What's Happening?

Hello all, I haven't been able to post for a while now, as things have been pretty hectic around here.

My husband has been in the bed for 13 straight days now with a bad knee.  This has been very hard for him as he's a very active person and hates to be still.  He's held up remarkably well, though, and I'm proud of him.

Of course, I've had to wait on him, hand and foot, but that's okay, too.  I'm surprised at how well I've done, also.  Needless to say,  this has been a very trying experience for both of us, but, hopefully it's coming to an end tomorrow when he will have knee replacement surgery.

A lot of his friends have had this surgery with very good success and I know he'll have success, too.

I've been busy, when I'm not waiting on him, beading.  Of course, I've been beading.  This is my new favorite pastime.   So far, I've made 25 beaded rings.  The ones I make now are my own designs and, when I look at them on my fingers, I can't believe I made them.  (I wear one on each finger, including thumbs...just kidding.)

Hopefully, after my husband's surgery, I'll have time to start my great-granddaughter's Christmas dress - time is really getting short now.  I can't believe Christmas is only 4 weeks away.  I still haven't done any Christmas shopping.  I really don't have to do a lot because I give money, but the grands need to have some presents to open Christmas morning, don't they?

The leaves are still hanging on some of the trees (no pun intended).  We had a bad nor'easter a couple of weeks ago and the wind was very strong at around 60 mph sustained.  There was a lot of flooding, but not too bad in our area.  Norfolk, Va. had a lot of flooding and tree damage.  I'm so glad that's over.  I got very tired of listening to the wind howling.  It gets on ones nerves after a while.

I went to Sam's Club for the first time in years yesterday.  I didn't buy very much, but the price sure looked like I did.  I want to go back and take my cooler and really take the time to look at everything.  The great-grands were along, so we had to keep checking on them.  All in all, it was a very nice day and I did get some cleaning supplies and enough toilet paper to last a year.

Until next time, adieu - Nana
