Hi Katherine
I enjoy some "me time" watching the home & garden shows on TV but when I really need to lay-down I turn on the heating pad and try to read my gemstone books, I'm rather infatuated with different kinds of minerals that can make-up such awesome stones, beautiful colors ect. I have a small,(very small) collection. Last fall about Sept., my husband took me to the Crater of Diamonds mine in Murphysburo, Arkansas. We stayed a couple of days in the tiny town at a motel, during the day we went to the mine and dug for rocks, they have many kinds of minerals there beside the occasional diamond find by some very lucky people (not me) tho. I paced myself and made it okay, sun-block,hat,lawn chair, fluids and alot of help from God. It was the best trip ever, and we all know how quickly our lives can change overnight. When I was there I didn't have a care in the world, it was truly a gift!!!!
I love it when the grandchildren come, after a day I am trashed tho, but my son gets them every other week for four days and oh my goodness. The oldest is 4 1/2 and my sweet Ella is 2 1/2 and we adore each other. I had three boys, no girls, and Ella is the apple of my eye.
I used to love to crochet, cross-stitch, sew and garden but for years now the muscle pain has put a stop to such:sad: I never could finish what I started and now I opt for the heating pad. I thought of a thread for the "JUST FOR FUN" posts about poems about our heating -pads, I think I could come up with a few good ones except they would probably be considered too ris-kay, if you know what I mean:rotfl: I just may try to submit one someday. If my pad quits working I will do without a meal to replace it ( if I had to ) as I think some others of us would.
The computer is my friend as is this forum.:wink2:
Take care
