My sister made it to the world games in 2009.

This is a photo of my sister who won a gold in the states games for the special olympics, she is now going to the World games in Boise, Idaho, in Feb. 2009. We are all so excited for her, she has over come some many things in her life.She is doing figure skating & from her I learned alot. You can do whatever you want with hard work & if your heart is in it. She is a great person & my one reason to keep going & keep fighting.
Good luck Pooter, I love you.

It's been a really crazy week here, so I haven't done my blogg. We have a winter wonderland here, we got snow over night. Looks so beautiful out side with it being on the tree branches, & the ground all covered in white.

I had to go to the doctors for a bone marrow test this week since my white cell count was elevated when they did my blood test. I go every other day for blood work to watch my white cells, until I get the results back. When I went yesterday for blood test they said they are up but no blast. Hopefully I am fighting an infection & not my Leukemia coming back.

We are planning on going to Maple syrup week-end @ my sisters farm. That will help get my mind off of things.

Have a nice week-end everyone.

We had a wonderful Easter Sunday. I cooked for my family,my girls, there B/F's, D/H's brother, his daughter & her family.I had company here until after 9:00 last night, I was so tired out but everyone had a great time.
I made the Easter Basket cupcakes, Birds nest cheesecakes, & they went so quick I don't have any left for us here but that's ok.
Hope everyone is having a great Monday, & that the week goes good for everyone.

Easter sunday !

Sorry it's after midnight but we had a great day. I cooked dinner for everyone & we had a Easter egg hunt for our niece here in the house.

Today is Good Friday!

Today is Good Friday the day our Lord Jesus Christ gave up his life for all of us here on earth. As they beat him & made him suffer for the sins of all of us , he asked the fathers forgiveness for those who tourtured him. Let us remember what the true meaning of this day is all about as we reflect on Jesus hanging on that cross to forgive us of our sins.

ISAIAH 53:07

I decided not to post what the reading was for anyone interested can look it up. It has to deal with what CC is dealing with, how even when the Lord was suffering he never spoke a word. We have seal our lips. & let the Lord handle it. I know first hand how people gotten to me & I have voiced what I felt is right only to find out others don't agree .
Since that has happened found it is better to keep my mouth shut.

Today is MATTHEW 20:28

just as the Son of Man did not come to be served; but to serve, and to give his life as a ransom for many."


To me this is a scripture that shows us all the Jesus was here to be with us as an equal. I would like to say that I am the way the Lord wants us all to be, yet being human I am not. I will do for others as much as I can , to me that is what makes me happy. I love to help people who don't expect it, like making the baskets for all the families who will be here for Easter, giving to the womans shelter, & making sure noone is alone for the holiday.

my blogg this today from the Bible: is 1John4:18

There is no fear in love. But perfect love drives out fear, because fear has to do without punishment.The one who fears is not made perfect in love.

To me what this is saying is we have to live our live in the truth.If we are to afraid to tell our loved ones the truth then it's not the true love that the Lord has planned for us.Love from the Lord you never have to worry about talking to the ones you love. Love if it true can give you the answer. They will be there & support you for everything you go throught.

Beautiful sunny day again, love days like this makes you realize spring will soon be here.
We went today to get the stuff so we can make up the Easter baskets for everyone, we had so much fun picking up everything & planning how we are going to set them all up.We have 8 baskets to make up so that will be fun for us to do.
Hopefully the weather will be nice so we can get the front porch cleaned up too & put all the baskets in there.

I received a picture from my Aunt today of my cousin who passed away 2 months ago.Looking at this picture I can see the feeding tube in his stomach (he tried to cover it with a T- shirt),& the I V's in his arm. I look at this picture & it's tearing me apart to see how he suffered the last days, that he couldn't even fake a smile.He was only 2 years older then me & that scares me too. I know there is a reason why the Lord took him, that we should never question why, yet it really hurts. I miss him so much we did everything together growing up, I can't believe he is gone for good.

