TAKING A BREAK.......AND WHERE IS NANA GOING?

Here, there & everywhere.
I am taking a brief 
BREAK FROM BLOGGING.

I am spending some time with the kids
before they go back to school,
even if that one knocked me down
in the bouncy house every time 
I stood up.

I am
visiting some kids that are
already in school,

and getting ready to take a 
ROAD TRIP
with my girlfriend of 46 years!
Sandy-sister-by-choice-
She might look all nice and sweet
but don't let THAT fool you!!
We met when we were mere girls
and have stayed connected all these years
in spite of the fact that we have both
moved cross country several times.

Just to tell you what kind of sport she is-
I bought HER her wedding dress
on the way to HER wedding.
AND she wore it!
You can read that post here
Her mom was NOT happy having to
do alterations at the last hour.
Pfffftt...I knew her better than she knew herself.
Who else could pick out a wedding gown for you
except your best friend.
Don't know WHAT ever happened to her
other outfit.
Good Lord- a pants suit of all things!!!  lol
She has a new home in a new state
and I am going to 
spend her husband's money
help her move a few things around
in her new house.

Just call us Thelma & Louise
without the bad luck 
and we aren't planning on driving off
any cliffs.

I will be back before you know it
with stories and pictures.

Have a wonderful few time while I am gone!!!

Love all you peeps!

One last thing--
I lost my blog list and had to rebuild it.
IF you don't see your name on my sidebar
and want it added
please let me know.
I apologize if I missed your name
on my list of 800+ blogs
(yes-I am nuts-thanks for asking).....

TASTES LIKE CHICKEN- FUNNY ON FRIDAY-AdNonsense

TASTES LIKE CHICKEN

Squintina's family watched
entranced
as she took her first bite.
Little did she know she was
eating
Ricky The Racoon,
the rascal that had
been raiding their garbage cans.

Dad had quite enjoyed using his
meat grinder to process him into
sausage form.

HAPPY ANNIVERSARY TO MY HERO (Oh Yeah-and to ME)

She wore flowers in her hair-
Yes she did!

42 years of marriage started here-
on the riverbank in Alva, Florida.
Whoop-de-doo
When did I get wrinkles and
when did his hair disappear?

sigh

The bride wore a Gunne Sax gown
and the groom wore a
BLUE LEISURE SUIT!
LOL

Then, we had to re-marry a few years later
IN A CHURCH
just to make everyone happy!

And where are those pictures?
Yeah- I am wondering that, too! 

Hope you all have a wonderful day.
I am planning on doing the same!

HAPPY GOLDEN BIRTHDAY LULU!!!!

Where has the time gone?

Weren't you a baby just yesterday?

You have always been such a sweet loving girl.
Here you are at Disney loving on Piglet.
I've always told everyone 
that they will never have to
wonder what you are thinking because
your eyes speak volumes.
You are growing up way too fast.
I can see the promise of the beauty
you are going to be as a woman.
You are such a wonderful big sister.
Kind and loving.
From little girl to 
being an awesome volleyball player
and then to 
Freshman Court last year!
Where has the time gone?

Don't grow up TOO fast, honey.
Enjoy this year of being 
FIFTEEN.

-Love you with all my heart-
Nana

ps. I'll be at the VA this morning
but thinking of you, Lulu!

I made up your mind for you.
Why you ask---Well,
Just because I can!

Just like the Motel Six-
You get the room I picked for you!

So here is who you are sharing a room with..
And some of those rooms better take up
the better part of an upper story
cuz there are a lot of you in one room.

at least once a month.

Oh---the choices I have in mind for you....
Forget Johnny Depp- 
bj (SweetNothings) has the corner on that market.

FUNNY ON FRIDAY-AdNonsense--DIAPER RASH MEDICINE NEEDED! PLEASE SEND PAMPERS!

Mrs. Severson hoped that Dr. Severson
would stop all this cloning nonsense.

Things were starting to get
out of control.

Bearing in mind 
the cost of milk,
and
the diaper bills,
they could hardly afford
to pay
 their mortgage.

Besides that, 
the neighbors were starting
to get curious as to what
Doc was doing late at night
in his laboratory
Mohawk carpeting-

PICK YOUR FAVORITE WAY TO STYLE THIS BARE ROOM INTO A BEDROOM

This is it.  
The BARE ROOM
A blank canvas so to speak.
Nothing grand or fancy-
just a little room with possibilities.
click on image for link
This is YOUR bedroom.
Forget your spouse's taste ,
or lack thereof,
Forget about pets and kids and real life.
This is a bedroom just for you.

Think of it WITHOUT the vertical blinds.
Ready to make a choice?
I tried to keep all the rooms
about the same size so that you
aren't trying to fit a great big room
into a small space.
Alrighty then-
Here we go.

The first 7 are all from 

#1
BASK IN THE SUN
A bright bedroom with sunny yellows 
and bits of blue.

#2
BLUE-WITH GRAPHIC ART
This one is more tailored and has lots of blue 
I think it has kind of a modern feel to it.

