Happy Nursing Week

A Nurse's Prayer

Give me strength and wisdom,

When others need my touch;

A soothing word to speak to them,

Their hearts yearn for so much.

Give me joy and laughter,

To lift a weary soul;

Pour in me compassion,

To make the broken whole.

Give me gentle, healing hands,

For those left in my care;

A blessing to those who need me,

This is a Nurse's prayer.

Happy Nursing Week to all my Nursing friends

Happy Sunday to All….

Well it is cloudy again  with chance of rain.. Now I do wish

it would go away I must be honest.. It was heavenly last couple of days

windows open, sitting outside..so nice……

I started work on a variegated  bag on my round yellow KK.

Not sure how large I am going to make it will see once I get a little farther

with it….Thinking about a lining in it….we shall see.

My keyboard  and mouse are acting up  big time…I’d say its time

for a new one of each….

Mouse does what it wants to even after update on it..

Either clicks once to open something or  I need to click 3 times ..hate that.

Oh well this too shall pass….

100grandpa and Abby playing outside

She has so much fun with grandpa…He really goes into her fantasy world with her.

But that shouldn’t be new to me He has an imagination that’s incredible and kids just love that.

this was before the grass was cut yesterday.. Thank Heavens its short again.. right in between rains…lol.

My middle  grandson Kaleb was here yesterday  helping with mowing and  weed eating too.

Then when done he started chipping away at a piece of wood that came of the tree that came down the other day  He is trying to  make me some flower pots out of the wood….His idea.

Kids are great and what they come up with in ideas. Love it.

for now wishing all a wonderful rest Sunday…Hugs to all

Hope Everyone had a Nice Easter

Since this was my first Easter with all my kids and grands it was really nice.

I had the girls since Katie’s and Roberts wedding friday nite and saturday

my son’s boys also came to spend some time so mom and dad could have some quiet time

I decided to boil my eggs  saturday afternoon, let them cool and let the kids decorate.

Put all the utensils on the kitchen table and Kaleb, Daegon and Abby  colored Easter eggs

and decorated them, I think they had fun.

Especially since I let them do it all by themselves..No big mess to clean up either,.

Sunday morning for me was spent making green bean salad ( for my son),Boiled my potatoes

and made  german apple cake…My Daughter in law made the main Easter dinner so off we went sunday eve  for  dinner at their house.That was really cool, Thanks Danielle….

no pic of it of none of it my digital camera is on the fritz.

Took tons of pics at Katie’s wedding and only half of them took..

I think the battery needs replacing the cam is not charging right anymore.

anyhoo……Now I am catching up on all the rain weather warnings waiting for Katie to

drop the girls off….

On the weather front we have our usual flooded roads  but we are still able to get where we need to go on main roads.or the long way( I have to laugh at the long way since its only like 5 minutes longer than the backroads..LOL

So off I go to wait for my grand girls……

Hugs to all stay safe and dry….
