“Homemade Furniture from My Wonderful Children…. love and gratitude

Dear Reader:

The kitchen table and chairs came yesterday in boxes and Tommy assembled it all…. my kitchenette- so fortunate to have such talent among my children and such generosity of time with their busy schedules to put it all together.

Two nights and days in my new home and still busy, busy busy…besides lots of medical visits -three different nurse/ therapists in the room yesterday!

The only “downer” -no hot water in the bathroom or kitchen… maintenance man called-hope he gets here tomorrow !

But all the large boxes of furniture that came yesterday were put together piece by piece by Tommy and Mandy! Here are some more results!

Everyday …more surprises arrive … Mandy and I went to Publix yesterday to pick up” doo-dads” and fill the cabinets with snacks and sandwiches!

And you friends and readers keep my faith in a future …alive and strong!

💗💗💗💗💗💗💗💗💗💗💗💗💗💗💗💗

So until tomorrow… it’s time to let the spirit of Christmas in my new home!

The Love of Family, Favorite Team and Friends

Dear Reader:

Most of yesterday my family ( in their mother’s new abode) was busy… everyone but me (I wasn’t allowed) -busy moving furniture and all kinds of things-Started working early in the day for the simple fact that this family loves their Clemson Tigers! Big game last night…. and all day more Christmas decor from Susan and others-I was allowed a sneak peek and was filled with love and genuine gratitude!

Then I was invited to Tommy and Kaitlyn’s to watch the game at their house spending the night.

And a new FLOORLAMP! Thanks Kaitlyn!

And so tomorrow …love is all around!!!

Rutledge started the gathering with a word of prayer-( ” I am beginning to think Rutledge was born to be a preacher man! ”

But it was during the opening prayer when a phone rang that needed immediate attention . All of a sudden a sweet potato casserole in the oven was smoking! It was on fire with smoke circling and attempts to put it out extremely difficult!

Here’s when real character evolves/within a person you laugh… hysterically and all is right with the world!

Preacher Boy!
Eloise blew the casserole out and saw A

started gulping down the great flavor!

Angels do not pray but BUT they never cease to PRAISE!

Rutledge and kissing

Love you all! Off to to new new places

Miracles

For Miracles…

I found this blog post in Becky’s drafts and wanted to publish it for all to read.

Dear Reader:

This Thanksgiving …presents special circumstances … the kind that catches one off guard and forces the deepest of self-evaluations.

This Thanksgiving elevates Hope, Faith, and God’s eternal love. I know God is with me and as long as I keep giving God all my sacred gratitude and love in return… no matter how history records the stats at the end of my life…or whenever … that arrives… I will never be alone!

Look at this beautiful ( my favorite color yellow) prayer shawl Anne made and gave me. ) !So special!

Within the next three or four days I will begin moving in with the help of my family new decorations and furnishings 😌

So Father lead me to my final earthy home until I join my Heavenly Home!

Close to Moving…

Dear Reader:

Moving Day is getting closer and will always mark an unique memory around Thanksgiving!

I was met at my old home on Rainbow Road with friends Anne and Kathy. Tommy and Walsh were starting to cleanout… obviously emotions were scattered -from Summerville on the rainy day.

Kaitlyn , Tommy, Santa and the ” boys.” Christmas photo!

Anne, and Kathy met me at the house and Anne re-told our group the last Christmas story I told the Christmas Eve congregation !

In the meantime it started drizzling on the front porch harder…but we hung in there and had a wonderful time!

Tommy and Kaitlyn’ Law Office!

So until tomorrow… I want to accept a different perspective of positive change and add to my emotional and spiritual change-make the most of life! let God lead me on this new path!
