Happy 2011!!
It has been a very slow start to the new year for me. Just after Christmas I found a curious rash...on me...on my right side...it itched and then
there was this terrible pain...for anyone who has had them, you might recognize
even from this basic description what this awful affliction was......
I had SHINGLES!
It has taken until about two days ago to clear up and now I can finally get
started on this new year...this fresh start...this new beginning and time
of planning, making changes ( I never say resolutions...I don't keep those)...
a time of sorrow...a delightful friend has lost her battle with cancer and has
gone on to a far better place...a place with no pain or suffering...
an eternal home of bliss with the Lord! You are already missed dear friend!
And a time of joy...a new baby is expected in our family and I will, for the second time,
be a g.r.e.a.t-a.u.n.t!! Happiness!
Once the dreadful shingles were gone I began tearing through my house...you know,
the after the holidays purge...getting rid of all those magazines from the
past year, the dust bunnies in the corners, etc!
Now Grandma G's is undergoing a bit of a clean-up...items will be offered at
drastic discounts...a sort of cleaning out the cupboards; new items are being photographed and listings being written. Please visit often to see the
place all shined up and ready for visitors...and don't worry, I can't, and
wouldn't give you the dreaded shingles!!
I do hope you have all had a better start to this wonderful new 2011!
I send you all wishes for the best of everything, a year full of blessings!!
Warm hugs!
