Winner of Sentence Game #38!...

Happy day, everyone! I have been sluggish with the snow that has been falling and the cold
winter air. I just want to be in my bed. How about you? I think I am ready for Spring already.
Oh my. I think we have a little bit of time yet to go. I guess I have been stuck in bed too much
with the flu so I am ready to go outside and see some sunshine. It's not going to happen. LOL.

Sentence Game #38 letters, etc...

Good morning, my dear readers! Thanks for your comments on my precious grandsons.
They are growing up so fast. I talk to them on the phone a couple times a week.
Jonah squeals and giggles, and says a word or two, but doesn't reallly understand me.
He knows my voice, though. Josiah and I can now have conversations. I love it!!
I can hear the excitement in his voice! I hold on to Josiah's messages on the answering
machine just so I can hear his little voice. "Gammmmeeee, pick up the pone!" LOL It warms
and aches my heart. I guess that's part of being a grandma. I'm feeling quite a bit better
from my cold. I just have a little bit still in my chest. A few more days and I will be as
good as new.

I have six new letters for "Weekly Sentence with Val". Thanks for being patient with me
while I went on a break. If you would like to be on an email alert for the Sentence
Game postings, please let me know in the comments section or by email. I put the
letters in the email. You can send me your submission back by email, too, so it might
be easier for you.

Now on to the letters! They will follow the rules posted below. If you have never read
the rules, or haven't in a long time, please do. Also, please note that the submission
date has changed from Thursday to Friday 4PM. This week I am making the submission

This Week's Letters:

EGOTAC

I will talk to you all soon and take care! Val =)

An update, pics of my grandbabies!...

I really needed the small break I took from posting here. I caught a stomach bug right before Christmas and then a head cold right after, that I am still fighting. So I have been sick for a few weeks. When I get sick, it tends to linger. I had a nice Christmas and New Year's Eve. They were quiet and calm. I like quiet and calm.

I saw my new neurosurgeon a couple of weeks ago. He said it looks like I need another Chiari decompression surgery (translation... brain surgery). He said there is no rush. I need to have two more MRIs and have to visit the ophthalmologist before I return to have another talk with him. I really like this neurosurgeon. He did my mom's neck/spine surgery when she had a fracture a few month's back. The surgery went beautifully. Mom's doing well! He also does Chiari surgery. I will explain what Chiari Malformation is again really soon. I know I have some readers who are scratching their heads. I see my neurosurgeon again on Feb. 17. I don't think the surgery will be until Spring or even Summer. I will certainly keep you all updated.

I will be posting six new letters for the "Weekly Sentence Game with Val" tomorrow morning! If anyone wants to be on an email alert list for this game (I put the letters in the email), just let me know in the comments section.

Lastly, I have some new pictures of my grandbabies. These were taken over the holidays. Josiah turned two in August. He is walking and talking and is potty trained. Jonah turned one in September. He is walking and saying a few words here and there. I haven't seen them in six months. Oh how I miss them. Grammy loves you, my boys!!!
