Home of Fish Lines, by Lila Fish
December 1, 2007
Oldest grandson, Chris, and his wife, Carrie, and their daughter, Allison, had a bouncing baby boy today.
DECEMBER 19, 2006
Good
Heavens! It's nearly Christmas, and it's been over a month
since I recorded anything here!
But here's a quick
rundown and much condensed version of what has transpired in the
Fish Household:
Thanksgiving has come and gone--Carol
and Bert came, as did Sarah, TJ and Audry (who came early to visit,
but had their dinner with TJ's family,) Chris, Carrie and Allison
were here for dinner, and Carrie's sister, Becka also came.
We had a great time, dinner was good, (Carrie
brought wonderful home made rolls and a jello salad) and I didn't
go near the kitchen after dinner. My 'elves' cleaned up everything!
We immediately froze all the leftover Turkey, dressing and gravy,
which we enjoyed a week later at Family Night, when we had Hot Turkey
Sandwiches and Tater Tots!
Carrie and Sarah came
over with the babies, and baked cookies--(I had baked mine prior
to their coming) and we had our 3rd annual cookie swap. The
house is all decorated, the packages all wrapped and I am now ready
for Christmas!
Shirley and I went to see
The Nutcracker and it was wonderful! Linc dropped us off and picked
us up at the Theater! Linc and I also took Grandson,
David, to have his 4 Wisdom teeth extracted and he spent the day
and night with us. But he had a marvelous and quick recovery, and
virtually no pain. I plied him with home made Split Pea Soup, jello,
pudding, applesauce and ice cream. He had a teriffic appetite!
The followig morning he ate oatmeal and pronounced himself
ready to go back to work ! He even went over to help his cousin,
Sarah, move into her new home! We were so glad that he had
such a seemingly easy time of it!
Rob will be over
for dinner tonight. Last week he took me Christmas Shopping
for Linc. Tonight we will just enjoy the evening. (Although I do
have a few computer problems for his to address!)
And
I guess that brings me up to date. Except I don't think I
can 'publish' this asRob has changed my Web Site or something, and
has to do a little more 'tweaking', I guess. But hopefully,
you will be able to read this soon.
NOVEMBER 05, 2006
It's
nearly Election Day and we are being bombarded with 'ads' from all
the candidates. If you could believe everything you see and
hear on TV, you'd surely believe that all the candidates
were idiots! I will be so-o glad when Election Day is over!
Of course, I have a pretty good idea of for whom I am
going to vote, but I'm still undecided about some of the candidates.
More research, I guess!
Bunco is here next
Monday, and since my feet are so uncooperative, I ordered a lot
of food from The Anderson's. And while we were there, took
a brief tour through their Christmas display which was huge.
But we were there long enough for me to fall in love with
a 3 ft. lighted Snowman. He looks as though he were made of
giant ice cubes! And guess what my darling Linc did- while
I was out to lunch with some friends, he drove to The Anderson's
and bought the Snowman for me!
One of the radio
stations is already playing Christmas carols, non stop, but I refuse
to listen or be caught up in the Christmas thing (except for my
beautiful Snowman, of course!) until after Thanksgiving!
I think it is terrible that other than the grocery stores,
Thanksgiving just does not exist! Just try to buy some Thanksgiving
dishes or figurines, or anything else Thanksgiving related. Halloween
was huge, and now everything is Christmas! I love Christmas.
It is just about my favorite time of the year, but NOT 'TIL
AFTER THANKSGIVING, PLEASE!
Speaking of Thanksgiving,
we are expecting a wonderful crowd and after Monday's Bunco, I will
begin planning for it.
OCTOBER 31, 2006
It's
Halloween, but you'd never know it! The porch light is on,
the porch is decorated, but nary a soul has come Trick or
Treating! Of course, none came last year, but still I was
hoping...
We have just returned from Smith Mountain
Lake, VA., where we spent a few wonderful days. Linc had some
business there with his IRA, and decided rather than do it by phone
or mail we would go there for a few days. We stayed
with Eleanor and Allan, and could not have had nicer hosts. They
told us to go our way and see whomever we wanted. They were
just pleased that we chose to stay with them! They have two
lovely cats who enjoyed sitting on Linc's lap! One of them
sat on my lap for a few minutes before deciding that Linc's lap
was much nicer!