I'll never hear his jokes again, hear his laughter, have his big arms give me that big bear hug, or smell his ucky cigars.God bless you Clark, & I'll always love you.

A Special Blessing From the Lord

We all received a special blessing this week-end, D/H's nephew's & his girlfriend gave birth to a 6 lb. baby girl, her name is Makaylee Rose, she was born Saturday at 1:15 pm. This is there first child & they are so young, but she is truely a blessing. They say she looks just like her dad.
They have been having a hard time since she was so uncomfortable with all the weight she's gained. We knew the baby would be here before her due date, she was carrying her so low for the past month. Her due date was Easter Sunday, she really surprised everyone when her water broke @ 3:00 Saturday morning.

Hope everyone is having a great beginning of the week.

Wow here we go again another round of snow storms, we knew it was coming so we did our daily walk early today . Looks so pretty outside like Christmas out doors. Makes it easier to deal with knowing it is the wonders of God.
Had my Aunt was here last night, she is dealing with her loss of her son, by staying busy yet she gets so tired out . So I made her go to sleep & I made her dinner before she had to go to work last night. I feel so bad for her she is so angree with God for the death of her son.I know the Lord took him because he wanted him up there in heaven.

I can't believe what a difference a day can make, sunshining out side again & it's melting all the ice & snow again which is great. D/H & I were suppose to have date night tonight but we have company here, so we are going to have it tomorrow night instead. We will have a nice candle light dinner, then we always watch" weakest link" & we will play the game LIFE after that is over. I really love the date night idea it helps us reconnect & that is what we need now with all the stress we have had.
Hope everyone is doing good today & planning a fun week-end.

At my wits end . doctors & hospital calling wanting there money. I don't have $45,000.00 in my back pocket to cover the bills.We are suppose to get a charity to help us since hubby has no medical coverage at his job, but so far no coverage & they are calling all the time wanting there money. This is our new debt limit , which we will never get out of.I can't handle all this stress anymore, we are fighting all the time & I am ready to leave. I am calling everyone yet I can't pull money out my butt.
To be honest I am tired & need my time without someone being underfoot all the time . Never lived this way, I always had my space & he had his. No more ! Here 24/7 I love him but I can't cry alone to get out what I feel.

Winter Ice storm here .

Started as rain, now we have sleet, freezing rain & ice. Roads a total mess yet we are safe & sound. Knew it was coming so have batteries for flash lites, cell phones charged, generator ready, & comfort food ready. Have a gas stove so can still cook if power goes out, a different day after temps in the 60's yesterday when we could walk without a heavy jacket. I am so ready for spring yet expecting an ne storm Friday, boy it better come soon.

Beautiful day here sunshine & warm in the 60's. Had a great day with hubby so really made my day. It was so great being able to spend time outside. We are expecting a ice storm tomorrow so we will see what happens.

Went to mom's & got everything ready for her new washer & dryer to be delivered.We had to move everything out & move it all down stairs. It was so nice being able to spend time with her, brought her some meatballs & sausage I made the other day.
I am going to be having D/H's brother staying with us starting Thrusday, he is having surgery on his leg for a cancerous cycts they found & he lives alone so we thought it be better if he stayed with us a few days to make sure he's ok after the surgery.That should be interesting 2 sick men here, but I know hubby would be worried about him being alone.

Getting ready for Easter as we celebrate the Lords rising, we will be setting everything up for our celebration at our church & the baskets I'll send over to the woman's shelter here. I will make a bunch of baskets for the kids that are there with there mom's, plus I get a big box, wrap it in spring wrapping paper & fill it with stuff for the woman at the shelter too. I know when I was there it ment alot to me when others helped so I try to do as much as I can to make sure they have what they need.
The Lord blessed me with a great hubby after going through what I did, so I have to give back & it really makes me feel good to give back. These woman are trying to start over after being abused, so I am glad I can do a little something.
