My year started out with a few things I would rather forget! In February I dislocated my hip while getting into a shuttle van at the car dealer! My husband and I dropped our truck off for some work. We were getting a ride home from their shuttle service. When I put my foot on the running board of the van my body when one direction and my leg went another! My husband said he heard a noise and thought I tore my pants. I said no that was my hip! I would have been better off with torn pants. LOL The driver kept trying to make small talk with me all the way to our house. All I could think of is when I try to get out of the van is my leg going to be dangling! I ended up with a bruise the size of a melon. And if that wasn't enough in March stupid me decided to move a very large TV from my guest room out to my garage and ended up in misery with a pinched sciatic nerve. Believe it or not that pain was worse than my hip coming out of it's socket! :)
In April I got the brilliant idea of starting a blog! I don't quite remember what motivated me but I am so glad something did! I have enjoyed this more than I could have imagined. Meeting all of you and following your blogs has been so rewarding. I LOVE seeing your homes and all your very talented posts.
In June we went to beautiful Lake Tahoe to watch our twin granddaughters play softball. We had a great time.
On August 3rd we celebrated our sweet little Sophie's 15th birthday!
In August Mike and I went to Atlantic City for the first time. YES, YES it was to see Barry!

November 2nd we celebrated the San Francisco Giants winning their first World Series!
I learned how to make mosaics to share on Mosaic Mondays! I remember being so nervous to share my first one but you all were so kind with your comments I came back again!
I loved participating in Tea Cup Tuesday. It was fun to share my collection but even more fun to see all of yours!
Joining Pink Saturday was so much fun! I met so many lovely ladies who share the same LOVE for pink!
I imagine if I stay out of shuttle vans and don't try to move any heavy furniture 2011 should start out much better! Wishing you a very Happy New Year! Thanks for sharing 2010 with me!
Tonight is also the 42nd anniversary of our first date!
A big thank you to Beverly at How Sweet the Sound for hosting Pink Saturday!

Happy New Year Denise Sweetie...
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful stroll down memory lane. I love looking back at where we have traveled over the year. Sounds as though a couple of your views weren't to good, the hip and the sciatic nerve, you could do without. Of course all the Barry shows were wonderful. I have never gone to a live concert, it's on my Bucket List.
Here is wishing you and your family the BEST New Year's ever sweet one. I can't wait to blog through 2011 with you. It has been such a joy. Many hugs and much love, Sherry
Oh Denise, so many pretty photos of family, friends and places. I loved this walk with you down memory lane. Happy Pink Saturday and I would love to wish you and yours a very Happy New Year, Char
ReplyDeleteHi Denise, isn't blogland marvelous!! I've met so many wonderful women and men through blogland! I can relate to your injury although mine was my left leg 4 years ago, 2 surgeries ago I can finally put weight on my leg. It's been a rough road, but a good one. I get to be home with my daughter now and I'm loving every minute of it. Have a wonderfully Happy New Year!
ReplyDeleteHugs, LisaKay
Denise,
ReplyDeleteOMG!!
I am so sorry about your hip but when you mentioned that your hubby said he thought you tore your pants, I roared!!! That would be something that mine would say. I am so glad that you started your blog!! Mine will soon ne a year old also and what a wonderful year it has been, hasn't it??
Happy PS and Happy New Year!!
Hugs,
Debbie
You better stick to blogging. I do not think you can get hut doing that. It might make your bottom bigger tho. Sounds like even with all the mishaps, you had a fairly decent 2010.
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful stroll down memory lane, thank you for sharing it with us! I agree, no more shuttle vans and heavy objects of any kind! Whooo that hip injury sounds unbelievably painfully! Happy New Year and Prayers for many blessings!
