Sorry it's been so long since I've blogged. I do miss you all and miss hearing about your lives and goings-on. Just thought I'd check in and update you all.
My sister Lisa is still fighting her ovarian cancer. She's one tough cookie. Keep those prayers coming please. I know several of you are keeping in touch via email and I really appreciate you! Lisa has exciting news ~~~ SHE'S GOING TO BE A GRANDMOTHER IN JULY!!! Her son and his wife are expecting her first grand baby!
Where should I begin... hmmm...
My daughter Hayley, just graduated from nursing school with her BSN and already has secured a job at a Ft Worth hospital. YEA! Nursing school is tough - those folks are on the front lines every day - I have a new respect for them - they are definitely Florence Nightingales and sometimes spend way more time and thought with their patients than the doctors do! So proud of her!
Adam Fears, my country musician son, is still in Nashville and on the road touring, and his video, "Middle of Nowhere"came out TODAY on GAC Great American Playlist program at their "one to watch". He made it. It's been his dream since GAC's beginning to be on there! Take a listen and a gander at his new video... If you're interested, the same show will repeat on May 22, 23 at 11:00 am Central time. His songs are available on ITunes, too!
He's doing great!!! If you like the song, pls go to www.gactv.com, go to videos and click "emerging artists" in the left column. Scroll down and you'll see Adam's video in the listing. There's a place to send email requests and comments, too, if you're so inclined. The more comments/requests he gets the better his songs get in the ratings! Thanks!
In other news...
I'M GOING TO BE A GRANDMOTHER IN OCTOBER! Can you believe it's finally happening??? It's MY turn! And me and my sister Lisa are BOTH expecting our first grand babies! Lisa's first comments were "YEA! We'll have babies at Christmas-time!" and "Vickie, it's just something else that we can share!" We've not had any little ones at Christmas since my daughter and her son were young! And they are 25 and 26! My son and his wife are expecting - my New Zealand/Denver kids. Mine and Lisa's two kids that we thought would be the least likely to have babies, much less get married! Couldn't have planned it if we'd tried...
Farm life is going ok, I'm still in the chicken business and working on my garden, altho it's smaller this year. It's been a weird spring - the weather has been crazy up and down in temps. We got a late freeze and it got my plum tree, but not the peaches. Cut my grapevines way back and it looks like we're going to get ALOT of grapes this year. Been doing a little painting, too. Will have to update my art blog...
Well, that's all the news for now. I'll try to get around and do some visiting as I can. The best thing that's going on (besides the babies) is that I'm getting to spend LOTS OF TIME with my dear little sister/best friend! She is my heart... Take care friends - will try to be back soon!
