How Brandon Has Changed

The above photograph is of Brandon when he was younger. I'm not sure how old he was.. It was his school photo and it turned out great. Brandon isn't real photogenic. He does okay if you don't make him smile, but a forced smile comes out terrible.

Today, Brandon got his photo taken again. This is what he looks like.
He had just had his hair cut because it is so thick he can't stand it in the summer. He told the girl he wanted it cut to 1/8 inch. He really has changed in those two years. When he looked at it, he said, "I guess I should have shaved." LOL He dislikes shaving and leaves it as long as he dare or until his parents nag him about it. Typical teen. However, it only grows under his chin so far and very little on his actual face.

It's amazing the difference in the two photos, but I have to concede he's now a young man and is maturing quickly. I'm sure some of you who've seen pictures of Brandon over the years will be amazed at how he's changed.

It's Been a While...

It's been a while since I posted anything here and just want to let everyone know we're doing well. The grandsons are coming today to help do some yard work to get ready for planting time here in southern Ontario. I'm hoping to put a garden in but not sure what I'm planting. I did buy tomato plants the other day. We always plant tomatoes. Maybe some green peppers, beans and potatoes? I really wanted to plant sweet corn, but there are too many raccoons around here to do that.

In other news, hubby's cortisone shot really relieved the pain in his hip. He's doing great now and back to normal. I still haven't received the results from my heart monitor, so guess all is well. I'm hoping that the dr would have phoned if something was wrong. I'm still having palpitations every once in while. Guess my heart just feels like dancing.

Brandon and Jordan were sick all last week with allergies. It's that time of year. They finally got back to school on Friday.

Not much more news here. It was very warm yesterday, over 80 F., but today is considerably cooler, which makes me happy. The heat and I don't mix.

Hoping to have something more interesting to blog about soon.

What's Been Happening

Hubby got his cortisone shot on Thursday and it worked. That is great news because he'd suffered with pain in the right hip for a couple of years. His leg is slightly stiff but at least not painful.

Monday morning I had a heart monitor put on by my cardiologist. It has to be worn for 24 hours and I go back this morning to have it taken off. It is small enough that I didn't realize it was there most of the time. Maybe now we'll find out what's going on with the heart palpitations.

It snowed here off and on all day yesterday. Nothing that accumulated but it was cold, wet and very windy. Not my favorite weather. I had to put my winter coat on. Hope it warms up soon.

I see Blogger has been making changes again. Not sure I like this new feature.

In other news the boys, my daughter and Mom are all well.

It's been a while since I blogged. Things have been crazy around here. First of all I had some problems with my heart. The palpitations were driving me crazy. My heart was doing the Twist or some other dance. Went to the doctor and hopefully that's all taken care of. A med change seemed to help. I have to have a monitor for 24 hours. It will be put on next week and then we will know for sure.
In other news, hubby has had a very painful hip for a couple of years now. I mentioned it to the doctor when we were there and she (a fill in doctor) is giving him a shot of cortisone this morning at 9am.
Everything else is going fine. The boys are doing well at school and Mom's coping.
I will try to get online and visit everyone as soon as I can.
