What’s Up these days, challenges



 Again life has taken an odd turn and this year for so many of us it hasn’t been for the better.

We all have had to change so much of our lives dealing with COVID-19. Many countries are doing fair, a lot better than here in the US. 

And I understand everyone is so tired of this all but I’m afraid we have a way to go before it’s better. Like so many we haven’t seen our grandsons since February. 

I know my lost and challenges are not as bad as others but is better  compared to some. Beside being home bound, we lost our pet after many years.

Lost my step mother to cancer in the beginning of this year and was hoping to take dad out to travel some to help with his grief but that never happened. 

And for some time I was having issues, health issues and was putting it off because of dealing with what my step mother needed. I then waited a few months after her death because of the virus before being comfortable going to the doctor. Well after some tests she found polyps in my uterus and needed to have them removed. 

That went fine but found out they were precancerous and needed to have a hysterectomy. 

That surgery went well too but the lab results said there was cancer. 

Now I need to have another test and than another surgery to remove lymph nodes. Very low chance it spread but need to make sure. And than radiation. 

The prognosis is good. But still have a bit to go through. After watching my stepmom go through her cancer for the past 3 years I’m not in the mood for this. But I have no choice do I.

I am so ready for this year to be over and believe I’m not alone. My heart goes out for those who lost a love ones too, dealing with the fires and bad weather. 

I pray for everyone effected along with prayers for my problems  

I had intended to show some of what I’ve done but I’ll do that in another post, one that will fun and uplifting.  

I need to busy myself.  

Till next time

  4. So very sorry for so many losses you've had this year. Know that you are loved, and appreciated in the blog world. Faith will help you through. When I had cancerous uterus, 2001, and had it out, my faith sure helped me have a positive attitude about the outcome. And I'm still here, and kicking! My prayers are with you, and will be with you into the future. We can see the light at the end of the tunnel, and it is not from an oncoming train! Blessings to you and yours. J.

How to Make a Portable Design Wall

I had wanted to get a portable design wall to take to retreats but did not want to pay the price. Looked at various pins on pinterest and took ideas from more than one to come up with my verison. It worked out great and only cost a fraction of the price. The PVC pipes, joints and 2 yards of felt cost under $22.00 My design wall is 4' x 4' which stands approximately 5 1/5' tall. For this size need 2 - 10ft length of 3/4" PVC pipe for the frame and 4ft of 1" PVC pipe for the feet Cut the 3/4" PVC into 4 - 4' section                                                                                       2 - 1' section              Cut the 1"  PVC into 4 - 1' section        ...
