two of Christmas presents...

 The above is a photo of one of the towels I recieved for Christmas. it was a set . One of these days , I would like my kitchen done in chickens instead of the color green and leaves or rather vines, snuflowers might be a plus with the chickens...maybe a farmyard theme....I do have a few cow salt and pepper shakers, plus a few chickens...hey I like both.

This is another present I got...at least a kit on aryclic painting...This is my first painting based on the kitchen towel set I got.....I think I do pretty good for the first attempt. I first rew the rooster on free hand then painted.....I know I need wortk on the rooster`s legs and the sunflowers and the tail as well.

Merry Christmas

Wishing everyone a very Merry Christmas!

This morning after opening our gifts and watching my oldest try some ribbon candy, I thought of my dad and christmas of long ago when I was a child. The thrill of opening gifts...the joy of having a few new clothes and some toys when I was age approiate.....My dad would always think of different ways to get in as many family meals as he could. We didn`t always go to both sides of grandparents..as the weather didn`t always cooperate...but fun was still had, whether their was weather or not. Both grandparents house was always alot of relatives around, most of the time gifts weren`t handed out, but the love was there. The meal was usually a whole table full and if you didn`t get what you wanted the first go around, their usually wasn`t nothing left the second as like said alot of relatives. My paternal grandparents had 9 children and the maternal grandparents had 12 living children even though she had 14 in all.. Both sets of grandparents are gone now , but I still remember the good , fun times and the ones that are God`s angels, at least that is what I think and just waiting for each loved one to enter the gates of Heaven ...so they can give a big hug to you.

I thank all of the soldiers who are fighting to protect our freedom and all the families as well.

Everyone have a blessed Christmas and remember HE IS the REASON for the season.

clowning....biopsies results...questions....

I know I have not posted in about a week or more...just didn`t have anything interesting to post.

Thursday was the youngest daughter`s last day of school until the new year. My girls go to two different schools. The high schooler didn`t have school Thursday., her school lets those that don`t miss any days in the quarter miss the day that finals are on. I dressed in clown and went to school, as I was requested by the Kindergarden teacher. I am truly sorry didn`t get any pictures. When I arrived the kindergardener were having a tea party and I was asked to join in and they gave me a little cup of tea. I went thru my little skit while enjoying my cup of tea. They truly enjoyed it and so did I.
Next I went to First grade.....big mistake...they are mean....They stepped on my shoes/feet, seemed unhappy with the simple balloon animals , I did my little skit for them...the whole time saying mean things...then I left that class room and went in the gym were it was nice and warm and the second graders and third graders were having gym and I waited until they were done and went to the second graders class and did balloons and some of skit...then went back in to the gym to warm up and the first graders were in there and they tried to pull off my wig...needless to say ...the first grade class will not be visited again , at least those group of kids...they did redeem theirselves at the end of the day with a hug , but I will not visit them again. ( I usually visit at the Easter Parties).

Now on to the Biopsies result as I have stated on another post that I had a scope done and they seen abnormal tissue in the scope. Problem? When they did the scope the doctor came in when I was still out of it and told what they found..Question...Why dont they wait until you are aware of what is going on before informing you of what they did?
I went to the doctor and he told me I had acid reflux., in which I knew I had, I have esophagitis and a small hiatal hernia and then he mentioned something about barretts syndrome ,but only in passing and deciding what I could take over the counter , as I do not have insurance.The medicines I was taking isn`t strong enough. I then went to the Primary doctor and she stated basically the same thing and she added that the biopsies contained some barrett syndrome as well and kept asking if I expected that....Then I get a letter from the doctor that did the scope and it says nothing about barretts...I was just curiuos Why?...It just seems confusing when the letter says nothing about it......the specialist mentions it only somewhat and the primary mentions it and asked me what I think......and the letter like I said has nothing on it about it.

Could it be they don`t want me to worry about it , since barretts is a precancer?.......at least that is what I seen on the internet about it......and in my medical book.

well everyone have a blessed day!

Basketball...other things....

Well , my youngest got to meet the team, the certain team memeber was very nice to her....I think the young lady has changed , at least that is what I think. The next night we went to the game, they did win one game- the jv and the varsity almost won...that one was a close game. One of the team member posted on facebook that they was gonna win for their coach, theriselves and of course for my youngest...so proud, that they can think of her in that way, of course that is what the organization is for . Children committed to kids  is the name of the organization, they take children who are sick and team them up with a sports team...awesome, is all I got to say. She had a blast sitting with the team and the coach...who got very irrate...even stomping his foot a few times..but I guess that is what coaches do to get their point acroos sometimes...I have never seen it done until this game, but  oh well. I am glad her own basketball coach doesn`t do that. He does make them run at the last 10 minutes of the pratice....each child takes a free throw shot...if they miss they run the length of the gym...here lately they have running the most of the last ten minutes...they so need pratice.
We do have basketball hoop here at the house and she has been praticing with it here last the few days and she has gotten quite a few in the basket.

