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

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!!!

Sentence Game #37, etc...

Good morning, good morning! I hope you had a good Thanksgiving! I didn't post the Sentence Game last week because it was a holiday week and I was always having a health problem. Thank you for understanding =). I am doing a little better, but have to figure out what is going on with me. It is a neck problem. I'm wearing a cervical collar. I'm getting an MRI done, probably this week, and then I am hoping I can take this collar off. Enough about me. On with the Sentence Game!

Before I give you the six letters, I would like to once more congratulate Dannelle of Odes to the Odd pt. deux. Congrats again, Dannelle!

Hi guys! Thanks for all of your get-well wishes =)... I'm feeling lots better. I slept ALOT. I had a very peaceful birthday. It was nice, not too exciting, but nice and calm. I like calmness. LOL I am hopping on here to give you all six new letters and then I am getting back in bed to make sure I kill this virus for good. A flu bug can linger in my body for weeks. I don't want that to happen :-o !!

Weekly Sentence reminder, gadgets, notes...

Hi you =)!! How are you this nice Fall afternoon? I'm hanging in there. I wanted to let you all know that if you still intend to play the Sentence Game this week (letters: TREATS) I am extending the deadline until tomorrow at 4PM EDT because I posted it a day late, and well, people are just getting settled in and locating the game. If you know anyone who enjoys wordplay or who played the game in the past send them my way! I do appreciate it!

I've been having fun checking out widgets and gadgets, etc. for my sidebar. I'm disappointed, though, that we aren't able to add them one by one and re-arrange them as easily as we were able to in AOL. You take the good with the bad, I suppose. I am still feeling a bit lost. I guess it takes me longer than most folks. Like I said, I am a gal who likes routine and predictability. If you see anything you like on my blog and are interested in having it, let me know and I will help you locate it. I really like the Neocounter. It is fun and was so very easy to install! I have a few causes that are dear to my heart on my sidebar if you can check them out. Most are click sites and only take a couple of minutes out of your day and can do a world of good. Thanks =)!!

Oh, good news, Krissy and John migrated their blogs!! They had a tough few weeks... I am sure they would love to hear from you guys!!

On a final note, I would like to wish my sister, Therese, and brother, Carl, HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!! Their birthdays are two days apart this week. Someone else special has a birthday this week... I wonder who it is??? Lots of birthdays in my family!! Have a good day, everyone!! Hugs, Val =)

Weekly Sentence #33, what's up...

Good morning and happy Monday! I haven't posted in awhile, a real post. I was thrown for the biggest loop with the blog migrations. I don't like change. I really don't. I am a gal who likes routine. I can handle change, though, but it takes me awhile. I think I am okay now. LOL Things have been kind of crazy in my family. My mom is doing better since her surgery. It was a tough road for her, but she is getting better since her surgery. If you haven't been following my blog, my mom fractured her neck and had surgery - not easy for a lady in her 70's. John, my sister Krissy's husband, is doing quite a bit better, too. He is still away at Hershey. He had chicken pox and pneumonia and a couple of other problems. I will allow Krissy to fill you in on that when she returns. She sends her love to everyone. She is very stir crazy and is sad that she hasn't been able to blog in a couple of weeks. She hasn't even been able to migrate her journal.

I am going to start the Sentence Game fresh this morning. Since the migration, I don't think it would be fair to judge the last group of letters I gave you guys. There are a number of bloggers I haven't been able to locate yet. I wanted to ask a few things of you all before I post the letters because we are a bit scattered about...

- Please leave your first name, or a nickname you go
by, and...
- Please leave a URL to your MAIN blog. Many of you
have several blogs and if you want to be linked I want
to be able to link you back to the blog that you choose.

I thought a Halloween theme would be fun this week! Do you guys like themed games? I never really got an answer to this question. Let me know! Now on to the rules and the letters! If you have never read the rules, or haven't in a long time, please do!
