This past year has been a nightmare! My allergies are out of control and if that isn't bad enough, I now have a hypo thyroid. I have been so tired for the last year that it is hard to walk at times and I cannot stay awake. And it took me six months to convince a doctor that I am not mental!!! And if that isn't bad enough the doctor treating me will not treat me because I will not let him give me iodine for a test because I am so allergic to iodine that I shut down instantly when given it!! But he won't even listen to my sllergist specialist when he has told him the same thing! So his opinion is if I don't do what he wants, he won't do anything! I am so tired of fighting doctors!!!<br />
But I refuse to let this get me down!!!!! I am going to start making the most of what time I am awake. Just please say a prayer for me that I can find someone who is willing to help me and work around my allergies to do so. <br />
Now that being said, I am adding new fall items in my Etsy shop. And withing the next two weeks I will be listing more so stop over and check out my fall items and see what you think. And I promise that I won't be a stranger on my blog anymore! <br />

I am so sorry that I left my blog in limbo but this has been the worst summer I have had in years!<br />
I woke up in March and couldn't breathe. I called my doctor and even though he wasn't suppose to work that day, the nurse was so scared by by inability to talk that he met me there that afternoon. Well by the time I got there my blood pressure was out the roof because I wasn't getting enough oxygen to my heart. (And I don't even have high blood pressure.) That was the first time I ever saw him panic! Britt tried to help me out but I wasn't able to stay on top of things. <br />
Then in July my back went out and because the State of Tenn has decided to control all pain meds so that drug addicts can't get them, no one can get them unless you go to a pain clinic and stand in line with the drug addicts!GRRRRR! And if they think this is going to stop drug addicts from getting drugs they are stupid!!! The only people who are suffering are the people who really need help for a short period of time! So I was either in bed or in a hot tub of water for almost two months until it stopped hurting!<br />
And then in Aug. I woke up and couldn't breathe again (RAGWEED). So I have been on steroids most of the summer, breathing treatments and anti-biotics! It has been all I can do to try to keep ahead a little. But that is still no excuse.<br />
So to make up to the ladies who left comments on my Challenge/Giveaway, I am going to send each of you a Lil' Crow of your choice. So Heather, Barb, Danice and Vicky go to my Etsy shop on the right side and look at the Lil' Crows and then email me and tell me which you want. I have them made so all I have to do is add the accessories for the ones you choose. The only one that is not in my Etsy Shop is the Valentine Lil' Crow and I will add a picture of that one. <br />
I hope you all forgive me and try to undertand my situation. Now that it's cold I can breathe! I LOVE Winter!!LOL<br />

Most of you who have followed me know my sidekick, Brittany(Bree), my niece. For those of you who don't she helps me with just about eveerything (except gardening) and she does all my computer fixing when I mess it up.LOl Here is a post on Britt if you would like an update on why she doesn't help me with gardening. ROFLMBO!!<br />
<a href="http://strollthroughmyflowergarden.blogspot.com/">http://strollthroughmyflowergarden.blogspot.com/</a><br />
<br />
We have all heard old women making comparisons with their old sayings when they are explaining something. Well Bree is wanting answers to some of these old wives sayings. So she has asked me to have a fun challenge/giveaway to get some answers.<br />
So here are the questions. <br />
Who is Dick and why is his hatband so tight? <br />
Who is Kootie Brown and why does he stay drunk?<br />
<br />
Now for the fun. Starting July 1st until July 15th everyone can leave comments on what you believe is the answer. Bree is going to go through these answers and pick out what she believes is the 10 best. Then we are going to let everyone vote on what they think is the best of those ten from July 16th to July 31st. I will have the crows in the mail on Aug. 1st to the winners. That person will win this Lil' Grandma Crow's Old Timey Sayings Crow. I LOVE this Lil' Crow!!<br />
But to give everyone a chance I am going to take the rest of the people who leave comments and give away another crow! So everyone has a chance to win. <br />
If you don't know who Kootie Brown and Dick are, that's ok. Just leave a comment on what you think.LOL And if you have any more sayings we would love to hear them! I can't wait to see what everyone comes up with!<br />
The rules are simple. All you have to do is be a follower of my blog. New followers are always welcome. If you would like to share the fun on your blog or pinterest, facebook, etc. feel free to do so. I want this to be a fun challenge/giveaway. And remember Bree is in charge of the challenge/giveaway, I am just providing the free gifts. <br />
So put your thinking caps on and give here some answers! yorkie's primitiveshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05766223587232060287noreply@blogger.com9tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4109124867552992397.post-78390713131273471002013-06-10T17:46:00.003-07:002013-06-10T19:04:25.318-07:00An Old Farmhouse Gathering Americana ChallengeThe OFG Team is having an Americana Challenge on Etsy.

