Our First Big Snow Storm on 2015

We had our first big snow storm here in Holly last week and it dumped a bunch of snow on us, plus blustery blowing snow drifts of over a foot. We were happy we had food, warmth, pop, movies and internet to keep us company. We were cuddly and cozy, while it was bitter cold outside, but I loved watching the snow come down ......

Eye Doctor Bad News

I had my Eye Appointment on Saturday and I was thrilled to be able to get new glasses. I couldn't see very good, but Clyde picked me out a nice pair of glasses that he said looked nice on me. They are much darker, tortoise brown color and square....I get them in 3 weeks...UGH!
Well bad news is that I have Retinal Bleeding in my left eye and that is why I am seeing those floating purple tree branch like things. I was told to make a appointment straight away with a Opthomolgist and then go from there. I am also supposed to keep my blood sugar, my blood pressure, and my cholesterol under control and monitored at the Dr.s office. If not I can get a retinal tear that is irreversible and I could go blind in that eye. This is very scary to me. I am worried, but will leave all of this in God's hands and pray he will look over me.....I will keep you updated..

Visiting Ben, Katie and Bobby

I spent 3 days with my daughter Katie and Bobby and my sweet grandson Ben...He is the apple of grandma's eye....I just love him to bits....of course also his Mommy and Daddy.
I had a nice time. I didn't have as much pain this time and it was easier to do things. I loved watching Ben smile and giggle and play.. I am so thankful to God that I have such a wonderful family. I have two wonderful daughters who I treasure with all my heart.  Being with Ben makes my pain go away and my depression so much better....♥

My Daughter Got Married Today

I have always wanted my girls to get married to a man they truly love. One who is kind, a gentleman who will open car doors for them, make them laugh, one who is smart and treats them like a princess. 
Holli found that in D.j. and she married him on June 1, 2014. 
The day was magical...The day was priceless. 
There was so much love between them that you could feel it just looking at them. I have been to weddings before but I have never seen this kind of love between two people.
I watched my husband walk her down the aisle to the most beautiful music I had ever heard. I don't think that there was a dry eye there. The look on D.j.s face as he saw her come down the aisle to become his wife was a look I will never forget.  She was radiant, she was glowing, and she was beautiful.
I will treasure that day forever. I was so proud to be her Mother. I watched the ceremony and saw Katie dabbing the tears from her eyes.  
The most wonderful speeches were given before dinner and as Katie spoke the words to her sister she had written, she said, " Holli is not only my sister, but my best friend, and I know she will always be there for me".....my tears came...Happy tears I call them.
Her Dad then did his speech and toast and I know he was nervous, but he did amazing. At one point Holli took her white napkin and put it to her face. As Clyde looked at Katie and then to Holli he broke down and so did most of the guests. I was so proud of his words he spoke. They were truly from his heart.
We are so blessed to have D.j in our family. He is a wonderful man and loves Holli beyond words. I know they are going to have a long life together as Man and Wife and now we look forward to grandchildren but after they enjoy married life together. We are so blessed.
