It's me!! Checking in......

I got an email today from a friend here on Blogger, checking to see if I was still alive. I knew I hadn't posted anything here for quite awhile.... last March to be exact. So I thought I'd write something to say "hello" and I've missed you.

Hubby and I had to down-size on some bills and our internet connection was the first one, since it's a luxury. Therefore, I'm not on the internet much anymore. I read my emails each morning and check in on FB a couple times during the day, to see what everyone is doing, mainly family, but that's about it.

I've been spending my time crocheting. And since I love doing it, I'm not missing the computer very much at all.

My current project is this:
I started this April 22 with a few squares, not knowing what I was going to make. Now it's almost big enough for our twin size bed, so I guess that's was it's going to be. It's gotten big enough, and the weather warm enough, that I have it on a card table, and not my lap. 

My childhood friend that lives in Florida also crochets and she sent me a box of yarn she didn't want anymore. This is what arrived the other day .......... 
What a blessing! 

I had a very nice Mother's day. My girls never forget me, and I feel very blessed. Daughter #2 gave me this box of chocolate covered strawberries. They are so good and she knows how much I love them. For those of you who see me on Facebook, you probably saw this. Then daughters #1 and #3 cooked dinner for us. 

My youngest daughter, Teresa, also gave me a massage before dinner. I've had some awful back pain lately and now she thinks I have a rib out of place. I guess I'll have to call the chiropractor. 

Our newest little member to the family is growing like a weed. Our great-grandson is just starting to scoot around on his belly. He hasn't managed to get the knees to work yet, but it won't be long. He's such a joy to have around, always smiling. 

I guess that's about all I have to report. I hope you are all well and happy. 

Until next time, remember this .........
