What an awesome day!

OMG!!!! this has been the best day ever.  Ken gets stronger and stronger every day and today he proved it. The therapist was here and using his walker she had Ken push himself up from his wheelchair and stand using the walker.  Not only did he do it once, but he did it 3 times......I was so proud of him I almost cried.  I had to get a picture of him standing.  I also got to spend some time in the shop.  I made these fun little milk carton carriers with 2 mini milk cartons. The are filled with candy.  I used the mini milk carton die from SU and then made the carrier to hold them.  If you would like to make the carrier, let me know and I will be happy to send the directions.  They are super-de-duper easy to make - that is once you finally get all the measurements right.  Took me 5 times to finally get it right!  I found this great glitter paper at Hobby Lobby and it just screamed Halloween.  The paper I used for the milk cartons is SU.  Hope you enjoy the pics.  And again - doesnt Ken look great standing up!!!!!  Love to all. 

How 'bout them ........

I was so hoping that I could rave about the Arkansas Razorbacks win over Alabama, but alas I can not.  It was a great game but in the last 5 minutes the "tide" changed and we lost after being ahead the whole game!  I am so sad - also - I have talked a lot of smack this week about my team beating Ken's team.  So tonite I am being oh so very quiet.  (Yeah like that would happen!!!!!)  We have had a great week and for the first time in a very long time we actually have no Dr. appts. this next week.  We have home health and PT but no actual Dr. visits.  Looking forward to Oct. 7th when we go see the surgeon and hopefully he will send us over to see Prothesis people and we can get started on this process.  The kitties Lucy and Ethel are enjoying Ken's bed in the living room.  They get up there now and sleep - one at the head and one at the foot.  Life is getting back to normal for us so am hopeful that tomorrow I can get back to church.  It has been 2 months since I have been.  Going back means like is heading towards normal and that is a good thing.  Bye for now and thanks for visiting.  Hope to have some pics for you of another Halloween project I am finishing.  Glynda

More Cans

So now I know that I can post only 1 pic at a time - so the next 2 postings will be pics only.  Oh well, this is all a learning process!!!!!

Halloween Treat Cans

I wanted to share these pics with y'all while learning how to get pictures onto the blog site.  Many of you have already seen these but some of you havent.  I am having oh so much fun working on Halloween projects.  I am really feeling the "fall fever" right now.  Cant wait to pull out all my fall colored card stocks.  Glynda

Grand Unveiling

I have taken the leap and started a blog site.  Thanks a ton to Deb F. who gave me the info I needed to start.  I wanted to have a spot to update friends and family of how things are here and also to post pictures of projects I am working on.  Ken went to the Urologist yesterday and got some new meds and this morning at 7:30 I removed the foley and so far - good.  He is able to go on his own!!!!  This is indeed an answer to prayer.  Home nursing and therapy still are coming twice a week.  Therapy really works him out.   But I can tell that he is getting better and stronger each and every day.  God is anwering our prayers and we can't thank you all enough for all the prayers you have lifted to the Lord.  I am working on a project now so in the next few days will post pics of them.  Have a great day.
