My Year In Review

1. Hubby skied until the 12th of January, then the Orthopedic Surgeon stopped him until after both of his knees were replaced.
2. February 19th my beloved Shubi passed away. I still miss that sweet dog!
3. In March, Hubby had the first of his knee surgeries. This one included a great deal of bone grafting.
4. April was a quieter month. Mostly we spent it getting the trees ready for the spring, and Hubby ready for his next surgery.
5. At the end of May Hubby had his right knee replaced. The surgery went well and he seemed to bounce back quickly.
6. The care and upkeep of my garden and the fruit trees not only kept me busy, but truly delighted me.
7. Summer, oh summer, how I loved thee! Sunshine, growing fruit and vegetables and actually enjoying the fruits of my labor!
8. My eye surgery came along in August. I was so nervous about it’s outcome, but needless to say, I am really thankful that the operation was a success and my vision was restored.
9. Greta was presented to the German judge, and received the highest score. I was so happy!
10. Greta finally got lucky and got together with her boyfriend, Bernie. Yes, the pitter patter of little feet will soon be heard in our home!
11. It seems that November was a birthday celebration month. Although my birthday was on the 17th, I had a surprise party on the 4th, birthday presents that came in all month long and another birthday party with my daughter, Hubby and cousin on my birthday! Yay, birthdays!!!
12. I’ve had the fun of watching my slender Greta getting bigger and bigger as the puppies grow inside.
13. Another 7 to 10 days and the pups will be here!

  1. Oh, I did not know that Shubi passed this year, I am so sorry. My brother lost his schnauzer, Frazier, this past year. I was with Frazier the morning of the day he passed away. I knew I saw something different in his eyes, I knew something was wrong. It was very sad, he was a part of my family.
    Things can change so much in 12 months! Did you even imagine that you would be a “Grandma” in about 7 more days? I hope Greta sails through these last days without too much indigestion, doggy heartburn or little puppy “ninja” kicks…I bet those little baby kicks freak her out!
    Great TT13, mine’s up too.

  2. Hi Mom,
    Wow, only 7-10 more days. And I saw on your calendar that today is Greta’s pre-natal appt. I hope everything goes well, and can’t wait to hear! I’ll put my thinking cap on for some good A names….

    Love you,
    Mandy

  3. Wow busy year when you look back on it. Lots of medical stuff happening for you!

    I didn’t know that Shubi passed away just this year. It was before I started blogging so I didn’t know you then. I’m sorry.

    It is great that you have sweet little Miss Greta and her puppies as a distraction for you now.

    Happy Thursday!
