RVer’s come to Visit

 

It’s that time of year when the RV Convention is held every year and sadly I can not take our home on wheels and go spend it with everyone due to health issues (wheel chair bound).  It’s a wonderful ministry that I am apart of it’s one of the many blessings God has blessed me with.  Traveling in my home on wheels and working for the Lord.  I’ve been blessed to work at Teen Challenge, Children’s Home, Churches, & Camps around our great nation all the while doing serving and spreading the gospel of all that God has done in my life.  Even with challenges of health issues, God opened doors for me in this ministry.  At each and every one of the places some how I’ve been blessed to serve my heavenly father. 

 

We ladies had a good visit while the men walked around and looked at the setup for the home on wheels.  I think the men were impressed with the simple setup of how living frugal can be attend living in a home on wheels. 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Sparky had to be center of attention for a bit as he loves to put on shows for people and then he settled down and let us visit, we had to show them how he loves to still ride on my lap (he believes he is still that little baby) who loved to ride on my wheels with me.

Mary loves to ride on the 4 wheeler and so of course I had to give her ride on my new wheels as well, it was a great afternoon and I’m thankful and blessed to call these friends family.  The couples who came to see me where …. Jackson & Anna, Tommy & Dianne, Benny & Carol, Larry & Audrey, Archie & Carol and Mary.

As you can see it just wasn’t Sparky and I who enjoyed their company, the dogs were happy to see them as well.  It was a great day but I have to admit I was exhausted and spent the rest of the evening resting up.

Happy Anniversary!

Happy Anniversary to my husband!  32 years ago today we said “I Do”  We’ve have shared tears of Joy & sadness, we’ve had good and bad times, we’ve weathered many storms through the years and battled personal & health issues.  But the one thing through all the years and all the good and bad times is our Love has remained faithful and true!  No matter what life has thrown our way we have weathered it all and remained standing together as one!  We are blessed to have the faithfulness and love that God has blessed us and together we love and worship our heavenly father who blessed us with the Love for one another.  I couldn’t have received a better gift from God than the gift of being your wife.  I am beyond blessed to call you my soul mate, lover and best friend.  Happy Anniversary honey and I look forward to many more years of being your wife.

 

Home from Surgery

On May 4th I had my complete hysterectomy due to cancer and genic genes.  I spent the night over night in the hospital and I’m so happy to be back home in my own bed!  

I decided to spend a bit of time outside enjoying the warmth and a bit of sunshine.  As you are aware it’s been a ruff year for me fighting health issues.  My entire winter has been spent mostly recovering from surgeries and health issues.  I have one more surgery scheduled for June 23rd and I pray it will be the last and our lives can finally turn around get some normal to them without running back and for to doctors and treatments.  I am doing pretty good considering what all my body has been through.  My summer looks to be spent recovering from surgeries but I’m beginning to see the end of the tunnel and hopefully that is daylight looking through the end of the tube. 

My baby says “I Do”!

It’s hard to believe that my baby is 27 years old and is just now finally getting married.  It’s hard to believe how fast time flies and they grow up into young men.

No matter how grown he is .. of course he will always be Momma’s baby!  I am proud of the man he has become and I’m happy that he has finally decided after 7 years of being with the girl who stole his heart to make it official.  I’m proud to welcome our new daughter Kelsey into the family although she has been apart of the family from the very beginning.

They chose to get married near the home that my children were born and raised in until adulthood.  Yes your seeing correctly they got married on a boat!  It was the perfect weather for a outside ceremony!

Congrats Gabe and Kelsey, may you have many years of happiness and joyful years together as man and wife. 

 

Our family picture all except our grandson was missing that day it would have been a perfect family picture but I’m still proud to say this is my family and I’m proud of them.

Happy St. Patty’s Day!

 

Today is St. Patty’s Day and the sunshine and warmth have disappeared.  It’s a blistery day!  The wind is blowing  and the cold has returned  

I found this online and it really fits how I feel ..

I’ve spent my entire day in bed trying to recover.  I still have a Ouchy tooth.  But I’m still wishing you all A …

 

Sunshine and Warmth!

This past week has been gorgeous weather but I’m sick and stuck in bed! I did get a few days that I could get a walk in.  On Tuesday I had to visit my dentist as I have a tooth ache and of course it couldn't be pulled that day so I had to reschedule for April 28th, Yep you read that right unbelievable! I woke up Friday morning and I had a very swollen jaw! I ended up going to the dr and getting test ran to see where all the infection had gone.  Yep, it had spread to my sinus cavity and glands.  So more medication, bed rest and eating soft foods was the orders.

 

Since we’ve had beautiful weather I’ve been enjoying it from within   I tried sitting outside to enjoy some of the fresh air but the minute the wind hit my jar instant pain so it was back indoors and so I left the front door open and enjoyed the sunshine from a laying position. 

I’ve been eating soft foods and so I’m sure that the scales is going to reflect it soon   But I’m not  on a diet, I’m learning to change my life style and so as with all things the good comes with the bad.  Right now I’m doing well to eat things, so mac and cheese, ice cream and yogurt and cottage cheese with chicken noodle soup have been big in my food intakes.  Anything that will fill the tummy and keep the jaw from hurting!

March came in like a Lion!

March came in like a Lion and I’m so hoping that March will go out like a Lamb!  We got more snow and cold temps the first of March!  I can not express how much I am so ready for Spring, Sunshine and warmth!  I have spent my entire winter snuggled up inside and most of it has been spent recovering.  I am happy to announce that I have finished the fillings and now I have to wait a certain amount of time before my expanders can be removed and my implants installed. A tentative surgery date to finish up my breast is set for June 22nd.  It’s been a long & painful recovery but I’m just thankful that as of now my breast are cancer free!  I will have yearly checkups to make sure that no masses or cancer returns. 

On another note of health issues … My hysterectomy has been moved up from June to May 4th!  New cancer cells have been found but on a good note they are not attached to a blood supply or no masses.  I am starting another round of treatment until I can get my surgery to remove my female organs.  I am dreaming of being able to head south next winter.  Florida beaches are calling my name.
