Just a little update here
Hubby came home from surgery and everything is going fine. The tumor was removed and the Dr is sure he got it all. Hubby will have to go and have some treatment so that it doesn't come back. We will deal with it when the time comes. This week he has to have the rest of the scraping done on the esophagus ( SP) and stomach. By the time he is done he will be brand new...lol.
Well the kids will be here today for dinner and I am so looking forward to it. I have a full work week and this week is time to get ready for the egg hunt at the club. I still have a few things to be done, but have my sister to help and that is a biggie for me.
Have a great day

Nothing really new around Mole Hill
The only good thing is that it is starting to get warmer out and I even got out side to play a bit today.
It has been a really long 3 weeks at work. One women was on vacation for 3 weeks and while she was out our 3 managers took a week off each. Then we had people out just sick. I am off this week end. Went to a bridal shower yesterday and today just chilling.
Last sunday we went to see the movie Wild Hogs and I have to say if you get a chance to go do it! It is funny.
Went to the Dr a few weeks ago and some of my test didn't come out to good. I knew my Lupus was just a tad off and the test was right. Just going to have to keep a watch on it for now. Don't want my kidneys to start acting up.
Hubby goes in the hospital this week for the tumor in his bladder and hope that this time all goes well, don't want a repeat of last time. I will be on him like a hawk!
I will say one thing ....getting old isn't for the weak of mind. Have to keep going.
Oh I have a birthday coming up soon and Hubby bought me the Photosmart printer. It really prints great little pictures and I love the fact that you can just take it with you wherever you go. I just want to know who did the research on it ...say that the prints will last 100 year in a glass frame and 200 year in a photo album???? Have they been holding out on us and had this stuff all the years? How in the world would they know that they are going to last that long? and who going to be around to know????
Well that about it for now
Catch you on the flip side Good Lord willing and the creek don't rise

The Joke on ME!
Posted by Dee Dee at 8:18 AM 3 comments
The Broom
Now one day Maggie our 5 yr old granddaughter was have a snack at the table and it was like she just saw the broom for the first time! Now I am a firm believer that kids are to have fun with...lol.
Our conversation that day
Maggie...MomMom why do you have that broom there?
MomMom...Why Maggie that is my Witches Broom.
Maggie ...MomMom can you fly on it?
MomMom...Why yes I can, but we don't tell anyone!
Maggie ...I want to see you fly now.
MomMom...Oh honey I can't fly it now! It is daytime and I can only fly at night when no one see me.
Maggie...Well MomMom is you go flying tonight and you come over to our house, just don't come crashing into the big window! I don't want you to scare me!
Now I am trying my best to keep from laughing. You might think she knows about the way I drive! Now as time goes on and Maggie is here many times after that day, she never brings up the broom again. One night they were here late and Maggie comes up with the idea it dark out and she wants to see MomMom fly! Now I have to come up with a reason that I can't fly tonight!

Story from my Grandaughter Emilie
There's nothing better than baking sweets right? Except eating them! Well I've got the best recipe for you. I call it Valentines Day Surprise.You can make them so tasty, all your friends will smile with delight and happily say that your the most brilliant creature ever.
one tablespoon of vanilla, and 2 eggs. Mix these items as fast as you can with lots of love. Now for the secret ingredient. For extra special flavor, add some hand fulls of chocolate to taste. Combine everything together. Once all the bumps are gone , pour it into a well greased pan.
Place in the oven for 12 min. When time is out take your creation out and as they say in France, bon appetite!

The Laundromat
I will start this by reminding all that I was married at the ripe old age of 17....(I know I know way too young).
Now on with the story..Hubby was in the Navy when we were married and we spent time in Conn. and then on to S.C. I love the south and everything about it. Oh I forgot to mention this was in 1966. Now being from the north and not used to the ways of the south at the time, I had a few adjustments to make.
We had a small trailer that was in a very small trailer park with all his shipmates living there...well it had one road in it....lol. Now the trailer we had 8x35 ft and it had a washer in it but not a dryer. So every few day around I go to the laundromat to dry a few things, the rest of the stuff I hung in the small yard we had. Oh I forgot to mention it rains everyday at 4 almost like clock work. Now after a little time Hubby came home one day and said he just had to ask me something that has been bothering him, with this I said ok what. He wanted to know why I only took the white clothes to the laundromat to dry and not the dark clothes? I told him they have a sign on the door that says WHITES ONLY! and it is a big sign so I'm not taking the dark clothes in there. They have a lady in there to make sure you only do the whites only! Now being that I am young and not to much of the world, well you see before I was married I don't think I ever left N.J. Hubby had to sit me down and tell me what the sign met. WHAT NO WAY! You can't do that. Now I had no idea that this was happening and we were in the south as the desegration was going on. I was shocked to say the least and Hubby had to take me around to show me more signs because I just wouldn't believe him.
Now many years later I was home and the phone rings and it is my friend, and she tells me I have to rent a movie and I will know the part when I see it. She wouldn't tell me what to look for. So out I go and get the movie and low and behold there is my story in the movie!!!! Oh the movie is "We Were Soliders. At that point I said to Hubby they stole my story! It has been told many times and I knew someday it would come back to me...lol. I don't know where they got it from for the movie, but it is just a little to close to my story.....lol.
Well that my story and I am sticking to it!
Peace and Hugs ^i^ DeeDee

