TIM AT A WELCOME CENTER IN NORTH CAROLINA

WOOD CARVING AT HOTEL WHERE WE STAYED

ANOTHER CARVING

BLUE RIDGE MT. PARKWAY N.C.

TIM AND I WENT WITH HIS BROTHER AND HIS WIFE ON A LITTLE VACATION A COUPLE OF WEEKS AGO, IT WAS VERY MUCH NEEDED. WE HAD A VERY RELAXING TRIP. WE WENT TO THE SMOKEY MOUNTAINS IN TENNESSEE AND THEN ON TO THE BLUE RIDGE MOUNTAIN PARKWAY IN NORTH CAROLINA. IT WAS OUR FIRST TIME TO GO TO THE PARKWAY. IT WAS BEAUTIFUL!
TIM HAS BEEN HAVING A LOT OF DAYS WHERE HE DOESN'T FEEL GOOD. WHEN HE HAD HIS PACEMAKER CHECK LAST MONTH IT SHOWED THAT HIS PACEMAKER HAS BEEN WORKING A LOT. IT RAN OVER 90 HOURS ONE TIME. NOW WE KNOW WHY HE HAS BEEN HAVING BAD DAYS. I JUST PRAY AND REFUSE TO WORRY. AT LEAST I KNOW IF HIS HEART IS NOT GOING TO BEAT RIGHT HIS PACEMAKER WILL.
SORRY IT HAS BEEN SO LONG SINCE MY LAST POST BUT I HAVE BEEN BUSY WITH GROOMING AND JUST SPENDING TIME WITH TIM. I DO TRY TO FIND TIME TO CHECK IN ON OTHER BLOGS BUT JUST DON'T HAVE TIME TO POST. I HAVE CROCHETED A LITTLE AND HOPE TO FIND TIME TO POST PICTURES SOON.
HAVE A BLESSED FOURTH OF JULY. THANK YOU TO ALL THE MEN AND WOMEN IN UNIFORM FOR ALL YOU HAVE DONE TO INSURE OUR FREEDOM. MAY GOOD BLESS YOU ALL.

HELPING OUT

2011-05-15T16:28:00.000-05:00

TIM AND I HAVE BEEN WORKING AT THE TORNADO RELIEF DISTRIBUTION CENTER. I WISH WE COULD HAVE WORKED MORE BUT FRIDAY-SUNDAY WAS ALL WE COULD DO. THEY OPENED AT 8:00 AM AND CLOSED AT 8:00 PM ON THE DAYS WE WORKED. THEY HAD BE STAYING OPEN 24 HOURS A DAY. WE STILL HAVE PEOPLE LIVING IN TENTS. THEY WON'T LET PEOPLE IN SEVERAL AREAS UNLESS YOU LIVE THERE. WE DIDN'T WORK VERY LONG TODAY. I GOT UP CRYING THIS MORNING THINKING ABOUT SOME OF THE PEOPLE I GOT TO KNOW. SOME PEOPLE COME IN EVERYDAY AND GET THINGS AND OTHERS YOU HAVE TO MAKE THEM GET THINGS. THEY WOULD SAY "OTHERS NEED IT MORE THAN I DO". THESE WERE PEOPLE WITHOUT A HOME. TODAY I JUST PUT THINGS IN A MANS BUGGY BECAUSE HE JUST HAD TWO LITTLE BAGS OF THINGS. I SAW WHAT HE HAD AND JUST GOT HIM MORE OF THE SAME. SO SAD!
TIM AND I WOULD FIND SOMETHING WE THOUGHT A CHILD WOULD LIKE AND HIDE IT BACK TO GIVE TO A SPECIAL CHILD THAT CAME BY. THIS WAS SO HEART WARMING. A BABY WAS DIRTY AND CRYING AND I GAVE IT A LITTLE PACKAGED TOY AND BABY SNACK AND THE TEARS WERE REPLACED WITH A SMILE. I PICKED OUT A LITTLE GIRL TO GIVE A BOXED NECKLACE TO. I TOLD HER I HAD IT HIDE BACK WAITING ON A SPECIAL YOUNG LADY. I DON'T THINK I'LL EVER FORGET THE HUGE SMILE SHE HAD ON HER FACE. BEFORE SHE LEFT SHE CAME BACK TO TALK TO ME. THEY LOST EVERYTHING! HER MOTHER WAS PICKED UP BY THE TORNADO BUT IS ALRIGHT. AS FAITH WOULD HAVE IT SHE HAD LEFT ABOUT 10 MINUTES BEFORE IT HIT. I DON'T WANT TO TELL YOU THE THINGS SHE TOLD ME ABOUT HER NEIGHBORS THAT DIDN'T MAKE IT. I HATE THAT SHE HAD TO KNOW ALL THOSE AWFUL THINGS. I ASKED ONE OLDER LADY IF SHE NEEDED BABY WIPES AND SHE SAID "YES HONEY I USE A LOT OF THEM, I HATE WASHING UP IN COLD WATER SO I BATHE WITH THESE". SHE WAS LIVING IN A TENT. A LOT OF PEOPLE DON'T HAVE A WAY OF GOING ANYWHERE SO LAW ENFORCEMENT OF ONE KIND OR ANOTHER WAS TAKING THINGS TO THEM. STILL PRAYING FOR THESE STRONG PEOPLE AND EVERYONE HELPING OUT.

