update...

Craig called...

bursitis and they gave him some meds in the er...

and they are picking up other meds at Walmart and will be home...

follow up with his dr on Monday...

its in the hip, so no moving around for awhile...

thanks for praying!

Prayers for my guy...

not been a good couple of days here...

and Craig just left with his dad for the ER...

severe back pain and he broke out in a cold sweat this morning trying to go 5 steps...

stubborn, no ambulance...

I have been down the last 2 days...

I got dressed to go with them, but it took all I had to do that...

so handed Craig the cell phone, cash, insurance cards and sent them on their way...

I thought he had thrown out his back, but now this morning, not so sure that's it...

could be appendicitis...

so, better to know...

keep us all in your prayers...

jingle bells...

our oldest son, Doug and his gf Paula were here for Sunday dinner...

made meatloaf, green beans and potatoes and cole slaw...

and we opened some presents...

Paula will be with her family on CHRISTmas day...

this is what they found for me...

a sweet little primitive angel...

which I love...

complete with rusty heart and wings...

and a vanilla cookie candle, my favorite smell...

and then today I got this in the mail from a dear blogging sistah...

she is one of a kind and I love her dearly...

I am not sure if you all know this or not...

or even if she knows this...

but butterflies are the symbol for fibromyalgia...

got things lined up to do the next couple of days...

Craig just left with 2 critters in the cat hauler...

on their way to their furr ever home...

Myra and Buckus...

mother and son...

a little bitty girl only had one wish for CHRISTmas...

a little orange kitty...

and guess who had one...

Craig works with the lady and he is meeting her in town in about half an hour...

so, there's going to be a happy little girl in a bit...

that leaves us 4 kitties and a dog...

enough for us...

Lester and Hermie will stay with us...

Craig works tomorrow until 8pm...

he will swing by and pick up his brother after work and then we will all be together for CHRISTmas eve and CHRISTmas...

the boys want to open presents CHRISTmas eve, when they get here...

then we will all cook the next day...

well, Lester wants to cuddle and won't leave me alone...

so I guess its time to get off of the computer...

Merry CHRISTmas!

prayers, please...

our neighbor passed away this morning from cancer...

if you could remember his family in prayer...

it would be so appreciated...

but we need prayers for his granddaughters, too...

Tori, the one who so bravely fought cancer and had a foot amputated...

is going in for a lung biopsy in the morning...

there are spots...

and some are glowing...

it could be cancer again...

and her sister with Crohns is having a transfusion tomorrow also...

the family is coping...

there is a peace to them all...

but they so need divine help to get through all of this...

this is my request for today...

remember them in your prayers this weekend...

welcome to our temporary winter wonderland...

went to bed with it snowing and sleeting and woke up to things like this happening all over town...

our bushes were sure hanging low...

I think they might be depressed...

took a few photos is a bit under statement...

more like a hundred...

it was a very wet, heavy snow and it clung to everything...

you know, if you are going to get it...

that's the very best kind to have...

so while I was waiting for it to quit making white outside...

I took some photos of what I played around with the night before...

I had one small tub and a basket of CHRISTmas to put out...

and put out I did...

so this is how this is going to roll this year...

not too much, just enough to make it fun...

and it won't be a major job putting it all back in a couple weeks...

yeah, can you believe that?

just a couple of weeks and this will all be over again...

there's not enough time between thanksgiving and CHRISTmas for me...

anyhoo...

here is outside again...

and I rode with DH up to get the mail and stop by the store...

not too bad and it was above freezing, so it was warmer than its been all week...

so I got to play in the snow and take lots of photos...

that's one serious farmer...

and back home to the roses...

shh....

they're sleeping...

have a wonderful day...

and count your blessings...

;)
