Missy is doing fine!

I"m here to give you all an update on Missy's surgery yesterday....although she was in the operating room almost 5 hrs, all went well so much so that she was able to go home this afternoon.  I know she was happy about that cuz that's where she can feel comfort and rest.  Skip is taking very good care of her...I hope to get over after my sale this weekend.  I wanted to add some of the new jewelry I've been making all week...finally found the cord needed to download them.eheheh~~  Yeppie!!!

Please pray for Missy!

It's 1:18 in the morning, and I'm unable to sleep. (Pain pills do that to me if I take them too late) So instead of keeping my dh up I came in the puter room to do some research, and to meditate on my youngest daughter's surgery this morning. Most of you know about her rare muscle disease (one of the 40 followed by Muscular Dystrophy)  Well that muscle disease is attacking her heart.  Her heart rate is down to 30 so her Cardiologist is going to put a Fibulator in  after doing a Heart Cath to make sure there's no blockages.  Missy has always been a private person one who doesn't say much, but I find she has great faith in God.  I'd completely forgotten the time so many years ago when she got up and went forward in a Church we went to in Berryville.  (it really upsets me that I can't remember such important things especially about my children)  She shared with me the other day after I asked her if she was saved, Mom God is and always has been in control of all things in my life...I don't doubt that HE will be with me through yet another trial.  Praise be to God for  HIS peace and grace in our lives. 
So I ask that you please hold her close in your prayers today!!

Good morning!

Isn't it amazing how the days seem to drift by so quickly as you get older?  ehehhe!  We will be taking a little Saturday drive in a little while...it's supposed to be sunny and warm...it's around 40 degrees right now. 
My flower bed which has half perennials and have annuals is looking pretty good because of all the rain we've had here in VA.   I don't have everything I want in my veggie garden yet, but what's there, squash, cucs, tomatoes and peppers are growing strong.  Will get some photos later today, and post them if I can find the cord to my camera...just don't know what I did with it when I changed everything around in my studio.  Yea, that memory is going south!!!
Have a great weekend folks!

A new Computer

I'm sitting here still learning about my new computer.  The 24 inch screen and on plug is all there is to it...everything is in the screen...have lots of USB plugins around this screen...can't believe how easy everything is...wonderful have Windows 7!!!
I haven't had all my old saved documents or photos uploaded from the old tower...but will have them in a couple days.  Hope all you Momma's had a wonderful Mother's Day spending time with family.  We had a quiet one...hubby still getting over the Whooping Cough and dealing with a strained back...he forgets he's not superman!!!
I on the other hand am just down right clumbsy!  Was trying to get a large picture with frame off a shelf her in my studio when one of the pugs bumped up agains't me and caused me to drop it...right on my left foot...ouchy!!  This happened almost 2 wks ago, but didn't have it looked at till seeing Dewey's Dr yesterday....yep it's probably broken, but will not be casted since it happened too long ago...just compression bandage to stablize it.  BIG lump on top of foot and 5 black and blue toes..and around the side too.  Am able to wear flip flops no shoes..Oh well, what can I say, I'm a clutz...
Will be sharing some more jewelry soon, and some photos taken on our last Sat drive~~
Blessings to all of you and be safe if you are traveling on the roads...love ya!

Puter is down!

Good morning my friends...I'm at a friends house using her computer so I could share what's going on...Yep , my puter decided it had enough and took an extending nap.   John, a computer guru at a place where I used to work took a look at, updated it and we thought it would work when I took it home and hooked it up.  NO it didn't.  Was doing the same thing it did before.  The browser wouldn't work.  I am feeling so blessed right now for when I went back to pick up the tower I was told, "you are expecting" and instantly I could visualize myself at the ripe old age of 69 being pregnant...NOT!  Diane, my dear friend when I worked at Access Independence as their bookkeeper and has remained friends after we moved to Cross Junction 5 yrs ago...(she goes to Church where I go)  Anyway she looked at me and said AI was buying a brand new computer for me with a 20inch flat screen monitor, with Windows 7   Well you can imagine how stunned I was, and then the tears started streaming down my face.  She said I sure hope those are tears of Joy!  Indeed they were...it seems she's in charge of "Roll Your Own" every year, (that's where the disabled go up against normals who have been given a wheelchair...and they race.  Money is put in a fund to help disabled persons...I evidentually qualifiy for it thru that!   There are many Centers for Independant Living in and around Virginia, and I'm sure in other states...they are advocates for those who need accessibilities such as wider doorways for wheelchairs, ramps, lifts just all kinds of things...don't forget to check in your area if there is a need for someone you know with disability...I like to say I'm physically challenged...in so many ways.hehehe!!!
Well, gotta finish up all the things I need to do here on my firends computer...and will back online in about a week from my brand new puter!!!!  love you all.

