Wordless Wednesday

 

The good, the bad and thankfully, no ugly!

Along with the funny weather last week, we also had a few other things going on.

This was the not so fun part.  I was having heart palpitations.  I had them years ago and got checked out and put on medication. But suddenly they were back and not getting better. So, Bob took me to urgent care. They did an EKG and said it looked like there was damage to the heart in the past. They sent us on to the ER. The EKG there was better quality and ruled out heart damage. However, some labs said there was a possible pulmonary embolus so I had to have a chest x-ray and a CT scan. Thankfully, those were also clear.  Things of concern were ruled out, and the thought is that my body got used to the med and I need to try something new. I now have a new medication and we're praying it is effective soon!  So, this was both bad and then good!

Then came more good.  I got a message from our son Andy in KY saying his wife Nikki had the weekend off and they wanted to drive up for a short visit.  Of course, we would love to see them!

Saturday evening, we had everyone over for pizza.  What a joy!  It's not often I get all my kids together at the same time.

The grandkids were having fun playing together.

And look what Andy made for us!  A beautiful address plaque to put on the front of the house.  He made one for each of his sisters too.

Here's Andy and Nikki with the sign.

The kids were playing and Alaina yelled "Grandma, get this picture!" Connor had come to sit with them, and she knew I would want one with all 4 of them.  

Then I told my kids I needed one of the 3 of them.  Andy is a goof, and this is what I got.  :)

But here's a better one; Heather, Andrew and Laura.

We had such a fun night together.  Andy and Nikki left for Kentucky on Sunday morning, so it was a whirlwind trip, but a wonderful time!

Fools Spring

You've probably seen this meme before, but I had to share it, because it makes me laugh and it's true.  This is what's been happening in our area this past week.

We had such beautiful weather on Wednesday and Thursday, temps in the 50's and sunshine!

Bob and I took a walk on nice clear roads!

This is the drive to Bob's wood shop. Earlier in the week there was so much snow on it that it wasn't driveable.

Down the road from us, the horses were enjoying the sunshine.

This cute little donkey came up to greet us.

Look at that beautiful blue sky!

I even opened the slider and let some fresh air in.

On Friday it started snowing again and we were all sad, although we knew that nice weather wouldn't last.  But, we also know that Spring will be coming!
