What a day!

After a nice dinner with Ange, Greg, Pavia and Robin I came back to work and received a phone call that The kids were in a accident. Robin said the car was mushed up pretty bad but the kids were OK. Ange had bumped her head and was hurting in her neck so the paramedic thought should go to the hospital. They said she had a concussion but Pavia was OK Thank God! The car had hit them on the side the car seat was on. It only takes a minute to happen I am so grateful they had Pavia in a car seat and their seat belts were on. It could of been a lot worse.
I know that I am only the step Mom but boy that kind of call can make your heart drop so fast. I guess Robin was right when he said I was marrying a family, I did and somehow along the way I have started worrying about them and fretting about them and feeling very protective. Robin just steps back and smiles when I do and say see I told you....

Weaving Class

I did it! I took my weaving class and loved it Mary who taught it was great and I have a beautiful new scarf. I am already starting on new projects. I think I many really like this the hardest part is tying it all on the loom and getting started but it gets easier each time.
Greg and Angie and Pavia are all here safe and sound. I just wish they could stay longer. With working I feel like I won't get to see them very much. I am working extra hours today since Phyllis called in so maybe I can sneak out early Wed. Now if only if it would quit raining so the contractor could get started.

Pavia

I so happy come Monday Pavia will be here with her Mommy and Daddy. It seem like it has been so long since we have seen them.

Flu shots

After a long wait in line at Rite aid for Mom we took her out of the line to go to lunch. They were lined up to the back of the store and moving very slowly. After lunch she and Robin got their shots with very little wait. Robin called me and had me quickly run down and get one so all three of us have received our shots. It was strange when I got in line the girl taking the info and the nurse both remembered my husband, I wonder what strange and wonderful stories he told to entertain them? Mother and Robin have no mark and said it didn't hurt. Mine hurt like heck and my arm is black and blue and sore! It isn't fair!!
I was afraid not to get them but we didn't get the H1N1 yet. I cannot remember so many schools and businesses closing due to any illness this year. Good heavens they are even closing libraries and they never do that. I have sanitizer by each computer in the history room hopefully people use it and stay home if they are sick. I am also spraying with Lysol when I leave at night (I hate the smell).

New House

OK it is official Robin and I bought a new home and can't wait until we are in it. I sometimes have to pinch myself to believe I am so lucky to have such a great life! I am truly blessed. A great husband and now this beautiful home. I can't wait until we get busy painting and moving in but it has some things we have to do first like getting the heating hooked up and running water....

Linda strikes again

OK Linda has us doing a blog together for genealogy. It will be fun I think, how does she get me to do these things?????
It is called the Cemetery Divas and it is our adventures, lessons and experiences doing genealogy. It should be fun.
What else can she possibly get me mixed up with??? I am afraid to ask

Weaving

Linda is a bad influence on me I think. I am now taking a weaving class it will be private and start at 9 A.M. and go until 5 P.M. on my day off what am I thinking! I hope I can figure it out and not make a complete *** of myself. I am now noticing yarn shops and reading about the different fibers. I even caught myself looking at spinning wheels again. This is not good!!

time flys

I have been busy doing nothing and lost track of time. Every time I think of putting something on my blog I get side tracked.
We have been up to Mackinaw Island twice in the last month once just Robin and I to see the semi's and old tractors go across the bridge that was nice and a much needed vacation with my husband. Last weekend we took Kenny up for a quick vacation when he was here visiting us for two weeks.
Sunday I took Mom to Traverse City for the day just to get away and let her see some of the beautiful fall colors.
This work thing gets in the way but I love taking these short little road trips.
