I got a nice idea from a blog that I read about Christmas cards.. I hung some line around my curtain rod/crutains and used clothes pins to fasten the cards onto the line..
It works much better than a card "wreath".. You can view the whole card.. You can just add more line to other windows if you need more room for other cards :)
For the last 16 years we have put up a 9.5 foot tree.. this year we have a 6 ft. tree...
The coloring in these pictures is really off..(also took in semi-dark room) The camera I usally use quit working..but I have a "feeling" I will be getting a new one for Christmas :) LOL
Anyway-hopefully this idea will be something that may come in handy for you...
I am very happy to say that this replacement Dexcom is working much better than our last one. The last one had a fatal error and we had to send it back..This one has been much more accurate and will actually beep when you set it to. So very thankful for our Dexcom :)
With the unseasonably warm temp's here lately it is good to see some cold, snowy weather...Makes it seem more like Christmas...Time is going by so fast....
Abram with the black bear he killed. The bear had a beautiful hide. He killed it yesterday 12-1-2011* But it was so far back in the woods that they had to go back in this morning to get it the rest of the way out..They left at 6 this morning and did not get back home until 5 this evening..
Abram showing the bear's paw.
Marty(dad) and Abram.. It took 4 hours just to get back into the mountains where the bear was killed.
Abram with Chad(Uncle). This bear was in very
rough terrain!!
Abram with his bear.. The bear was a boar.
He weighed around 400 lbs.
Some of the steep rock faces they had to climb.
More of the rock cliffs that had to be navigated..
Can you say STAMINA? lol They bear
hunt through double digits of miles in a
day from daylight until dark....
We almost never see bg's higher than mid 200's....Well-two bg's in the 300-400 and I knew something was way off.. Sunday, for the first time since starting on the omnipod (in June) I gave Isaac a correction shot-with a new vial of insulin..within an hour or so his bg had came down from low 400's to very low 100's.. I was so VERY thankful!! I also replaced his pod with a new one with fresh insulin... Our insulin still had about 6-7 days left...apparently it had gone bad early. We have never had bad insulin in the 11 months since diagnosis..we live and learn and keep doing the best we can!
Thank you Lord for insulin!!!
I really like the features on our OmniPod PDM.. it will give you any single day blood glucose average- 7,14,30,60,and 90 day bg avg's. The n in parenthesis is the total number of bg checks in that time frame. and the avg. reads per day is listed below that. As of today, Isaac's 90 day bg avg. is 115- I am REALLY happy with this :) This gives us a pretty close estimate of his A1C.(6.7 @ clinic a couple of weeks ago :) )
We have very few days that we are "in range"-our in range numbers are 70-120 with a target bg of 95. I took this picture of one of our in range days.. If he were to be above120-the pdm settings consider this above goal. and of course below 69- would be below goal.
This is a picture of Isaac's last 7 day avg. screen.
We really like the Omnipod. Of course there are many other features that I like...but I will just talk about the bg history screens for today!
Hope you all have a great Thanksgiving :)
Abram supplied the squirrels..lol * He also skinned/cleaned them.
We put the squirrels in a slow cooker with seasoning,carrots,onions and potatoes. Cooked on high for about 4 hours.
We had the stew with biscuits. We have another squirrel left in the freezer...guess I will be making "requested" squirrel gravy one morning this week :)
