Just started chemo. Only getting one drug today, next monday get both. This
will take 90 min. Dont know yet if we r staying.

Thanks for increasing the font size.  I did it on my computer too.  Makes it easier for us old folks.  

That isn't a baby blanket is it, Emily?

That is such a good picture of Kandis Brown, for those of you who didn't catch the change in her name.  She is the girl who was killed yesterday in the motorcycle accident.  She's the one on your far right.  And yes, it came through fine, Trish.

Here are pictures of my quilt. I machine pieced the top and the front of the binding, and then hand stitched the quilting and hand sewed the back of the binding. The fabric is so adorable...I love the little turtles and snails!

We will be praying for all the request, Love u all.

Not sure if that is showing up for you guys. I am doing it from my iPad. I can see it but not sure if u can.

This is a picture of kandis, her mom, grandma and daughter.

I increased the font size to 16.

I talked to goldie yesterday morning. Dallas blood sugar was 700 and they think it triggered atrial fib. He is still having seizures and still in ICU. Gloria is having a hard time with the complications from her stroke. Junior is there also. She said to keep praying.


We are still sitting here waiting....haven't started a thing.

The quilt is so pretty, Emily.  Grandma would be sooo proud of you.  Grandpa too!!  I read the blog when I got back from church last night, but the name Candace Brown didn't ring a bell.  I've known her by her maiden name much longer...When we went to Orient Hill Baptist Church, she would come and spend the night with Janet.  Candace is my hairdressers daughter.  When I went to bed, Blain told me and I was shocked.  It was a motor cycle accident and she was riding with her parents and boyfriend.  Please remember to pray for them.

Has anyone heard from Goldie or Gloria?

Love the new look of the blog and the banner picture, but find it difficult to read. The larger print was more user friendly.

Will be praying for Danny today.

I finished my first quilt tonight! I will take some better pictures of it tomorrow to post. Just wanted to share! =)

Prayer request:  A friend I went to school with, her daughter was killed this evening on a motorcycle.  She was like 29 or 30 with 3 small children.  Her name is Candace Brown.

Love the tree, the folks sitting on it aren't bad either:)

I hear bullfrogs singing in my pond today!

Sisters, you all were so amazed by the Live Oak trees you saw in Georgia so Julie and I wanted to share these pictures of what is supposed to be the largest one in Florida. It is called the Cellon Oak and is just north of Gainesville, close to Lacross. It is 344" inches (29 feet) in circumference. A pretty awesome sight, I might add. Estimates place it at more than 1500 years old. There is supposed to be one on an island south of Charleston, S.C. that is older but the man who took the photo of Julie and I said he doubted it was bigger than the Cellon Oak and he had visited both of them. We recently had a fire here that burned what was the biggest Baldcypress in Florida. It was about 13 feet in Diameter and was believed to be 3500 years old.
Love you all and Danny we are praying for you as you go for chemo. Alice you are still in our prayers as well.

I do have some videos I'll post on Tuesday.  We go back to work today and work off Tuesday.  We had Pizza Hut pizza yesterday for Mar's party and have quite a bit left over.  Anyone want to stop by??????? LOL

For all you Pizza Hut Fans! YUMMY...Don't forget the iron skillet

birthdays!

 Also I better say happy birthday to Bobby and Michelle this week as I may not have a chance later on!  Hope its a beautiful day for you two to share!

Is this better?  I was just fooling around yesterday and trying different things.  I didn't like it either, just didn't feel right.  I was seeing if you guys were awake and would notice:)  Guess you did!

Love the birthday princess.  Are there any videos to go along with those?

Monica, when I was pregnant with Emily, Mommy told me she used birth control in the form of a ring, cant remember the name of it now.  Also some jelly stuff, anyway, she said it was hard to keep in place and always coming out!  LOL  Guess things have improved somewhat since then. 
BC or not, God wanted Mommy to have a big family, and here we are;)

Addy, did you change up the recipe or do anything different.  I hope to try it this week after chemo.  Dannys appetite goes to pot after we start but he does love cinnamon rolls so I am hoping he will like this too.

We are leaving in the morning at 9.  Be there at 12, and they will premedicate with nausea meds and all that good stuff.  He probably won't even start til 2 or 3.  Chances are we will have to spend the night.  Remember Danny in prayer around noon tomorrow.  He isn't exactly excited about it, but anxious to get started and get it over with.
Alice, Danny said he wished you all were close enough to share barf bags:)  or should I say :(

Marleigh, You look so pretty.  If I may put a caption on the second picture?..."This is supposed to be fun, I'm havin'...whatever!!"

The new look of the blog is pretty but I'm finding it is not reader-friendly for me.  I can't see very well, with or without my glasses.  But it is pretty!

David, we are having Florida weather here...Have only had 3 little snows.  Haven't plowed the driveway or used the snow blower but once.  Seems like we haven't even had winter.  Flowers are coming up and I'm ready to plant garden...well, I might wait a little longer on that.  We ARE gettin' ready to have new potatoes!!  We had some buried for the winter...Gonna fix them like Mommy always did, with gravy on them.  Ya know what else it's time for??? RAMPS  Steve, I will be coming up this week to dig me some...I'll get Mary and Alma some too.
