Let's play catch up

Hi

It's been quite a while since I've been here...

I have missed my little blog and my amazing friends.

This is what's been going on (the condensed version)

Remember when I was complaining about getting terrible leg

cramps last year?

I thought it was my back that was causing it, 

because I had hurt it moving a dryer,

well...

In January I went to the doctor 

and found out that I have diabetes.

THAT was the reason I was 

getting cramps.

So I went on a diet, started riding my bike 3 miles a day

and reversed it...my sugars are normal now, I've lost

weight and best of all, no more cramps!!

 Then two weeks ago my daughter moved into

 an apartment in Tempe.

 She's going to Arizona State University this year.

I'm very proud of her but I miss her so much.

The house is super quiet...my niece moved there too,

so it's just me & Helena.

Here's a video of her singing 

Bizet's Je Dis

Ive been working in my garden to distract myself

and I found a great surprise!!!

 baby pumpkins!!!

                                                             I didn't even plant seeds!

Toadstools in the corner...

 

overflowing buckets...

bright fuchsia bougainvillaea... 

I also wanted to let you know that 

I'm getting ready for Haunted Humpday

at the end of August...

If anyone has an especially creepy

scary story they'd like to share

I'd love to feature it!

Just send me an email.

well I think that it's for tonight.

I will be back in a couple of days with some

projects and updates on my gypsy wagon re-do,

and of course a give away or two:)

thank you for sticking around!!

see you soon!!
