WHATS HAPPENING FRIDAY
Wonder where everyone was today? Outside? On a ride? Doing what? Maybe like me digging in the dirt. Also I have been getting the area ready for the garden tea party my sister and I are going to do for the people that she teaches in Sunday school. It is going to be pretty fancy and pretty.
I am going to go buy some more flowers to plant in that area so it will be more colorful. And I have some big pots of red geraniums to put out and around.
I guess all of my mints died over the winter none of it is there anymore. I had choc. Mint, pineapple mint , spearmint, peppermint, …I love putting the pineapple mint into my hot tea. Yummy. So that is something else I have to get at the nursery. Garden tip for new gardeners when planting mint , know that it will take over an area pretty quickly , the best way to contain it is to take a big pot and cut the bottom out and sink that in the ground then put your mini in the pot…it spreads by roots and it wont grow that deep to go under the pot. Now if you have an area that nothing grows on and you want it to take over that area then just plant it and let it go it will take off and take over.
Did a lot of clean up work in the yard today. Tomorrow Joe and I are going to go find some stones to put around this pond that we are locating in an area very close to the house. Im anxious to get it done and all the little things done to it. Also fixing the small one out in the shade garden ….probaby wont get them both done tomorrow , wont even get one done im sure but we will get the one close to done.
Will take pictures when we are done.
SHEILA:::: I have talked to you several times today but sure hope it all works out to be able to come to the support meeting. We need to all keep Sheila in our prayers that the doctors can find out what is bothering her and help get rid of it.
Love you girl and want you to be healthy.
JANET:::::: really sorry about Melissas mom but hope she doesn’t have to linger too long or be in too much pain. I know it is hard for them to let go but it has to be done.
She will be with Jesus and who could want to keep her from going home?
Im so sorry that you had to put off your gallbladder surgery. Most people that have lap gall bladder surgery have no complications. And are fine afterwards.
More than likely within a day or two you would be fine with riding for 3 hours. I don’t know about driving don’t know what most doctors would say about that.
Yes our past lives make us the people we are in the present life. You cant change one without changing another.
Sure don’t know what happened to everyone today , I hope all of you are ok and are here tomorrow with all of your tales and stories of what happened today.
GOD BLESS ALL OF YOU

Come through your door!!! GOD is my ROCK! SUGAR
Hello Everyone,
Well Dennis had to go see his endocrinologist yesterday.
He was happy with where his sugars are at. I thought
his A1C was still high but he was happy with it.
If I remember right it was 6.8. So doctor said for a
diabetic under 7 he was happy with.
Talked to him about WLS and specifically about the
DS bypass. He didn't exactly say that he didn't think people
should have the surgery done but he didn't say he thought
it was a good thing for diabetes either.
He so much as said he wouldn’t write a letter for him.
Dennis has United Healthcare and the plan that the Boy
Scouts have, absolutely does not cover WLS.
.
Well now for the big news!!!!!
My granddaughter Sydney is graduating high school on May 18th. She is eighteen. She has a boyfriend that is twenty and has been dating him for almost a year. Well we were informed today that she is 5 weeks pregnant!!!
My husband and I are not thrilled about this because we would have liked
to see her be able to go to college and just be able to get herself established
and to do some things in her life that she would have liked to do before be coming a parent. Right now we cannot picture her as a mother because, she is a lot like other youth of the day where they have the attitude that “It’s all about me” and we feel she acts like she is 12 most of the time. We are
praying we are wrong and she will be grown up enough to handle the
responsibility of taking care of a baby.
Her boyfriend wants to get married but Sydney says she does not want to get married just because she’s pregnant. If you all remember she is the one that is bi-polar and was molested when she was little. So she is not mentally adjusted very well.
My daughter Tina who is Sydney’s mother has been talking to Sydney about the responsibilities of being a parent and how things were going to be . And she knows about this first hand because Sydney’s biological father (sperm donor) has never wanted anything to do with Sydney and for that matter Tina either, it was a one night thing between Tina and him. Tina was 18 at the time also. So anyway every time Tina says anything about them getting married Sydney says “Well I’ll give the baby away” so then Tina gets all upset. I told Tina, Sydney knows which button to push with you.
We are trying to make her realize that her child would not have to grow
up without a father as she did, because her boyfriend wants to be with her and be in this baby’s life, he grew up with only seeing his dad every other weekend and said he didn’t want it to be that way for his child.
So here Dennis and I are becoming Great Grandparents at 55 and 58 years old. Well we were grandparents at 36 and 39 years old.
I was 17 when Tina was born.
So I know this is long and I sure hope I can get it posted with out losing it.
Mel and Janet I am praying for your Mother and the whole family.
I know that the Lord can hold you up through these hard times that we
face in our lives. I know it would be a terrible thing for her to pass on mother’s day. Dennis mom was buried on mother’s day.
But I know from experiencing the loss of my mom 15 years ago that each
mother’s day is a hard day to get through no matter what time of year that
we lose them. I was practicing a song to do this Sunday in church and
I quit for awhile because I haven’t been able to get through the whole thing yet without bawling. Just know that I am praying for your mother and the family.
I'm going fishing with Dennis today and he's got the boat hooked up and ready to go. Everyone have a wonderful day!!
I will try to post again before I have my surgery
Love you all.
Life is too short to wake up with regrets.
So love the people who treat you right..
Forget about the one's who don't.
Believe everything happens for a reason.
If you get a second chance, grab it with both hands.
If it changes your life, let it.
Nobody said life would be easy,
they just promised it would be worth it.