What is opposite of blue?
Well, how about a dose of PINK?

#3 - 
  PEPTO PINK PARADISE
It's bold and graphic

From graphic to a this-
#4 
RUSTIC RETREAT
It sports wood beams,
bead board walls,
and a four poster bed.

 #5
SPA DAY
Is a bit more modern with a pop of green.
It has a vacation like feel to me.

#6
RESTFUL RETREAT
 It really is a retreat, isn't it?
These soft blues are calming
and I like the florals.

 #7
SWEET SIMPLICTY
For the neutral lovers 

And the choices just wouldn't be complete
without a soft romantic room.
#8 
FIT FOR A PRINCESS

AND I had to ADD just one more 
Romantic Room.
#9
FARMHOUSE FRESH

So~There you have it.
Pick your favorite.
I will tally them up and let you know
which ones had the most votes.
AND
I'll tell you which people
you are sharing a bed with!

A SPECIAL PRAYER REQUEST-ANNE ROBINSON & GLENDA GAINES

I don't usually do two prayer posts
in a row.
I usually reserve them for Sundays.
However, 
asked me to post this 
and ask for prayers for her sister,
MARY.
This is the only picture I could find of her
on Anne's blog.
Mary is in the Jackie O sunglasses,
Anne is on one side and her Mom is on the other.

I am sending you a copy of the 
email she sent me.

Hello my sweet friend! You are so kind posting about all those in need of prayer. We are praying but I want to ask if you would please add my sister Mary.

She has been plagued with heart problems. She had a blood clot behind her knee. She went to the ER. They sent her home. The next day my niece Karla called an ambulance. She was unable to walk. She has been in the hospital since early this week.

Today my niece said they think the blood clot moved into her chest and she will need a procedure. They are preparing her for it and will do it at 7:30 A.M. tomorrow.

She is the only sister I have left. We have two brothers but my sister and I are so very close. She is 5 years older than me.  She is only on Medicare as she cannot afford her insurance since she retired.

I am so worried about her. Please pray and please pass it on for others to pray.

Thank you so much for the prayers
and good thoughts and best wishes.
I know that Anne & Mary
are both very grateful.
Posting this Monday night
and I will be at the VA in the morning.

Update:
The blood clot is not lodged in her chest.
They will let her go home in a couple of days
and they think the blood clot will dissolve
over time.
Please pray that is the case.  Thanks.

Add one more to the prayer list-
just got this from my friend, Jettie:

I am asking for prayer for one of my school mates, her husband died unexpectedly last night, her name is Glenda Gaines, and she is planning his service as I type this. We never know what tomorrow brings.

PRAYERS-Jill's Mom Passed Away Unexpectedly & Updates & Other Prayer Requests

Hi everyone,
This is a LONG post!!
Although I lovee being able to do this
for people,
I also dread it because it means
that someone is suffering.

My friend, Jill,
contacted me to tell me that her mom
had passed away very unexpectedly.
She says she doesn't know how she will 
go on without her.
Please pray for Jill and her family.
You might recall that Jill has some
serious health issues and surgery herself
not very long ago. (here)


ALSO:
Please remember to wing a prayer up for 
bj @ SweetNothings
as she continues on the path
of finding her "new normal"
after losing her husband, Bill,
to cancer.

AND:
 Leena-@ PinkCherubMoon
Her hubby Jim's funeral 
is this week and she is feeling
sad and lonely and wondering
what life means now.
They had just moved to
follow their dreams in 
North Myrtle Beach.
Many of you know:
 Our friend, Mona Duffy
passed away this past week.
Her family would appreciate any
love and prayers we can send their way.
She was such a dear, dear lady 
and we shared many emails over our 
blogging years.

And, last but not least,
please pray for Robbin's mom.
Her struggle with cancer is far from over.
It seems she takes two steps forward
and slides back one.
They just found cancer in the fluid
that collected in her lungs.
Poor Robbin is exhausted between
her job, taking care of her mom,
and monitoring 
extensive medical issues & treatments.

Edited to add:

Here is what Karie Jackson posted:
Thank you for letting us know of those in need of prayers. If possible could you add my grandson Jared Jackson he is in very serious condition at the University of Utah trauma unit. Prayer is powerful 
Karie from Marie's Chic Creations
(Karie- I don't have any way to connect to you- no email address
and your web site doesn't come up for me.
Please send me your direct email if you can-dianakos1@gmail.com)

If you are not a Pray-er,
that is okay.
Please send your love and well-wishes
over the airwaves to these families
that desperately need some peace
and understanding.

Thank you all so much
for taking the time to come here,
read this, and react in whatever way
you see fit.

Love to you all- Have a blessed Sunday!

FUNNY ON FRIDAY-AdNonsense - SORRY-NO SITTING FOR STELLA TODAY!

Stella had no idea
that the day she was supposed
to do her formal sitting
was the day
her hemorrhoid medicine
would not work,
but she gave a pretty,
albeit pained,  smile anyway.
