Always my favorite verse
I have several that are favorites but this one is special. Due to circumstances, when I was in high school. I ended up living with my sisters in-laws my senior year.
Her mother in law was a wonderful christian lady, who taught me about Christ and what being a christian is all about.
Her gift to me upon my graduation, was a bible and on the front page--"In all thy ways acknowledge the Lord and he will direct your path."
That verse gave me so much comfort, knowing as I headed out to the unknown that all will be well, as long as I turn to God.
Now, once again, I head into the unknown. I know our life will never be the same.
Thank you all for your visits, your wonderful comments, that really help me feel as though I am not alone.
I will always look for the pot of gold at the end of the rain bow and know as Steve gets better and stronger I also will get better and stronger.
Monday, my sweet hubby had a stroke. He was in the kitchen starting to bake a cake. I was in another room but heard noises that just were so wrong, so I went to investigate and saw him hanging on to the kitchen sink about to fall.
There was nothing I could do but grab him and help make the fall a little softer. I called 911 and also called out son that works near by. Most of the following all becomes a blur. They did fly Steve to Seattle trauma center one of the best places to be.
As of now, he is recovering. It will be slow, and so far he is not able to come to this area. We live three hours away from Seattle and over a snow covered pass. I did stay with him for a couple of days but for both of us, it was better I come home.
It was a snow covered world when I woke this morning. I have never been so happy about snow then I am today, for some reason it seems to be a calming feature. So quiet and calming.
I am going to try to write often, just to help me get though this. I am looking forward to being able to post on your blogs but for right now, I try to read and nothing is registering.
Back to blogging
Sorry, I went missing. The computer decided it no longer wanted to work. How frustrating these machines can be.
So off to the shop it went, with the result in the tech's saying it was old and needed to be replaced. How frustrating!!
Well, long story short, I have no clue what they did, but for now it is working and I will be happy with that.
Another, sad thing happened. We had to put our beloved Joker down. He was having some trouble but as all pet owners I hoped and prayed they were not serious. Turned out they were serious and he was very, very old. Joker, was so loyal and so sweet. I will miss him very much.
A memory most of us share
My daughter, was explaining her Christmas tree dilemma .
She will be hosting the family Christmas this year but because they just adopted a kitten!! Putting up the tree right now was not an option.
She was explaining how in the old days 👵 the tree was not put up until Christmas day and then taken down the same day. Not, sure if this is true but it was her explanation.
She went on to say "you remember"😒 well no! not really.
What I do remember is the orange in my stocking. It was a big deal!!
I don't remember getting a lot of gifts. I do remember the stocking. Filled with nuts and that wonderful orange.
Welcome
I know, there are people holding it together that have a better reason for a pity party then I do.
But, I thought maybe I would get off this merry go round of pity if I shared it!!
A few years ago, I was diagnosed with macular degeneration, in my right eye. The treatment is a course of shots to the eye. I know, when I was first told, I must have read the consent forum a hundred times. You know, the one giving permission!!! I just knew, they did not mean a shot in the EYE!! Who does that????
So, for awhile the shots seem to be working, my eye sight was holding. Over the past few months, the shot's have stopped working and vision is slowly decreasing in that eye.
Next month they will try a new medicine, no guarantees.
it is effecting how I sew, sometimes it is funny as I reach for thread that is not there, other times it is frustrating.
This is just a set back, and like I said, there are people holding it all together, that are worse off then me. Thank you for letting me vent.
Christmas memories from the past
My little Lulu loved the snow. Hated rain but loved snow I miss her so much.
Grandbabies, waiting for Christmas
Ornaments that have a story
Grandbabies that cut their hair, right before going to the nutcracker ballet.
These are a few of my favorite things. Maybe what I love the most about Christmas is the memories we make.
A bag for everyone
I really do love to wrap presents. This year I have some strange size items and finding boxes was getting to be a chore. So----bags it will be!!
Big bags and little bags-lots and lots of bags.
Mr. snowman, is out of the box, this is his favorite time of the year. He gets to stay out for awhile because he is a winter decoration, not just for Christmas. I love having my snowmen around in the winter months.
