I am Back

We just spent a wonderful week with Charles and his family. It has been so many years that company was such a chore for me, this year was great. I finally feel himan. I was told, the heart surgery would give me a new lease on life, I had no idea I had felt so bad all that time. I knew I was getting more frustrated but the feeling bad seemed to be a way of life. What a difference that has made.
To make good things even better, Ken and Kris had a family get together at their house, We got to see, Mike and Sheryl, Robert and Gina and families. It was wonderful, Robert was only 7 when I married into the family and Mike was 3. I have loved those little boys like they were my own. Now they are both bigger than me and Man did they grow up handsome and Men any Mom would be proud of, (plus they married really great girls).
As I said the week with Charles was marvelous. He was so handsome in his motorcycle outfit. Black chaps, black helmet, black leather vest, boots. The works, He also got quite a tan while here too, Shelle on the other hand got quite a burn. But she is awfully pink and white, almost albino. Josh got a burn and Joe tanned. Joe has more of his Dads coloring.
We spent most days swimming or just lounging. I went to town one day with Shelle and had my nails done, other than that I am not a traveler. Love to be home, in my chair, or by my pool or just relaxing.
Ken and Kris made it down on Saturday to see them arrive. The boys loved their Uncle Charles, Expecially Cay. He found, and I quote, "Uncle Charles playing with him was Exciting". Cays words. Of course we all had a good laugh when he said that. Jarod, on the other hand, is much more reserved and was not sure of the swinging up on Uncles shoulders. Too scarey up there for him. Evan was Evan, quite reserved, but loved having them here, when he wanted to show something he just took them by the hand and led them to his room or whereever.
Kiara was Kiara, shy, wanting Mommie, and the center of attention.
So that was my week, full of fun, laughter, swimming, visiting and eating. So now on to a diet. Darn I hate that word. But I started today, got to get myself ready for a trip to the dr and dont want to be told my cholesterol is too highy. Wonder why it would be? Could it be all the bacon I cooked, or the pancakes or homemade biscuits? Na, not possible.