Blessings to a day better than yesterday!

Waking to the chill of cold rain coming down makes one wonder if they should just stay in bed.  Well I don't sleep as well as I should so staying in bed later than 6am makes me much slower throughout the day....I was just reading my sister's advise to me in my last post, and she's so right...feeling the way I do I can't do anything but to take little naps..I don't have the energy to do much else.   I'd taken one of those little naps last evening, and upon waking I walked out into the livingroom to find Dewey scrubbing the floors...he said he didn't want me to feel I had to do it today as it's been almost a week.  Sometimes I wonder if we have little set backs like allergies, and colds just to make us stop and rest!! ( and let hubbys show how much they love us!!!
 
I have been reading through the Message after reading my Bible.

The Way of Love
Love never gives up.
Love cares more for others than for self.
Love doesn't want what it doesn't have.
Love doesn't strut,
Doesn't have a swelled head,
Doesn't force itself on others,
Isn't always "me first,"
Doesn't fly off the handle,
Doesn't keep score of the sins of others,
Doesn't revel when others grovel,
Takes pleasure in the flowering of truth,
Puts up with anything,
Trusts God always,
Always looks for the best,
Never looks back,
But keeps going to the end.
01 Corinthians 013 from the Message.

Well, time to get back to the recliner for a little nap...see Sis I listen well!!!   Love and blessings to all.

The past 3 weeks

Good morning!!
For the last 2 weeks I've been caring for Dewey (my hubby) because he has pneumonia...3 visits to the doctors, yesterday being the most recent.  As I listened to his dr, Ginny, tell him he was still wheezing, but was finally getting better I happened to cough.  She turned to me and said, my goodness lets take a look at you!!   Yep, I also have pneumonia, and was prompty given 4 perscriptions...Prednisone, an inhaler, strong antibiotic, and Tessenex to help with the congestion and wheezing...Wouldn't you know it!!!   Now he has to care for me...it's supposed to rain all weekend so we will be staying in eating some homemake soup....these kinds of illnesses don't affect me the same way they do him. 
I've been up most of the night hurting all over so I finally too 2 pain pills, and came in here to check msgs!   I can't post an photos that I took recently as I've "lost" my camera...now I know it wasn't working as well as it did when I first got it, but I sure need to be able to keep up on the things I create so I can share with you all.   I was going to get one of those old throw away camera....but....I think I will order a new one from fromQVC..they have some good prices on them!!!
I'm hoping that all of you stay clear of this junk we have, it started with all the pollen in the air....sigh!!!
Take care and have a wonderful weekend folks...Miss visiting all your blogs!  This puter is getting old like MOI...hehehe!!!
love ya!

Easter 2012

My day started with putting some meatballs in bbq sauce to slow cook while I went to Church to hear my Preacher give is wonderful account of the meaning of Easter.  As I've said before it's bitter/sweet to read the accounts of what led up to the crucifixion of our precious Christ Jesus!  After Church we left for a party to celebrate the life of one of God's children who's been facing the pain of cancer!  It was good to be with her and her family, hubbies ex-wife, and dear sisters and bros who continue to be an extension of our family!  It was a treat to see everyone and to be in our Host and Hostess' beautiful home again...it's been a year!  I have to tell you a little about Ken and Sherree Ryder...I believe she's the youngest of 5 sisters and one bro.  They  have opened 2 gyms, and are about to open 3 more...Sheree was a body builder, and made a big hit when competing.  Have to say I admire their love for one another and for family!
Here are some photos of their awesome home...and so of the people who joined us for the celebration of Joyce's life.
Dewey and his daughter, Lisa
