Rainy Sunday and My Pain Continues

Hello and Happy Sunday. What an angel he is, Kenso the King. I have told you about my grandson Kenso before but jic you are new he is Crystal's baby boy. He is so precious I love him so much. Crystal gives me updates and happenings regularly. He just turned one you can see his party here http://creationsbydawn.blogspot.com/2026/03/kenso-is-one-fast-one-party.html

Always a happy baby. Miss him so much. They live in El Paso. I have gone there once. I enjoyed my visit. http://creationsbydawn.blogspot.com/2023/08/my-week-in-el-paso.html there wasn't much in that post but I do have more stuff to share I can get that done soon. 

Crystal and Skylar are always taking him to play. He enjoys it so much. He even loves riding in the wagon at daycare. He is so sweet and loving. 

Yesterday Cody and the boys came over yesterday’s post. Bruce and I made them dinner. Burgers and buns. Amelia brought over a broccoli salad which was so delicious. She also brought a gluten free dessert we won’t talk about that. Haha guilty little pleasures. Peanut butter and chocolate my weakness. Everyone really enjoyed the buns. 

Yesterday Alexis had her Easter celebration with her family and she made cornbread. It turned out beautifully. That was one of the Lodge pans I had got her and Amelia for Christmas a few years back. Good to see it in use. Love that! 

Brooksie Bear helped me with my plants now isn’t that the cutest. 

Go Brooksie Bear 

They love coming over to watch tv we watched tractors. 

Skybear and Kenso on the playground. 

Look at that beautiful smile. One happy little guy!! Love you Kenso. 

This past weekend Jr ended up in the hospital. He has knee pain and the swelling just continued to increase. He couldn’t walk on it and still he is struggling with it. No apparent reasons or anything. Nothing bite him or no reason at all. Kim and Jr were going out to eat and ended up in the ER. That wasn’t the date they had planned for. 
When Jr was 10 this same thing happened to him he got cellulitis of the knee. No reasons then either! He was in the Children’s Hospital for five days on IV antibiotics. During that time we drove back and forth to see him. It was hard because I had four other children at the same time and only one car. My mom was still living in the area then, Jr will be 40 this year and my mom has been in Florida forever it seems. So my mom knew Norfolk well so she took us out to eat while we were there visiting Jr. My aunt Jan (Sissy) was there too. 

 

Then today Samantha was feeling ill and nausea so they took her to the hospital as she had got a Zofran for the nausea and started having heart palpitations. So Kim had to take her to the emergency room. They found out her iron level was so low she had to have an emergency blood transfusion. They then wanted to airlift her to another hospital but Kim said no they would wait for the ambulance to come. So now this is all just coming about so I know no more. Just please pray and send all the healing vibes for Samantha. She’s one of our oldest granddaughters. I am sending all the healing vibes your way and positive energy to you sweet Samantha. I love you!!! ❤️ 

We all got your back Samantha! Prayers, love, vibes and all the energy for you for a speedy recovery. Sending love your way! The Dino is adorable btw. ✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨☮️☮️☮️☮️☮️☮️☮️☮️☮️

Today I worked on my mushrooms as I was a little behind not being able to do anything else with the family and being in this crazy pains. I have done something now to my piriformis muscle. I know right…. As if! I have been doing all the PT for it. It’s really painful. Bruce moved the heating pad to my chair to help. While I was in all the pain I wrote this poem….   See below ⬇️ 

I wrote a poem today for one of my art pages 

Trees, trees, trees—I stand among them, feeling the power of their hearts and the energy of their souls. The wind blows gently as leaves whisper words of gratitude to me. Gaia creates a grounding of positive forces that can't be fully explained with words of wisdom, since one only knows what is felt. The freedom, the spirits, and feelings of love flow through my veins. Mushrooms gather magically. For I belong in the forest. Written by Dawn Gallop April 12, 2026

Happy Saturday Hello Spring 🌱Twins Hop Hop

Hello and Happy Saturday. Today was the most glorious spring day we have had in such a long time. Wink 😉 perhaps last spring. You get the point. It was a slight breeze, my son Cody and his family came and so did Dusty’s girlfriend Jazz. It was lovely. We missed Garrett and Alexis as they had a family gathering today as well. They had originally planned to come here. We were at 60 degrees Fahrenheit. As you can see the sun was shining bright and not a cloud in sight. 

They got their haircut last night and did so good they got little tractors at the store. They are continuing to grow their vocabulary beyond what I can remember my children did at two. Its amazing. 

Two peas in a pod 🫛 

Hop hop how high can you hop? 

Look at them go. I have always loved black and white and sepia photographs and to this day I still appreciate them. 

They are really hopping high (jumping) I was telling them hop hop like a bunny. 

The light would catch their ears and hands and would have the most intense neon pink. 

They just amaze me and are so helpful and inquisitive. 

We fixed them peanut butter and jelly sandwiches and they ate them up. Loook at Baker he’s like really savoring his bite. Haha 😂 I love them so much. Sissy came later with mom. Bruce and I cooked a meal for them. Homemade buns and hamburgers that I call my “Bobs” burgers like from the show. I just add things in I’ve freeze dried and cheese etc. they are always moist and delicious. It was so cute the boys had their own burgers but when mom got hers they helped mom eat hers. They would point to the bites they wanted to eat. Being the buns that I made. I use my bread machines to make them. It’s so easy and fast. I have gotten where I can barely walk and stand up so it’s short bursts to get things done. Bruce really has to come in to do the work. It’s sad. 😔 . My aunt on my dad’s side made a bad fall yesterday and broke her hip. So she is in need of some good vibes and healing messages. Her name is Grace so please send a message to the universe! Here is to healing energy and love Aunt Grace. Take care. Sending love and hugs. Good vibes everyone!!!

Safari🐯🦁🐘 Niagara Canada 🇨🇦

Hello and warm welcome to the Safari Park of Niagara Falls Canada. Like I have said so many times when Kim plans a trip she plans a trip. This safari trip was spectacular. 

They were so excited and enthusiastic about the safari trip. 

We certainly enjoyed every minute of it. While we there Canada was on a liquor strike and no liquor was being sold in the country. Jr and Big Bruce enjoyed different beers. The safari park sold like a wine cooler type drink that was gluten free and Jr had bought me one. It was good like a raspberry. I wanted more but they were quite expensive. 

Everyone was excited to get In the park. 

We were ready with our hats on. 

The Alpine goats were so happy to see us Kim had bought some little food for them. They sold at the park. 

Just look at the sky and the temperatures were amazing. 

Dusty got in. 

Haha we sure liked taking our pictures on these pigs. 🐷 haha 

There is the family of the year. Clarissa you make me laugh all the time. Too cute. 

Yep I was tired needed to sit. Just leave me alone and I will wait for you guys. 

Someone decided to join me. 

Then they went like climbing on this maze thing and it was really a challenge but so enjoyable. We watched from below. 

Today I had two zoom classes which was so much fun. Alexis and her family are coming over tomorrow. Cody as well. It’s exciting. I will share the updates but the video will also go with tomorrow's post as well. Bruce vacuumed up today and moved some stuff around. It’s beginning to look like spring. Woohoo! 🥳 the plants are growing and since you can finally walk around I saw spring in the iris’s and the chives. Today is day 79 of the 100 days project. I will see you guys tomorrow. Much love and good vibes for a wonderful weekend. 

All my love and hugs to you, 

Dawn Gallop 

P.S. did you know that today was 100 days of posting the blog every day for 100 days.
