I thought we'd be moving in May, back up to the Richland Area but things don't always go as planned. Bridgit had surgery on her shoulder. She had a problem with the Rotator cup and her Bicep was ripped loose from where it was supposed to be attached so they put that back. Then comes multiple days of Physical Therapy. It's going to be 'multiple weeks' of Physical therapy. She was once back to 100% radiation of the arm but then she did some lifting so that dragged her back to less than 100%. Since she no longer has a husband to help with the heavy lifting she tried some herself. Not a good idea.
It may take us until July to get out of this house. And if I see any more Brown Recluse Spiders, I'll carry every thing out of here myself. I had a close call with one of those poisonous spiders. I was reaching into a file folder that sits beneath my desk top and felt a movement on my arm so I just without thinking flipped it off. Bridgit's ex husband shouted to me to not move and he jumped up and ran over to stomp the critter. And Bridgit came unglued one day in the bathroom while she was doing her hair. One was slowly coming down from the ceiling on a web and she just shrieked. Naturally Jess ran into the bathroom and dispatched it spider heaven. This is a pretty old house and not very well sealed. Lots of places where they can come inside and take up nesting.
School is almost over for the year. I believe that Olivia will be starting the 9th grade in the fall. In my day that was Junior High. High School was 10th, 11th, and 12th. Not sure about how it goes anymore. Olivia is a Great Granddaughter and a whopping 14 years old. She helps me down stairs because this house has a basement so it's up off the ground about 2+ feet. That means it's 4 good size steps from the sidewalk to the porch. And there is no railing for me to climb those steps. And the owner says I can put one up at my expense but I have to take it down when I move.
My last 2 months have been taken up with visits to the Dentist. I was going to use one of my stun guns on him when we first started the process. How he managed to get both hands inside my mouth is beyond me, but he did and gagged me to where I almost barfed on him. I had a set of dentures that my friend Rene' made for me when I lived on Midway Island. He got some new material in and wanted to practice so he called me up and set an appointment to replace the ones that I had been wearing for over 8 years. That was in 1966 and they served me well. Without dental insurance I made my own fixes. One of Charlie's dogs got the bottom plate off the headboard in the night and did some damage about 7 years ago. I used one of my small sanders on the rough edges and it was fine. The lower jaw bone has disentegraded so I did my own relining the plate. And I was quite happy with myn work. Those are only temporary relinings that you buy in the store. After I was designated 100% disabled, I got dental coverage from the VA. They don't have acomplete lab here in Walla Walla so the nice dentist I saw wrote a referal to a local doctor that specializes in Dentures. I now have a brand new set of teeth and he's recommending Dental Implants, but it's iffy ithat the VA will go for that. I might not want to do it myself. Granted they are a big improvement over dental plates but I'm at an age that I can live with these for about 15 more years. That will make me 95 yrs old and who cares what my teeth look like.
Well this has been a pretty long posting so I'll just say I hope you have a great week and I'm going to share some of the scrapbook pages I've made these last 2 months. I've made 36 pages but I'll only share the few I've made of the babies in the Shirley Family and my friend Cheryl in Grand Junction. And a couple of my Animal pages.
This is a Great Neice from Back East. Thanks to Kyra for the kit.
My friend Cheryl's Granddaughter Hayley and her daughter Nova.
Another cousin, I think. Elaina is proud of her new sister Ivy Rose.
My cousin Shyanne has a gorgeous son named Jamal. And he's a happyn baby!
My cousin Todd in Florida lost his Natalie last year and he has finally come
around to a new companion. Penelope is from the same blood line as
Natalie was.
This is my Phoebe who looks like a little old man with a flyaway beard,
I just adore this girl. She's a certified Companion dog.
And a Handsome young man in the Shirley family I believe
named Wyatt 6th birthday.
I have made 36 but this is only 7 of them. I have a very large family back East in the Warren Area (where I was born and raised), some in Jamestown, and some in Bradford. I told them it'd be one whale of a Family Reunion if I ever get the chance to get back there. I hate flying so it'd be a train ride or a car ride to get back there.
