it has been a while since I posted on here and alot has happened. for one thing our computer crashed and we had to put everything back in which was no easy job.  YUCK!!  I had to have help with it by having Dell and the cable company talk me thru it and it was alot harder this time with my eyesight like the way it is.  not being to see great is not good when trying to put things back in or unplugging.  then I have been sick alot also during that time and was in the hospital during that time in May twice and finally they found out it all due to acid reflux.  now I take nexium which has helped alot there. I do not like waiting an hour after taking it but that is what you are suppose to do when taking it.  I am a breakfast eater and waiting that hour kills it for me.  lol.  But at least I can eat normally again.  I am still crafting cards and layouts.  I have some new ones if I can get them up. plus I also got my new hearing aides and boy hearing everything that I was misssing is like WOW, all I say everything is too loud which is what I was missing.  I also received some other stuff that will help me get around also. like one of those canes for the blind. it will me see the steps and the near and far.  I can read books from my TV set with  some help also.  some stronger magnifers.  well, that is all that has happened so far.
