My Last Mission Post

Being that we only have two weeks until we fly out to pick up our missionary, I was glad that I got a couple of photos today so I could have one last post about this cute missionary.


James is the one in the middle :)







James is the one on the far left and he was bragging about the 'air' he was getting in this picture. He hasn't changed a bit!

Long Over-due Update

Here is what is happening in our simple little lives. For my 50th birthday, I decided to spend a few days in the hospital. I ended up with Viral Meningitis. As if that wasn't enough, I have been home, unable to drive for the past two weeks fighting the insurance company! Can I just say how much I HATE insurance. You can't be without it but ....... I saw a Neurologist in the hospital. I liked him. He ordered my meds for seizures, brain scans, etc. Of course, now, I can't see him because he isn't a "Provider". My doctor doesn't want me to see the only neurologist in Southern Indiana that is a "Provider." I will be playing Russian Roulette with a Neurologist. BLAH!~~

Larry is working his first full week of the year. That is both good and bad. Good because we need the money, bad because that leaves me home alone all week and most evenings. Next week should be better...... Plus~ Amanda and her kids are coming to keep me company this weekend. YEAH!!

Each day I feel a little better, clean a little, nap a little, watch too much TV, and check my email.

The guys are coming today to put in the new pool liner. I am not sure I will be able to swim this year, depending on how long I am on seizure meds. We are also having some yard work done but they are slower than me!!

So, all is back to normal in the Porter household for now. Spring is here, and I am putting in some strawberry plants!!! and a garden~!

My new FaVoRiTe video

I wanted to post this video on my page but I couldn't figure out how to do it. If you want a laugh or a little chuckle, check it out.

Change

Has anyone elses 'blogger' changed? To create a post, I have to go back to my sign-on page to write something on here. It is a pain. Did I, by chance, change it and don't know how to change it back? Someone help me, help me, help me please.......(this is not a puppy love - Donny Osmond from the early 70's, I think)

More Elder Porter

If he is recording something, I'd pay good money for a copy of it!!! I miss hearing him sing :(

More Elder Porter, but nothing too serious, OF COURSE! and in his suit, none the less.....

My missionary

James at Thanksgiving with the Elmer kids. Lucky Elmers!!

This is James, in the President's office. I guess it is okay to recognize that he hasn't grown-up that much........ is that a good thing or a bad thing?

Pampered Chef Party

I am having my first ever (and maybe last) Pampered Chef party on Feb 12. Everyone is welcome to come to the party, 7:00. I am trying to earn a large skillet. If you can't come, but want to support my habit, you can order something by going to www.pamperedchef.biz/margiebanet and click to order something and put in my name and I WILL GET CREDIT FOR IT!!! So, now is the time to order that cookie scoop you have been wanting.
