This Couple! Wow!

By

THIS COUPLE!!! I am SO blessed to have these two in my life! We have known Bruce and Sue for 18 years! They are two AMAZING individuals, who make an INCREDIBLE couple! They truly put God, their marriage, family and friends first in their lives.
 
THIS WOMAN!!! Sue gives to so many in her life: her children, her grandchildren, family, friends and strangers. She has been there with me through many tragedies and difficult times. Just last June, both Sue and Bruce blessed us with the most enchanting evening in the forest, after we lost a life-long dream and project we had been working on for 3.5 years and my friend of 28 years. Then she sent me home with these gorgeous flowers to enjoy!
 
Sue has been a friend to my mom, as she has been struggling severely with her health and living an isolated life. She went through every single piece of clothing my mom had in her closet, drawers and in boxes and helped her decide what to take to her new home at the Cantril House in Castle Rock (assisted living). That was a Godsend for me, because I dreaded that task. Sue helped sort through the bathroom things and was an incredible source of MUCH NEEDED moral support for all of us, throughout the grueling process! Last week, she visited Mom in her new place and did some shopping for her.
Sue is what a true servant of God and friend looks like! And I am so thankful for Bruce, who greets me with the most loving bear hug ever! This man’s treasured wisdom is so valuable to us and we are so thankful that he shares his BEAUTIFUL bride with us! Please keep Sue in your prayers, as she is facing some of her own physical challenges. May God bless these two for the blessings they give to others!
 
I LOVE YOU Bruce and Sue, more than words can say! I could never get through this life without you!

A Surprise Bouquet from Amazing Friends

By

Wowee!!! I have THE MOST AMAZING friends, Mike and Patti! They have a pretty good idea of the HORROR I have been living off and on (mostly on) for past 6 years, plus every day for the last 1.5!

I have been near death more times than I can count and under so much unfathomable, unthinkable, daily stress and crisis situations with my mom, in addition to so so many deaths, attacks on us and serious loses. I will spare the details. Please just keep my mom, Wayne and me in your prayers.

Today, a florist showed up at my door. I told him, “you must have the wrong address, because I never get flowers!” I was being serious. But I looked at the card and IT WAS for me!

Thank you, Mike and Patti for caring enough to send me the ABSOLUTELY GORGEOUS bouquet! My only wish is that we weren’t so far apart!

I love you both so much!!! 💖💖💖

Princess Pumpkin Loves Her Comfy Couch

“If you were a goat, where would you like to take a nap? On the hard ground or a soft, cushy bench where Mommy stores her lounge chair pads and pillows? Ya, me too! I feel like I am floating on a cloud! I am Princess Pumpkin and life is good!”

Love, Pumpkin

Daylight Saving Time Means Hellooooo Sunshine!

By

Daylight Saving to the rescue!

To all my friends who really struggle with the sun going down way too early in the Winter … WE MADE IT!

Not only has the sun been going down about a minute later a day, we got to skip a whole hour with Daylight Saving Time!

Why Daylight Saving Time is Important to Me!

Because of this, I can spend more time outside with my animals and my brain will get a ton more life-giving sunshine! Another thing many don’t think about is, trying to get outdoor animals put up before 4 or 5 is unreal! It is before my hubby can get home and impossible to get home from appointments (because I have to make them after 2).

We All Can Enjoy Daylight Saving Time

Anyhow, it’s not all about me. Now everyone can enjoy more sunshine after work for BBQ’s, taking walks and kids can spend more time outside after school!

For those who hated losing one hour of sleep, remember we 238 more hours of sunshine in the evenings! … Well worth it, I think, don’t you? Wahoo!

Spent Time with Family

By

Had a wonderful visit with family! My sister and brother-in-law came for a visit and we saw my great niece, Avery Carey who now lives fairly close! We celebrated an early Thanksgiving together for the first time in 6 years (when my brother was still with us).

A special THANK YOU goes out to Chef@home – Mahani Duncan for providing our dinners so we wouldn’t have to worry about meals! Cannot tell you how HUGE this is!

It is so bitter sweet to see my family. I am thankful, but it is always so hard to watch them drive away!

Sorry, no photos. None of us felt well enough for photos.