WE HAVE POWER

2011-04-30T08:43:00.000-05:00

JUST WANTED TO LET YOU KNOW THAT WE HAVE POWER AND WE ARE FINE. SO MANY PEOPLE ARE STILL WITHOUT POWER. ONE MAN MY SON WORKS WITH LOST 5 OR 6 MEMBERS OF HIS FAMILY. ONE OF OUR FAMILY MEMBERS LOST THEIR HOME. SO MANY PEOPLE WITHOUT A PLACE TO LIVE, IT'S SO SAD. THANK YOU FOR YOUR PRAYERS.

Kathy and Alabama Storms

2011-04-28T10:58:00.000-05:00

Hi Everyone!

Thanks,
Melisa

HAPPY EASTER

2011-04-24T08:47:00.000-05:00

CROCHETING

2011-04-15T22:22:00.000-05:00

I MADE THIS LITTLE HEADBAND FOR STELLA TODAY. I LOVE IT! I CALLED HER MOM WHEN I GOT IT MADE AND LEFT IN THE POURING DOWN RAIN TO SEE WHAT IT LOOKED LIKE ON HER. SHE IS BEAUTIFUL!

THIS IS SOMETHING I WANTED TO DO LAST YEAR, MAKE A COVER FOR MY GLASS SO FLIES DON'T GET IN IT WHEN I'M OUTSIDE. COULDN'T FIND THE PATTERN SO I CAME UP WITH THIS ONE.
I'VE BEEN BUSY WITH WORK AND HAVEN'T BEEN ABLE TO POST MUCH LATELY. I HAVE SOME PREEMIE THINGS TO POST LATER.

WEATHER AND COWS

2011-04-07T21:47:00.000-05:00

YESTERDAY IT WAS COLD AND CLOUDY.

I LOVE THIS OLD TREE THE CATTLE ARE STANDING UNDER.

THIS WAS THE SUNRISE WE SAW THIS MORNING ON OUR WALK. SNOOPY IS STARTING TO GET UP EARLIER NOW. I GUESS HE HAD A LITTLE TROUBLE ADJUSTING TO THE TIME CHANGE. WE'VE BEEN MISSING THE SUNRISE ON OUR MORNING WALKS.
TIM'S BURNS ARE FINALLY HEALED UP. I'VE BEEN SO BUSY WITH WORK I'VE NOT BEEN ABLE TO POST. I'M THANKFUL FOR THE WORK BUT I MISS MY COMPUTER. THANK YOU FOR YOUR PRAYERS.
I ADMIT IT, I'M HAVING A HARD TIME COMING UP WITH TITLE'S FOR MY POST. :)

VOTIVE CANDLE COVER

2011-03-29T20:20:00.000-05:00

LOOKS LIKE WE'LL BE GETTING MORE RAIN TONIGHT AND TOMORROW. I LOVE THUNDERSTORMS BUT POOR SNOOPY HATES THEM. THAT MEANS MOM WON'T GET VERY MUCH SLEEP TONIGHT. THAT WILL MAKE 3 OUT OF 4 NIGHTS WITH VERY LITTLE SLEEP.
I MADE THIS LITTLE COASTER YESTERDAY. IT WAS A DOILY PATTERN USING WW YARN. I USED #10 COTTON THREAD SO IT WOULD BE SMALLER. WOULD HAVE BEEN NICE FOR VALENTINE'S DAY.

TIM AND FLOWERS

2011-03-26T09:26:00.000-05:00

TIM IS DOING BETTER FINALLY. HE HAD SOME INFECTION GET STARTED UP ON HIS NECK AND HIS LEGS STARTED SWELLING MORE THAN USUAL. HE STARTED TAKING ANTIBIOTIC'S WHICH HAS HELPED A LOT. HIS HAND IS DOING GREAT. IT WAS BURNED THROUGH SEVERAL LAYERS OF SKIN BUT IS HEALING BETTER THAN HIS NECK. THE DR. WANTED ME TO GIVE HIM AN EXTRA FLUID PILL FOR FOUR DAYS TO HELP WITH THE SWELLING. I THINK THE SWELLING WAS CAUSED FROM HIM BEING ON HIS FEET MORE SINCE THE WEATHER IS WARMER. THANK YOU GOD FOR TAKING CARE OF HIM AND FORGIVE ME FOR NOT LETTING YOU HAVE ALL THE WORRY.
I PICKED SOME OF MY FLOWERS YESTERDAY AND PUT THEM IN THE SHOP. I DON'T USUALLY PICK THEM BUT DECIDED THIS YEAR I WOULD PICK FLOWERS AND ENJOY THEM. I HOPE EVERYONE HAS A BLESSED WEEKEND. I'M GOING TO GO SEE WHAT I'VE MISSED THIS WEEK IN BLOG LAND.

TOWEL

2011-03-15T10:44:00.000-05:00


CROCHET TOWEL

I MADE THIS TOWEL AND FLOWER PATTERN UP YESTERDAY WHILE TRYING TO FORGET HOW SICK I FELT AT MY STOMACH. I ONLY HAD THE ONE BALL OF YARN SO IT'S A LITTLE SHORT.
TIM IS DOING ALRIGHT BUT STILL WON'T GO TO THE DR. I DID GET THE DR. TO CALL IN A CREAM YESTERDAY AFTERNOON. I WAITED ALL DAY ON IT. I GET SO SICK AT MY STOMACH WHEN I CLEAN IT. I CAN'T WORK BECAUSE I'M SO UPSET AND SICK . I JUST LOVE HIM AND WANT HIM TO BE ALRIGHT.
HAVE A BLESSED DAY!

