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

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!!!

What's up with me, Sentence Game, fun typing test...

I have decided to put the Weekly Sentence on hold until after Christmas. People seem to be busy for the holidays and less are playing, so I think this is a good idea. I am busier, as well. I am hoping to mail Christmas cards out this year. I haven't in a few years. I also want to make some gifts, as my funds are low, and I want to do some holiday visiting. I will pick up the game in the beginning of the new year.

I have an MRI scheduled on the 17th for my cervical spine and an appointment scheduled with my new neurosurgeon on the 22nd. I am glad I got squeezed in before Christmas. That is what is new with me. How is everyone else doing?

I found this fun speed-typing test over at Sara's. Want to give it a try? Click on the graphic and give it a go. Let me know how you did!

Typing Test

I will check in again soon. Take good care, Val =)

Weekly Sentence #37 Winner, etc...

Happy Sunday to all of my pals out there! Sorry I am not posting a lot lately. I have had a couple of health problems that are slowing me down. I am hoping that in the new year my posting consistency will be much better. I know it will! In fact, I will make it a New Year's resolution! Right now, there is so much going on. I did get an appointment to see my neurosurgeon on December 22. I was having breathing problems unless I was wearing my cervical collar. I was wondering if this had to do with my Chiari. I can't imagine anything else, but I'm not a doctor. I'll let you all know what happens. I know I should be putting these updates in separate posts instead of in my Weekly Sentence postings. Like I said, in the new year, I vow to be better. Now on to the Weekly Sentence winner!...

Winner of Weekly Sentence, etc.

Good afternoon, my friends. It has been cold and rainy in my area the last few days. It is finally feeling like late fall or early winter to me. I don't mind cold so much, but I don't like wind and rain. It seems to go down to my bones. LOL Oh my, I just got a tsunami warning in my email box for Indonesia after a 7.5-magnitude earthquake just struck there. Let us hope and pray that there is no more damage or destruction. I get alerts in my email box.

So I popped on my computer to announce the winner of "Weekly Sentence with Val" #35. Wow, we have played for 35 weeks! I am really enjoying bringing you guys this game! I will be back later today or tomorrow morning with six new letters. Remember, there is a new submission day - Friday. So you guys have an extra 24 hours to get your sentences in!

Good morning! How are you today? I'm okay. My pain isn't as bad as it was over the weekend, so that is a good thing. I am going to the local neurosurgeon's office tomorrow to sign releases to allow him to send for my records. I hope my other doctors cooperate quickly. I haven't had the best cooperation with Johns Hopkins. My surgeon was fabulous, but the staff has been poor.

I wanted to let you all know something that I have been doing every morning that is very dear to my heart. If you are a person of prayer and concerned about this country, you may want to join with me. I have hope for this country. I do!! I know that we have a good God that is always in control. We have to cooperate, though. I receive a prayer each morning in my email box with a verse. I would like you to join with me and others who are praying! It is called...

77 Days of Prayer for Our New President

There is a link on the right hand side to click so you can sign up and receive the prayer daily as well as one to press so you can send this to your friends. Thanks so much!! Prayer is the best gift we can give our new President and will bring so much more hope to this country.

I decided to permanently change the submission date of the Weekly Sentence Game from Thursday at 4PM EDT to Friday at 4PM. You all will have an extra day to get your sentences in!! Neat!! If you haven't gotten your sentence in this week, the letters are PRSDNT. Submit your sentence here. Have a good rest of the week, my friends... Hugs xox

Hi you! Hey, did you vote? I hope so! It is going to be an interesting TV-viewing night tonight. I will be at the edge of my seat, no doubt. Oh, I am a bit scared =:o!

I have been dragging out the Weekly Sentence game a bit as we are all still trying to find one another's journals. I will announce the winner here in a moment and give you the six new letters tomorrow morning. I will give you all a few extra days this week, too, and then perhaps it will get back to its normal day and routine. We'll see. For now, if you know anyone who used to play, let them know where I am located, if you please... I have lost a few players along the way =(.
