What A Past Few Days!

We make plans and so quickly everything changes...Saturday morning I went for a hair trim and planned to return and get busy house cleaning, ironing and packing for a trip that we were to leave on Sunday afternoon for Vincennes, Indiana...

When I returned home Edward was sitting in his recliner in the den...I asked, "are you sick?...he replied,"I think I had a heart attack but I feel fine now." Awhile later he decided we needed to go to the ER. He was monitored and admitted late that afternoon. On Monday he had a Nuclear Stress Test and Tuesday he had a heart catherization and 5 stents. He spent the night in ICU and we came home today....He had never had a heart problem..

We are so thankful that we were not enroute or even at our destination when this happened. Edward has had two very serious surgeries and our hospital has all his records and our surgeons are familiar with all his problems...

Our church family, friends and family rallied around us and surrounded us with love, prayers, food and everything we needed...God is so good...an ever present help in time of trouble.

We covet your prayers, too.....

Give away from Sandi.....Six things about me....a busy summer....

The first thing I saw when I opened my package...and
I am certainly enjoying every delightful surprise.......


Back in June I was delighted to win Sandi's giveaway...
We were out of pocket for several days so I'm just now showing the beautiful items contained in my package.....do visit Sandi...she has a gorgeous blog and you will certainly enjoy all the interesting posts....The theme of my 'win' was birds....vintage sewing things...name tags....

Beautiful laces, bias tape, vintage buttons...
Beautiful bird name tags....and a sweet note from Sandi
A package of nest of eggs napkins...
Gorgeous egg soap.......

Many thanks to you Sandi for making my day.....
My pictures don't do justice....I'm sure it's me and not the new camera.

Along about the same time a fellow blogger, Betty, asked me to tell Six Things About Myself .....I've done this previously but it has been quite awhile back so here goes....

1. Most importantly, I strive to live each day to glorify my Savior. Many days I feel that I've been a failure but each new day brings new opportunities and a new beginning.

2. I took Karate many years ago and enjoyed it immensely.

3. Out of my five siblings four have died of cancer, the fifth is in remission and my mother died of cancer also...

4. I do not eat eggs...I cook with them but I don't eat eggs as eggs...

5. I have never flown in an airplane...my husband traveled and each time I would decide to accompany him just prior to our leaving there would be a plane crash .....I hope Edward and I will visit our friends in Wales sometime in the future...

6. I began playing the piano in church when I was about 12 years old...music is manna to my soul...

An one extra:

My touchstone is to gaze up into the blue sky with the fluffy white clouds each day...that re-assures me of my Heavenly Father and that He loves me...and you.....

I am not tagging anyone in particular so feel free to participate...please leave a comment if you do so I can learn more about YOU.......

We've had a busy summer as all of you have I'm sure. Sorry I've been so slack in posting the past months. I hope to do better.