Good Morning Missouri, Just wanted to jump on this morning and say I'm praying for so many of you... Mel, you and your family are in my prayers... such a difficult time, a time to let the Lord wrap His arms around you and comfort you like no other can. Am praying a special comfort and peace as you mother passes on to "glory" I can only imagine the joy she will feel as she enters paradise! It brings tears to my eyes to realize all that entails. Janet, I pray so many blessings for you! You are a fantastic woman! It does my heart good to see you live each day giving when your needs are so big yourself! Am asking the Lord to meet every need you have according to His perfect will.... physically, mentally, emotionally, financially, spiritually and every desire of your heart! Sheila, my goodness lady, my heart goes out to you! I'm so sorry you have been so miserable with this ear problem. I pray you are able to get this whole thing worked out and quickly... so sad you have had to suffer with it so long. Praying for your daughter and grandbabies too.
Vesta, I am remembering you in my prayers as you recover, I know everyone says plastics hurt so much worse than the WLS surgeries, I am praying your recovery is as quick and painless as possible. Traci, I'm sorry to hear you are so sick again, am praying that you will get the very help you need to get this reoccuring problem solved. A healing touch in your body. Praying strength for each day as you work thru this. Brenda M. will be praying your granddaughter makes the right decisions concerning her baby. Praying your surgery is a success and that if your husband is to have WLS God will move like only He can when things seem impossible. My husband has UHC too... it has been a challenge to say the least. Christine... am praying that your surgery goes ever so smoothly and you will be back up and going in just no time! Brenda N. I know you have company and are busy with them but hope all is going well as you are getting use to that new tummy. So many others to pray for also....don't mean to leave anyone out... I have to pray for each of you right when I read about you or this ole mind just can't keep up. I have gone to journaling all the prayer request because I can't keep up with all the needs... I pray a blessing to each one that reads this today. bec

Dear Jan and OH Peeps~
If you have seen the board there, you saw my post that mom passed on this morning. Im so glad I had that instinct to cancel my surgery this morning. Im just waiting for a call back as to when the funeral will be and all of that so I can get back down and help out with all of that. Waiting for Mike to call me-he is on his own turkey hunting this weekend. My mom already had planned on watching all the kids at her place all weekend long-so I dont have to worry about a sitter. Just worried about how I will get there at this point-so thats why Im waiting for the calls. I really dont want to miss Mothers Day with my own mom, you just never know. Im sure Mel is going to have such a hard, hard day-and yet-its HER first Mothers Day as a mother. How bittersweet is that?
Mel said that her BIL-Rosies hubby, Rags-he didnt make it in, in time. He is a truck driver and originally they told him okay and then they told him no-he had been debating on quitting! He has been married to Rosie for 23 years and so Theresa was his mom for 25 yrs and he is so upset. He didnt get to say goodbye. Nicole and her baby girl made it in last night from Minnesota-close to midnite. Im glad she got there in time-as she was very close to Grandma. Yesterday pretty much they had people in and out all day long. Very emotional day. I couldnt get my mind off it. I felt so bad about not being there. I just knew she was going to go before I could make it back down there. My heart was just breaking-all day long. I had people at the convienence store ask me if I was okay. Guess Im not looking so hot. All I know is when my kids walked in the door-They just gave me the biggest hugs (which made me cry) and were very loving and kind all evening. Thank God for that. Jon was a little wound up-but his sleep pattern was really off and he was so afraid I was gonna leave him alone for 5 minutes, so he was attached to me the whole time we were gone-going as far as wrapping himself around my leg while I would try and move. Not sure whats up with that-but he sure hated to see Grandma like that.
Im thanking God that I got to say goodbye. I got to tell her 100 times how much I loved her. I got to kiss her and hug her and love on her a lot while I was there-and that was nice. I didnt get to do that with my grandma-by the time I got the call she was going and got to Rogers Ark., she was gone. I did have that feeling to go down with her Weds night-so I am glad I listened to God and didnt put it off thinking I had more time or I had too much to do here. I knew I had to go. It wasnt open for debate-I didnt even ask Mel if she wanted me to follow them down-I just said I was doing it and not to wait for their other friends to call them back. I guess when your as close as we are-you can be a bossy heifer like that and its okay. (I mean that to be humerous guys, really)
My SIL, Aaron is going over this afternoon to watch Terrys dad until Dee (one of Mels other good friends) gets off work and goes over and she will watch dad over the weekend. Her mom is already gone and she didnt have anyone to spend Mothers Day with and she doesnt have any kids-so thats not going to be an issue Sunday for her.
Well, I am going to get some things done around here and start some laundry. I dont even know if I have a dress that will fit me for the funeral. I have the too big ones for the sale and the too small ones-but maybe one of them will fit since I havent tried them on in a couple of months and have lost more weight since then. Will keep my fingers crossed. Then just have to figure out what shoes-may have to get a pr of those, my feet went down almost 2 sizes-so I dont have any of my old ones anymore..
Just got off the phone with Mel. She is going to the ER-they think that her hernia ruptured or something....I cant even believe this. I cant believe we cant get through one thing without something else happening. So-Please pray its not serious because I know her-and she will NOT stay in the hospital any length of time with moms funeral coming up. To top it all off, Adrians 1st Birthday is Sunday....They are going to something low key and then we are going to have a big birthday party out here in a couple of weeks for all the April and May birthdays.
Well-Update-I am leaving to go down to Mels right now-Megan is letting me use her car....I will be home tomorrow night. Please pray for travelers mercy. Thanks.
Thanks for all the prayers. Love and prayers to all of you as well-Janet
Christine
