW1GE5s7XmaI6/s200/100_1128.jpg" /></a><br /><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg8clmKS68oBcUz8iisAQSmCJnDIArCsqyXbXrgPuCUDmrhyphenhyphenz7UpvYglSwaem2gr6R7Fsga5Y4707PlEKsAA0H0Cxb3szSWCUeou_pVXJWvC1tVDdvvtgmMs6FjbyskLq93NB8-/s1600/100_1126.jpg"><img style="MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 200px; FLOAT: left; HEIGHT: 134px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5458913275000751602" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg8clmKS68oBcUz8iisAQSmCJnDIArCsqyXbXrgPuCUDmrhyphenhyphenz7UpvYglSwaem2gr6R7Fsga5Y4707PlEKsAA0H0Cxb3szSWCUeou_pVXJWvC1tVDdvvtgmMs6FjbyskLq93NB8-/s200/100_1126.jpg" /></a><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhd0E1GB5uWsewU1KmS9QO_-lqsMjxXnc2ABaRKDiaS79pgoLjQSjgGld-WSd1XnSF6ws_dyq2IT683LuECVDPPUME29Ev7Q8mQA0SejNOSpChNK81-p9pr9kVEyg8QsLcEEHBo/s1600/100_1123.jpg"><img style="MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 200px; FLOAT: left; HEIGHT: 134px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5458913093737488818" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhd0E1GB5uWsewU1KmS9QO_-lqsMjxXnc2ABaRKDiaS79pgoLjQSjgGld-WSd1XnSF6ws_dyq2IT683LuECVDPPUME29Ev7Q8mQA0SejNOSpChNK81-p9pr9kVEyg8QsLcEEHBo/s200/100_1123.jpg" /></a><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgJIIkfs5d52wP6kzmb0VhTWJlZr7MzGQF4UFtixSqypmjr9mIV4U7HSrwMC1kOQw1KYe9VWBESwn8HAeY0JOWNCTK50zbRf779I-JPeb1Tt6wr5yU91cBM47gzJs4DbPtmTXKA/s1600/100_1122.jpg"><img style="MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 320px; FLOAT: left; HEIGHT: 214px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5458912829768901954" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgJIIkfs5d52wP6kzmb0VhTWJlZr7MzGQF4UFtixSqypmjr9mIV4U7HSrwMC1kOQw1KYe9VWBESwn8HAeY0JOWNCTK50zbRf779I-JPeb1Tt6wr5yU91cBM47gzJs4DbPtmTXKA/s320/100_1122.jpg" /></a><br /><br /><br /><br />I finished two more baby penguins that I had promised both my Wendy and Missy, Caroline's neighbor, who loves penguins also.

In the meantime, I am still working on a sweater vest for Wendy. I got the back of the sweater done, and most of one side in the works so far.<br />In my rest time I worked on this little horsie. I had just a little of this color yarn left so I had to scale back the pattern from the original plan, but Im please with it as it turned out. The pattern showed straight legs in the back, but Amber said it should curve back like a dogs legs do, so, I tried. Even made a little saddle on his back LOL! Hope she likes it! The color is not really pink, but more like peach. Closest I had to tan.<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiUUDkxoNp2phGol3McihPBw2WaDnVwp24NOIVZu3KUYL33yd4y59A5L3FD3oIqAEywf5LEWFshx-4uLPwofCcq_D680QhIPK49buyKpKWUGTNcZCja24-gLCfALuHnIp7XnV21/s1600/100_1071.jpg"><img style="MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 400px; FLOAT: left; HEIGHT: 267px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5453827369076193330" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiUUDkxoNp2phGol3McihPBw2WaDnVwp24NOIVZu3KUYL33yd4y59A5L3FD3oIqAEywf5LEWFshx-4uLPwofCcq_D680QhIPK49buyKpKWUGTNcZCja24-gLCfALuHnIp7XnV21/s400/100_1071.jpg" /></a><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg3ZmEQ_sH1a9AUIeoftGmilqYSB7rMgunAU8-nRyc1NZMF0cZtMYT7midtdbtYHYNRbjsyCxrBpyZ1SNpZBW402ZOsil7ry6KKOUYeiK1OwEJawEunw5zmfRuxjqCsAPpCEAru/s1600/100_1069.jpg"><img style="MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px; WIDTH: 320px; FLOAT: right; HEIGHT: 