Trying Again
Computers are funny. You can enter information ten or twenty times and achieve no result. Then, there is that miraculous time that you do something, you probably can't remember exactly what it was but, whatever you did worked and you got the result you were looking for.

2 Projects Today or, Was That 3?
Gosh. I have been so busy with trying to wrap up the summer projects around the home that I feel as though I have created a huge mess that is going to require me to dedicate a week or two to complete.
Assuming you read my last blog, you will understand why I would list teething biscuits as a major achievement. It's been over twenty years since I had babies that were teething and though I recall giving my children zweiback to munch on during that miserable time, I am not inclined to make it from scratch now.
I was thrilled that my granddaughter thoroughly enjoyed the Nosh Baby Munchable Teethers. Though they aren't a product of the USA, it was worth it to see a smile on that precious face.
My other big accomplishment had very little to do with me. The Clarke's Heavenly Blue morning glory that I planted early in the summer finally bloomed. It's beautiful!

I needed to kick Cat Prince off of the construction job today and he wasn't so thrilled. Normally, he helps with everything but, this job wasn't safe for him. You can see his disgusted look on his face.
Remember, safety first! That's not 3 project but, it is a little progress.
I hope you all have a wonderful week!
Taking My Own Advice
I have been partially out of service since October 21, 2017 when I became a grandmother. After nine months, I told my daughter that she needed to think about getting her life back on track. I think the grandmother should do that too so, 9 months and four days later I'm taking steps to get my life back on track.
My becoming a grandmother should not have been a dramatic time but, my daughter experienced HELLP Syndrome after having experienced severe Preeclampsia and my granddaughter was born through emergency C-section at 28 weeks, weighing two pounds. Some physical problems only affect the mother, while others may affect both the mother and baby. In my daughter's case, both came way too close to death.
Twenty years ago we referred to Preeclampsia as severe Toxemia. I believe differences in terminology used between generations caused my daughter's medical problem to be overlooked and ignored. That's neither here nor there because both mom and baby are healthy and were able to celebrate achieving 9 months together on earth.
From the grandmother's perspective, this scared the hoopies out of me! From the mom's perspective, experiencing HELLP syndrome commonly causes PTSD and having multiple doctor's appointments for both mom and baby sure doesn't make teething any easier.
The causes of preeclampsia and eclampia are not clearly understood. Symptoms include severe headaches, vision problems, heartburn, pain just below the ribs, nausea or vomiting, excessive weight gain, swelling of the the feet, ankles, face and hands and feeling very unwell. Whether you are male or female, a little knowledge may save a life.
There's a reason that I have been out of sorts but, I'm trying to get back on track.

My Thoughts about NoKo
Yesterday morning I watched as President Trump met with Kim Jong Un. I guess I stayed awake to see the meeting live on television out of respect for my dad who had served in the military during the Korean Conflict.
I watched footage of the summit meeting time and again throughout the day. I listened to the criticism and listened to the praise not really knowing how to feel about the historic event that had occurred.
Finally, I recalled talking with my dad about why that crazy conflict happened. To him it was simple, the people of North Korea had never known a different way of life. Praying for North Korea and may God bless America.