Anyway, we got there on Wednesday
evening and had a lovely dinner with Eleanor and Allan. On Thursday
we met Babe and Larry for lunch and had a wonderful visit with them.
Babe really wanted to visit with us 'one on one' and
so we did! Linc and I drove around afterwards and were amazed
at how businesses and homes at the Lake had grown! We drove
around Lynville on the Lake, where we used to live, and saw a new
sign at the entrance, many new homes and Speed Bumps! Such
progress. Our ex-neighbors, Bill and Shelly, were not home,
so we left a note. Hope they got it!
From
there we stopped in to see Margaret and CO's brand new home. It
is huge, and furnished beautifully. (As was their old home!) They
are still in the process of doing a lot of yard work. I am
glad we live in a Condo and don't have all of that to worry about,
but they seem to enjoy it. Of course, they are more than a
few years younger than we are!
Then at 6 PM we went
to Dot and Richard's for dinner. It was so nice to visit with
them. We used to go out to dinner with them quite often and
of course, played cards with them and Babe and Larry. Gale
and Bob also played with us, but we didn't get to see them as they
were in Florida already.
Friday was Eleanor's day.
We went out to lunch, and then shopping ( all four of us).
It was fun, but then we went back and got Eleanor's car and
she and I really had a great time - just like old times - shopping!!
Friday night was a big dinner at Westlake. There were
13 of us there, and we got to visit with some very good friends
- Patti and Lee, Adele and Jimmy, Pat and Wally, Dave Talbott, Dot
and Richard, and of course, the Wandelts and us. I got pictures
of all the couples, so will have lots of wonderful memories!
OCTOBER 23, 2006
Sometimes
I have a difficult time remembering what has transpired since the
last posting! Mostly, my computer has been 'in the shop' for repairs.
I have been unable to burn CD's, and the only reason I have
a camera is so that I can put the pictures on a CD and use them
in my greeting cards! Of course, now I don't have any pictures
so I won't know for a while whether or not the dumb computer is
really fixed!
We had a great Family night last week,
tho. Carrie's mom, Kate, now is living at Rob's (long
story there!) so was able to come to Family Night. We missed
David, of course, as he has classes on Wednesday nights. However
this week Family night will be on Thursday night, and that means
David will be there, but Carrie will not! We truly do miss
Carrie, but Chris brings Allison, and I hate to say this, but how
we do enjoy Allison! (Sorry Carrie, we love you, too!) Thankfully,
Sarah is always there with Audry! The little girls
are growing up so fast! They are 8 months old now, and when
I look at the pictures of when they were born I am amazed at how
they have grown!
We seem to be doing a lot of shopping
lately - most of my clothes seem to be too big for me. I don't know
why I am losing weight. I need to, and am glad to, but other
than this awful Neuropathy, I don't feel ill at all. Well,
I guess I won't look a gift horse in the mouth! My feet don't
hurt as much if I can keep them down on the floor. However,
I haven't figured out how to do that when in bed! And now,
my fingers 'burn' a lot - I hope this thing doesn't get any worse!
Tomorrow night Rob is coming for dinner, and David might
come as well. Linc will be at his Bowling, and I will cook
for my son and grandson!
OCTOBER 14, 2006
Whoopee!
I feel great this morning! Actually too great, I guess.
I'm still trying to regulate the medications for my Neuropathy,
and guess I overdid it last night. I am trying to balance
out the Lyrica and the Ultram ER. Alone, neither one does
the job of making me pain free, but together, they seem to work
. I must say, I feel no pain, but I am 'high', I think, and
that's not good, really. I will take the Ultram
earlier tonight and see how it goes. But at least I don't
hurt today, and that is wonderful and happens so rarely. I'm
sure I was a little "high" when
we celebrated out 54th
Wedding Anniversary on the 11th and had such a wonderful time!
We went to the Melting Pot for dinner. And
there, on our table, was a dozen roses that Linc had ordered! (and
he had also arranged for our photo to be taken and put in a beautiful
Pewter frame at the conclusion of our dinner!) Dinner
took nearly 3 hours! We started out with appetizers to dip
into the Cheddar Cheese fondue to cook. There
were all kinds of vegetables and bread cubes to be leisurely
cooked and eaten while we laughed like a pair of newly-weds,
instead of the doddering old couple that we are! Next came
a delicious salad, which we ate "as is"-(no cooking necessary.)
