Health Update--September 3, 2011

-
These beautiful purple flowers are growing by
the driveway at Kelly, Adrian and David's
house. They make me smile every time
I visit. They seemed to pop up all on their
own, but I'm sure the previous owner planted
them and now others are enjoying them.

So many of you are planting the seeds of
prayer for me to enjoy the benefits.

A week and a half ago, I asked that you pray
that Round 4 went more smoothly than Round 3.

I am enjoying God's answer to those prayers.
I am still very tired, but somehow, it is more
manageable. I know the "somehow" is God
answering your prayers.

Thank you from the bottom of my heart!
Four down, two to Go!

So thankful that prayers are being answered and am believing that ultimately our prayers for total healing will be answered as well!!

Karen, I'm so glad to hear this. I was just thinking today about writing you. Smell the flowers, and SLEEP a lot...both help. (And a little Blue Bell never hurts either!)
Love to you and yours,
Catherine

That is such good news Karen. You are over halfway done and the end of this chemotherapy is in sight. May God continue to bless you with strength and good rest when they are needed.

Sending much love!

Love Present from a Friend

One of my favorite things in the whole wide world is to receive a Love Present . The definition of a Love Present is a gift that someone gives you for no special occasion, but just because. My sweet friend, Claudia, came by the other day with the cutest dishes. She had found them at an antiques store and she said they just looked like me. Don't they make a beautiful display in my kitchen bookshelves? Thank you, Claudia, for the dishes, but most of all for the thought behind the Love Present .

Skippyjon Jones and Kohl's

I'm not sure if I should thank my friend Mindy for letting me know that Kohl's is featuring Skippyjon Jones items in their stores, or whether I should send her the bill for the items I purchased. I actually restrained myself (although all items purchased are not displayed in the picture.) There are many more Skippy Jon Jones items at your local Kohl's. Let me just give Kohl's  and their Kohl's Cares program a shout out. I am so impressed with their commitment to local charities benefitting children. All the items above were $5.00 each with the total proceeds going to charity. "Kohl's Cares thanks you for over a decade of dedication and hundreds of millions of dollars raised.  100% of the net profit from the sale of this item will be donated to support kids' health and education initiatives in communities nationwide. Since 2000, more than $180 million has been raised through our Kohl's Cares cause merchandize program." For more information, vi...

Bluebonnets

Texas Bluebonnets and Spring are synonymous! What a beautiful display of God's beauty! My friend, Lea, gave me a beautiful silver bluebonnet charm created by James Avery . You can see it by clicking the link above. I love wearing it because it reminds me of my roots. I still remember the Bluebonnet Song that I learned in elementary school. Bluebonnets, Bluebonnets, With your coats so blue Your bright eyes are shining In the morning dew. They say you're a dolly Offered for the rain And Texas wears blue Bluebonnets in the Spring. Anyone else sing that song as a child?