TIM

2011-03-13T18:57:00.000-05:00

TIM IS ALRIGHT BUT HE DID CATCH HIMSELF ON FIRE YESTERDAY. HE WAS WORKING ON A TRUCK THAT WOULDN'T CRANK SO HE POURED GAS IN IT. OUR SON ERIC WAS THERE AND PULLED TIM'S JACKET OFF BECAUSE IT WAS ON FIRE. HIS NECK AND EAR WERE BURNED. HE WON'T GO TO THE DR. A FRIEND GAVE ME A CREAM FOR BURNS AND I CLEANED IT UP AND GOT OFF SOME OF THE DEAD SKIN. THE CREAM WORKED GREAT HE DID SLEEP LAST NIGHT. I CLEANED IT THIS MORNING AND I'M GETTING READY TO CLEAN IT AGAIN. SO FAR NO SIGN OF INFECTION. PLEASE PRAY FOR HIM.
TODAY IS ALSO HIS BIRTHDAY! WHAT A WAY TO SPEND YOUR BIRTHDAY, AT LEAST WE'RE NOT IN THE HOSPITAL LIKE WE HAVE BEEN BEFORE. HAVE A BLESSED DAY EVERYONE.

2011-03-13T18:49:00.001-05:00

THIS IS A POT HOLDER I SAW ON ANOTHER BLOG, MARY GAVE ME THE DIRECTIONS SO I COULD MAKE IT. THANK YOU! MY SON LOVES IT, HE'S 36 YEARS OLD. HE WANTS ME TO PUT IT IN A PLASTIC BAG SO HE CAN SHOW IT TO HIS FRIENDS. I THINK IT COULD HAVE BEEN A LOT BETTER. IT'S BEEN A LONG TIME SINCE I'VE USED THREAD. THANK YOU MARY AND I LOVE YOUR BLOG.

AUNT JANELL GAVE ME THIS KALANCHOE (ROSE FLOWER) FOR VALENTINE'S DAY. I THOUGHT IT WOULD TAKE A CUTE PICTURE IF PLACED ON THE OLD SWING IN MY FLOWER GARDEN. THE CHICKEN'S HAVE TAKEN IT OVER SO I DON'T PLANT ANYTHING IN IT NOW. YOU CAN SEE SOME OF THE BOYS TOYS FROM YEARS AGO STILL IN THERE.

TIM PICKED THESE FOR ME TWO DAYS AGO. HE USED TO PICK FLOWERS FOR ME YEARS AGO ALL THE TIME. ERIC (OUR OLDEST SON) SAID THEY WERE COMING HOME FROM FISHING AND HIS DAD SAID PULL OVER. HE THOUGHT SOMETHING WAS WRONG WITH TIM'S HEART, REALLY SCARED HIM. TURNS OUT DAD JUST WANTED TO PICK MOM THESE FLOWERS ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. THANKS HON, I LOVE YOU.

I AM WHO I AM BECAUSE OF YOU.

SNOW

2011-01-10T17:45:00.001-06:00

SNOOPY DURING OUR EARLY MORNING WALK. HE LOVED IT. HIS NOSE HAD TO BE FROZEN BECAUSE HE WAS SMELLING DOWN IN THE SNOW. YOU CAN SEE THAT THE SNOW HAS A CRUST ON TOP BECAUSE OF THE FREEZING RAIN.

ON OUR NEXT WALK IT WAS FROZEN A LOT MORE. HE HAD A VERY HARD TIME WALKING. AS YOU CAN SEE HERE HE WAS ON TOP, TWO STEPS LATER AND HE FELL THROUGH. AT FIRST HE WAS A LITTLE WORRIED ABOUT IT BUT SOON SAW THAT HE WAS SAFE THEN TRIED TO RUN. THAT DIDN'T WORK OUT FOR HIM.

THIS IS THE MAIN ROAD THAT RUNS IN FRONT OF OUR HOUSE. SOME TRUCKS AND 4-WHEELER'S WERE BRAVING THE SNOW.

THIS IS AT THE CHURCH UP THE ROAD FROM US. I DON'T KNOW IF THE SNOW DID THIS OR NOT. WE WALK TO THE CROSSROAD THEN GO BACK THE WAY WE CAME. TODAY BECAUSE OF THE SNOW WE WENT DOWN THE MAIN ROAD AND SAW THIS. THEY HAVE MEETINGS HERE IN THE WARMER MONTHS.

WHEN I SAW THIS I JUST LOVED IT. SNOOPY AND I DID AS THE SIGN INSTRUCTS, WE STOPPED, ADMIRED THE VIEW THEN TOOK THIS PICTURE. THANK YOU LORD FOR ALL OUR BLESSING.
JUST FOR THE RECORD I'LL BE HAPPY IF THIS IS THE LAST SNOW WE HAVE THIS WINTER. WE DON'T GET SNOW THAT OFTEN AND THIS MAKES TWO TIMES THIS WINTER. I'M DONE WITH IT, BRING ON SPRING.

TWO PREEMIE BLANKETS

2011-01-03T11:49:00.000-06:00

MY FRIEND MELISA CAME UP WITH A BLANKET CALLED BABY BUBBLES ON A CLOUD. I ASKED HER IF SHE WOULD DESIGN A PREEMIE VERSION FOR ME, AND SHE DID.