All this was followed by a 'Coq au Vin' fondue to be
heated before cooking all of the different kinds of meats: Teriyake
Sirloin, Black Tiger Shrimp,(a half dozen!) Citrus Marinated Pork
Tenderloin, Breast of Chicken, Vegetable Ravioli and two Fillet
Mignons. We simply could not eat the Fillets, so we 'cooked'
them and they were put in a box for us to take home and enjoy the
next day. Anyway,it was all so delicious and took us forever to
cook and eat! Then, on came the dessert fondue! The
fondue pot was filled with a yummy chocolate mixture (including
a liquor of some kind, but which I have forgotten the name of) and
we had lots of time to admire all the goodies to dip while the chocolate
heated up. There were fresh strawberries, cherries, cheesecake,
pineapple,and slices of banana. Yum Yum. And we ate every
bite!
It was such a fun place to eat. Our
waiter, Ryan, was very friendly and attentive. But the nicest
part of all was that George, the owner, kept coming to see how we
were doing. He was so impressed with the fact that we had
been married for 54 years that he chatted with us for quite a while.
He informed us that his Anniversary was the next day, but
he couldn't remember if it was three or four years! He told
us that they had lived together for several years before making
it legal, so he wasn't sure how many of those years he had been
actually married! When we finally got our bill, we saw that
he had 'comped' the $45.00 for the roses (and the vase) and
the picture in the Pewter frame! Such a pleasant surprise
and lovely Anniversary gift. Thank you, George!
In
all, it was a wonderful way for two people to celebrate 54 years
of Marriage. I think back and it's hard to believe that it
has been that many years. I'm sure there must have been rough
spots, but I truly can't remember them! Our two wonderful
children (How great they have both turned out!) and their children
(also sucessful and nice!) are all grown, now, and we
are so lucky to have two great granddaughters to enjoy! Yes,
Linc has had a very serious operation for his back, and more recently
a TIA which was the reason for our return to be near the family.
I have had two operations for cancer- I was told I probably wouldn't
see my 40th birthday! (Guess I showed those doctors!) But
now, in spite of my Neuropathy, I would not trade my life with Linc
for anything. He is simply the nicest, sweetest, easiest to
get along with, best and most wonderful guy in the world!
And on that note, I'll end this today and go fix us
something for lunch!
OCTOBER 10, 2006
Haven't
written much lately. My neuropathy has been really terrible, and
I haven't slept well since we returned from our trip. Went
to the Dr's today, and we had a long conversation. I
had thought that perhaps I should be seeing a neurologist, since
my feet are so bad. But after talking it over, decided to
stay with Dr. Julie. She said, and I agree, that since we
know the reason for my pain, and she keeps up with the disease,
she really can help me just as well as a Neurologist could. (And
she is not as expensive as a Neurologist would be!) At
any rate, she upped my dosage of Lyrica and agreed that on really
bad days I could take the Ultram as well. Actually, I could probably
take them both every day, but I really don't want to. I
have this 'thing' about taking a pill just to be taking it. If
I don't think it is really helping I won't take it! She also
said that since I seem to develop such a resistance to medication,
the Lyrica dosage can be upped again and again. So I guess
I will stay with it for a while, at any rate. Lyrica was developed
just for Neuropathy, so it should help. We shall hope so!!
It's really hard for me to accept that the Neuropathy doesn't
care that I try very hard to watch what I eat, and keep my testing
numbers quite low. Each day I find it harder to cope. Today
was a particularly bad day for me. I really try to go
out and about and live as normal a life as I can, but some days
it is harder than others. And it's no fun that I don't drive
any more- so I am dependent upon others to take me places! Enough!
Enough!
OCTOBER 05, 2006
It's
been a busy week or so! Mostly good, although a few bad days
squeezed in, feetwise. We went to the German Festival on Friday
Night, drank some beer, listened to some nice German Music
while some people danced the Polka. I would have loved to
join them, but sadly, my feet didn't think it was such a good idea!
(Linc was probably much relieved! But I had a delicious potato pancake,
which I haven't tasted in years, while Linc enjoyed some Bratwurst.
There were lots of interesting booths to spend money at, if so inclined.
In all, I thought it was pretty nice.
