Thankful Thoughts and a Dedication



In Memory of Pat (Bailey Road)
 
She gave us so much beauty and joy on her blog.  I am thankful to have known her even though we neve met in real life.  Please stop by and leave a message for her husband Rick as he needs our support now as he mourns the loss of this sweet woman.


Hello - I've been absent from the blog for a few days.


Just to catch you all up...I had company visiting for the day on Thursday.  We had a nice lunch at Apple bee's and spent the afternoon visiting and catching up on each other's lives.

Friday we were up bright and early as Coleen was scheduled to have her surgery and check-in was 6:45 am. - She had her tonsils and adenoids removed. We were back home by noon and she has been recovering slowly but surely. - She's home from school for probably all this week as the weather here is nasty and we don't want to risk her getting a cold or infection so shortly after having surgery.

This morning we took her kitten, Pepper out to be spayed so we'll have another convalescent at home this week along with Coleen.  So while it's been a bit stressful and busy we have much to be thankful for.

1.  The OR nurse that took Coleen into her surgery turned out to be my niece, Krissy which was a blessing as she helped to keep Coleen calm as they took her in.

2.  The surgery went well and she's recovering nicely.

3.  For friends from the church who came by to bring her balloons, get well cards, Popsicles & ice cream.

4.  For our Veternarian who is so good to all our animals.

5.  The Hallmark Channel who provides easy to watch holiday movies that make you feel good.

Take care & have a beautiful day.

  8. So sad about your blogger friend. So sorry to hear this. I'm glad that Colleen has come through the surgery and is being pampered by friends and family. I'm sure that Pepper will enjoy having her there to cuddle with, as well. It is misty and very cool here this week, too. Keep cozy and don't forget to take care of yourself, also. xo Karen

  16. So glad Colleen is doing well. I spent some time this morning over with Rick who just lost his Darling. I can only imagine what it must feel like to lose ones spouse. I've been around those who have,, and I don't know if there is anything out there that can prepare us for that journey.

    So sorry about your blogging friend. Even though we don't get to meet some of the people we interact with online, they still can touch us very deeply just with their presence. They can still be such a blessing.