GROOMING HOUSE

SNOOPY DURING OUR WALK THIS MORNING.
BELOW IS THE ROAD IN FRONT OF OUR HOUSE.

IT'S RARE FOR US TO HAVE SNOW ON CHRISTMAS BUT WE DO HAVE IT THIS YEAR.
I HOPE EVERYONE HAS A BLESSED DAY TODAY.
REMEMBERING SWEET JESUS TODAY AND EVERYDAY.

THANK YOU LORD

2010-12-20T19:57:00.000-06:00

JUST WANTED TO TAKE A MINUTE TO PRAISE GOD. TIM'S INSURANCE RUNS OUT IN JAN. WE HAVE BEEN TRYING TO GET HELP FROM DIFFERENT DRUG COMPANIES FOR SEVERAL OF TIM'S MEDICINES. WELL HE HEARD FROM THE COMPANY WHOSE MEDICINE WAS GOING TO COST AROUND 350.00. A MONTH. HE GETS IT FREE FOR A YEAR. THANK YOU LORD. ONE MORE WORRY OFF MY LIST.
I'VE BEEN SICK FOR ABOUT A WEEK NOW. SO GLAD TO BE OFF THE COUCH. TIM IS GETTING IT NOW AND NEEDS YOUR PRAYERS. I FEEL SO BAD THAT HE'S GETTING THIS FROM ME. I SPEND ALL MY TIME KEEPING HIM WELL NOW I'VE MADE HIM SICK.
HOPE EVERYONE HAS A BLESSED CHRISTMAS THIS YEAR.

CATCH UP

2010-12-02T20:59:00.002-06:00

FIRST IS A PICTURE OF MY NEW PRINTER. MY OLD ONE TORE UP A COUPLE OF MONTHS AGO. I'VE BEEN PRAYING FOR THE MONEY TO GET A NEW ONE BECAUSE I COULDN'T SHIP MY DONATIONS WITHOUT DONATION CARDS. EVERY TIME I WOULD GET THE MONEY I'D NEED IT FOR SOMETHING ELSE. I GROOMED TWO OF KELLY OWEN'S DOGS THIS WEEK. I NEVER LOOK AT THE MONEY OR CHECKS UNTIL I GO IN THE HOUSE. SHE GAVE ME A 140.00 TIP. IF THAT WASN'T GOD ANSWERING MY PRAYER FOR A PRINTER I DON'T KNOW WHAT WAS. I THOUGHT I WAS GOING TO HAVE A HEART ATTACK OR SOMETHING I COULDN'T BREATHE. MY FIRST THOUGHT WAS PRINTER, MY NEXT THOUGHT WAS YOU BETTER NOT SPEND IT. I TOLD TIM ABOUT IT AND HE SAID THANK YOU GOD THEN TOLD ME WE WERE GOING TO TOWN. I GOT THE CHEAPEST ONE THEY HAD AT WAL-MART. THANK YOU GOD FOR BEING SO GOOD TO US.

THIS IS A PICTURE OF SOME MATERIAL THAT KELLY OWEN GAVE ME. HER DAUGHTER RANDA TOLD HER ABOUT THE BURIAL SETS I MAKE FOR EGF AND SHE WANTED TO HELP. I CAN MAKE 48 BLANKETS WITH THIS. WISH I HAD THEM MADE ALREADY. THANK YOU KELLY FOR THE MATERIAL AND MONEY. MAY GOD BLESS YOU TEN FOLD.

NEXT WE HAVE 12 LITTLE PREEMIE CHRISTMAS HATS FOR EGF.

6 YELLOW PREEMIE HATS

12 CHRISTMAS HATS
2 TWIN BOY SETS
12 SETS ? I FORGOT TO COUNT THEM
AUNT JANELLE MADE 100 BRACELET SETS. I ONLY SENT 75 SETS BECAUSE I WANTED TO KEEP 25 SETS TO PUT IN MY SETS SO CANDY WOULDN'T HAVE TO OPEN THEM UP AND DO IT HERSELF.
I ALSO HAD A FRIEND DONATE A PROM-PAGEANT DRESS. CAN YOU BELIEVE THAT I NEARLY HAD IT CUT UP WHEN I REMEMBERED THAT I FORGOT TO TAKE A PICTURE OF IT. I'M GOING TO ASK HER IF SHE HAS A PICTURE OF IT I CAN USE.

TEST RESULTS

2010-11-19T08:41:00.000-06:00

DR. NEWTON CONFIRMED WHAT GOD HAD ALREADY TOLD ME. NO CHANGE IN THE ANEURYSM. THANK YOU GOD FOR BEING SO GOOD TO US. THANK YOU ALSO TO EVERYONE THAT HAS BEEN PRAYING FOR US, WE LOVE YOU.
HE WANTS TO REDO THE TEST IN 6 MONTHS. I REMINDED HIM THAT TIM'S INSURANCE WILL RUN OUT THE END OF DECEMBER. HE SAID HE'D WORK SOMETHING OUT.
IT'S ANOTHER BEAUTIFUL DAY. TELL SOMEONE YOU LOVE THEM AND ENJOY THIS LIFE GOD HAS GIVEN US. HAVE A BLESSED DAY.

