Prayers Needed for a Wonderful Lady!~

 
 
 
Dear Journal,
 
My MIL was admitted to the hospital yesterday.  She needs lots of prayers and/or good thoughts.  They are running tests to find out what is wrong.  She was throwing up and had fever and chills.  She was being treated for a bladder infection, but was not any better after finishing up that antibiotic.
 
I have been married to my husband over half of my life, as we will be celebrating our 29th anniversary on October 7th.  His Mom and I are very close.  She is like a second mother to me and I would do anything under the sun that was within my power to do for her.  She asked for me to tend to her so come hell or high water, I will be there for her as God sees fit to let me be. She is a wonderful Christian lady and I have learned a lot from her over the years.  I am very blessed to have had the in-laws that I have had.  Lots of people cannot say that, sadly.
 
Blessings!~

I'm Alive and a Happy Birthday!~

Dear Journal,

Just wanted you to know I am still alive and I have not fallen off the face of the earth.  My MIL has been very sick and I have been helping care for her.  She needs prayers.

My Mom has been fighting sinusitis for three weeks, so she has been really down with that.  She needs prayers too.

 

Today is my baby girl's 15th birthday, so Happy Birthday Baby Girl!  I love you with all of my heart and hope in spite of everything we can make it a good day for you.

 

Will write more when I have time!~

Blessings!~

Susan

Bargain Find!~

Dear Journal,

My daughter and I were supposed to go to the Cotton Pickin Fair with family visiting from Colorado and some of our family here, but I figured it would be rough on my feet because they always make it an all day thing.  I can't stay on my feet very long without severe pain because of the faciitis and heel spurs in both.  For more info on the Cotton Pickin' Fair go to this link:

My daughter and I opted instead to go thrift store shopping so I could come home when I got ready.  We went to a local thrift store where I happened upon a dinette set I liked and I liked the price even more.  She was only asking $130.00 for the table and four chairs.  I snapped that up!  We had to leave most of our big furniture in Colorado when we moved back to my home state of Alabama two years ago.  While I did get to bring back my antique dining table, the chairs had to stay.  That didn't bother me too bad because they actually went with another set, not the table.  I am not quite sure what I am going to do with the table now, but if my son wants it, he can have it.  I know he doesn't have a dining room table.

Anyway, I am quite happy to have a dinette set where the chairs actually match the table.  I saw some other finds as well that I hope to go back and get before somebody else spies them.  I hope to get to go back this weekend.

Hope all of you have had a great week.  I am ready for the weekend myself!!~

Later,

Susan
