The Girls Getting Old!

Good morning to you all. Will it has been over a week and a half now and this old gal is still hobbling around on a cane. I started a week and a half ago coming down with ache and pain in the left hip and buttocks and right down into the knee, my first thought was "don't tell me something happen to my hip replacement." This I have to admit does scare me...last thing I want is to have to have something done to one of my hip replacement. Will come Monday morning I got myself ready and went over to Togus to Urgent Care. I have had such the two times I have gone out to Urgent Care. Will anyway, they seen me for X-rays which I only waited approximately 10 minutes, this was so unusual because that department is always so busy. Will back to UC to wait my turn go back in to see the PA. Yes, I am waiting........still waiting. Watching ER. Still waiting. ER is pretty good one I have never seen. Fully in grossed in ER with approximately 10 minutes left of the show and I hear "Mrs. Bilodeau" dam! I am going to miss the ending. I would like to know how many times this happens to me....................can not count them on my hands and feet, honestly. Anyway, I went in and the male nurse said Mr. Elliot will be right with you, I said thank you very much. I had the hardest time getting comfortable in those chairs....awful! Mr. Elliot came in and said will I looked at your X-rays and everything looks find. I called up to Orthopedics's and your Doctor wants to see you but he is booked until late September so they will call you in the morning with an appointment. I said okay. Will the next day came and went and no phone call. Benefit of the doubt.......I called the following day and the desk girl said the nurse will have to call you back.......here we go! Will don't you know my phone rang in less than 5 minutes and it was the nurse. She said Dr. Morton wants to see you but he does not have an opening until September 8Th.................but he did look at your X-rays and it is not your hip replacement it is your spinal disease but he wants to examine you. I must tell you I am so very please to say I am glad it is not my hip replacement; I have been though allot with these. I do have them checked once a year and I just had it done in February. I thought it was January but it was February of 2008 and all is well. So, all I can say is this old lady is going to have to take it easy for awhile and use her cane and wait for the appointment. Going to be 50 in January so I guess I am gradually working up to that old milestone....hehehe!
Thank you for listening to my adventure trip to Urgent Care.....it really was not bad but I hated missing the last of ER.

Weekend...............

What a beautiful weekend we had. We had company that came up from Brunswick and Dougie came over as well, we put the boat in the water first thing Sunday and headed out on the lake. You truly could not have asked for a better day on the water that is for sure. We toured all down the side of East Winthrop into Manchester and up the Pond Road into Litchfield and than crossed over into Longfellow's Cove and that would be where we live; once we came out of the cove we decided to take them down and show them where the Woolworth Estate is which has now been sold to some one from out of state. Woolworth Estate was owned by the people that owned all the Woolworth stores. I know some of your out there remember these stores, they were all over at one time, just like the Ben Franklin's 5 and dime stores. I use to love those like stores with the little whole in the wall dinners in them. Well I got off track. Anyway, we finalize our boat ride and than came back to the house and had baked potatoes on the grill and grilled chicken and steak with Cole slaw and for dessert chocolate hazelnut cake. Paul loves this cake, I picked it up last weekend at Mister Market when we had Bill and Kim over and he could not get enough of it, so I got another one for this weekend. So after the meal was complete we all sat around and chatted and just enjoyed the company. The guys decided they would get out the golf cart and do some riding around up and down the lake and the camp road and finally they decided to go and pull out the boat so off they went all 4 of them. Kim and I stayed home with the dogs.

My Girls!

Will here are my favorite girls. I just love this picture, they are all so precious to me. I am an Aunt and a Great Aunt. This is my sister Nancy's daughter.........Crystal and her little girls, Kelci and Addison. These two girls love to wear dresses and little shoes with heels can you believe it! all ready with the heels. When I go home to visit I stay with Crystal, Pete and the girls and they play dress up for me and I am telling you it is too die for, I get the biggest kick out of it and than they model as well for me, of course I have to take pictures and post them on my blog for you all too see, that is a given. Can you tell I am a very proud Aunt?

Family Photo...........

This is the first time we have ever had a photo taken all together like this. We have done them in the past at Family Reunion's but this was special as you can see. This was taken as well at the Holiday Inn in Waterville during our stay there while attending Matthew's wedding. I just can not say enough of a wonderful time I had with my family during our stay. It is not that offend that we are all together at the same time, so these times we tend to cherish. Funny when you get older you don't see your siblings that offend and when you do you have allot of catching up to do, or at least I do.

My Siblings.........

Will here we all are and I must say it has been a very long time since we all have had a picture taken together. This was taken at the Holiday Inn at Waterville where we all meant and stayed for Matthews wedding and what a nice time we had together. You know we don't get together very offend but when we do we have an awesome time catching up and having allot of laughs and talking about way back when...............and I must say it was way back when, the youngest is 43 and the oldest is 54 and I am somewhere right in between there............hehehe! Gotta love that!

The Girls!

Oh, my little girls came for a visit..............and I must say I did have a ball with them. They loved the pool and they did so awesome both of them. They wanted floaties on there arms and noodles and Addie went from the stairs over to the ladder while her mother was helping Kelci than of course when she realize what she had done you thought she was out at sea with the bloody scream she let out, Crystal swam over and bought her back. Kelci is the one with the princess crown on and Addie is the serious one. Crystal and I took the girls shopping and than we took them too Friendly's for lunch and they truly enjoyed this. I really can not tell you how much of a great time I did have with my niece Crystal and her daughters, they kept us both busy, of course I am thankful Addie still has a nap so I could get a little one in myself.......yes, I need it as well, not getting any younger and they proof that for sure. That 50 mark is coming faster than I want it too..........hehehe! Anyway I have to say I love my girls, all 3 of them..

Got to Share!

If a picture could say or show a thousand of things this one does. Is he just not adorable? This is my nephew Todd's little boy Evan he is 7 months old and on occasion I get to baby sit. Will I have to tell you I took care of my little friend last week and he is crawling and pulling himself up and has a tooth out and more coming and he is such a ball of fun. He always has a smile and loves Chester and Sadie but of course Sadie keeps here distance and Chester, he loves Evan, gives him a big ole' dog kiss, of course little Evan is just the right size to meet him right in the face looking up that long nose and pulling on them long ears. I have to keep a close watch on them two. Will as I said I had to share......he is too cute not too.

Le Festival de la Bastille

What a wonderful weekend we had. Paul's brother and wife were here from Florida for the Le Festival de la Bastille. We all went on Friday night for the opening ceremonies and firer works and I must say I have not seen firer works in many years and these were the most beautiful ones totally awesome. We all went again on Sunday for Mass at 10 am and than stayed for a big Chicken Barbecue with all the fixings and oh my goodness what a plate. I have to say I did not eat chicken I had to have my usual Crepes with maple syrup and a piece of meat pie and that was just outstanding. While we ate we was entertained with music and cloggers/tappers. There was this one young lady 13 years old that came down from Ft. Kent and what a voice she had, she sang just like Celine Dion I kid you not it was totally amazing. Here is her picture. Her name is Melanie Dorice Saucier and what a performance even her Dad got up and sang a couple of songs with her and he as well has a wonderful voice. It was a wonderful afternoon. The time came that we had to bid our farewell's to Roland and Marie as they were headed out to Boothbay for a couple of days than back too Portland to fly out on Wednesday morning. Will as I said in the beginning it was a wonderful weekend had by all.