HAVE A BLESSED DAY

2010-11-10T15:19:00.000-06:00

I JUST WANTED TO CHECK IN AND LET YOU KNOW WE'RE STILL HERE.
TIM IS HAVING TEST AGAIN ON HIS HEART. WE FIND OUT NEXT WEEK IF THE ANEURYSM HAS GROWN OR NOT. I SAY NOT. NO MORE VACATIONS AT HUNTSVILLE HOSPITAL.
I NEARLY HAVE THE PATTERN FOR THE PREEMIE HEART BLANKET WORKED OUT. I'LL POST THE PATTERN HERE WHEN I MAKE SURE I HAVE IT WROTE DOWN RIGHT.
THE WEATHER HAS COOLED OFF A LOT SO MY WORK HAS ALSO SLOWED DOWN. NOW IT'S TIME TO GET THE YARN OUT. I NEED TO MAKE A FEW CHRISTMAS HATS FOR EGF FOR SURE. I HAVE TWO BOXES OF DONATIONS READY TO MAIL BUT CAN'T REMEMBER TO DO IT. ONE IS FOR EGF AND THE OTHER ONE IS FOR MCK.
TAKE CARE EVERYONE AND HAVE A BLESSED DAY.

THIS DRESS WAS DONATED BY TIM'S COUSIN SHERRI. SHE WANTED HER DAUGHTER TO WEAR IT A COUPLE OF WEEKS AGO WHEN SHE GOT MARRIED.

BUT HER DAUGHTER WANTED HER OWN DRESS. SO THIS DRESS WILL NOW GO TO EGF.

THIS ONE WAS DONATED BY A FRIEND OF MY NEIGHBOR. THAT MAKES FOR DRESSES. THANK YOU BOTH SO MUCH FOR THE DRESSES.
DO I SEW OR START ON ALL THAT NEW YARN? I GUESS BOTH. I'M CUTTING OUT DRESSES AND MAKING A FEW SANTA'S. I NEED MORE TIME.

SANTA

2010-10-13T11:52:00.000-05:00

HERE ARE A COUPLE MORE PICTURES OF THE 10.00 FIND.

I WILL DE TANGLE ALL THAT YARN AND USE IT FOR AFGHAN SQUARES.

THIS LITTLE SANTA DOOR KNOB HANGER ON THE LEFT WAS IN ONE OF THE BAGS, WITH DIRECTIONS. I MADE THE ONE ON THE RIGHT. I USED A BIGGER HOOK THAN SHE DID. SHE LEFT THAT PART OUT. EVERYTHING I NEEDED TO MAKE IT WITH WAS IN THE BAG. I WANT TO MAKE SOME AND GIVE OUT AT THE NURSING HOME THIS YEAR. I JUST LOVE THEM.
I CAN'T WAIT TO START ON A BABY BLANKET. WORK COMES FIRST.

$10.00 FIND

2010-10-12T21:11:00.002-05:00

MY SISTER-IN-LAW CALLED ME TO SEE IF I WANTED SOME BABY YARN SHE FOUND FOR 10.00. WOW IS ALL I CAN SAY.

I'VE NEVER SEEN YARN THIS BIG. I THINK SOMEONE WORKED AT THE FACTORY OR SOMETHING.THIS IS WAY MORE THAN THE POUND OF LOVE SKEINS OF YARN I'VE SEEN. THEY ARE HUGE. THANK YOU PATSY. SHE WOULDN'T EVEN LET ME PAY HER FOR IT.
THIS IS NOT ALL OF IT, JUST THE BEST. THERE WAS ALSO SOME REG. YARN AND LOTS OF BITS AND PIECES.

NOW ON TO FRIENDS. THIS LAPTOP CAME IN THE MAIL YESTERDAY. IT'S A GIFT FROM MY FRIEND MELISA IN OHIO. WE HAVE NEVER MET EACH OTHER BUT ARE GREAT FRIENDS. WE TALK ON THE PHONE NEARLY EVERY DAY. I HAVE NO IDEA HOW I'M GOING TO THANK HER FOR THIS. THANK YOU JUST DON'T SEEM LIKE IT'S ENOUGH. BUT MELISA I DO SO THANK YOU.
I FEEL LIKE I'VE KNOW MELISA FOREVER, VISIT AND GO SHOPPING ALL THE TIME. WE MAY NEVER MET BUT THAT'S ALRIGHT. I JUST THANK GOD FOR HER. SHE MAKES ME LAUGH. SHE'S A VERY LOVING CARING AND GIVING PERSON.

SNOOPY AND SUNRISE

2010-09-15T14:31:00.004-05:00

SUNRISE THIS MORNING

SNOOPY CAME TO LIVE WITH US ABOUT A MONTH AND A HALF AGO. HE HAS LIVED OUTSIDE AND WAS MATTED REALLY BAD. HIS OWNERS DIDN'T WANT HIM AND GAVE HIM TO A FAMILY MEMBER WHO ASKED ME TO SHAVE HIM DOWN SO THEY COULD FIND HIM A HOME. WHAT CAN I SAY WE FELL IN LOVE BEFORE I FINISHED. HE IS THE SWEETEST THING AND WANTS TO BE A HOUSE BABY SO BAD.

I TAKE HIM FOR WALKS ON A DEAD END ROAD BEHIND THE HOUSE FOR POTTY BREAKS. THIS IS GOOD FOR BOTH OF US. ALL IN ALL HE'S DOING PRETTY GOOD. I HAVE A PIECE OF FIREWOOD CUT IN HALF THAT I PUT ON A PUPPY PAD AND HE POTTY'S ON IT IF I DON'T TAKE HIM OUT ON TIME. HE EVEN POTTY POTTY-ED ON THE PAD ONE TIME. HE SLEEPS WITH US TO, THAT MAKES 4 IN THE BED NOW. COCOA IS WARMING UP TO HIM A LITTLE. TIM HOLDS HER AND I TEND TO SNOOPY. COCOA HAS ALWAYS STAYED IN TIM'S LAP.

