U-M-M-M-M

BLUEBERRY AND PEACH COBBLER
I LOVE COOKING IN THIS OLD PAN I GOT AT A YARD SALE. TIM'S MOTHER HAD ONE THAT SHE MADE ALL KINDS OF SWEET GOODIES IN. I ALWAYS THINK OF YOU MOMMA GRIGGS WHEN I COOK IN IT. WE MISS YOU SO.


BLUEBERRY CREAM CHEESE CUPS
I HAD A FEW BLUEBERRIES LEFT SO I PUT SUGAR IN THEM AND COOKED THEN UNTIL THICK. THEN PUT SOME POWERED SUGAR IN CREAM CHEESE AND MIXED IT UP GOOD.

PILLOW CASES

MY FRIEND MELISA IS MAKING PILLOW CASES FOR CRAFT HOPE. I THOUGHT I WOULD MAKE THESE 6 PILLOW CASES TO HELP OUT. THEY WERE REALLY EASY AND QUICK TO MAKE. THEY WILL BE GOING TO CONKERR CANCER.

ConKerr Cancer was established two years ago to put smiles upon the faces of terminally ill children in the hospital. They provide bright and cheery handmade pillowcases for these children.

IF YOU WANT TO HELP JUST CLICK ON THE CRAFT HOPE ICON ON THE RIGHT FOR MORE INFORMATION.

TIM

WE FOUND OUT A COUPLE MONTHS AGO THAT TIM HAS ANOTHER ANEURYSM. HIS SURGEON SENT HIM TO ANOTHER SURGEON, HE'S THE BEST IN THE SOUTH. HE ALSO SAW ANOTHER BLOOD DR. IN THAT AREA. THEY BOTH AGREE THAT THEY DON'T WANT TO DO SURGERY AT THIS TIME. TIM'S HAD OPEN HEART TWO TIMES ALREADY AND THEY SAID THAT SURGERY NOW WOULD BE WORSE THAN THE ANEURYSM.
THEY CALL IT A FALSE ANEURYSM BECAUSE IT'S LIKE A LITTLE POCKET ON THE SIDE OF HIS AORTIC ROOT NEXT TO THE NEW VALVE. DEPENDING ON WHO DOES THE TEST IT MEASURES 5.3-5.7 . THEY TOLD US BECAUSE OF ALL THE SCAR TISSUE TIM HAS THAT THE ANEURYSM IS STRONGER THAN IT WOULD BE WITHOUT IT. THEY WANT TO DO ANOTHER TEE TEST TO SEE IF THE SIZE HAS CHANGED IN 6 MONTHS. THEY WILL DO IT IN NOVEMBER BECAUSE HIS COBRA INSURANCE RUNS OUT IN DECEMBER. THAT WILL GIVE THEM TIME TO DO SOMETHING IF IT HAS GROWN.
AS FOR THE ANEMIA IT'S JUST A TAD BETTER. BOTH BLOOD DOCTORS AGREE AFTER ALL THE TEST THEY HAVE DONE THAT THE ANEMIA IS CAUSED FROM THE JET STREAM CAUSED BY THE ANEURYSM. IT'S DESTROYING THE RED BLOOD CELLS. WHEN WE GO BACK TO THE BLOOD DR. HE WILL TRY GIVING TIM MEDS TO HELP BUILD UP HIS BLOOD.
PLEASE PRAY FOR TIM TO HAVE THE STRENGTH TO DEAL WITH THIS. I HAVE FAITH THAT HE WILL BE FINE. THANKS FOR ALL THE PRAYERS YOU HAVE ALREADY SENT UP.

ANOTHER EGF DONATION

THIS LITTLE GOWN AND BLANKET FOR A 1-3 POUND PREEMIE WILL GO TO EGF. IT'S FOR A BOY. I'M JUST NOT HAPPY WITH THE BONNETS AT ALL. I'M AFRAID THE FATHERS WON'T LIKE THEM. DO I CROCHET A LITTLE HAT OR JUST KEEP MAKING BONNETS? I WANT IT TO LOOK GOOD BECAUSE THE GOWN IS SATIN. I DIDN'T LIKE THE OTHER BOY BONNET IT JUST DIDN'T FIT RIGHT SO I MADE THIS LITTLE CHANGE.
