Hello to every one,
I hope all are staying safe and not getting sick, any kind of being sick is NO fun at all. We are staying away from people as much as possible and using hand wipes sprays and wiping all we come in contact with, just trying to stay safe. Take care of yourself in order to keep those you love safe.
When we got back to Oh from WV there were 3 cases here in Oh, now a week later, we are over 50 and growing. Want to head to WV as there were no cases there when we left.
Have yourself a lovely SPRING which is just around the corner.
HAPPY SPRING DAY TO ALL.

Lovely Colors
Morning to all,
Just a note to say my pretty Crocus are up and flowering. I want to stay out and enjoy looking at them, but the weather is just too cool for me yet. It does not stop me from opening the door to have a look-see now and then though.
Not seeing much showing life outside yet but, it is early.
Down at Nita's I will be seeing more "spring" in the way of plants sooner than here in Ohio. Just four hours down the road but, what a difference in temps at times.
Hope all are having a wonderful spring.
HAPPY ST PAT'S DAY to everyone.

The Lord works in mysterious ways
Hello to every one,
Just a note to say I am here, been so busy between here (Ohio) and W.V. that have not had time to do anything else. Hope all are still hanging in there. Still missing my sister and always will. I have been going through all her artwork and still am amazed at how many angels she drew and I digitized. I am wanting to resew them out and frame them and hang them all over the house. We have made quilts together using them and had a lot of fun giving them away to family and friends.
I noticed the other day that we have spring bulbs coming up at both homes and they are getting ready to flower and some are flowering now. All the shrubs are budded up and ready for that perfect day.
I can't believe that today it is to be in the '60s here and that makes me want to get outside and dig, well at least "rake" up all the dead from last year. 😏
Did I say that last year in Oct. while at Nita's home I fell down their front yard, fell right off the boardwalk they have that runs all over the front yard? You see their front yard is such a huge "hill", they added boardwalks to get all over the yard, well I fell off one of them and as falling flipped in the air somehow and landed down below about 3 foot and landed on another boardwalk face first hitting my cheekbone and side of my mouth. I also landed hitting my left wrist which left me a huge swollen area before I could even get up off the ground. Must have broken a blood vessel there. But, the biggest item that hit was my right arm, used it as a jack sorta, hit on the lower arm, right at the elbow or just below, which used the upper arm as a "ram" which sent it into my shoulder, which (months later when seen by the VA) now has a torn rotator cup in 2 places so it shows after the MRI that was done months later. This explains why I can not use my arm any more like normal. Can we fix it??????
The doctor told me this, at my tender age of (blank) he wants to keep me away from all doctors with sharp knives. It is better to just let it be, so now I can be considered a cripple for the rest of my life. I spent 3 months sitting in an easy chair because I could NOT lay down to go to be, only sitting and part reclining in a chair. I cannot use my arm worth a hoot. In pain 27-7 all the time. I live on the pain patch and spray, both with the 4% lidocaine. Always have them on and spray all around the patch. Got to say the best one to stay stuck on the best is Aspercreme. No, I do not get paid to say that. 😜 No, it does not get rid of all the pain, but it makes it liveable.
So here we are in March. I must say though by now the pain is getting easier to live with, still can not use my arm like normal and if I forget and try to do so, it will sit you down on your backside with a reminder that will last for a few days. I can now at least lay on my one side with much less pain and if I want to take a pain pill (over the counter) it will let me sleep for at least 5 hours. The most sleep I have gotten was about 3 hours at a time, and that is from exhaustion.
I still thank the Lord that I fell the way I did because if I had fallen over sideways, I would have had a metal rod stuck through my chest, which could have killed me. You see there was a rose bush there and my sister had a metal rod stuck in the middle of it for support. So to this day, I feel the good Lord just gave me a push back and downhill which caused me to miss the rose bush and therefore landed on the wooden boardwalk below with a face plant.
So that has been my fun since Oct. so what have you all been up to?

Today is my sister's birthday and I know she is with our Lord and taking care of all our pets who have gone to Heaven before us.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY NITA

Sad Sad News
Hello to all,
I don't know where to start, but I want and will have some kind of memorable update to my site about losing my sister, Nita T. She had hand-drawn most of the artwork on my site in which I turned into embroidery. You can see our work together on my blog. URL= https://craftyroseangel.com
I have been away for some time. I have been caring for my sister and her husband. They were both told they had cancer in the month of May this year. Nita passed on Dec. 2, 2019, from pancreas cancer. She fought hard having done the Chemo and radiation, but this cancer was nasty and would not let her win.
She left some artwork that she had not given me yet of which I will in time digitize for her. She also had two toy poodles of which are now mine to take care of along with my guy "Kricket". So now we have 3 dogs underfoot which do keep me quite busy most of the time. I have not had 3 dogs in many years, I am older and they give me a run for my money. During all of this I fell while at Nita's and did something very bad to my shoulder, so have been running back and forth to this Dr. and that Dr., In fact, every day this week since we got back up here. All seem to be thinking that I tore something. Time will tell, yesterday got a "shot" in the joint. It seems to be feeling a little better.
We have to keep going back and forth between W.V. and Oh. until we can get all things settled. This is taking longer than normal as Larry (Nita's husband) has the kidney machine 3 times a week, what time that is left leaves him so tired and worn out he can't go much.
Only touching on this so you will understand why I may be gone longer than normal for me for a while on posting. Why I may not want to post for a while, I need time to just be me and heal from my problem and my own time for greaving. I don't feel the other foot has dropped yet and I don't feel like my sister has passed. Just doesn't seem real for me at all.
So, for now, please just try to hang in there for me if you can. I will return in time and try to carry on as best as I can.