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

TIM

2010-08-03T07:42:00.003-05:00

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

2010-08-01T15:23:00.002-05:00

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.

ANOTHER LITTLE GOWN

2010-07-26T17:22:00.002-05:00

ANOTHER LITTLE GOWN MADE OUT OF A WEDDING DRESS FOR EGF. TIM LIKES THIS ONE BEST. I WAS GOING TO MAKE IT OUT OF WHITE AND FOR A BOY BUT IT LOOKS LIKE I FORGOT WHAT I HAD IN MIND. I HAVE A CROCHETED BOY BLANKET NEARLY READY.

STILL HERE

2010-07-13T09:39:00.004-05:00

SORRY ABOUT BEING GONE FOR SO LONG. BEEN BUSY WITH LIFE AGAIN.
I'D LIKE TO SHARE A FEW THINGS WITH EVERYONE. THIS BEAUTIFUL CARD FROM SARITA SITS ON MY DESK NOW. TIM READS IT NEARLY EVERYDAY. HE HAS GOTTEN SO MUCH STRENGTH FROM THE BEAUTIFUL WORDS THAT SARITA WROTE INSIDE IT. THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR YOUR PRAYERS AND LOVING HEART.

THESE TAGS ARE ALSO FROM SARITA, THEY ARE HANGING UP SO I CAN SEE THEM EVERYDAY AND SMILE. THEY WILL GO ON THE CHRISTMAS TREE THIS YEAR ALSO.

MOST OF YOU DON'T KNOW THAT I MISCARRIED TWO TIMES WHEN I WAS YOUNG. I WAS JUST A FEW WEEKS ALONG BOTH TIMES. THE FIRST TIME TIM'S SISTER VICKI MADE HIM A SHIRT THAT SAID MY WIFE IS CARING MY BABY. HE WORE IT A LOT IN THAT TWO WEEKS BEFORE I LOST THE BABY. WE WERE ON CLOUD NINE FOR TWO WEEKS.
I ALWAYS THOUGHT ONE WAS A GIRL AND THE OTHER A BOY. THANK YOU SO MUCH SARITA FOR REMEMBERING MY ANGELS.
YOU DO HAVE A GIFT FOR TOUCHING A PERSONS HEART. I FEEL BLESSED TO HAVE YOU AS A FRIEND.

AND LAST I HAVE TWO MORE BLANKETS FOR EGF.

I HOPE EVERYONE HAS A BEAUTIFUL AND BLESSED DAY.

ANOTHER SET

2010-06-22T07:53:00.002-05:00

CAN YOU SEE THE LITTLE BRACELET THAT AUNT JANELLE DESIGNED? I JUST LOVE IT. IT WAS MADE OUT OF BEADS FROM THE WEDDING DRESSES.

THIS GOWN AND BONNET WAS MADE FROM DRESS # 2 THANK YOU AGAIN MICHELLE. THE LITTLE BLANKET WAS MADE WHILE WAITING IN WAITING ROOMS. THE LACE ON THE BONNET AND THE OTHER BONNET CAME FROM A LADY NO LONGER WITH US. I MET HER FAMILY IN A WAITING ROOM AND THEY HAD A BOX OF YARN AND LACE WAITING FOR ME TO PICK UP ON MY WAY HOME. I MEET SO MANY NICE PEOPLE IN WAITING ROOMS.

BOY BURIAL SET

2010-06-11T20:11:00.001-05:00

THIS LITTLE GOWN WAS MADE FROM DRESS #1. IT WILL ALSO GO TO EGF.

THANK YOU MICHELLE

2010-06-08T07:14:00.003-05:00

THIS BEAUTIFUL WEDDING DRESS WAS DONATED TO ME BY MICHELLE IN PENNSYLVANIA.I DIDN'T SLEEP VERY MUCH LAST NIGHT BECAUSE I WAS THINKING ABOUT CUTTING IT UP AND MAKING LITTLE BEREAVEMENT SETS OUT OF IT. AUNT JANELLE WILL USE THE BEADS TO MAKE LITTLE BRACELETS FOR THE BABIES. BUT ONLY FROM THE LACE I CAN'T USE ON THE LITTLE GOWNS.
MICHELLE MAKES LITTLE HATS FOR PREEMIES OUT OF SOCK WASTE THAT I'VE SENT HER. THEY ARE BEAUTIFUL. I HAVE ANOTHER BOX ALL TAPED UP AND READY TO GO WHEN YOU NEED IT. JUST LET ME KNOW WHEN TO MAIL IT. THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THE GOWN AND MAY GOD BLESS YOU AS YOU HAVE BLESSED SO MANY FAMILIES.

TIM'S SURGEON HAS TURNED TIM OVER TO ANOTHER DR. BECAUSE HE FEELS THIS OTHER DR. IS BETTER QUALIFIED TO TREAT HIM. SO NOW WE GO TO BIRMINGHAM, I THINK IT'S A LITTLE FURTHER AWAY THAN HUNTSVILLE. I JUST KNOW THAT HE'S LOOKING AT OPEN HEART AGAIN.

