May 17, 2013 brought my family some devastating news. Sudden illness has brought together a family I thought couln't possibly get any closer. My loving husband of 36 years has been diagnosed with Stage IV Liver Cancer. As recently as Christmas all was going pretty well with his liver issues, then he started experiencing some pain that would come and go. It took a few weeks of convincing before he finally called the Dr.s office. Sadly, the Doctor delivered the diagnosis . . . 3 to 6 months. Please, keep my husband and our family in your thoughts and prayers. We are making the most of each and every minute of every day! . . . . . I am married and mother of three wonderful children, G-Ma (Grandma) to seven beautiful grandchildren. I work full time at a nearby grocer as the Pricing Coordinator. In my spare time, I craft and blog. Crochet is my obsession, my compulsion. My best friend, my therapist. I also have learned I love to knit! Who knew??? I may never be a master knitter, but I am a happy knitter. :D I finally decided in March of 2011 to try my hand at selling my crafty work on Etsy (www.etsy.com/shop/gmaellen) and . . . it takes a lot of focus and determination. And time. During the fall and winter months, (actually on into spring as well) I take part in an organized women's pool league in my area. I have been playing pool on the league for about 35 years. For the past several years my lovely and talented daughter has been playing on my team as well. This makes me very happy. My husband and sons play on the men's league as well so we are a pool playin' family! The family that plays together, stays together! Work, family, pool and crafting and blogging. Pretty much takes up every waking minute of every day, but besides that I love movies and music (which I can enjoy while I am crafting!). And here I thought I didn't have a life! Thank you so much for taking the time to visit my blog. I appreciate every click. :D
