2019 BANG!!!

This year is already speeding by. Sonny is getting better and better after his 2nd knee surgery on Dec. 11. He has been walking without a walker for 3 weeks now and though he still has pain, he can get around now and back to some of his routine.

Yesterday was our youngest granddaughter's birthday. Miss Molly turned 10. She is growing up so fast. They had a friend who has a large SUV that has a bench seat in the back like a limo...just not a stretch limo. And her parents and friends brought her and her friends over to Glenwood (which is closest town to us) and had a party at a party planner site. They did crafty pictures of unicorns and unicorn squad. So wanted to share some photos. 
This is the unicorn squad in the limo. Molly is the 2nd from the right with the pink crown. 
The party planners had these precut from sticky vinyl and they had to stick them down and then paint like a stencil. After painting each color they used hair dryers to dry between colors and coats. 

Once painted they then put glue on and added pixie glitter.
You can't really tell but there is glitter and paint on this. Once they got it finished and completely dried, they peeled off the vinyl and the planners framed them for the girls. 
The whole theme of the party was unicorns and even the refreshments were so themed. 
All of this took place in the back of a shop called Eclectic House. It is the neatest shop. While there I found a sweater vest and a blanket scarf marked down. So did some shopping while there. 
This is Sonny, my son and me in the workroom. 
It was so much fun but we left early before Molly opened her gifts but her mom sent me this photo of her with my gift and then this morning wearing the nails I got her.

Now for some not so nice news. I had an echocardiogram it is showed a Tricuspid Valve Regurgitation which is a leaky valve. I got back to the NP on January 31 to decide what to do if anything.

behind times-Christmas

We had a surprise visit on Christmas. Our youngest son and family came out and brought us some gifts. 
Miss Molly is becoming crafty and she painted me a star night light.
She gets her "crafty genes" from both sides of the family. Not only this Mamaw but her other one as well. Her other mamaw made the most beautiful quilts and she also sewed all her daughter's clothes when they were growing up.

The son and family have a regular place they go quite often for mini-vacations. It is Branson, Missouri. If you have never been there, you are missing a treat. They have all kinds of clean and Christian shows and entertainment. But they also have lots of crafty places and Amish stores and an outlet mall. So while they were there, they bought me a carved gnome on a piece of driftwood. 

I love unusual things and this certainly will be loved.

It's amazing how much can change in a few years. And seems time speeds up as you age. I promised to put up photos of the beginning of o...
