Steve went to pick up our new chair rather than waiting till August 25 when they could deliver it. Then Steve II came out and helped bring the chair in the house. But, not before noticing a scrape mark on the back of the chair.
After calling Homemakers, they agreed to bring out a different chair on the 18th and will exchange them at that time.
So, I have a chair to sit in now that doesn't need three pillows to make it comfortable. In fact, it feels so good with the lumbar support. I actually fell asleep in it today. That spells C O M F O R T !
37 Years

Yesterday was my husband and my 37th wedding anniversary. Wow! Seems like a long time but it also has gone by in a blink of an eye.
We went to three furniture stores and looked for a La-Z-Boy recliner for me. I still have my Dad's recliner which is very, very old. There is no stuffing on the left arm and had a nail poking out through the material. I had to have a pillow to sit on, one behind my back and one under my legs due to feeling the wood through the material.
We decided on a dark brown power chair, power lumbar, power neck rest, etc. They had it on hand but the delivery date wasn't until August 25. So Steve and Steve II are going to pick it up Friday. I am so excited. So Happy Anniversary to my husband, Steve. Thank you for such a wonderful day!

Day Five

And I continue on with the migraines...now into day five. Hopefully, this will be it. If not, at least they should lighten each day.
Do any of you get migraines? They really bite. I end up putting ice packs on my head, rotating to my neck, and forehead. Yuck. I'm glad my kids don't have them. Heather might, just hasn't been diagnosed by a doctor as far as I know.
Anyone out there have any advice? I'm taking Nucenta for it right now.

Migraines Again

Most of you know when I get cortisone shots in my knees, I get around five days of migraines. I take a med to help with them, and it does help some, but they are still pretty painful.
Since I had shots in both knees Thursday, I am paying for it....day three. I'm trying to figure out why I get migraines with those shots. They are anti-inflammatory, so they are to reduce swelling. So what, are they causing something in my head to shrink which causes the pain? So tired of it all.
Amber wants to have an outdoor wedding when the time is right for them. I think I will advise them to check into Azul wedding photography. There's still things to do before that can happen, She will be starting a new job soon so maybe things will fall into place for them.
We've started looking at what homes we might want to go look at. Hopefully, whatever home we choose, it will have a beautiful yard, too!

And the Singing Continues

Tonight two of my grandchildren are singing in their school concerts. The first one starts at 6 and the second one starts at 7. Bummer. I had hopes they'd be in the same concert.
First, Carter's class will sing. Then, Alyce's class will have their concert. I had thought we would eat after Carter's class. Now it looks like we will have to eat before we go.
Regardless, I am looking forward to tonight!

Music Is In Our Blood

If you know me, you know that I love to sing. Not only at home, but,
if I'm in the grocery store and someone says something to or near me
that triggers a line in a song, I start singing it. Well, that is until
Abby was old enough to warn me not to as we walk into the store. Then
when it happens we just look at each other and burst out laughing cause
she knows I REALLY want to sing that line.
The other 3 kids never told me that I embarrassed them when doing that. I think they just got used to it. I sang a few times in church (Heather and me), was in the choir at 1st AofG, at my Dad's funeral, and in my niece's wedding. Really, I'm not that great. Both of my daughters sing better than I do. My voice was a lot better when I was young.
Heather actually had a microphone and a sound system to sing with. She actually had a full music scholarship to go to Drake. I didn't realize how beautiful Abby sang until she and Heather sang a song in the backyard together. She's pretty shy about singing in front of people, I think. Heather sings with confidence (her voice). I'm hoping some day she'll do a song at church (when she gets the nerve up.)
Now my granddaughter, Taylor, and grandson, Jordan, are singing in school choir. Sydney sings too, I think. I can't wait to see this new generation bloom in song.
Heather played the clarinet and piano; but, she could pick up any instrument and play it. Taylor plays the clarinet now or base clarinet, I can't remember. Jordan wants to learn how to play the guitar. My husband plays chords on the guitar and Jordan wants Grandpa to teach him. Josh played the drums when he was young.
Heather and I took piano lessons at the same time. I would always play songs first in front of my family, then let Heather play as she was so much better than me. I've always wanted to have our family be a band, playing and singing together. Oh, well, maybe my grandkids will do that!

The Weather

I know I rant about living in Iowa, but, seriously, another week of frigid weather? I am so sick of it and I am not alone.
I think we will be getting snow the next four days. Yuck. Lord, are you listening to your followers? It is too cold in the Midwest and probably the East, too.
It seems like there are crisis all over the US. California was having a drought, now they are getting too much, too late. Brother. Life is not fair.
