Hi Everyone!

[Janet]

Sounds like everyone has something going on doesn't it. I think Facebook has hurt us a lot...anyone else think the same thing? It's so easy to get a quick check on everyone and then off we go again...

I've been on the computer too much too Diana, only I'm not doing anything productive, mostly checking forums real quick and then playing games. I need to get our taxes done, but haven't done that yet...or Ricky's. I also need to learn to put this computer away for awhile. Seems like once I'm on it....the hours fly by and my house shows.

Been taking care of whatever Mom needs. She went to the Dr. today. Still has fluid in her lungs and Dr. thinks it's because of the dialysis. It's not taking enough fluid off. It's so hard to find a balance.

Ricky lost his job so been busy trying to find place for him to apply to part-time. It's hard to work and go to school, not everyone wants a part-time employee. Please keep him in your prayers.

We are considering selling Fancy. Haven't decided yet for sure, but I bought her for a specific purpose and so far nothing. It's like selling a family member and will be hard, but somethings gotta give somehow.

Looking forward to spring break the last full week of this month. Can't do much of course, but maybe I can get my house in order...clean a few closets and drawers. I just want to be able to sleep a little later...lol.

Hopefully everyone will come back to 4WT soon. I do miss the closeness. As nice as FB is for keeping in touch with friends and family, I almost wish it didn't exist. It's drawn alot of us from here.

Looking forward to baby news from Diana and keeping Dae Lynne in my prayers for a safe and easy delivery.

Hi Everybody!! I'm glad you started this thread, Gayle. Working and weddings and babies and medical tests and care giving....life does get tedious sometimes, huh?

I have been busy helping Teresa. I took her to see her surgeon today. He said she was doing great and can start cardiac rehab in 2-3 weeks. Then I get to drive her there 3 days a week I really don't mind, lol! I'm just thankful she's getting better!

I decided that I'm tired of looking at my bedroom walls, so I'm painting them tomorrow! The carpet is blue and the walls are very pale blue. It really doesn't go with the rest of my house, but I can't get new flooring right now. So I'm painting my walls a color called Crushed Grapes. It should look decent with the carpet...I HOPE!! I have ordered a new quilt for the bed. I want my room to look sort of "feminine antique". Yes...I just made that up, lol!!! Here's the quilt... http://www.walmart.com/ip/Carmel-Quilt-Set/10730039

OH! I love quilt spread, Betsi!!! It DOES look feminine antique!!! Is the crushed grapes wall color like the purple in the quilt?

Betsi, I thought you might be spending time with your sister-in-law. It sounds like she is really doing well! I'm sure your TLC is helping LOTS!

We are all busy in different ways, aren't we! I guess spring is the time we begin to get out and about and start doing more things!

Diana, I know you are so thrilled that the new baby will be here soon. Then you will be even busier!

I hope that you and Glen are able to find that perfect 5th wheel and do some traveling.

Janet, I know you are busy with your mom, Ricky, work and everything else!

Paula! You haven't told us that you are still having respiratory problems. Please let us know what the CT shows!

I enjoy facebook, but the communication there is so brief and superficial. I find that I enjoy connecting with friends and family but on a very brief and episodic basis - nothing like the connections I find here.

I know we will be more active on 4WT - we all wax and wane from time to time. But I do miss the closeness here when the site is slow!

Betsi, I bet that your room will look adorable when it's done!! I love the bed spread!!! You must be in the painting mood, now that you've been helping your son!!! I have some painting that I want done but I'm so slow and cautious about picking out just the right color!!

I agree with the FB comments. I like it for a quick check in but I'd much rather be on here. I have to be so careful of what I say on FB because you never know what might get spread around in a small town like ours!!! Small town living at it's worst!!!!

Paula, you're going to have to keep us updated on how you are doing. I didn't know that you were still having problems.

I sure hope the grapes match, LOL!!! It hasn't come in yet, so if it's too bad I'll just have to send it back. I was hoping to get enough variety of colors that it just sort of "goes together".
