  • half full

    I just can't wrap myself around a final post...not yet..yet if I don't it may be too late...but maybe not
     
    I think my glass is half full
     
    or I've turned into that ridiculous cartoon
     
    cat/dog
     
     
    I think Dave Glick is doing good

    Tuesday 9:49am via Seedsowers mobile

    Good morning again, Dave messaged to me that he had a wonderful night, I'm so happy he finally got to sleep well. He walked up and down the hall yesterday and he's been doing his breathing exercises faithfully, there's a buzz in the air that he might be able to go home tomorrow but no official word yet.
     
    and
     
    My daughter and son-in-law posted some pictures of Switzerland
     
     
    a room with a view
     
     
    I'm not sure what Nate was thinking
     
    but I know I would have been thinking
     
    dang that's a long way
     
     
     
    it's good to be young and able
     
     
    I kept expecting to see Heidi and Alp-Ohi
     
    in case you never read the book 
     
    Heidi
     
    You should

    I haven't been updating like I should...but I think Dave's on the mend heart
     
    these are updates from Beth's facebook page:
     

    They replaced the damaged mitral valve, all went well, and full recovery is expected! Amen!

     

     

    Good morning everyone. David is resting well , they were able to remove the breathing tube last night and that was a big relief for Dave. All his signs and counts are good and the doctor is pleased with his progress. Dave's sense of humor is in full swing, it's good to see him laugh again.

    Good morning everyone. I went home yesterday for a while did some laundry and played with Cider etc. I came back to Hershey in the evening and set to sit with Dave for a few hours. He's doing well, the doctors are pleased with his progress he's able to move around and they took out some of his tubes. He does have some atrial fibrillation and he has not been able to sleep well so you keep those things in prayer. Thank you for all the comments, love and concern and support. I so appreciate my family here. I love you all.
     
     
    speaking of updates....if you haven't already gone go to #WeAreXanga and support your local bloggers

  • Prayers Please

    It's been quite some time since I've read a Prayer Request here on xanga...
     
    This one is a biggie and comes from @SaintVi via Facebook
     
    for @ Seedsower and her husband Dave
     
    Please be praying for Beth and her husband Dave.

    Dave had a heart attack ( there is a history of this problem on his father's side) and his mitral valve is damaged.
    He is in stable condition but with this damage people can take a turn for the worse very quickly.
    They flew him to Hershey last night because one of the doctors on the team at St Josephs
    who does the surgery is on vacation so they sent him to Hershey because if he does get worse
    they want him to be able to have the surgery right away.
     
    Thank you for your prayers and love.
     
    I'm Praying Hard

    the sunset looking out my front door July 17, 2013

    it was really more spectacular than this

    even in the eastern sky everything was pink

    I should invest in a good camera

     

    speaking of investing

    if you haven't invested in xanga.2

    you should

    I love this place

    1. My youngest daughter sent this to me through facebook 
      I've copied and pasted this wonderful challenge to share here on xanga too....at least I hope it works 

       
      Momma- i think this will brighten your day!
       
      Love you! ‪
       
      it did brighten my day - and unknowingly I'd already done one random act of kindness today
       
       

       

    2. it reminded me of this song by Supertramp: 
       
       
       
      "Give A Little Bit"

      Give a little bit
      Give a little bit of your love to me
      Give a little bit
      I'll give a little bit of my love to you
      There's so much that we need to share
      Send a smile and show you care

      I'll give a little bit
      I'll give a little bit of my love to you
      So give a little bit
      Give a little bit of your time to me
      See the man with the lonely eyes
      Take his hand, you'll be surprised

      Give a little bit
      Give a little bit of your love to me
      I'll give a little bit of my love for you
      Now's the time that we need to share
      So find yourself, we're on our way back home

      Going home
      Don't you need to feel at home?
      Oh yeah, we gotta sing

       
       
       
      Sometimes just a smile is all it takes to make a persons day
       
      laughing
       
      ILYM

  • A summer poem

    @adamswomanback  asked about our favorite summer words yesterday

    I'm having a difficult time these days coming up with anything much to say at all...

    hence all the reposting...

    but 

    below is my favorite summer poem...I made it up myself

    it's from June 2011

     

     


    Welcome to Summer

     

    It's hot outside, 
    no ac at our house
     but the ceilings are high
     and have fans on them,

     the oaks shade us from 
    the hot evening sun
     but after about 4pm
     it gets pretty damn  hot inside also.

      We adapt well I think,
     we wade or walk or swim in the creek 
    unless there are fishermen, 
    like yesterday, there,

    we do not despair 
    cause we could run them off
    or go to the house
    and do something better

    we'll water the gardens
    we'll use the sprinkler !

    the grandson and I
    we're just such great thinkers      

     

      
        

     

     

       
      
     
       
      
       
      
      

      

    make a plan to keep cool 
    however you can
    sit in a pool or
    in front of the fan

    but if you have kids
    or are one at heart
    just drag out the sprinkler
    it' a really good start

    have a wonderful summer 
     
    Nash's first sprinkler experience
    he's still a natural

    Life is Good...
    Enjoy It All

  • Every Dog Should Own a Cat!

    edited ... I downloaded the photos (in a flash I might add ) cut the old copy and inserted the new, I'm not sure why the copied pictures didn't show for everyone...oh well whatevah


     say Uncle
     
    have you been eating onions? I love onions =)
     
     
    So I ran after the ball, then I chased a car,  and then I went and got the paper;
    hey, aren’t you  listening?

     
     Seriously, We did not touch the toilet paper  
     
    Wait a  minute, ain’t I supposed to put my paws over my eyes if you  hide? 

    Here, I brought him back; next time he goes  for a walk, you go  get him. 
     
    Hey Irvin, your ear weighs a ton and I'm  stuck. 

    OK, on three, we all roll  over.  
     
    Actually Rex, I think it's your time to change the  channel.  
    OK, I’ll be the doughnut this time and you be  the doughnut hole.  
    Don’t worry, Larry, they'll have to come through me if they want to take you to the pound.

    I've been pondering lately...about aging, people passing, pets passing, seasons passing...
               we had a guest speaker at our Baptist Womens group recently,
                       she talked about getting old...it's all relative,
                                    compared to eternity...

                                              ILYM
                                        have a great day
     
    p.s.  I pledged for my girls and myself...and I won cookies...homemade cookies....
     
                                             Life Is Good

    Happy 4th of July animated emoticon

     

    Freedom has its life in the hearts,

    the actions, the spirit of men

    and so it must be daily earned and refreshed

     else like a flower cut from its life-giving roots,

    it will wither and die.

    ~ Dwight D. Eisenhower
