 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

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

 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

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

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.

PREEMIE HEART BLANKET

 IT TOOK ME TWO DAYS OFF AND ON TO COME UP WITH THIS DESIGN. I STILL HAVE CHANGES TO MAKE SO I'M MAKING ANOTHER ONE. THE COLOR IS REALLY BAD,SORRY. I TOOK THE PICTURES AFTER DARK.

 NOT HAPPY WITH THIS ONE EITHER SO MORE CHANGES HERE ALSO.

 THIS IS THE YARN I USED. BIG DIFFERENCE IN THE COLOR. I STILL HAVE A TON OF YARN LEFT.

HAT FOR MCK.

MY PORCH SWING

 TIM AND HIS BROTHERS SAWED THIS WOOD BACK IN THE SPRING. TIM WATCHED BECAUSE HE WAS GETTING OVER HIS OPEN HEART SURGERY. IT WAS ANOTHER MEMORY OF THE THREE OF THEM DOING SOMETHING TOGETHER AS BROTHERS.

 THIS IS MY SWING TIM MADE. HE HAS BEEN WORKING ON IT AWHILE. HE WORKS A LITTLE AND SITS IN A CHAIR FOR AWHILE.

I LOVE IT AND I LOVE HIM. I CAN SWING MY DOGS WHILE I WAIT ON THEIR MOMS.