I hope your day is filled with love and happiness! And I have new listings in my Etsy shop.<br />
When I made the liquid soap dispensers, I fell in love with it. But I wanted a toothbrush holder and cup dispenser to match and couldn't find the right rusty rings to match. Well I found them and I now have the toothbrush holder and the disposable cup holder to blend in with the soap dispenser listed in my Etsy shop.<br />

I was outside the other day while Jacob was feeding Jeeter and all of a sudden Jeeter jumped up and put his paws on Jacob's shoulder and buried his head in his neck to give him a hug! I think this picture says it all.<br />

Isn't this the sweetest thing you have ever seen?<br />
<br />
And then there is our dog, Pepper. Chester got Pepper when she was 6 months old. She had been abused and would not let us touch her for about a year. And now you can't separate the two of them! As soon as he comes out the door Pepper jumps up and runs to him. <br />

And she is the most loyal member in our church! LOL We attend church behind our house and she follows him every service. Much to everyone's dismay she doesn't let anyone touch her because of her fear of people. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
But while church is going on she lays beside Chester's car and about every 15 minutes she gets up and walks around the church parking lot to make sure every thing is ok and then goes and lays back down beside his car. You can't ask for a better watch dog than Pepper. And here she goes...</div>

And now for the funny surprise. I won a basket from Rose on Baskets by Rose blog! Well a package came the week before Christmas. But my hubby's computer had crashed and he bought a new one. Well the package came wrapped in an HP box and I thought it was part of his puter. On Christmas Eve he informs me that this is my box! Well I thought it was too big for my basket by Rose but OH MY GOSH it was the basket and it is AWESOME!!!!! So I got an early Christmas present on Christmas Eve.LOL<br />

I am sorry it took me so long to post about my treasures but I am battling an asthma attack that the doctor's can't seem to fix so I am slow at everything. But I really did enjoy my Christmas surprises!!yorkie's primitiveshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05766223587232060287noreply@blogger.com7tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4109124867552992397.post-41570109315844162192012-12-22T20:26:00.001-08:002012-12-22T20:26:34.766-08:00Do You Believe In Santa?When I was in my 30's, I started playing the fiddle. Well the fiddle I had wasn't working any more so I told Chester I needed a new on and my fiddle teacher said it would cost around $2,000.00! Well he told me to dream on so I told him Santa would bring me one. Well he laughed and told me to dream on.<div>
Then the week after Christmas a man came into the office where we worked with a fiddle. It had a beautiful tone and he only wanted $150.00 so I told Chester I wanted it and he bought it. When the man left I told him, "I told you Santa would bring me one. I just had to be patient"LOL He told me that he didn't see Santa's signature on that check and I told him that no but Santa brought it so he could pay for it.LOLOLOL</div>
<div>
Well my fiddle teacher told me the fiddle was worth about $2,500.00 and it was a great buy.</div>
<div>
Then my grandson Daniel was born and he had a fascination and belief in Santa that I have never seen in a child. His eyes would just sparkle. And then he started school and the kids made fun on him and told him there was no Santa. So Daniel asked me if I believed in Santa and I told him yes. Well if I believed so did he!</div>
<div>
He went home and told his Mom that he knew there was a Santa because Gram believed in him. She called me and chewed me out telling me that I said I would never lie to my grandkids. Well I told her I didn't lie. Then she goes on to say that I don't really believe there is a REAL Santa and I told her yes I do, he brought me a fiddle!!! She just told me that I had to grow up. Yeah right, as if that is going to happen!!!!!</div>
<div>
So do you believe in Santa?</div>