FLORIDA

2010-06-05T22:45:00.005-05:00

WE GOT A CALL FROM OUR YOUNGEST SON IN FLORIDA, "PLEASE COME GET ME". WE LEFT AT 6:30 PM MONDAY AND GOT HOME AT 8:00 PM TUESDAY. WHAT PICTURES I TOOK WERE TAKEN OUT THE WINDOW GOING 70 MILES AN HOUR OR AT THE REST STOPS. TIM SAID I STOPPED AT ALL OF THEM. I KNOW I MISSED TWO IN A ROW, TRUST ME I KNOW FOR A FACT. I WANTED TO STOP AND SLEEP BUT TIM WAS ON A MISSION AND COULDN'T WASTE TIME SLEEPING. HAD TO GET THAT BOY HOME. SO I TOOK A FEW PICTURES OF PLACES I WOULD HAVE LIKED TO STAY AT. I DID GET A PICTURE OF A SIGN BUT A CAR PASSED US AS I TOOK IT. YOU CAN SEE FLORIDA ON IT, MY ONLY PROOF THAT I WAS REALLY THERE. WE WENT ALL THE WAY TO NEW PORT RICHEY THREW HIS THINGS IN THE TRUNK AND BACK HOME WE CAME. 45 MINUTES FROM THE BEACH AND I DIDN'T GET TO SEE IT. JOHN WAS ON A MISSION NOW, GET TO ALABAMA. YOU GOTTA LAUGH. WE DID, WAY OVER 24 HOURS WITHOUT SLEEP DOES THAT TO YOU. WELL I DID GET ALL JACKED UP ON ENERGY DRINKS , ONE A DAY WAS ALL IT TOOK. WHO KNEW?

WHEELCHAIR WRAP AND EGF DONATION

2010-05-28T13:33:00.002-05:00

THIS WILL GO TO THE LOCAL NURSING HOME.

THESE 12 BEVEREMENT SETS WILL GO TO EGF. I GOT THEM IN THE MAIL TODAY. I ALWAYS FEEL SAD WHEN I LEAVE MY BOX AT THE POST OFFICE.

LACE IT IS

2010-05-27T08:46:00.002-05:00

I SEWED THE LACE ON THE GOWN AND MADE THE LITTLE BONNET. THIS IS FOR A LITTLE ONE POUND BABY. I HAVE A DOLL I FOUND AT A YARD SALE THAT HAS THE SAME SIZE HEAD AS A 1-3 POUND BABY. I USE HER TO MAKE SURE EVERYTHING WILL FIT. I LOVE IT. THIS WILL GO TO EGF AS SOON AS I GET THE BOX FULL.

BEFORE AND AFTER

2010-05-25T17:20:00.003-05:00

DO YOU REMEMBER THIS GOWN THAT WAS DONATED TO EGF AND THEN SENT TO ME? THANKS AGAIN MISS DEBBIE FOR HELPING ME GET A GREAT PICTURE OF THE GOWN.

NOW LOOK AT IT. THIS IS WITHOUT AND WITH SOME OF THE LACE THAT WAS ON THE GOWN.

WHAT DO YOU THINK? IF I USE IT I WILL HAVE TO HAND SEW IT ON. TIM LOVES IT. I THOUGHT THIS LITTLE CROCHETED BLANKET LOOKED GOOD WITH IT.

I WANTED TO MAKE MORE BUT TODAY WAS NOT A GOOD DAY FOR SEWING. WHY IS IT WHEN YOU SO WANT TO MAKE SOMETHING EVERYTHING GOES WRONG?

TIM HAD A CARDIAC CT DONE YESTERDAY, NOW WE WAIT.

BABY CHICKS

2010-05-20T22:28:00.003-05:00

TIM LOVES HIS CHICKENS. THESE BABY CHICKS ARE ABOUT 4 DAYS OLD I THINK.

I REALLY HATE TO TELL YOU THIS BUT TIM HAD ANOTHER TEE TEST AND IT WASN'T GOOD.(PUT SCOPE DOWN THROAT TO LOOK AT HEART.) IT LOOKS LIKE HE WILL HAVE TO HAVE OPEN HEART AGAIN. HE HAS A LEAK AND ANOTHER ANEURYSM. FROM WHAT I CAN REMEMBER IT WAS CAUSED FROM THE PRESSURE OF THE LEAK. I KNOW HIS BLOOD PRESSURE WILL GO OVER 200 ON THE TOP SOMETIMES. WILL DO MORE TEST AND DR.'S WILL GET TOGETHER AND FIGURE OUT WHAT TO DO. I JUST CRY WHEN I CAN, DON'T WANT TO UPSET TIM. WE'RE JUST NUMB RIGHT NOW. WAS NOT WANTING TO HEAR THIS. I MEAN IT HAS ONLY BEEN 3 MONTHS SINCE THE LAST ONE. TIM DOESN'T REMEMBER HER SAYING IT WILL BE WORSE THAT THE LAST ONE. LET HIM WORRY ABOUT THAT WHEN HE HAS TO. HE WANTED ME TO ASK YOU TO PRAY FOR HIM AGAIN. THANKS AND HOPE EVERYONE HAS A GREAT DAY TOMORROW.

EGF

2010-05-17T06:46:00.002-05:00

ANOTHER BEREVEMENT SET FOR EGF. I LIKE THIS PATTERN AND WILL BE MAKING SEVERAL MORE. IT FELT GOOD TO GET LOST FOR AWHILE.

