Valetnines Day swap and a crazy life

. I know I am bad about posting lately. It has been crazy here. Last week I was in the hospital for surgery on my shoulder. They had to shave some bones down that were pressing on muscles and nerves. I was there for three days and during that time the family was sick. I have been home resting this past week and it has been quiet but painful. I don't like taking to many pain pills but I am coping.
 Next week we are heading out on a trip I won to go see the US Ski Team compete in the World Alpine Ski Championships and then to Berlin for a couple of days. I will try to take pictures and post them up!!

Also, I am involved in a Valentine's Day swap with my friend Tamara,  from http://memorybeandesigns.blogspot.com/. We don't know who has each other. We are supposed to get a little box and send it off by tomorrow. Of course I did!! I just love the person who I got and enjoyed shopping for her. I sent a heart of candy and a very nice German glass. Over here we don't have a lot of valentines stuff so I did the best I could. I hope she enjoys it. When I get mine I will post what I got and thank whoever it is. I love mail and even sent out some snail mail to a few people!! YAY me, well I am going to go lay on the couch and let the family take care of me.
