But I actually have improved my bone density from doing this (weight bearing exercise) and no longer take meds for my bones! Hurray!</span></em></div>

I have been remiss in posting on this blog due to illness and just plain busi-ness! I have 5 blogs at present as you can see in my sidebar. This is my original blog and my hubby was alive then thus "TWO HAPPY" was created with love. My Bill has been gone 4 years now and I moved back to my home in Auburn NY after 28 yrs. in South Carolina. I would like to thank all my faithful followers through the years on this site, you blessed me with your visits and comments. I will be discontinuing this blog soon but please leave a message in the meantime ~ I would love hearing from you all! I moved my refrigerator a few days ago and gave myself a hernia! Rest and alternating ice and heat per ER doc so a perfect opportunity while recuperating to bring my other blogs up to date. Meantime, I have been working in the garden as Spring has finally arrived and even planted 2 grapevines. Life is good, God is good.</span></i></span><br />

<span style="color: blue; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><i>Hi there my dear friends! Sorry that I have not been posting but I fell down my cellar stairs backwards when letting the dog out the back door. Long story but I sustained a concussion and bleeding in my brain after hitting a large pipe on the ceiling of the cellar when I was falling. I crawled up the steps unable to focus my eyes and vomiting and from my medical training, knew I was in big trouble. Bleeding profusely, I walked next door holding a kitchen towel on my head and my neighbor took me to the ER. I had 8 Staples in my wound that was cut to the bone and then transported to Upstate Medical Ctr. with the brain injury not knowing if I would have to have surgery. After 2 more CT scans there of my head, it was determined that the bleeding in my brain had stopped and that it would dissipate of its own accord.</i></span><br />
<span style="color: blue; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><i><br /></i></span>
<span style="color: blue; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><i>No one could believe I did not lose consciousness and walked next door for help. I know that God was with me from the moment I fell and that because my neighbor and I prayed holding hands that I did not have to have surgery. I could have broken my neck or bled to death. God does answer prayers and you would not believe the blessings that have come to me because of that fall.</i></span><br />

Saturday, there were ice fishermen on the lake in tents and portable enclosures.</i></span><br />

<em><span style="color: blue; font-family: Georgia; font-size: large;">This is the creche that I had sewn many years ago.

<em><span style="color: blue; font-family: Georgia; font-size: large;"> It was a face I had been drawing since my childhood. I made the beard longer and stylized in my drawing and then my hubby cut the wood out using the Intarsia method of cutting all the pieces out, then beveling the edges. Then they were glued onto a back board one by one until they were Santa again. He is hanging on the dining room wall and measures approx. 8" x 13".</span></em><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">AUBURN | President Barack Obama visited a site in Auburn on Friday, but it was not the historic Seward House Museum or Harriet Tubman Home.</span></div>
<div style="border: 0px; color: #222222; font-family: inherit; line-height: 22px; margin-bottom: 15px; padding: 0px;">
<span style="font-size: large;">At 8 a.m, a smaller presidential motorcade escorted Obama to the Auburn YMCA on William Street. According to White House press pool reports, the president was looking to get a quick workout in this morning prior to resuming his two-day trip in upstate New York and Pennsylvania.</span></div>
<div style="border: 0px; color: #222222; font-family: inherit; line-height: 22px; margin-bottom: 15px; padding: 0px;">
<span style="font-size: large;">The president worked out alongside Y members and chatted with several of them during his time inside the building, which was heavily guarded.</span></div>
<div style="border: 0px; color: #222222; font-family: inherit; line-height: 22px; margin-bottom: 15px; padding: 0px;">
<span style="font-size: large;">He returned to the hotel about 55 minutes later, and an hour after that, the full motorcade -- including the Ground Force One tour bus -- departed up North Street and turned left onto Genesee Street toward Skaneateles.</span></div>
<div style="border: 0px; color: #222222; font-family: inherit; line-height: 22px; margin-bottom: 15px; padding: 0px;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="border: 0px; line-height: 22px; margin-bottom: 15px; padding: 0px;">
<span style="color: blue; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">Yes, I voted for him but I guess it was more important to work out at the YMCA than to visit these historic sites. As my children and grandchildren would say, "Whatever!" Ha! It was still exciting and many people turned out just to get a peek at the President in his bus.</span></div>
<div style="border: 0px; line-height: 22px; margin-bottom: 15px; padding: 0px;">
<span style="color: blue; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: large;">On an other note, I am happily settling into my new Auburn home, loving the weather and love friends and family dropping in! My new over/under washer dryer was delivered today and will get it hooked up over the weekend as I need 220 wiring. :) My new electric range will be delivered tomorrow, I am so excited! Thanks for stopping and do come again.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><i><span style="color: blue;">Had to share with all my followers and I will be starting a new chapter in my life. Loved my home here in SC and have lived in the area for 24 years but without my beloved Bill, it just wasn't the same. I know he would be happy for my move back to our hometown. :) Below is a photo of me in 2nd grade when I was chosen to put the wreath on Seward's statue, an annual event. My home town is the home of William H. Seward Secretary of State under Lincoln, and Harriet Tubman. It is very historical and quaint and I love it.</span></i></span><br />
