Health Update--April 2012

-
Here's an Easter Update on my health.
I have had some healing problems because of
the radiation that I completed back in December.
My plastic surgeon had warned
me that this might be the case, and although, of
course, I hoped for no more surgery, I knew
it was a possibility.

On Friday, I had surgery to correct
this problem and I am now home and doing well.

As so often happens in my life, a
big blessing preceded this issue.

do some Easter shopping last Tuesday.
I arrived a little before 9 when they open
and went into the little "foyer" to wait.
A really nice employee of Mardel's opened
the door and said that the store wasn't open
yet, but that she was having a personal
devotional and wondered if I would like to join her.

I, of course, said yes, and proceeded to tell her
that I was scheduled for surgery and would appreciate her
prayers. Just then a man came to the door and asked if the
store was open yet. She told him, No, but that if
he would like to come in and pray with us, he was welcome.
It turns out that he is the chaplain of the
Colorado Springs Police Department.
He prayed for both the employee and me.

What a blessing!
Isn't God's timing amazing?

What a great story--I hear Colorado Springs is full of Christians, and this is a good testimony for your second hometown. Hope you are mending nicely!

Thinking today of all the photos we've made of our kids at Easter through the years....

Well, I am so thankful for this story and blessing, but upset that you didn't let us know so we could be praying. Of course, perhaps it is more my fault for not checking back with you during the week! I wondered where you were today? Hope you are healing great and it won't require anymore treatments? Love you!

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

Swing High, Swing Low

Jeremy made me swings for under the deck and his boys are already enjoying them. This is Aaron's smile face. Caleb's smile face. Wee!  This is fun! Learning to hold on tight. Don't you just love his shoes? This boy loves Sesame Street characters as much as his brother loves super heroes.   Since Sweetie is here visiting, she got to enjoy the swings too.
