Hole is patched in my dining room floor. ""put everything back" mode is coming up.

Off shopping with the DD, DGD, DIL for the twins birthday. They are so excited. They are turning 12 and shopping is something they are getting into. Really good kids. They are a great blessing to this Grandma. We are planning to have lunch out and it will probably be a Chinese buffet because the twins get to pick and they like that.

Have a great day, All!

Could you post a picture of the dresses you're making? I want to be able to do this for my dg.d. one day.
I'm in the yellow zone and the thunder storms have already hit, but compared to what we had last year, this is good. Still, prayers all the way around.

Some of the schools are canceled in our area today due to impending weather. We live in part of the "warning zone." This may end up being one of the times they wish they would have had school. Not much going on yet.

DGDers are coming to stay with me while parents are out shopping and have Drs appt. The three of them are great kids. The oldest is just getting over some kind of flu. The youngest is complaining of a sore throat today. That's how the other one started. Planning to make chicken soup for them for lunch.

Still working on Easter dresses.

Have a great day, All!

Before Christmas my ds and I caught the flu bug and we didn't much care for it. We tried throwing it away, but it hung on for two weeks. Nasty thing. I hope it never visits us again.
The past two days it's been unusually warm, but it's getting cold again. There's actually a chance of snow for the next two days.

Back again because I wanted to share . . .

When checking my emails this AM, I saw this newsletter from Dr Ben Kim. He is a naturopathic doctor from Canada. I enjoyed this article so much, I wanted to share it with this team because so many of us are dealing with chronic pain or disease. It is well worth the reading.

Here is the link:

Happy New Year, ALL! I usually like to take the whole month of January to keep focused on this being the New Year.

Will start working with kids in Children's Church soon. DD and I feel we need to instill an understanding in them of our All Powerful God!

Keep focused, Friends! Distractions are all around us.

Have a great day!

I can relate to the crazy delays on the garden. I still haven't put mine in, but in desperation I put some various seeds in three pots I have on the deck. It just seems as though they're taking longer than usual to grow.

The Kingdom Warfare study sounds great! Can you share some of it when you get a chance?

Our plants made it to the garden late. Too wet, tractor break down . . . Oh, well, everything is in now and it was hot yesterday and will be today with possible showers tonight. Bible Study tonight. We are studying Kingdom Warfare. It is interesting.

Have a lovely day, All!

It is knee therapy. It is an older injury that I did not take care of. Now I have to. Just had therapy this AM. At least the exercises and cycling will count toward my exercises.

Barb...

Snowing here this morning. Been cold also.
What kind of Therapy are you doing? Just take your time and whatever you get done, you get done. I know on the baking it is very tempting.

Try to put on a face and do your best.

It has been terribly cold here in PA. We do not have the lights up yet. Only the candy cane string beside the driveway. Just took down my fall wreaths over the weekend. Way behind. Therapy takes up more time than I anticipated. Still have orders to finish and things to sew for kids and grandkids. Don't think I will do much baking this year. Too tempting anyway.

Greetings in the name of our DEAR LORD!!! I am so thankful there is a time for "every season." The advent season is a time to reconnect to the "reason for the season." Hope you all are enjoying this celebration of Hope, Peace, Joy. The kids and my husband got a digital camera for me for my birthday in November. Soon I will be able to post a picture of me -- for better or for worse. Have a great day and a wonderful month!

Good December morning team. Starting 8th day of treatment.
Today I am just another day older and deeper in dept. No big deal. I am alive and still have my health. I just need to work a little harder to fight the weigh gain the pills put on me so I don't go back to the 168 I was just over 1 year ago.
I can do it. I have the Faith and Motivation. The Positive attitude also. I have the Power to do it.

Have a great day everyone.

Morning everyone....
not sure when I fell asleep last night but it was early. Just woke up at 5:00am. It is cold and icy here this morning. Glad I can walk over to the cancer center. I am so glad it is a short week. They say weather should be good Wed when I leave. I will get my appt early so I can get on the road and get home for 3 1/2 days. Everyone have a great day and stay Positive.

Just got back from treatment and seeing the DR. He said NO Steam room but it was OK for the Spa as long as I watch myself as my blood pressure is on the high side right now. I am just a little upset as I was looking forward to going home for a couple of days to be with the hubbie. Now it will be 10 days that I haven't seen him.

I feel somewhat better now that I have had lunch.
Going to get ready to go to the SPA.
Talk to all later.

Well I talked to my Hubbie and we decided that it is not worth me getting into an accident just to come home for 1& 1/2 day. We went on our road map and the road conditions are listed as difficult. I look at some of the road cams and the road has lots of snow / ice, being I go over too high MT over 5,000'. For once in my life I agree with my DH to stay put where the roads are good till next Wed when I go home for Thanksgiving and come back on Sun. I have a PT Cruiser.

This will give me time to regroup as I know if I go home I will want to work at the Motel just to keep busy.

Will talk to all later.

Had a bad day yesterday. Had a bad headache was sick most of the afternoon. Did manage to get some sleep. The DR had given me some pills for sickness so I broke down and took one. This morning I feel some what like a human. Didn't get the amount of walking in that I wanted to.

Being it snowed in McCall yesterday and it is snowing there right now, plus they are saying snow tomorrow I am not sure I will be able to make it home for the weekend. Bummer. I will check with my DH to see how the roads are there. My problem will be going over the last MT on the home stretch. I have my last treatment for the week today. I will have no problem staying down in Boise if I have to. It would be great to see my Hubby.

Will keep everyone up dated.

Afternoon everyone....

Trying to finish up loose ends before I leave on Monday for the week. My emotions are starting to get to me. I try not to cry in front of my DH as he has enough to worrie about here with out me getting him upset. Been trying to keep busy and away from him so he doesn't see the tears.

I know God is going to get me through this, and with my Faith, my stubbornness and my Motivation things will all turn out OK.

Everyone keeps telling me I am going to be real sick with the treatment.I try not to think about that. This is why that want someone with me. I told them that there is no one around here that can take the time off to be with me. This is why that have me staying close to the hospital where if anything happens I am right there.

I have a lot of Veggies and fruits frozen in serving sizes so I can keep on track. I also made Chile and put it in serving size and frozen it. Boy does the seal a meal come in handy. I freeze what I want and then put it in the bags. I will pack everything in ice just before I leave so it makes it down there.
They have a (nutrientest)spelt wrong that will help me on other meals so I get the proper protein and other things.

I Praise The Lord For All He Does For Me.


Well I will try to get back on later to do my posting.

I feel good today. My DH jut won't let me near the office and that is driving me crazy. I need to be doing something besides hanging around the house. You can only do so much cleaning. If it stops raining I may just take a walk to do something. Mon is getting close.

Well I am back.

I start my treatments on Tuesday the 18th. I will come home on friday night or Sat morning. That depends how I feel. The place that they are putting me at has a exercise room/ pool/
sauna/ spa /steam room. Do you think I am going to use all of it. Heck YES if I feel up to it. I was told the first week it shouldn't bother me to much, after that I will be very tired and not feel like doing anything except sleep. I will be trying to keep up with the exercising I am that stubborn.

Good Morning everyone. I am feeling much better today. Had to do maid service today. Getting nervise about Tuesday's Biopsy. Leaving on Monday to go down to Boie. Couldn't find someone to drive me home after so I have to stay till Wed. Maybe that is good as I would do work when I got home and the DR told me no work for 3 days after will be MIA from 20-23rd.

Have a great weekend.
