The FIGHT is ON !

our wonderful friend, Debbie at the lakehouse needs every single prayer...

Laurie, from Heaven's Walk, posted an update on her...

she has been diagnosed with uterine cancer...

among other things...

go check out Laurie's post...

it is inspirational...

and explains more...

so, grab this button and post it on your blog until this fight is won!

Praying for a COMPLETE HEALING!

GOD ANSWERS PRAYERS!

Laurie also posted an address to send cards...

the computer makes Debbie sick so she needs cards in hand!

Blogging friends...

are the best support group ever!

I took a really long nap...

and when I got up and checked in here...

the comments were the best...

I was trying to eat my potato soup again...

and almost snorted it through me nose!

thanks for the funny thoughts...

when I was first diagnosed...

they handed me a list of support groups...

I tried them out...

but these people were too depressing for me...

they had given up...

God had a better idea...

He surrounded me with the most positive...

most energetic...

most prayerful people...

they kept me LIFTED...

whatever you are going through...

and even if you aren't having to face something different...

surround yourself with positive people...

we all feed off of each other...

and with so many here...

we are not all down at the same time...

the ones who are up grab the hands of the ones who are down...

and lift them right back up there...

Rebecca and I were talking about how blogging is the same idea of the old quilting bees...

it's where we can gather today...

well, off for another shower...

everytime I get up to walk somewhere...

little Moses just parks his butt and cocks his head sideways...

I know he can't figure it out...

I'm just glad the guys haven't youtubed me yet...

how to go from 5'2" to 4'7"...

I have my August post to do tonight...

so check back in...

Where time stands still...

in a garden in winter...

most of the time...

someone forgot to tell these dianthus to go to sleep...

the rest knew what to do...

seed pods waiting for warmer weather to drop...

they feed the birds in winter...

and they look cool...

down to 15 last night and up to 22 now...

frost is still on the windshields...

the guys made chili for them and I have potato soup...

a train in coming through and the football game is on...

I haven't been on much the last few days and the trees are still up...

I think Craig and I can get them down and all the stuff put away while DH is at work this  week...

it's nice when DH gets a 3 day weekend, but I get my days mixed up when he does...

thinking we have 2 Sundays...

the cake is really good...

Mr Wiggles sat on the lid last night and now the middle is stuck to the top of the lid...

but we will just scoop it off and throw it back on...

good thing we put the lid on it...

they guys have really pitched in and got some cleaning and laundry done this weekend...

they have also been busy taking care of me...

I wasn't going to post this...

but I have not been able to sit up very much the last 3 days...

I had 3 boils come up all at one time...

2 on one thigh and one on the other...

I have been walking like JOHN WAYNE...

2 have opened and waiting for the other...

they have been helping me with showers and bandages...

sometimes 3 a day...

the doctors say I am prone to them, but have no idea why...

I have to watch for streaks...

some have gone into blood poisoning before...

but it's been 13 months since I had to go the ER for them...

so that's better...

I found a wonderful home remedy online...

HONEY...

it kills bacteria and it draws as well as killing anything on the surface...

it gets under the skin and kills bacteria...

it works better than the antibiotics they usually give me...

and it only takes 3 days...

we use it for all ouchies now...

and it heals it right up...

we have also been taking it as soon as we start a sore throat...

and I used it this fall for my allergies...

my friend found some that was gathered locally and brought it to me...

it worked for that, too...

well, I have been sitting long enough...

back to bed until this one pops...

I do know one thing...

I'm too short to make a good cowboy...

Looking back...July 2010...

this is going to be a long one...

from literally hundreds of photos...

I limited it to 38...

July is the best month...

so many things happening in the garden...

the trees are so full and the grass was so green...

blooms are everywhere...

fresh veggies from the garden...

Doug had come back home for awhile...

this storm went right over us...

and this HEART kept rotating...

new use for old things...

a prairie sunset...

ahhhh...

ice cream sandwich, reeses cup and butterscotch topping...

see the 2 swirls?...

yeah, we were really watching this one...

Bebe...

a redo....

check this out...

my 3 stooges...

more food...

hungry yet?

fresh picked black berries...

a farmer's breakfast...

eggs, sauage patty and links, hash browns and a biscuit with gravy on top...

my tea party...

blooms from the garden...

fresh corn on the cob...

all grown here..

greenbeans and tomatoes...

BLT...

one of DH's funny faces...

he has many...

and he is so good at rolling his eyes!

years of living with me I guess...
