I have been more tired than usual. Really tired! Dermatologist says I am anemic from his blood tests, had a blood test for the primary care doctor and sent a copy to the GYN. He says I a stable and Gyn says my iron is okay but my hemoglobin is not and that is why I am tired. I think the primary care doctor only looked at the iron so have been trying to get through to him via the nurse and this is taking forever. I also had a tooth break off last Sunday night. Temporary crown on now! I know there are lots worse off but sometimes it is hard to not feel sorry for myself. So I can sympathize with Dennis about his tooth. Sorry about your refrig and the raise in the lake rental. How frustrating that seems and unfair! I am late reading this so I think you probably had your tooth pulled today. I hope everything is going well with that and that you recover quickly. That is so neat that you are teaching those boys to knit and that they want to learn!! Also unusual about the doctor and wife each knitting one sox but a nice thing to do together. Thank you for sharing some picture of your house and you sure have a lot of yarn. The knit Easter Eggs are darling.

I am sure you are not feeling very well this evening, but by tomorrow, hopefully, you will be much better, sweet friend. That is so awful that you may have to give up your precious camper! I just wonder if the dear Lord may be pointing you towards your dream of living closer to little Miss Piper. Who knows, but I know He has GOOD plans for you, and He is with you always. I hope things start turning around for you soon.

No bells and whistles. Maybe you should buy a older used one. And if Dennis is stressed maybe he should retire and/or take up knitting. You could get a camper and 'go on the road'!

Is there not another restful/peaceful campground where you can just move your trailer???? I hope you don't have to sell it... I see all kinds of trailer-parks around here ---so hopefully, as you check out the area, you can find a neat place to relax.....<br /><br />I had a big molar pulled a few years ago ---and was worried about 'chewing' without it.... Had NO problem and glad to get rid of mine (since it was cracked and couldn't be fixed).... I hate spending money on dentists --and as we get older, it seems as if more and more money has to be spent. We don't have dental insurance---so we only go to the dentist when necessary....<br /><br />You gave me the BEST excuse EVER since I have been saying that we need to clean out our fridge.... NOW --I won't do it!!!!!!!! ha ha <br /><br />Nice to see boys interesting in knitting and doing art/craft work....<br /><br />Have a good day, my Friend....

I'm ever so grateful my fridge freezer like your new one still works.. it truly is a tremendous miracle I know, and very grateful.. as its many years old.. <br />Praying for wisdom and grace for you with lake.<br />Maybe sit down and do some sums.. youre allowed to use it five months out of twelve.. so $300 increase is over 5 months is an increase of $2 a day.. (5 months approx 150 days).<br />So is it worth an extra $2 a day or $14 a week extra??<br />Maybe keep it till Dennis retires.. as that's coming up isn't it.<br />It would concern me though that you can't maintain it in off season though.. <br />Praying sis..<br />"God hath His way in the whirlwind and the storm and the clouds are the dust under his feet." <br />Hugs and prayer at the throne of grace on your behalf.

I enjoyed seeing all your fiber projects, in progress and finished, and it is fun to know of the knitting couple, and lovely that you taught the eager boys to knit! I'm praying for a safe and painless tooth extraction for you. I have no pain but they noticed while I was getting my teeth cleaned on Tuesday that I have a cracked tooth that needs to be crowned so you and Dennis have my sympathy. I am sorry to hear of your lake trailer situation, but so glad you have had and shared years of enjoyment there. I called my 98 year old Uncle Arthur yesterday to wish him a happy birthday and he reported they were expecting a big snowstorm today on Cape Cod. I'll have to check the weather to see what happened. It's raining here and I am enjoying it. xxGracie Saylorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09499163425742659172noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8162150278449660664.post-11821344072202904742018-03-21T18:37:16.287-05:002018-03-21T18:37:16.287-05:00Murphy is a busy guy!

The first was a Samsung and the door hinges failed. Samsung did not make replacement parts for it and were terrible with their customer service. Fortunately our DEALER made that one right. <br /><br />Then THAT refrigerator failed within 3 years. Either the compressor or the condenser went bad. Big $$$$$ and our house was on the market. So we bought a no frills, stainless steel fridge and hoped for the best.<br /><br />It's the new guy's problem now.
