12 Months of Projects - 2015
My year of projects highlights:
January: Replaced Blinds in bathroom
February: Cleared out weeds outside kitchen window
March: Garden/Wonderland theme decided upon for downstairs bath
April: New TV - welcome 21st century
May: Planted out front
June: Our rotten neighbors left, so project diverted and also mulch out front.
July: Knee surgery - nothing but healing done
August: Cleaned up above closet - getting ready for paint then.....
September: Strokes Happened!!!!
October: Painted above closets
November: Finished painting around mural
December: Hung decorative shutters.
Well last year I thought was a biggie year but never say never. We have had many many struggles and things that have brought us to our knees in prayer!!! Our biggest and were still trying to get answers on is my hubby after having knee surgery exactly 2 months to the date had a stroke then 10 days later followed by a 2nd one. We were truly blessed by the Lord that he didn't have major problems that lasted. His biggest problem was not just doubled vision but crossed eyes that after wearing a patch for weeks did straighten themselves out - he was prodded and probed all over to determine the stroke was on the brain stem and we were blessed to have him here!!! He had a spinal tap to determine that he didn't have MS but now they are looking at that again so as health care goes we must wait till March to see that specialist to revisit the idea this maybe what he has. We continue to pray that his stroke was from not taking his cholesterol meds and also the unbelievable amount of stress we have been under. Our daughter is now home from college as she really struggled and the stress was overwhelming - so we continue to pray for her!!!
Other then that the house projects have not really been a priority but hopefully with a new year on our heals we can accomplish a few more things to knock out the stress!!! On a final note - I'm so grateful for a wonderful group of Dolly friends and the fun I've had taking pictures, participating in Blythe a day's and enjoying all your pictures!!! Thanks for a great community - looking forward to Blythecon and meeting some of you too!!!
