I have only gone outside once, been taking the antibiotics, cold and flu medicine, vitamin C, Theraflu etc.

Thank you Meg.

It's Lunchtime for me


I'm short on sleep so I am hoping for a long nap.
I wish you a wonderful Sunday afternoon.

Wishing everybody a peaceful Lord's Day

I've been reading all the posts from the last week,
And wish I could reply to each of you....
So many are hurting or are ill,
And my prayers are going out for every one.
What a horrible time to be sick, at Thanksgiving!


Rus, I hope by today, you and the Mrs. are feeling much better!

TCP, what a horrible thing to happen to your throat! Hope the medication is helping!

JC, I am SO thankful that the docs didn't find a clot! Hope the swelling is going down, by now, and your back is doing better.
Is Nikki out of the hospital? I'm praying for her!
I am glad you enjoyed your dinner at the Cracker Barrel. They always do a good job, don't they?

JC and Meggers, I just LOVED the pictures of those darling g-grandbabies! SOooo precious!

Luvie - you got TWO cats? They are beautiful! Congratulations - and enjoy them both!

Diver Dave, I'm so glad that your family got together for Thanksgiving! I am sure it was a wonderful day for all!

Conor, you said 'the bird is in the oven', which tells me the whole family was there, too! I hope everybody left the table stuffed to the gill!

LTOS - I loved your graphic of "Lin-DUH" at the shore! And, here's another "HUG" for you, today!

WVNan, every fall, I think of you and the song, "Country Roads" - as W Va is SO beautiful in Autumn.

Gail, your whoopie pies need to be in MY kitchen! They wouldn't last a minute!

Lonestar, I hope you didn't come across any squirrels or cats for Thanksgiving!

Teenie, I must have missed what you did for Thanksgiving. I'll bet the family enjoyed a great meal together!

Geologist, I hope you and your family enjoyed a lovely Thanksgiving together.

Amy, I am also imagining you, Marissa and the rest of the Just family, sharing a day of Thanks together! (No Italian food, was there?)

Meg, I hope your back is feeling a bit better today!
I am sure you had an enjoyable time with your neice, and dinner at your daughter's!
I'm glad other's pitched in to do the dishes. That's the HARD part about Thanksgiving!

On Wednesday, my son, wife and two daughters arrived from California, and my daughter, her husband and three daughters arrived from Colorado! (She brought SIX pies from the Villiage Inn!)

On Thanksgiving, I took them all to breakfast at the Coffee Pot, where everybody got what they wanted. Then, for dinner, we all went to a lovely restaurant, and again - everybody ordered what they wanted. My son and I were the only ones to order the Traditional Turkey dinner - and was it ever GOOD! I also picked up a prepared turkey dinner at the market - so everyone could have turkey 'left-overs' the next day. They all devoured most of that on Friday! It was such a blessing to have them all here, and the girls kept the dishes done. (WHEW!)

They all LOVED Shanah, and played with her for hours!

They all headed back home yesterday. My son's family visited the Grand Canyon, before heading to CA, and my daughter's car headed home to Colorado (a twelve hour drive.) They all arrived home safely last night, and I am trying to readjust to a quiet house, today.

And, Shanah is STILL looking for everybody! She is even looking under the couch for them!

Have a BLESSED Sunday, everyone!

For some reason the picture doesn’t come up.
Right click the red ‘x’ and select “Show Picture” - then it will show.
Sorry about that - I am having trouble with tinypic - so I did not use it. :-(

Thank you for your kindness, Yorkie!

I think I like codeine. That’s probably not a good thing.

It says Guaifen w/codeine. I got up in the middle of the night to take some. Seems to be pretty helpful in dulling the pain. At the rate I am using this stuff, none will be left in a week. I gave up using a teaspoon and just take it from the bottle. Yes, like a wine-o! Oh my first attempt at a joke. Must be better, or feverish.

I have heard for years, that if you drink a lot of water, you will flush it out sooner. I haven’t had the flu for a long time, and my heart goes out to those that get it.

And, no - I do not get the flu shot. I don’t trust this government - especially sticking needles in me.

Hope you guys start feeling better very soon, Rus! Vit. C (as you said) is good, too. Prayers continue.....

If the codeine helps, go for it. It must be horrible to hurt when swallowing! Hope you feel better, TCP! I’m praying for you and for Rus and his wife, too!

GOD BLESS AND PROTECT OUR TROOPS AND OUR BELOVED NATION!






Amazing Grace
(Click)

By John Newton


Amazing grace! How sweet the sound
That saved a wretch like me!
I once was lost, but now am found;
Was blind, but now I see.
.
’Twas grace that taught my heart to fear, .
And grace my fears relieved;
How precious did that grace appear
The hour I first believed!
.
Through many dangers, toils and snares,
I have already come;
’Tis grace hath brought me safe thus far,
And grace will lead me home.
.
The Lord has promised good to me,
His Word my hope secures;
He will my Shield and Portion be,
As long as life endures.
.
Yea, when this flesh and heart shall fail,
And mortal life shall cease,
I shall possess, within the veil,
A life of joy and peace.
.
The earth shall soon dissolve like snow,
The sun forbear to shine;
But God, Who called me here below,
Will be forever mine.
.
When we’ve been there ten thousand years,
Bright shining as the sun,
We’ve no less days to sing God’s praise
Than when we’d first begun.

Listen, O isles, unto me; and hearken, ye people, from far; The LORD hath called me from the womb; from the bowels of my mother hath he made mention of my name. (Isaiah 49:1 KJV)

DEAR LORD, who suffered torment, agony, and death upon the Cross to free our souls from the chains of iniquity, protect and defend our troops. Guide them in the performance of their duties. Strengthen them to endure hardship, danger and deprivation in Your service. Let their efforts free the people of Iraq and Afghanistan from the chains of terror and slavery, foster a lasting peace in the region, and bring all to a greater share in Your Mercy.

Amen.
