The big day

Well this is the day I leave for KY. I plan to shop for crafts while I am there and really looking forward to it. Hopefullly I'll be coming home with some great ideas.

Looking forward to seeing all my family especially my 84 year old Mother. To bad family's live so far apart these days. Still on the other hand I'll be so glad to safely get back home.

Such big plans when I get back. Completely changing my craft items and so excited about it.
I'll be doing the things that I've always wanted to do.

Designing women's totes is the big one, I can't wait to look for wonderful tapestry fabrics, imported fabrics for really high end totes.

I plan to offer totes of all prices, I don't want to price any woman out of owning her own custom made boutique tote bag.

What a wonderful day, Judith

Well this is Tues and 2 days to go before my daughter comes after me to go to KY. I had to put all my auctions on hold and my website. Although I have allot to do to get ready I miss my daily routine of tending to my sales and customers.
It's been storming here and floods. Power is out in allot of places, maybe I should be happy to go to KY just to get a way from the rain.
I have made a dozen trips to my bow room just looking around, I miss it.

The biggest problem is boarding my little Yorkie. You know some people are just not nice. When I call the vet's I'm afraid I'll make the girl mad. She is so busy and not to friendly. I have a apt. for this week but have to make another one for the following week so I can go to OK City to take care of my daughter that's having a baby next week.

Scary here with bad storms and hubby not home. The kids could not get hold of me so they called the police to do a welfare check on me. Embarrassing enough but the police drove by my house and told the kids I was at a neighbors house. I don't know where they got that story. Hmmm may be calling the police is not the best route to take.

Have a great day, Judith

My name is Judith and my world is changing.

If you relate to this please add a comment, the more the better.

I am a great-grandmother and a grandmother of 14.

I don't know how this happened so fast but it is here.

I'm in a Tessy, just now looking for my goals at 65 years old.

I'm not ready to be inactive or to be useless.

I may not feel the greatest anymore but I still manage to get allot done.

This morning I mowed the yard and weeded the flower bed in the front yard.

The lady next door came outside to compliment me on how she admired me for being able to do the yard work.

Of course she is 85 years old and to her I guess I'm young. She would give anything to be able to do something physical.

Oh course I would not have to do this kind of work if my husband was home, he would do it and I would not even offer. My gosh, I have enough to do.

However he works away from home in the summer so it's all mine.

I began making boutique hair bows about 3 years ago and started selling them on ebay and now on etsy.com under judithskloset.etsy.com.

I also made a webpage at ribbon-n-bows.com.

Great right???????

Older people take things more seriously and I am completely committed to my online business. I love making hair bows for little angels.

On the other hand I don't like changes in my life. This week I am going to travel to KY to see my Mother. She lives with my youngest Sister and I have never been there. Getting harder to drive that far by myself. On the other hand have you ever went on a trip with one of your children? Don't they have any fear at all? So I will close my eyes and pretend that her tale-gate tactic's and jet speeds don't bother me for fear she will accuse me of being old........

I have to leave my little Yorkie at the vets while I'm gone and I'll miss him, oh will this ever be over.

My youngest daughter will have a new baby this month and I will go to her house to help her with the new baby and her toddler for a few days. Sure is hard to stay away from home. After all they don't know how I need things to be when I get up in the morning.

I need my coffee in the quite, not just a cup but 2 hours worth. I need time to think about the day and what I want to do. I need to sit at my computer and read everything in my groups, check my auctions and look at my website and marvel at how pretty it is.

Then I have to figure out what to wear that day, depending on what my plans are. Well when your tending to a new baby all that goes out the window. Forget the coffee and the computer and waking up. You know it takes awhile for your legs to keep up with you.

Maybe this will be the last grand-baby, they are all so precious and I love them all so much. Give them to me when they are walking and I can have a good time with them and they sleep all night and can fix their own cereal in the morning.

If you relate to a changing life, feel free to post here, I need company, Judith