Then
on Saturday Afternoon we went to an October Fest at Gloria and Tim's
Wine Guild. We judged some red wine, (made and bottled by
some of the members) ate a nice buffet (freshly baked pork) drank
some of Tim's good wine, and won a few prizes. A few brave
souls went out in the rain and stomped some wine! Tim's wine
label (designed and printed by me!) won a blue ribbon so it was
a festive occasion, made doubly so because Tim and Gloria bought
us tickets! And oh, yes, we drank some of the wine that was made
from the grapes stomped last year!
On Sunday we
went to the Italian Festival. It was a beautiful, warm, sunny,
summer-like day, and so the grounds were packed! We
paid $10.00 to park, Linc had to push me several blocks to get there,
where we paid $5.00 each to get in, and there were so many people
that it was difficult to get around. The streets there were
brick, so it was not smooth going in the wheel chair, and poor Linc
did his best to push me around. Between the crowds and the
rough going it really was not a pleasant place for us to be. But
we managed to find a place to sit at a table and ate some good Italian
food,(expensive, I thought), walked around as best we could, and
decided it was not the place for us to be! I'm not sure we
will even try it next year.
On Tuesday,
Linc's 79th birthday, we went on a Bus Trip with the Groveport Seniors
to see the Tall Stacks in Cincinnati. We had a full 2 days!
We arrived in Newport, KY where we had lunch and walked around
for several hours. Then it was back onto the bus and a short
drive to where we boarded a Paddle Boat for a 2 hour cruise
to Coney Island where we boarded the bus again and went to the Starlight
Ballroom for dinner and a show. Then it was back to the Radisson
Motel for the night. It was about 8 o'clock and we were free
to wander around, but too tired to do much. And it's
a good thing we did not plan to join anyone as soon as I got
out of the shower I proceeded to throw up all I had eaten all day!
Needless to say, I didn't feel so hot, and went to bed. We
called room service later as I felt the need to eat something, and
managed to keep down a few pieces of toast and a half glass of OJ.
But when I awoke in the morning, I really did not feel sick,
so boarded the bus again to the Tall Stacks Festival.
This
consisted of acres of land fenced off (don't ask me how!) where
we walked around, looked at all the paddle boats (with their Tall
Stacks convened below on the river. There were booths and more booths,
every place one could look. Food, food, and more food for
sale. Beer, water, soft drinks for sale, every company on
the world had a booth advertising their wares, and of course, things
to buy! Poor Linc had to push me around, and it was so very
sunny, but we had a good time just the same. We bummed around
a lot with Shirley (whom we gave a ride to Groveport and back) and
Rita. But we were all glad to get back on the bus for the
trip back to Groveport, and we arrived home just before the terrible
rains began.
SEPTEMBER 28, 2006
Another
dreary day! Somehow I don't remember late summer and fall
being this dreary! It's hard to be 'up' when the weather is
so very 'down'!
The wedding was lovely even if the
weather didn't cooperate. Fortunately, Joe and Nancy had the
foresight to put up a couple of huge tents, as we hadn't been there
half an hour before it started to pour! It was fun seeing
and talking to all those people. Most of them we didn't know,
but quite a few knew us 'way back when'. 'When' referring
to when we lived near here many, many years ago! It was great
visiting more with Gary and Ida, and also with Joe and Nancy. Fortunately
for us, we knew one of the caterers, and, as we were sitting in a rather
difficult place to get out of, she really took care of the
4 of us, bringing us all kinds of good food!
Nancy's mom is in
her 80's and still looks fabulous!
A good Family
Night, this week, too. Carrie's brother, Cassius came,
and so there were 8 of us. Only David was missing. I
had baked a HUGE meatloaf, and there was barely enough left over
to leave for Rob to make a sandwich. It must have been good.
Both girls were enchanting, as usual! They are
growing like weeds and are such fun to be around!
Carrie's
mom will be staying at Rob's beginning next week as she got the
job she wanted at OSU. She will go home on week-ends until
their home is sold and/or Dave gets a job down here.
I hope that we will get to the Italian Festival sometime
this week-end. I just don't know when that will be. Weather
permitting and all that!
SEPTEMBER 22,
2006
A
dreary day today. But we had a pleasant, although brief, visit
with Gary and Ida who are in town for Chris Gantner's wedding. So
we will see Gary and Ida at the wedding as well as Joe
and Nancy (parents of the groom) whom we rarely get to see. Maybe
we can change that!!
