I'm not doing a great job of blogging regularly. I'm much better now and I'm able to spend longer stretches at the computer, but somehow my ideas just don't wind up on my little screen. Today I'll attempt to do a little catch up.
I've reached the point now where I'm trying out a pump. It takes some getting used to and presents a few problems like what to do with it, where to place it, for the least nuisance when exercising, sleeping, or going to the bathroom. Overall I'm quite enthused about it since it eliminates giving myself so many shots. I just wish it did the testing too since my poor left hand fingers are a mass of bruises and kind of tender. I can't use my right hand for testing since I had breast cancer in the past. Financially, I had no idea being a "fragile diabetic" would be so expensive!
My youngest grandson was baptized two weeks ago. He's a wonderful grandson and I'm so proud of him, not just because he took being baptized very seriously, but because he's tender hearted, has a great sense of humor, is doing great in a dual immersion school, and is so full of life and curiosity.
My son-in-law who was injured in Iraq has been under a lot of pressure lately and is having some problems with his heart. He'll have to have it stopped and restarted, which is scary and involves a lot of appointments at the VA hospital. My husband and I often watch their two-year-old while he keeps his appointments. That's such a fun age! She loves to go visit our neighbors chickens and geese, have tea parties with her stuffed animals, drive an old toy school bus loaded with plastic horses around the house, and she's discovered my Christmas books. She also likes to line up her dolls and stuffed animals on the stairs or around the dining room table where she orders them to "Sit."
Last July we ordered a new patio door and screen from a nearby store. Getting it has been a joke. Over and over it has been brought out without needed parts, with the wrong parts, or some part that doesn't work right. Today we thought it was finally intact, installed and all was well. But no. The screen only opens from the outside.
My daughter, Janice Sperry, had a cute Christmas book published last year called the Candy Cane Queen. She just got word this week that a publisher wants a middle grade novel she wrote. She signed the contract and it is scheduled for next June. Needless to say, I'm really proud of her. Speaking of Christmas books, With Wondering Awe, which includes a true short story by me is now available in bookstores.

Thanks Mom! I'm excited to get my first real book published!
I hope the pump works well for you. I can't believe how much they charge for life-saving medical supplies. It's morally wrong.
Congrats to your daughter, and what adorable grandkids! You are living the dream, woman--pin cushion hand and all. Such a cute family!
