winter

i'm so ready for spring to be here. i can open the windows and not look out and see snow waist deep to the mail box. ugh! oh well, it'll be here soon enough.
we were in Branson for almost a week. Bruce had the Missouri convention there and his brother and sister-in-law come down also and we each get our own condo at our favorite place and ANdrew and Rita and i just piddle around while Bruce works. he always tells everyone, he's working but it's his wife's vacation. Ha! i did do some shopping while i was there. it was nice weather, around 50 or so degrees, maybe warmer a few days then saturday it was almost 70 degrees. made me have spring fever, then we got up monday morning to leave and it was back down in the high 20's and flurries. we had nice roads to come back and it's been a deep freeze here.
we've been getting the main bath renovated and it's going to be done tomorrow. thank goodness! i can't stand the mess. we got new faucts put in on the main level of the house and we got a shower door on his bathtub and tile down instead of vinyl and tomorrow he's putting in a new bathroom exhaust fan and the trim. we came home from Branson and the toilet was in the hallway.
i think i've been doing laundry ever since we came home. i told bruce yesterday "we were gone a week how could we have 3 loads of towels?"
we're doing ok though. i went and had a doctor's appointment tuesday when we came back. i got my results back today. it sounds like things are ok for the most part. she wants to put me on synthyroid for my thyroid, things must have leveled off since surgery. my calcium is still a little low but i can deal with that on my own. and so is my vitamin D and i have to take a supplement for that.
mom is doing ok, she is still having pain in her knees and such. she doesn't get out much. i take her groceries when i'm out. the weather has been ick and cold so today i took her some water and some coffee. she was running low on coffee the other day so i bought her some but today was at sam's and bought her a really big can of coffee.
there really hasn't been much going on around here. i am making a new afghan for kelly and their new baby, haven't gotten much started on it yet but i will. been doing alot of reading, bought some more books in branson and have been reading them. bought some baby things for the 2 new babies that are occuring. uncle ray's daughter amie and her hubby are expecting a boy soon and kelly and mark are expecting a boy also. i think the ultrasound picture we got sent should pass for their birth announcement, it was adorable. you could defintely see it was a boy. i better go and take care of some stuff. love to all, treasa