Family night this week consisted
only of Sarah, Rob, Linc and myself. Chris was being honored
at OSU for being employee of the month. Yeah! Chris! I
got to hold and play with Audry. Linc and I went back up to
Rob's last night to help him baby-sit Audry so that Sarah and TJ
could get some shopping done, and have a nice dinner, just the two
of them. Of course I am glad for any excuse to play with my
Great-Grands, so had a lovely visit with Audry! She was 7 months
old yesterday, and Allison will be 7 months old tomorrow! They are
both growing so fast.
Rob called a few minutes
ago and said that he (and therefore, me ) is switching Internet
providers, and there is a possibility that my blog may change as
well. I think we have a few weeks before the change, but I
don't imagine it will affect me that much. We shall see.
Linc just put up the flagpole, so now we can fly our
flag when it is appropriate. And even when it's not and official
Flag Flying Day.
SEPTEMBER 18, 2006
Carol
left this morning. It was so good having her here for a few
days. We had David, Chris, Carrie, Sarah and of course, the
two babies for dinner on Saturday night. It was the first
opportunity that Carol had to see the little ones since they were
tiny. We are so fortunate that they seem to be happy no matter
who holds them, as they sure did get passed around a lot!
I had mentioned to Linc that it wouldn't be long before
we would have to clear off the coffee table, which is really a huge
old A & P butcher block that we cleaned up and put on
big casters many, many years ago--well, Allison discovered it and
can pull herself up holding on to it, and I suspect it won't be
long before she figures how to climb onto it. She sure did
try! Needless to say, we had to clear it off. That old
butcher block holds lots of memories, as every one of our grandchildren
have climbed all over it. It is marvelous as the little ones really
can't hurt it. (And, anyway, who cares if they do?) Audry
is still content to sit and play. Although, when put on her stomach
she seems to be trying to move (backwards, that is!) I've
said it before, and probably will say it many more times, but Great
Grandchildren surely are Great!
On Sunday Carol
took David and some of his friends out to lunch and then took David
shopping. Isn't that what mothers are for? Anyway, David joined
us for dinner again and we had a very pleasant evening. David
is such a big help, and since I am limited in what I can do, he
is truly appreciated!
SEPTEMBER 15, 2006
No matter
how hard I try, I just can't keep up with this Blog! We've
had two Family Nights since I last wrote. It is so nice to
get together with everyone, and especially to see how our little
ones have grown! You wouldn't think a week would make that
much difference, but they are growing by leaps and bounds and each
week marks the beginning of a new phase for them, I think. Just
looking back over the pictures since they were born shows how amazing
their progress has been.
I played Bunco with the Red Hats
Monday night and had fun evern if I didn't win anything. (I
was actually only one place away from winning the Booby Prize! But
Shirley subbed, so at least Linc didn't have to drive me. My turn
to host will be in November, and Linc will take Cathie
and me on a shopping expedition at The Flower Factory one day
next week. Cathie will host the game in October.
Last night we went up to Rob's again, as Chris
and Carrie had asked him to "baby sit". I held and played
with Allison while Rob got some of his computer work done. Allison
is never still an instant-she's a prime example of Perpetual Motion!
She crawls anyplace she
can get to, and when held, she 'crawls' all over the holder! She
loves to be on her feet, and I suspect it won't be long before she
figures out how they work, and I am exhausted today!
Audry
has a tooth coming through! And for a little one who is teething,
she sure was a sweet little girl for us at Family Night! Both
girls have had their 6-months pictures taken, and both girls
are of course, beautiful! (I'm not predjudiced, am I? - But
they really are beautiful.) Audry has the most beautiful, huge,
brown eyes and the long, curly eyelashes to go with them.
Our good news is that Carol is coming in for a few days tomorrow,
so most of the grandchildren and of course, the great-grands,
will be here for dinner. Carol has not seen the babies
for several months. And we don't see nearly enough of Carol.
But fortunately for me, we do see a lot of Rob. He bought
be a beautiful bouquet of flowers last night - for no reason that
I know of, and I am truly enjoying them. So far they have
been safe on the end table next to me as Molly has not noticed
them - or at least has not yet decided to investigate them. Hopefully
I will not have to move them.
