Wow, so much has happened since my last post! And a new look too

The first thing I need to do is make a heartfelt apology,
to all of you who have been faithful and read my every post,
and to those who have just started. Please forgive me for my
absence.
I do kind of have a good reason...
I got the crud that was going around here, and an earache.
Right as I was getting over that... I used DG oven cleaner,
like someone suggested for a paint stripper, and did it in my
basement, no windows open... and well, I forgot... I breathed!!
Well, not a good thing to do! I had to go to doc, and in the
meantime... I lost my voice, coughed ALOT! He gave me
steroids, and antibiotics. Well, for those of you that know me...
I got pneumonia... spent a couple weeks in bed. Finally to get
back on my feet. After a day or two, I was getting my
basement cleaned up... and for some reason... not sure
why, but my right foot started swelling! Went back to doc,
x-ray, cat scan, and specialist later, still don't know what
happened, but on crutches for a week. If not better then
they want an MRI. Do I sound like a walking time bomb???
Let me tell you I sure do feel like it!!!

Because of all of this, I don't have any new things to
show all of you sweet people. So I am posting
a picture of my mailbox.... I am working on it when
I can, between the weather, and health lol. So here
is the before...

will show you all the after, when I get done.
And I will show you MY CLEAN BASEMENT!!!
I got it done!! I built shelves for the wood,
made a work bench out of two doors,
Went through tots, boxes, and stuff. The kids'
stuff is ready for them to come get...
and I am loving my nice clean work space.
Hubby moved an old sewing cabinet down
there for me, and now it is my new paint station.
I can't wait to get back down the stairs and
take some pics to show you!!

I hope you all like the new face lift here too.
I will change the header pic again later. I
have some ideas about a new one. :D

This is my new saying....

cope with the unexpected & smile through the day.