How do you get the sentences and paragraghs to separate on this stupid new blogger???
I have tried everything and it still just goes on and on and on like the Energizer Bunny!Lol
Now I would like to share my adult Christmas tradition.
As I told you we celebrated Christmas Eve and then just went to Grandma's on Christmas Day. Well then I got married! Yikes I didn't know there was any other way until my darling hubby informed me that we were not celebrating Christmas on Christmas Eve!!!
Well I was flabbergasted but he finally won out in the end.
And by this time my grandparents were too old to go on Christmas Eve so we would go there first to celebrate with them, then go to my inlaws and celebrate with them and then to my Mom's and have the ham and tea and open gifts with her and my brothers.
Then on Christmas morning my kids would come down and find what Santa had left them. And my Mom would come over and see what they got. So it worked out really well.
Since my Mom passed everyone comes to my house. Instead of ham sandwiches, everyone brings a side dish and dessert and we have supper. My brother and my nieces and nephews come too so we have a good time. Then when they go home to celebrate with their other families, we open presents with our kids and grandkids. They get sooo excited to see what they are going to get. Then we just sit around and talk and snack until they have to go home.
On Christmas Day we get up early and go see what our grandkids got from Santa and then they go to their other families for dinner. But they come by afterwards and snack and we have a good time.
I don't really think it matters when you celebrate Christmas as long as it is with family or friends with lots of love to share and memories to make. Christmas is all about honoring Christ's birth and the love he gave and still gives us with his sacrifice. So I hope everyone in blogger land has a very Happy and Blessed Christmas and gets to share it in your special way with your family and friends!!!
MERRY CHRISTMAS EVERYONE!!!!
Tomorrow I'll tell you a funny about Christmas.yorkie's primitiveshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05766223587232060287noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4109124867552992397.post-76788036261326306392012-12-20T00:18:00.001-08:002012-12-20T00:18:21.567-08:00Childhood Christmas TraditionMy Dad died when I was five so that Christmas my Mom's parents and sister spent Christmas with us. Well this became a Christmas tradition at our home.
Every year my Uncle Leonard would pick up my Grandma and Papa and bring them to our house for Christmas Eve. We always ate ham sandwiches and drank tea.
My Mom was raising five kids by herself but she always managed to buy the one thing we wanted for Christmas. My Aunt Grace always bought us a coloring book and crayons. My youngest brother and I would lay and color for hours. And around ten they would go home.
One year it started snowing around 3 p.m. and I was horrified that they wouldn't come for Christmas because my Papa wouldn't get out. Mom tried to tell me we would still have Christmas but I just couldn't imaging Christmas Eve without my Grandma and Papa, Uncle Leonard and Aunt Grace! I watched that door for hours in sheer panic!LOl
And then around 6 in pulled my Uncle Leonard and I was literally jumping for joy as he helped my Papa and Grandma out of the car and walked them to the house!! And when I told him I didn't think he would come, he just hugged me and told me he would never disappoint me! He was the closest thing I had to a Dad.
On Christmas Day we spent it with my Grandma and Papa eating at their house and having fun with the entire family. Their house was small so you just found a place to sit and ate out of your lap. But I wouldn't take anything for the love we shared every Christmas.
How did you spend your Christmas when you were growing up?
Tomorrow I will share Christmas tradition as an adult.

I have been married 44 years to a wonderful husband that I love more today than the day I married him.
We have raised two girls and have been rewarded with 6 grandchildren, 5 boys and 1 girl.
Just like any marriage we have had a few bumpy times but the ride was well worth the end. So today I celebrate the love that we have built over 44 years!

Sometimes we take for granted all the blessing that God bestows upon us. So I hope everyone takes the time to give thanks and praise to God tomorrow for our nation being one of the most prosperous nations in the world. I know that we have our problems but we are still the best country in the world!
I also hope everyone takes the time to say a prayer for all our soldiers that cannot be with their families tomorrow and their families for having and empty chair at the table. It is hard for families throughout the year when their loved ones are away from home serving our country but it is especially difficult during the holidays. And I want to personally thank our soldiers and their families for the sacrifices they make so that I can be safe and free! God Bless You ALL!!!!
HAPPY THANKSGIVING EVERYONE!!!!!yorkie's primitiveshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05766223587232060287noreply@blogger.com2
