Finally Back

Good evening, if I wait about five minutes I could say good morning. The thing is I can't sleep. My mind is whirling with things I want to do but either I keep forgetting to write them down or something else comes up and I don't get to them.

I sometimes just spend too much time thinking for a title for each of these blogs. I have to stop this.

I thought April was busy, and we have a few birthdays in the family during the first week of May.
I hope I don't forget anyone this year.

I am now getting sleepy which was why I put off getting on here for the last hour. Of course now I wish I had started earlier.

Our younger grandchildren have been having a hard time with viruses. Two of them were so sick that they lost a few pounds that they couldn't really afford to loose. One was in the hospital three times in about two weeks. One is in the process of cutting teeth. The ill ones are fine as of now but Adalyn is still dealing with teeth issues.

Wayne's big 40 party was a success. A couple of the above kids have just gotten over pinkeye including one mom and one dad from different families. Go figure that one. But they do work in the same place.

Quick update on book. I was having some difficulties and now I believe I need to start in a different direction then pick-up from where I started. This won't be as hard as it sounds. I will begin this process tomorrow, I hope. Name for sequel at this time (subject to change) is New Beginnings. So I plan on referring to this from now on instead of 'sequel'.

John has been on vacation this week and we planned a trip to Ohio to visit my aunt, uncle, and cousins but due to car issues, now resolved, and a neck problem I am seeing a neurologist for next Monday we decided to reschedule the trip until Memorial Day weekend.

Good night dear family and friends.
God Bless

Finally

I was finally able to get in here again. I just wanted to check in and tell you that the novel is coming along pretty good. Some days I don't get to it because life happens and other things get put on hold. But when you think about it life is the priority isn't it.

Friday night Korana is giving Wayne a big 40 party. Wow, I wish I had been able to have one. Not really, just kidding.

I am looking forward to celebrating our 50 years together. You know one man, one woman. I've been telling my family for about 8-10 years now about the party I want, but that would take a lot of money, so maybe we'll have a picnic instead. Guess that would work. Marriage is a wonderful thing if you find the right person. I did. Now I am patiently waiting for next summer, 2011.

Gotta go someone is here.

Bye for now and God Bless.

Another Day

Good evening everyone. I need to do this in the morning when my brain is functioning. Well, I don't know what to write except to tell you I'm pretty sure about the title.

Do you remember, Judy the lady that lived downstairs from Beth when she was with Barry? You are going to get to know her a little better and you will also get to know her sister, Meg. You will meet Will who is going to be a major person in the sequel. Come and find out what is going on with Courtney's seizures. Mae and Neil will have life changing issues in their lives also. Beth has a real life changing surprise too. And no, she is not pregnant. I know some of you have voted for Chad and Beth to have a baby boy. There is no plan for this so far. Please remember I am not writing this, I am just the channel the Lord is using.

April and May are full of birthdays for the Kelly family. I can hardly remember mine. We forgot our anniversary again this year. I don't think my honey remembers that he even forgot. Not yet. I really don't care. I still have him and that's what is important to me.
Enjoy the people you love, we really aren't guaranteed tomorrow.

This Saturday we are celebrating Ben and Shawn Jr.'s birthdays. Wayne's big 40 is the same day and Shawn Jr.'s birthday. The following week is Shawn Sr's. I don't promise to remember to mention everyone's. This is one of my famous disclaimers.

Wow, Wayne you are getting up there!!!

Until next time,
God Bless ya'll (I can see that smile Shawn)

Sunshine, Sunshine

Sunshine is so nice. Blue sky is beautiful and warm temperature is the best.
I think I have a name for the sequel, and I think it is the one I thought I had a while ago in the middle of the night and then couldn't remember what it was. I will tell y'all when I am sure about it. But I am excited that I finally might have the one I'm suppose to have. (I think).

We were invited to go to Niagara Falls today but John had to work. So, I'm taking a friend and go workout instead. I think the exercise will stimulate my brain cells and because John is going to church to set up for the egg hunt, I might get inspired to work more on the sequel tonight.

Today is our granddaughter, Willa Joy's birthday. She is five. Where do the years go? Our youngest grandchild just turned one a few weeks ago. But wait, out oldest grandchild will turn 29, yes twenty-nine this August. Isn't that great. We think so.

