The sun is shining again this morning, and I had a good night of sleep....only awake for about an hour from 3:30-4:30 a.m. So I did some praying and made good use of my non-sleeping.
I did get a visit from Bonnie yesterday and gave her the memory book from the trip I made. She will be back in town next Monday for a doctors appointment, and we talked about maybe seeing a movie next week. I'll have to start figuring out what to see.
I said I was going to make Valentines, and I started pulling out all the things I needed and that took a lot longer than I thought it would...I wanted to stamp some of the Valentines, and going through the boxes of stamps picking out the Valentine related sayings and hearts etc...Well that took a really long time, then I started going through my paper stash, and picked out the red and pink paper and the envelops stash, and then a bag of foam hearts etc....and I ended up with a mountain of ingredients on a card table in the middle of my living room, and then the phone rang and I tripped over the leg of the table and knocked a 1/2 glass of water into the middle of all that. It was Aunt Loretta, and I made her hang-on while I ran to the kitchen to get a pile of paper towels and sponges to mop up the mess...but the good Lord was there and not one piece of paper got ruined....I couldn't believe it.
I talked to Loretta for about 1/2 hour, and by then it was time to start dinner, and I made a new recipe for chicken pot pie that Rachel Rae had sent online, and I had all the ingredients except the french bread she put on top, and I substituted crescent rolls rolled out flat, then brushed with olive oil and sprinkled with Parmesan cheese. It really turned out good. I'll make it again. Don't know if I'd have liked it as well with the french bread on top.
Anyway to make a long story shorter...I didn't make one Valentine...after the spill I just lost the mood. So maybe I'll go back to it this morning....I really need my granddaughter Kennedy here to help me....I miss being in Chicago making Valentines each year. Kennedy would always love doing crafts and we'd decorate the house and make Valentine place-mats etc. Lots of fun memories.
Didn't get many updates of my list of cancer fighters, but did hear from cousin Ginny that she is half way through her radiation after her mastectomy. She reports she is doing well. She is doctoring in Monticello, the same as Mary Scheiber, and the same group of doctors I go to at HHH Cancer Center and North Memorial Hospital. But neither of them have my doctor as he specialized in colorectal cancer.
Today I go and get unplugged at noon, and then this afternoon I get to go see Sheila Judd for another Qigong session....I'm really looking forward to that.
I read my cousin Louie's caringbridge blog this morning before writing mine, and he ended by saying how blessed he was by the caring loving people that God has dropped into his life. He commented earlier in the blog that he had had breakfast with a old classmate from grade school and how invigorated he was by the visit...and I guess people always are what light my fire or fuel my heart. And I too am so blessed by the caring loving people that God has dropped into my life. Thank you all so much. Love and prayers, m
