A New Day

[Maddysgram 6,159]

Carole, prayers for traveling mercies.

Dawn, don't work to hard. Rest that neck and back. Listen to your cmom.lol

Di, Don't be yourself up. I agree with both Carole and Dawn.

Stress is just as exhausting as pain.

Talk with your hub and explain what your going through. Tell him you need him to be your soft spot to fall upon.

Minimi, So proud of you!!!!

Dee, Continued thoughts and prayers.

Terri, Was thrilled when I got a quilting pattern for new baby quilt, in the middle of the night.lol

Loving my Janome, makes quilting so much easier. It was well worth the price.

Can't believe you do not use the knee lift.....

Ange & Evan came by and took me to dinner.Ange said she broke 140 lbs. Her normal weight is between 115 and 120. She looks good.

Busy today, cleaned out closet in family room, felt good to accomplish something. Even if we don't move, we need to pair down and get rid of some crap. took 8 boxes to storage so that makes more room for all involved. One day, just maybe one day I can get my room finished. Every time I get it half way straight we move someone Else's crap in my room and there it goes. The bath room currently is not usable due to all my husbands clothes hanging on the shower rod. We cleaned out the spare closet and there you go, room a mess a gain. So I cleaned the closet in the family room out and made room for all his suits and coats.

We went and looked at a few places today, it was depressing. We looked at a house in the country, built in the 1940's it was perfect as far as space and size. All the bedrooms were 14 x 14, there was a fire place in every room of the house, not functioning to burn wood but electric or gas. Stone fire places floor to ceiling. And the ceilings were about 11 ft. Wow. Formal dining room, 4 bedrooms, 2 full baths, laundry room, pantry big kitchen. Bathrooms had been upgraded, kitchen, was awful, looked like it belonged in the 1960's. I loved the hallway, it was 8ft, room for book cases a couch or chairs and a reading light or table. I asked if I could paint the walls, original white wide molding and trim but the walls scream for color. The yard was Hugh, the front porch was aw some and a deck off the kitchen. We will probably turn it down because the outside storage was not adequate for Paul, the Garage was detached and very small and the half basement was damp. Disappointing to say the least especially for 1200 month.

Good part of the day, my son grilled a London Broil, sautéed peppers and onions, roasted fingerling potato's and so we had grilled fajitas and potato's. It was yummy!

well gotta finish laundry and get ready for tomorrow. Hope everyone had a great weekend and has a great week.

Dee hope Charlie is stable, sending you lots of love and prayers. Cyber hug!(((())))))

Good Evening all,

Just a fast hi bye...just about all set to leave, but this evening I found out that a dear friend of mine from work years ago has been diagnosed with breast cancer. She will have a 12 hour surgery, double mastectomy, and begin reconstructive surgery this coming week. She is 45, no family history, a routine mammogram.

Another way to keep my thoughts centered on gratitude for health, and prayers for her recovery. Never take anything or any one for granted.

Dawn, have you been to a consultation with an orthopedist? Perhaps a second opinion would have additional treatment insights to share? I scares me that your treatments are causing so much additional pain. And adjusting to the empty nest is not easy. I'm so glad that you and Brad have so much to look forward to as a couple and a blended family.

Ange gaining weight...how wonderful!!

Terri, glad there was no flooding by you.

Dee, continuing prayers for you and your family...

Diane, Janet has a good insight into assisting your hubby to get on board to assist you rather than antagonize you...

Michelle, have a great week and keep up the great job...

I'll be here as I am able. Depends on wifi access. Iffy for Brent's house, should be good at Jay's...

I am thankful for, appreciate and love each of you...please stay current on your mammograms...

Sweet dreams...

Hello all! So glad ange is doing well Charlie is stable.

Yesterday ran the 10k Wharf to Wharf in Santa Cruz with my family. Then took the event bus back to a random parking lot 2 1/2 mile from our parking lot so we hoofed it back to the car. Had lunch and then played in the beach. Well actually the kids played Antonio and I took a nap! Did it ever feel good!

The race was fun because 15,000 runners through this seaside town, 40+ bands playing music along the way and some locals out with Water hoses spraying at the crowd.

It was so nice having such less weight to carry along the 6.28 miles!

Hi all,

Currently in Columnia SC. We can tell we are in not in the mountains any more.

Seth called us awhile ago. Regarding care packages to military, he said the USO were the people to contact. Seth said what the soldiers crave most is anything to get them cleaned up. Shampoo, conditioner, soap, baby wipes.

Makes me sad to learn about this. I'm going to begin to send more to troops in the field.

More later...

Back...

Seth let us know he had been traveling to the various aid stations via helicopter, after the fact. He knows how I worry about him. He will be doing this on a regular basis. He says he's learning a lot.

One month down, 11 to go...

Hope everyone is having a good Monday...

Good to hear from everyone! Dee texted me that Charlie needed only one stent and they should be home on Wednesday. She also said thanks to you all for the prayers and support!

[Maddysgram 6,159]

Checking in late...

Yes, got the txt from Dee, so glad Charlie got to the ER before it was too late. Continued prayers for a quick recovery.

Minimi, You go girl!!!!! You're going to be skinny mini before long. Sounds like fun was had by all.

Carole, wherever you are, thanks for the info on what to send to the troops. Continue prayers for Seth's safe return. I love helicopter flying....

Dawn, Hope you're mgetting some relief with your body, before Brad comes to town.

Di, Like I told Angela, when she was thinking of selling her house and buying a new one, "if it was meant to be, it will be easy". Sold her house the first day on market and found her new one within that same week. Prayers with you!Dee, Great big cyber hugs for you dear!
