First off-
I want to give you an update on
Teresa's hubby (Magazine Your Home)
You can read the post about his surgery here.
Here is the only picture I could find of him
and this is when he was a young serviceman.
Anyway, here is the post surgery update from Teresa.
Toby is doing well, the doctor said the surgeries went as expected and they are optimistic they removed all the cancer. He looks pretty banged up but that evil cancer is gone. The next step will be to set the date for the reconstruction. We are tired, drained emotionally and mentally but so happy to have this first hurdle behind us. Please let everyone know that we thank them for their prayers and support. We are overwhelmed with the kindness shown by others.
Thank ALL of you for your prayers.
I will keep you posted as I get more updates.
I also wanted to give you an update on Ken,
the Lutheran pastor I asked you to pray for here
Please continue to pray for him and his family.
Ken has remained hospitalized for weeks.
He has had very few good days and more days
that are NOT SO GOOD.
Please continue to pray for them.
THE ANNOUNCEMENT!
I have reached 700 followers.
I didn't realize there were that many
OTHER CRAZY PEOPLE in blogland!
So-that means I will be having a
GIVEAWAY.
I will announce what it is later this week...
after I figure it out!
Many of you said you did NOT want an 8x10 of
one of these poses!
I guess I will have to find a
NEW PRIZE!
Oh- Sorry- That's not it- but you did get a
bit excited there, didn't you?
Have a GREAT day!
Will continue to pray. (The Mucinex Max helps my cough....thanks.)

Tessa~
Will continue the prayers for both. Glad Toby is cancer free. Tessa needs glasses...just saying. I would send her a poster size! Congrats on the 700! Kind of scary thinking that many people fess up about following you, ain't it? LOL- There might be a lot of nuts out here, but we are the good nuts. Enjoy the starbucks this morning. You have so earned it. It would be nice if you posted more baby photos and the boys, too, before you head for home. I miss seeing rugrats first thing in the morning.
ReplyDeleteSo good to know that Teresa's husband is now cancer free! What a relief. Sounds like they took a lot out of him to get it gone too. Poor guy! I'm sure he feels blessed to have a new lease on life now though. So sorry to hear about the pastor still in such dire straights! Life can be so unfair sometimes. We must all remember to be grateful for every day we have. It can be gone at any time.
ReplyDeleteHi Nana Diana, I'm so sorry for the people that you mentioned and send prayers their way. Wow how amazing that you have 700 followers! What an accomplishment for you! Wishing you many more happy years of blogging. All the best and I can't wait for the giveaway!
ReplyDeleteJulie
I will continue to pray for both of them.
ReplyDeleteContinued prayers for these families! And of course your followers are growing, you are awesome!
ReplyDeleteI will continue to pray for these sweet families!
ReplyDeleteSo glad to hear that Toby is doing so much better and will pray that he continues to do so. I do hope that God hears our prayers for the minister and that he is back to good health soon.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on 700 followers. I just love your post, your always so upbeat and happy and I can see where SC get's it from. Take care of that sweet new baby and yourself.

Will say prayers for both ot these men. Remember the person that worked with my husband. I couldn't believe all that she went through. They had her chest wide open for weeks. This was for all the infection they removed. They are doing chemo and things are shrinking then they will do surgery. Just unreal what she has been through Hopefully these guys will have some better news soon.
ReplyDeleteI wanted the car......he he.
Praying for both men. How wonderful that you reached 700 followers. You are an inspiration.
ReplyDeleteContinued prayers for all and congratulations on 700!!~~Angela
