sorry,long time no write.life has been busy this past week.ludmila was sent home this past wednesday.she is not doing well but because she has used up her insurance days in hospital(21 days)they could not hold her there.she doesn't see the oncologist until the 11th.as for us,nothing so new.no new furniture.i did look last weekend but i guess my heart wasn't in it.we did have some warmer days this past week so there were alot of students in shorts and tee shirts.it was only in the 50s but they were beach ready.i am trying to finish knitting some baby items for my friend olgas' baby shower next weekend.they are so little you would think the practically knit themselves.not so... hope you all are well as this winter winds down.sending lots of love your way.

hello again

sorry for the lack of blogging lately.i had some strange hip pain for the past week,so i was laying low.i was able to finish some knit and crochet things i have been working on.that is a good thing.so i just got a call from my doctor and i officially have ostioarthritis.yipey! now i have something else to keep me up at night.my girlfriend ludmila was home for only three days and is now back in the hospital with an infection.it sounds as if she will be in for at least ten days.some times life just sucks and you have terrible weather to make you feel even worse.i hate sounding so down.there is a bright side.it is mid february and there are some great sales on winter things.i am hoping there will be some great sofa sales(we need a new one in a bad way).business is not that bad and we havent had new furniture for almost 17 years. 2 kids ,2 dogs ,2 cats and lots of company and friends in between have taken their toll on the sofa and love seat.wish me luck and a good deal.have a great day.

for the confused

i know that all of us have been on the internet for awhile.this blog is just another way to update,vent,show pics and maybe show some artwork.i have found blogs much more interesting than facebook and i also like this format more.now for the hitch.after setting things up i found out at the end of last week that my friend Ludmila has advanced ovarian cancer(she went in to get her gallbladder removed and instead had almost half of her digestive system removed).she just came home today and will need alot of help and support.as you can imagine we are all very sad and uncertain as to how much time she has left.the doctor said 20% survival rate.please say some prayers or good thoughts.so that is some of what is going on in my life.it is the circle of life.my friend olga(who has had little luck in getting pregnant)will be having a baby at 40.she is excited and pooped.lots going on.bye for today.have a day full of joy.life is short.

first post

yes i am finally jumping in.this is the first day on my blog.i feel like a new mom,very excited,afraid to do something wrong and forgot to buy film for the camera.in my case need to buy new digital camera.so i appologize there won't be any pics for a little.
