There is 23.6 million people in the United States that have diabetes.My question is how many who reads my blog have type 2 diabetes? I found out 4 years ago that I did, I think it sucks.I did loose alot of weight, that's good because I was very over weight. I went on a low carbohydrate, low sugar diet with snacks in between meals. I lost the weight slowly, now I'm one of those people who reads

I have been busy catching up on my knitting. I have so many patterns I wanted to knit, that now is a good time to do them. Also I found out a few weeks ago that my youngest son is going to be a DADDY for the first time. He is on cloud 9. They have been wanting a baby for a while. So now I am looking for patterns for the new baby, which is going to hard since they don't want to know the sex of the

Its been sometime since I wrote in my blog. The last week in October and all of November has been very stressful for me. First my oldest son was in a fire, his camper trailer blew up with him inside. He turned on the burners on his cook stove to heat the camper, went out and came back in closed the door then saw the flames from the stove go all the way across the camper, then heard a sucking

I went to my cousin last night for a party she had for the kids. They brought their own pumpkins to carve, after everyone ate, they started to carve their pumpkins. It was fun watching them, they had some very interesting pumpkins when they got done. I got to see a few before I had to leave, these old bones don't like the cool weather. Now, what have I been knitting, not very much. I got alot of