Who can stay still the longest
As I was about to get ready to go to work yesterday, I was just sitting here doing a few things on the net and caught out of the corner of my eye a large flapping. Well who has come for a meal....good old Hawkeye ( as I call him, I know real original ). I have to name a few of the special birds or Hubby doesn't have any idea what I am talking about.
Now Chris the Baltimore Oriole is in the bush waiting to have his lunch. I was only hoping that Hawkeye didn't see him. As bright orange as Chris is I just don't know how Hawkeye didn't see him! I couldn't go out and chase Hawkeye or Chris would have flew away too and put him right in his path. I just hate waiting out the drama between the birds. As it turn out Chris stay real still and Hawkeye left not to long after that. I don't know why Chris is still here, it is much to cold for him and he should have left. But as long as he is here I will keep him well feed. Oh I name him Chris because he show up on Christmas Eve and has been here everyday since.
Have a great day ....Just a little happening from Mole Hill NJ
Peace and love DeeDee ^i^

Work..need I say more!
Been one of those weeks! We are into inventory mode and nerves are a little on edge. We are trying to get the store ready and now the DM has come up with the great idea of sending us a big truck on Thursday and Friday. We will have inventory on Monday night. That means we work till then. Of all weekends SUPER BOWL! Don't know what the DM was think when he plan this one. We have about 8 of us at work that know what has to be done on the sales floor, so it is up to us to get it done. It going to be a tuff week and we just can't get a break till after this is over. When you start with the Christmas season and go right into inventory mode after that it can get tuff.
We aren't a big store like Wal-mart or Target, but it takes a lot to get ready. We only have 12 people that work in the store, not counting management.
I have a birthday party on Saturday and a super bowl party on Sunday. Tomorrow I have a funeral to go to for my Great-Aunt and we are to have a snow storm tomorrow to top it off. Not that we need that now.
I am into the winter dull drums and I don't like it one bit. I miss seeing my grandchildren. I am used to seeing them on a more regular basic, but this will pass. I go though this every year.
Hubby takes up his time going to the casino and other things, I'm just not into that. Well I guess I better find something to do or this winter will just drag out more.
Well that about it from good old Mole Hill NJ and time to get ready for a good night sleep, it has been a long day.

How it all started
Posted by Dee Dee at 7:13 PM 7 comments
Oh Boy!!! The tree is DOWN!
As I am running a little late this year..lol. The christmas tree is DOWN! The living room looks so bare without it.
Now I have been busting my butt at work and am on a three day weekend...yahhhhhhhhhh. I have a lot to get done around here. This morning it was playing on the blog and changing a few things around. Tonight while Hubby watches the football game I will be working on getting a few old photo scan and maybe a few other things here.
That about it from Mole Hill...oh it is warm and sunny again today. We are at 55 degrees right now.

Surprize for this time of year.....

It is over for another year....
It has been a tough month with sickness and almost losing Hubby twice in 24 hrs. He still has a way to go to getting back to his old self, but that will come in time.
We ended the year by going to the casino...dinner and some slots for me, poker for him. Yes Mr. Trump got my money again! We had a good time but was home early, don't feel like fighting the drunks on the road!
This week was good on a lot of way. This year for Christmas I gave a lot of photo that I have taken and was surprise at the response I got from everyone. I like to take pictures and think they are ok, so I thought give something of myself then just go and buy anything. Work out great.
The grandkids had a great Christmas this year and that alway makes us happy. It has been a rough year for a few of the grandkids after the spit of the parents, but they are getting by ok and making the ajustment.
Hubby got me a laptop for Christmas this year, I am trying to get used to it, but it is a really different feel to it, but I will get used to it in no time. I want to used it to get all my photos put in files. That way I can find a photo when I want it. I have about 5,000 photos to go through...lol. I think that will keep me busy and out of trouble for a bit..lol.
This fall my Aunt lost her husband of 42 years, I want to say that she has been doing ok for this time of the year and handle it well. He was a very fun loving man and we will miss him for a long time to come. She sent this to me in a email and I am putting it here to end this year with. She wrote this and it is a sign of healing for her.
Uncle Bob...Husband, Father, Grandpop, Brother and Friend to all.
A tear
Falling on my cheek
Remembering the love
Remembering the joy
Remembering the touch
Now saddened by the loss
The loss of the love
The loss of the joy
The loss of the touch
I will regain my strength
My strength to go on
My strength to feel love again
My strength to feel joy again
My strength to feel the touch again
My strength to remember the tear on my cheek
My strength to set it free, but always remember
the past. S.
I Wish you all a great year
Love.... Peace.... Hope..... DeeDee ^i^
