a sunny Sunday...

still have roses blooming...

despite the frosts in the mornings...

might even put some on the table for Thanksgiving...

sedum has the "fall" look to it and soon the snow will fly and cover it over...

Snuggles is out and about...

climbing trees, chasing leaves and bugs...

our plans for this next week are still in limbo...

should know more tomorrow after the phone call...

just ready to get this all done and over...

got some really good news about Zigs and Lazarus last night...

they have been at PetSmart in Mattoon for awhile...

and they have been adopted, by the same couple, so they will be together forever...

the only thing is is that these people are moving...

and I am going to kitty sit for anywhere from 2-4 weeks while they get moved...

and then they get their furever home for real...

they are signing the adoption papers tomorrow and paying all the fees...

so, just need to find out what they are going to name them and start using their new names so when they get to go home, they will know who they are...

if all goes well, they will be back here sometime tomorrow...

I had photos of the new babies last night, but they didn't come out...

little buggers moved too fast...

so I will try again today...

stay tuned for cuteness...

I need prayer...

I know you all can do this...

doctor called...

have to go in...

EKG not right...

they want it checked by a cardio dr before surgery...

called Steve and he's on his way home and then we will leave...

got my bag packed...

don't think I will be home tonight...

keep us all in your prayers...

gall bladder attack happening on top of it...

which, is what is causing it I'm sure...

too much pressure and crowding in the chest cavity...

keep praying...

Craig will keep you posted...

OMGosh! Its brrrrrr out there!

well, if you have been listening in this past weekend...

you know we were in the 70s the last couple days...

welp...

not anymore...

ok, so it doesn't really look like this...

but it FEELS like this...

ok, ok...

so it really looks like this out there...

and this...

but its 3 pm and we still have ice on the steps...

but the roses are still blooming...

and budding...

this is one tough cookie, let me tell you...

and I have one die hard snap dragon keeping up...

so maybe the 30 degree drop in temperature has something to do with this...

I stuck ONE little Christmas thing out this weekend...

or maybe its because I got this for Craig at Walmart on Saturday...

his new official cookie dunkin' cup...

whatever happened, it feels like frozen tundra in my neck of the woods...

but we did get the outside work done for the winter...

so that's cool...

the guys can put up the lights and stuff while I watch from inside...

but that will be later on...

DH seems to wait for a blizzard to do it in...

we did have a chance of snow mixed in with the rain last night...

so I pulled the curtains closed and refused to watch...

if you're scoopin' snow...

I'm sorry...

if you're sun bathin'...

I don't want to know...

Have a good one!

Craig's getting ready to head to Champaign for an Illini basket ball game with one of MY friends...

and DH is in PT right now and should be home before long...

a nice quiet night...

I think...

so I might be back in here to poke fun at you...

if you've been good, you can look- if not, well....

did you know that they make a sock monkey for ALMOST every occasion???

me either!

until we were shopping in Walmart yesterday...

guess who's going to the hospital with me?

won't Stever look funny holding him in the waiting room?

LOL

I so love revenge...

he's been telling everyone that they are deflating the POP N FRESH DOUGHBOY on the 21st....

didn't know he was so bad, did you?

ok, while we were at the clinic/ hospital on Friday the volunteer guild had a little Christmas shoppe going on...

yeah, I went shopping, even sick I can do pretty good...

and I bought this little angel for me...

she is call 'HAPPINESS'...

reminds me that no matter what, that's one thing no one can take from you...

you may give it away or let it go...

but you have the power on whether you have it or not...

I have chosen to keep mine...

in the last few weeks, events have unfolded that will change the rest of my life forever, either way it goes...

the doctors I had 15 years ago should have taken this fool thing out way back then...

but why didn't they?

HMO?

or was it God's timing?

of course its God's timing, sillies...

He has led me to where I need to be...

to the surgeon, doctor and staff there that will take care of this...

the ones who are the best care givers I have ever had, ever...

their compassion for my pain, my life and my well being is nothing like what I have had in the past...

they are working with me and not against me...

I have not had to beg for help...

not one time...

not from them...

15 years gone?

no...

15 years of being molded into the person you know today...

15 years of being crafted into something greater than what I was...

15 years...

Mosses waited 40 before being delivered from the wilderness...

yeah, if you are somewhere you don't like...

hang on...

and learn what you need to learn there...

you can't move on until you do...

and anyone, in any situation...

can either be a blessing or a curse to others...

I hope I have been the blessing to you...

you know, the best part about it?

I'm not finished yet...

not until I leave here...

and when it comes my time...

nothing here will hold me back...

I will soar!

Love you guys!

its a beautiful day here!

in the 70s!!!!!

having a fantastic day...

went to Walmart this morning for groceries and some Christmas lights...

you do know that is coming up...

got most of what we need for Thanksgiving dinner, too...

I did good, stopped at McDonald's and got a plain fish sandwich and that did just fine...

made a few more small stops and headed for home to put it all away...

rested about 20 minutes and then we went out to take down the Halloween...

store the totes, cushions in the shed...

furniture put up for the winter...

just the typical get ready for the snow thing...

still doing good and need to grab something for supper soon...

did not have the camera in my hand at all, so there's no fun photos today...

but I did get something cute at Walmart and I will show you tomorrow if you're good!

Have a great night!
