I have been so bad and not wrote anything for a long time. I just stay so busy. I have been making quilts for the Relief Society. so for I have about 12 of them done. They want 15 to give to the Nursing Home and can't get anyone to help make them. It seems to me they have great expectations but no one will follow through. I have really enjoyed doing this because it makes me think about Mom a lot. I know that she loved doing it. I am just thankful that I know how and can do it.

Charles has had phenomena so I have had to stay in the house with him and make sure he did the things he was suppose to do. I have been trying to keep him out of the hospital. I am just tired of always having to do for some one else. It seems that every day there is someone wanting me to do something. I just have to keep saying Heavenly Father help me to stay where I can. Sometimes I wonder do they appreciate what I do. I just have to keep remembering that "Kindness, Patience, Understanding, Tolerance and Unity will increase as we serve others, while Jealously, Envy, and Selfishness decrease or disappear. The more we give of ourselves the more our capacity to Serve, Understand, and Love will grow.

I am suppose to go this morning and get my H1N1 virus shot. I hope that it does not make me sick. Right now my back is hurting me so bad I can't hardly sit here and sure can walk. It has to get better because it can't get any worse. I pray that I don't have to have surgery. I had to get all my flowers in the green house and I have been in trouble ever since. Then yesterday I had to unload 300 pound of feed to feed all these animals here. But I had to or Charles would have so I choose the lesser of two evils. He tries to be good to me but doesn't have anything to be good with.

Well we got passed Jack's surgery. Went back to the doctor yesterday and he was released to light duty. He can drive but can't pick up anything over 5 to 10 pounds. He sounds good and is suppose to come by tomorrow to get his flu shot. I guess I just need to become a nurse so I can do all of this with no problem. I have had to give so many shots and things since I got to old to do that kind of stuff.

I have spent the day today putting mu flowers in the green house. It is starting to turn cold and I sure do not want to loose them. I have got most of them taken care of so that I want have to worry about them. Still have to put plastic on the front porch so I can keep my ferns in there. They will be all right as long as the frost cant get to them. At least that is what every one says. I usually have to buy new ones every year but was hoping to save them this year. They were beautiful.

I have a big back ache from all the lifting. but I will be okay. I have to go watch Breezy and Megan in the beauty pageant Saturday afternoon so I have to get better. I have to pick up pecans also. got a few and I need to get them up. I would love to cut the leaves up in the yard so it will look better also. Just not enough time in a day any more.

I am so Thankful for what health I have and that I am able to do all that I do. I guess I do fair for a 71 year old. I feel good most of the time. Thank you Father in Heaven for all that I have and for my Children most of all. I love them so very much.

Have had a long day. Got up at 4:30 AM. Got ready and went to the hospital with Jack. Was suppose to have his surgery at 8 AM but had a emergency from a wreck and did not get to him until after 1 PM. I was tired of sitting and my feet was swollen so bad they ached. But they finally got started and it did not take them long to finish. He came up to the room and was hurting quite a bit. Gave him some meds and he was off to sleep. I hope that he slept all night which would be better than I have done. I went to bed at 9:30 and was up at 11:30. For some reason I could not sleep tonight. I have to be up and back at the hospital early this morning to take him home. I am going to be one tired lady tonight.It is now 3 AM and I still can not go to sleep.

Today 34 years ago I gave birth to a wonderful beautiful red haired baby girl. I loved her so very much. She grew up to be such a pleasure. She now has 3 wonderful girls of her own. I hope some day that they all know how very much I love them. I am so grateful to Father in Heaven for the opportunity to be the Mother and Grandmother of these girls. They are so full of life and sure wonderful girls. I pray that the Lord will always bless them that they will only know happiness. I hope they never have to feel the pain or loss that I have had to endure. they have always been such and joy in my life.

I have a terrible week. I had heartburn so bad all week that I thought I wanted to die. Any way maybe I have gotten it better. I am not hurting this morning anyway. I tired 5 lap blankets while I was hurting. We are doing them for the Nursing Home. I have enjoyed doing that. I have tried togeather up the leaves out of the yard but can't hold out to do many of them at a time. I don't know how I will ever get all of them up. Plus the pecan are ready to pick up. My back just will not let me do all that I need to get done.

I have to go to Andalusia this morning with Charles to court. He has a small claims case against Wacovia Bank for the CD that they will not give him his money for. I don't know how that is going to work out. I will just have to wait and see.I am so sick of banks lately that I am about ready to close all my accounts and put my money in my back pocket. Someone had fun on my First National Bank account and spent 750.00 dollars of my money and I had to fight to get that back. I don't know what this world is coming to.

Jack will have surgery again in the morning. He now has a rip in his intestine form the last surgery. I hope this one will get him all well and he doesn't have to have any more. We have done everything to keep them from giving him morphine so I hope we got that all covered. He goes nuts when they give it to him.