213px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5453827889953153330" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg3ZmEQ_sH1a9AUIeoftGmilqYSB7rMgunAU8-nRyc1NZMF0cZtMYT7midtdbtYHYNRbjsyCxrBpyZ1SNpZBW402ZOsil7ry6KKOUYeiK1OwEJawEunw5zmfRuxjqCsAPpCEAru/s320/100_1069.jpg" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgmfNLasEVW0I3158XFJAraXfeTmMLxzi2hfmBlxNj7fjqJovyDmRmYMmmxk4yiNGY7WqxBQunGBTbJ4Fnqk5Xsp-kfGw-wiMBBmUb_ephZKu9XU9RYyJE9o3eUS9KOjWAV9ZEA/s1600/100_1070.jpg"><img style="MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 320px; FLOAT: left; HEIGHT: 213px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5453827574020569634" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgmfNLasEVW0I3158XFJAraXfeTmMLxzi2hfmBlxNj7fjqJovyDmRmYMmmxk4yiNGY7WqxBQunGBTbJ4Fnqk5Xsp-kfGw-wiMBBmUb_ephZKu9XU9RYyJE9o3eUS9KOjWAV9ZEA/s320/100_1070.jpg" /></a><br /><br /><br /><div></div>gammamomahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12995472696807781835noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8407597.post-40125104676741074982010-03-23T10:04:00.004-04:002010-03-23T10:13:10.414-04:00A New Penguin Personality,<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhZoZY_a4MuCGvfNT013X1oIoDDJmu0PxGW1T99iOHu1uUEBmyAJhvrkaVxnKW-1rZ1AyZBfs7xAV0f8cdwe5iLunV7nZVVSRJlBTp2SFSkZkvG9854JlyN1zfXduB1Dzwbk_tk/s1600-h/100_1067.jpg"><img style="MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 214px; FLOAT: left; HEIGHT: 320px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5451830855326207698" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhZoZY_a4MuCGvfNT013X1oIoDDJmu0PxGW1T99iOHu1uUEBmyAJhvrkaVxnKW-1rZ1AyZBfs7xAV0f8cdwe5iLunV7nZVVSRJlBTp2SFSkZkvG9854JlyN1zfXduB1Dzwbk_tk/s320/100_1067.jpg" /></a><br /><br />Amber asked for one more Penguin for one her best friends, named Mercedes.

Caroline found a free pattern for a shawl in this beautiful design. She said, "You can make this for me, Mom". I told her yes its pretty and stuck the pattern in my purse. I really didnt look at it much in the store or have any plans for it till I got home, and decided, Yes, I can do this! I decided to start it and make it a surprise for her. It took several weeks to finish it, but I finished it last night, then drove over her house to deliver the surprise. SHE LOVES IT!<br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEik_-zi3T8NoErzI2Hl8V23M7UxbHvQUuzfM-h-wjVXjUSk-zcwKoMyknTkMxUhFy0YyFZWIkew2iPQ8L7j84tJxAs6z3gajKkpuPiRjSNBoYPfpXiKLbw79f0vmaBGhGykrNK6/s1600-h/100_1062.jpg"><img style="MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 400px; FLOAT: left; HEIGHT: 267px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5451461684349321186" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEik_-zi3T8NoErzI2Hl8V23M7UxbHvQUuzfM-h-wjVXjUSk-zcwKoMyknTkMxUhFy0YyFZWIkew2iPQ8L7j84tJxAs6z3gajKkpuPiRjSNBoYPfpXiKLbw79f0vmaBGhGykrNK6/s400/100_1062.jpg" /></a><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgAUZEthXei3pWnj-xM10pQSkvWAtPeirI2RJ9Jx0T31IGgwCCkrbpKul8p_SHg7ZdW4RUprSoKzTZ4NjIwMiITRWlVGbXcEYBH_gzojSTQ0XNlV3D0xe5UCz9u5X-0kJkY8dVh/s1600-h/100_1063.jpg"><img style="MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 320px; FLOAT: left; HEIGHT: 214px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5451461447113877714" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgAUZEthXei3pWnj-xM10pQSkvWAtPeirI2RJ9Jx0T31IGgwCCkrbpKul8p_SHg7ZdW4RUprSoKzTZ4NjIwMiITRWlVGbXcEYBH_gzojSTQ0XNlV3D0xe5UCz9u5X-0kJkY8dVh/s320/100_1063.jpg" /></a><br />The picture showed a much smaller girl posing with it, and I could had made it somewhat bigger than it is, but Caroline is happy with the results.