Wednesday, I go for my scope, I am kinda nervous and hope they find something that is causing the pain anyway and causing the feelings of food being stuck in my throat, which is happening alot lately. Last night , I took some fajita meat and brown it and chopped up a onion and few mushrooms and saute them , then put a can of rotel tomatoes and some corn and mixed in some angel hair pasta...it was good but it seemed like the fajita meat was hard to get swallow...the rest of it was good.
Well, I am gonna go and enjoy the nice weather...windy though.

Basketball....

we are on that season again, at least the practice part for now. My youngest lives for basketball. Since last time we were playing I have found out about an organization that puts children with life-threatening diseases with sports teams Champions committed to kids....needless to say I signed my youngest daughter up for that...Guess what sport she picked.......that`s right basketball.Yes, the Leukemia is gone, but their is a slight chance it can come back, and we do deal with the after effects of the chemo...being so tired so easy at times, like this past weekend...I let her stay up Saturday until alittle past 10 pm and the first two mornings of this week...she was back to my little grizzly bear...I do mean grizzly bear...not a happy camper...Last night I made her go to bed at 7:30, she usually goes at 8 :30 ,but she needed that little extra time...as she is meeting the coach and the team tonight after school....so excited for her. I am glad that there are organizations out there like these. She has been thru alot with the chemo...she lost her hair not once ,but twice....I look back at pictures of her when she was on treatment and she looks so ...I can`t find the exact word...let`s just her picture now are different then back then. I know she is older...but she has been thru alot in her 11 years that no child should have to go thru. not to say that my oldest hasn`t been thru alot either. Neither one of my girls should have to go thru what they have been thru in both their lives....but I am sure that God has a wonderfull plan for them and that is way they have been thru so much.I know it has made them stronger in some sense.

Sometimes, during practice I look at all of the other girls on the team and my youngest looks different then they do.....I think what my mom told me is true that she should be an inspiration to them and to all that play against her...I know we are to treat her like she is normal, but sometimes it is hard as a parent to do that...we have been thru so much with her.

Back to the team she is meeting ...in which she knows one of the girls......and I am a friend to on facebook, despite the fact that she somewhat disliked my oldest and picked on her when they were in school together, likely now they don`t go to the same school...my youngest is worried about her not being nice to her when she meets her...I told her that she has to be nice to her...that is part of it...maybe she ( my youngest) will teach that young lady  on the team something about respecting everyone and not picking on certain kids , just because they are different or just because they don`t like them.......
Anyway , she gets to be announced as their honorary team member during the first home game....I am excited for her on that....and get a jersey of the team...plus seat on the bench with the team.....
I hope tonight goes good.

On my oldest, she doesn`t like basketball and wants nothing to do with it....but is looking forward to the game because of the nachos.....her best friend also will try and be there for the game as well.I can not post with out mentioning something about the oldest as their are jealous issues there.

I hope the game goes well, I have told everybody that I can think of the know my youngest daugher about it..they said that they will try and make the game. Hopefully my youngest will be their good luck charm of sorts.

Happy Thanksgiving

Happy Thanksgiving

my banty Cochins

 ok I thought I might show a post on my banty cochins, I really don`t know what color you would call this rooster , but he is one of the hatch from this past spring...maybe a calico??????

                              This is a golden lace ...rooster, of course I do have a hen that goes with him , but you she is occupied with a baby of sorts......from this years hatch.

                        Here is another rooster of course, solid black and also from this years hatch.

                 I think this one might be a buff columbian but not for sure...also this years hatch.

               This is a columbian , he is such a big rooster, he is from last years hatch, don`t know how I turned out with this color...I wished I knew.....I have him paired with hen below.

                 I hatched out one from these two this year, not saying that they laid only one egg, but that is the only one that hatched out in this color....I think their were out my big birchin color rooster that I had and something got........

                        I really don`t know what color this one is either...but ain`t her head beautiful...the golden colors and the rest of her is black.....

               Here is my one and only birchen color cochin, like I said before I did have birchen color rooster but something got him....

Here is the Golden lace ...short-stuff...my oldest said the other day that she is not a chicken...she cross the road while my hubby was pulling out of the driveway headed to work...lol

That is all my cochins in the banty variety.