SEPTEMBER 3, 2006
David
and AJ came over for dinner last night. AJ is helping David
move into his new apartment, and David wanted to 'reward' him with
my home cooking, I think. Anyway, we had a good dinner and
a pleasant few hours with them. David never stays long, but
we do enjoy seeing him.
Today was a quiet
day though. I was supposed to ride in the CW parade with the
Red Hats, but did not feel well, so sent my supplies over with Shirley.
Linc drove over to help them get the umbrella and picnic table
together. When Shirley came over later to return everything
she said they had a great time! We drank some good wine and
shared some good gossip before she left to go home again.
AUGUST 31.2006
Family
Night has come and gone again! Carrie's mom and stepdad
came. I had fixed a tremendously large meatloaf, just in case,
and it was so good that by the time everyone had eaten their fill
and begged some to take home, we had no leftovers! The baby
girls, as usual, were enchanting! And I got to hold them both.
Allison can get everywhere on her hands and knees, now. Carrie
and Chris will have their hands full, I'm sure! Both girls are getting
baby food, now, and Audry really loves it. Can't say the same
for Allison, tho!
Our David came over to
borrow Linc's truck today, as he has begun his big move to
a new abode. I provided them with lemonade and cookies
which I made to ensure that the move went smoothly. So we
got to see him twice today, which was nice. He and his friend,
AJ are coming for dinner on Sunday. It's hard to believe that
he will be a senior when classes begin in September! How time
flies!!
AUGUST 26 , 2006
Everyone
was able to come to Family Night, where we celebrated TJ's
Birthday. It is always so nice when we all get together-
especially because the mothers of our two adorable girls do not
seem to mind my holding the babies, so all night long I have one
of them on my lap! They can both sit up alone, now, and are
really the happiest little ones I have ever been around. Do
I sound prejudiced? Probably I am to a small degree, but
they are amazing and such fun to be around! I guess I had
forgotten what fun babies are.
This morning we
had to get up extremely early (for me, at least!) as the Carroll,
Ohio parade was today and my Red Hat group had promised to participate.
The people who ran the parade really wanted us to be a part
of it, so provided us with a large "flat-top" to
ride on, and even a shiny new red truck to pull us! We had
already created red umbrellas, etc, for the Pumpkinville Parade
which got rained out last year, so we were ready! It took
us about an hour to put everything together, but we did look nice!
There were 8 of us who participated We had a good
time, and were received very well by the parade watchers!
August 23, 2006
I's
certainly been a while since I posted anything here! Things
are not working quite right on my computer. Rob helped me
last night and I think I have got my Blog back working again.
If you can read this, it is working!
A lot
has happened since I last wrote: We visited Granddaughter
Katie in Salt Lake City and had a really nice time. The mountains
out there are a sight to behold!! Now when we speak
of Katie, we can 'see' her in her home. It was built in the
late 1800's and she and Dave are restoring it in their 'spare' time.
Then we spent a week with Jean and George in their home in
the North Carolina mountains. We used to visit with them at the
lake but we have both moved. Jean and George now live in Florida,
and spend the bulk of their summers in the mountains of NC. It
was so good to see them again. They are the youngest 80+ year
olds that I know. We did a lot of sight-seeing, and of course,
played a lot of "Nickels" in the evenings. We are
hoping that they will come to Ohio next summer!
The Ohio
State Fair was a teriffic 'happening' in Columbus, and of course,
we had to go and see all the sights. Linc got a
break as Rob pushed me in the wheel chair. (I just can't do all
that walking any more.) We had a great
time - spent over 5 hours there, saw most of the sights, including
the Butter Cow and ate some good food!
And last week we went
to the Bratwurst Festival in Bucyrus. We were both a little
disappointed that there was no one place where we could sample all
the Bratwurst made in that town. They say that there are many
different kinds, but we could only eat one sandwich, so were not
able to taste the different kinds of sandwiches offered for sale
at the other booths. However, we enjoyed the sandwich we did
buy and were able to purchase some frozen Bratwurst there to bring
home with us.
The tomatoes we have planted in the
Patio Planter are doing great, and we have actually been enjoying
the crops!
But the most important happening in all
this time is that our two Great Granddaughters are now 6 months
old! We have enjoyed watching them grow, and can proudly say
that they are both beautiful, smart and happy!!