HAVE A GREAT DAY.

GOOD NEWS

2010-05-14T11:58:00.003-05:00

NO CANCER...THANK YOU LORD! TEST SHOWED NOTHING AT ALL. THERE IS STILL ONE TEST OUT. WE WERE HAPPY BUT THE DR. WASN'T. HE SAID IF IT WAS A PRIMARY BLOOD PROBLEM HE COULD FIX IT WITH MEDS. NOW IT'S BACK TO THE HEART. TIM WILL HAVE ANOTHER TEST NEXT WEEK TO LOOK AT THE HEART VALVE TO SEE IF IT IS LEAKING OR IF SOMETHING IS WRONG WITH IT. IF THERE IS SOMETHING WRONG THE ONLY WAY TO FIX IT IS TO HAVE OPEN HEART AGAIN. I DON'T THINK SO. I TOLD THEM THEY WOULD JUST HAVE TO KEEP GIVING HIM BLOOD AND IRON TREATMENTS. HE SAID IT WASN'T GOOD TO KEEP GETTING BLOOD. SO ALL I CAN DO IS PRAY THAT IT'S NOT THE VALVE. I'M PRAYING THAT IT WAS ALL JUST BECAUSE OF EVERYTHING HE'S BEEN THROUGH AND IT WILL GET BETTER WITH GOD'S HELP.

HE HAD A SLEEP TEST SUNDAY NIGHT IN HUNTSVILLE. I GOT TO SLEEP IN THE CAR ALL NIGHT. WELL I STAYED IN THE CAR ALL NIGHT. HOPE HE DOESN'T HAVE TO HAVE THE SECOND PART OF THAT TEST, I REALLY DON'T WANT TO STAY IN THAT CAR ALL NIGHT AGAIN.

WELL I'M GETTING CAUGHT UP ON HOUSEWORK AND YARD WORK TODAY. I REALLY HATE THAT WEED EATER. I'VE NEVER HAD TO USE IT BEFORE, I JUST DO A LITTLE AND REST. TIM SAID HE WAS GOING TO GET SOMETHING TO PUT ON IT AND AROUND ME SO IT WILL HELP OUT MY ARMS. STILL WAITING... HAVE A BLESSED DAY.

I ALMOST FORGOT, I TOOK THIS PICTURE OF MY PINK ROSE A FEW DAYS AGO. IT SMELLS SOOOO GOOD.

IT'S OVER

2010-05-07T08:54:00.002-05:00

TIM HAD THE BONE MARROW BIOPSY YESTERDAY.THANK GOODNESS THAT IS BEHIND US. WE FIND OUT THE RESULTS WEDNESDAY. NOW WE STAY BUSY SO WE DON'T STRESS OVER THE RESULT. PRAYING FOR GOOD NEWS.
HOPE EVERYONE HAS A GREAT WEEKEND. WISHING ALL A HAPPY MOTHERS DAY.

IT'S BEEN AWHILE, SORRY

2010-05-01T18:51:00.002-05:00

I'D LIKE TO START OFF BY SAYING I'M SORRY FOR NOT POSTING IN A LONG TIME. I GUESS LIFE JUST GETS IN THE WAY AT TIMES.
TIM IS DOING BETTER NOW. HE GOES NEXT WEEK FOR A BONE MARROW BIOPSY. HIS RED BLOOD CELL COUNT IS LOW. HE'S HAD 5 IRON TREATMENTS AND 5 B-12 SHOTS AND IT'S LOWER THAN WHEN HE STARTED. PRAYING IT'S JUST BECAUSE OF EVERYTHING HE'S BEEN THROUGH. HIS HEART IS DOING BETTER, JUST TIRED BECAUSE OF HIS BLOOD.
I'VE NOT BEEN CROCHETING VERY MUCH. I AM WORKING ON A WHEELCHAIR WRAP. I NEED TO DO MORE.
I PROMISE TO DO MY BEST TO BE A BETTER BLOGGER. I HOPE EVERYONE OUT THERE HAS A GREAT WEEKEND AND KNOW YOUR IN MY PRAYERS EVEN IF I'M NOT POSTING. I'D ALSO LIKE TO THANK EVERYONE FOR YOUR COMMENTS AND E-MAILS.
LAST BUT NOT LEAST TO MELISA, THANK YOU FOR BRINGING TO MY ATTENTION HOW LONG IT'S BEEN SINCE I'VE POSTED. NOW OFF TO VISIT.

PREEMIE THINGS FOR EGF

2010-03-20T12:57:00.003-05:00

2 LITTLE GOWNS AND 1 BLANKET FOR EGF. I STILL NEED TO MAKE BONNETS TO GO WITH THEM. I THINK I ALREADY HAVE ANOTHER BLANKET LIKE THIS MADE.

UPDATE ON TIM: HIS MEDS ARE MAKING HIM SICK AGAIN AND THAT MEANS I HAVE A HARD TIME GETTING HIM TO EAT. HE STILL FEELS BETTER THAN HE HAS BEEN. HE GOT OUT YESTERDAY AND ENJOYED THE PRETTY WEATHER WE HAD. LAST NIGHT HE PAYED FOR IT.HE WAS COLD AND THEN HE WAS SWEATING. HE'S GROUNDED TODAY SO HE CAN LOOK OUTSIDE AND THAT'S IT.

I HOPE EVERYONE HAS A BLESSED DAY.
