Snowed In

We are definitely snowed in here in PA we got about 20 inches. I'm staying in and enjoying a pj day. Hubby's one plow job sent fresh baked cookies and my bath bombs came so a relaxing day.Stack of magazines and movies to stream a warm cup of tea. The last hoorah to nesting...smile....

Been awhile

 Hi everyone! Been awhile since I've blogged. The surgery went well. I totally panicked as soon as I got in the room but luckily they already had the sedation in the IV so my surgeon was holding my hand telling me it's going to be alright and next thing I was out for the 4 hour operation. I am so thankful I didn't go with the first doctor and got a second opinion because she was really just wonderful and caring.So they took alot out and say they could not believe that I wasn't in for emergency surgery since my blood flow was cut off to some organs and block and pressure. Anyway it was a mess but since the surgery I am slowly recovering.  Finally getting back to living and enjoying everyday things. Got the spring decorations out yesterday and started spring deep cleaning. We started to redo the kitchen and I got rid of sooo much after it was out to put the new floors in I didn't want it back in.. My sweet niece turned two....

 My sister had her party at a tea room...

I joined Facebook manly to keep up with family a little better but I'm not sure what I think of it.It's quick and alot of old friends are on it,but I think it's rushed and unperson-able. A connection that's not really connecting. Who knows maybe it will grow on me...smile....Thanks girls who sent cards and emails while I was away. I'm hoping to get a swap posted for Spring tomorrow and get them going regularly again. Warm Blessings!~Amy
