Struck by Lightening

On December 24th, 2015 it came a bad storm with a lot of lightening ....I said "boy that lightening sure was close".  Since the net, tv, and phone would not  work after that......I called our provider!

When the AT&T guy came in the afternoon.  He showed us the phone box since it had been burned out from where the lightening struck!  and brought us a small piece of wire which is pictured above.

The repairman said we were hit hard, we sure were lucky.  We were so blessed and we went half the day not even knowing it!

We did lose a dvr, printer and Ooma phone box.....and a week of aggravation with them finally replacing the line that had been burned out.....but it sure could have been worse!

Grandson Riding my Wheelchair

My new wheelchair makes it much easier for me to keep my precious grandson!  

Being a 2 year old he had fun climbing on it.  I finally started creeping along with him on the back while he was giggling himself silly!

Hubs took this pic before I remembered the selfie stick that my daughter gave me for Christmas.....

No matter how tiring it is to keep a 2 year old.....Some things are so worth it!!!  I say it is a "good tired".....

My Wheelchair Gift

I am so happy that I got this chair before Christmas!  (I still do not like the wheelchair look) but it gives me independence!

My old chair was really trying my patience since I had to charge it 5 times a day, getting stuck everywhere......so to receive a fast powerful dependable chair is truly a gift!  It makes my spine stay straight which alleviates some of the pain......which is a another great thing!

Of course walking again with a walker (part of the day) is the most miraculous gift!  I still need the chair to conserve energy and to do housework though.....

I wish everyone a Merry Christmas as I celebrate with my family......the bestest gift ever!

Crying with Santa

I think this photo of my great nephews is so cute!  

Some babies do not care for Santa....and I understand that!

I hope your first day of December is going better than baby Logan's was!
