Grandma Lou January 19, 1940- June 6, 2009


We have had an absolute awful June! It started on the 1st when our court date for Maddie was canceled. Then that week we caught her doing some bad things and we confronted her about them and she didn't like it so I took her back to her moms house, which in the end turned out for the best because then we had no idea what we were about to face! Saturday the 6Th Dustins Grandma lou passed away. It was very sad yet at the same time there was such a spirit there. It was for the best cause she had been sick and hurting for a long time. We are just very sad that she is not here with us anymore to have our, sometimes very embarrassing conversations. She could always make me feel better about myself when ever I was around her. While all this with grandma lou was going on my Aunt Debbie was fighting for her life. She was in liver failure and they are not sure why. On Thursday my Grandma had called me and told me that they had finally got her on the transplant list and all we could do is wait and pray, Later that day my dad called to say she was bleeding internally and they had just wheeled her into surgery. We had just gotten into dingle on our way to Grandma Lou's viewing when i called my dad to see how aunt Deb was. He had just found out that she hadn't made it.I never in all my live felt so torn between my two families. After Grandma lous funeral I left to go and be with my family. This last Friday I came home to see Kayla's cute little baby and went to state to watch Chelsea. That night or early morning I got a call from Lori that Krista was in the hospital they thought she was in labor. Sunday morning I ran into the hospital to bring keys to lori. They had decided to life flight Krista her contractions were coming strong and fast. When she got to pokey they took her in for an emergency C- section. Her baby boy was 4 lbs 15 oz and was 8 weeks premature. He is doing okay and will be there for a while. We have lost and gained alot this month and are so very grateful for our faith that we will see our loved ones again.

Oh Char, I'm so sorry to hear about everything you've had going on! That's so terrible. Please hang in there, and you know I'll always be here for you.
So is Maddie staying with your mom at this point?

It was a lot of work painting my paneling, but so worth it. First I started off with a latex, white-based primer. I used a foam paintbrush and put some primer in ALL the grooves in the paneling and all the edges (around doors, moulding etc). That took for-ev-er! But then I used a paint roller and rolled on 1 coat of primer all over. Then I used a paintbrush and filled in all the grooves again really well with paint this time. Then I rolled on 2 coats of paint. You can still see the grooves but it looks so much better. You could always fill in the grooves like you would a hole in the wall, but that's way too much work for me.
Anyway, the hardest part was using the paintbrush to fill in the grooves. I have one more room downstairs with paneling, but it'll be a long time before I do that one. I have almost all the other rooms in the house to paint before I will do that one. So how are you?