Sorry, I have to go and pick up my friend now. The book is coming together but it is a time consuming job. I love it.

Until next time.
May God Bless y'all.

Hello

Hi everyone,

There are times when I don't know where to begin here and times when I know exactly what I want to write. Today is one of those I'm not sure days. Between trying to do healthy things like eat better foods, and get enough rest, I have been working on the sequel. I thought I had a title but I don't. Well let's say that because I can't seem to remember what it was so I don't think it will work at this time.

Yesterday was beautiful, sun shinning. The feel of it warming my body as I sat outside basking in the bright light of it all, almost took my breath away. This all came about with a phone call from John, saying if you haven't been out put on a coat, take the blue canvas chair and go outside for a while.
So needless to say, being the obedient little wife that I am, that's just what I did. I'm so glad I listened to him. Now I'm looking forward to more of this warm, sunny stuff. Very soon. This has been one of the longest winters that I can remember. Don't know why.

Last Friday evening we went to Livonia High School for Gilbert and Sullivan's 'The Pirates of Penzance. Our grandson, Matt is a senior this year and has been in their musicals for a few years now. He had a part in "Miss Saigon". He was Uncle Henry in "The Wiz"and the Bishop in "Les Miserables". Now in the "The Pirates of Penzance" he played Major General Stanley. He was wonderful. He has a great singing voice and being a comedy the whole thing was so funny. I don't mean his singing just the whole show.I think the cast had as much fun as the audience. Matt was so thankful for the endless rides he received from his parents and the patience of his wonderful sister, Ketura for the hours she spent listening to him practice the songs. (the bedroom walls are thin, she said)

Well, thanks for listening. I need to get to the daily sequel time.

Until next time,
God Bless Y'all

Gone Missing again?

It does seem like it, doesn't it. Well after I told you about the leg problem it went to my arm and other leg. The difference is I don't have the extreme pain but numbness and pain in hand and arm is almost constant. I'm going to a chiropractor. I have never been to one before. I have been to him twice now. The first time he took a neck x-ray and scans of my back. Also had a lower back x-ray from last year faxed to him. Now it seems it's very possible I have a pinched nerve.

Now, Shawn told me this before I saw the chiropractor yesterday, so I guess I owe Shawn some money for his diagnosis because it looks like he was right.

Hang on Shawn, I'm broke for the time being. Just put it on my tab for computer issues I owe you and Wayne for.

And by the way, the sequel is finally moving ahead. I am so excited. I think you will all love this as well as the original. I am going to have to start using my Dragon 10 because of my hand pain but that's fine. I just have to re-train it to my voice.

Adalyn May Kelly is being dedicated tomorrow at the 11:15 service in North Chili. Then we are having a first birthday party at Wayne and Korana's for her. It's an exciting time for me to get together with our family. I don't get to see them enough.

Sorry to end this but my honey is taking me out for dinner and then to the gym to exercise. We don't get enough fun, quality time together so I'm outta here.

Until next time.
God Bless Y'all

P.S. Welcome to my new follower. I think I'll give all followers a discount on the sequel.

Missing

What is going on? Where have I been? Writing, working and oh, I spent part of yesterday in the emergency room. I'M FINE.

I woke with a pain radiating down my left leg and thought I would scream. In the end they think it was some kind of spasm. But when I called my doctor at 8 am they said go to a hospital to get a blood clot ruled out. They said the symptoms were too suspicious. So my wonderful son, Bob left work to come get me and we went to Thompson Hospital.

After an ultra sound to rule out a clot, he(the doctor) said it probably was something pushing on nerves or even a pre-curser to a bulging disk. So I was able to come back home in record time. I had to get some meds for pain and inflammation he said. If you know me well, you will know that I don't do well with medication. I get reactions. Nothing huge but I always think and research before I take anything new.

Well, I won't spend anymore time whining. Today is a new day and my leg is okay for the most part. Looking for healthy options for all my health issues.

I planned to write on the sequel today but just have not done it yet. Maybe later, I hope.

Gotta go for now,
God Bless Y'all.
