As most of you know Steven joined the Air Force. He left for Lackland Air Force Base in
September 2014. When he graduated from
basic training a group of us went to his graduation. I went with Kevin and Renea who took their
camper and we stayed at the KOA in San Antonio.
Brian, Tracy, Samantha and a friend of hers stayed in a cabin at the
KOA. Rick and Beth also joined us and
stayed in a cabin. We had a great
time. Of course, it was cold and
rainy. The ceremony was awesome and we
were able to spend a lot of time with Steven.
He really looks good! After basic
he stayed at Lackland to attend Special Services School.
I had a really bad time with depression for a while, so I
decided to head for Ohio for a visit.
Brian flew down (on an airplane of course), and I picked him up from the
Atlanta airport and he drove me to Ohio.
Took Miss Penny with me and she did very well on the trip. I stayed at Brian and Tracy’s this time. I even spent Christmas with them. That was a first. Before we went full time Christmas was always
at our house. Then when we were
travelling we were never in town for Christmas.
Anyway, we had a really great visit.
Steven was home on leave for Christmas, Bradley and Brianna came to
visit a few times and Samantha and I got to know each other a little better
because she was on Christmas break. Rita
and Bob also came to visit so I got to see them. Craig stopped by which was nice because I
hadn’t seen him in a long time. Jana and
David also came to visit, and I spent a couple of days with them at their
place.
I came home in mid January.
Brian drove me back. Kevin and I
took him to the Atlanta airport for his flight home. He was able to spend two days with us
here.
I am doing better depression wise. I do have some other health issues. I am working on getting them resolved.
As most of you know Mom was really good at crafts. She had a lot of supplies in boxes and bags
when she died, and I inherited them.
Jana didn’t want to even give them a try. So, I said I would and I brought all of her
supplies home with me. I am doing pretty
good with the plastic canvas. I have
made quite a few projects and they are getting better as I progress. Next I decided to learn how to crochet. I took one lesson from a friend from church,
and thought I can do this. So, I have
signed up for lessons at Hobby Lobby. I
had my first lesson this week. I still
think I can do this – maybe. I am
supposed to practice every day. I would
also like to learn how to knit. I hope
to take lessons for this because I don’t know anyone who knits. I bought a portable sewing machine and Renea
is going to teach me how to quilt. So
far I have learned how to thread the machine and the bobbin. I guess you could say I am making progress. I bought all the Dummies books for these
projects. Wish me luck J Mom also had a few embroidery projects she
was working on and I plan to finish them.
I am pretty sure I can do that because I used to embroider a LONG time
ago. Hopefully, it’s like riding a
bicycle – you don’t forget.
The most exciting part of this is Miss Penny trying to help
me. She also helps me watch television
(she sits on top of it and watches it upside down), read and work on the
computer. Don’t know what I would do
without her.
