Sunset On The Bay and GOOD NEWS ABOUT SANDIE/CHATTY CRONE!

We have some of the most amazing sunsets
over the Bay in front of our house.
It can be dark and dreary for most of the day
and just before sunset it will clear
and we will get a sunset that ends like this.
The color is exactly as it appeared
straight from the camera.

It started like this...
The sun still just a bit above water level behind 
a bit of cloud cover.
Slowly the color deepened.
And the sky glowed brighter still.
Then the sky darkened and the glow began to fade.
Another beautiful day has ended.

And HERE is my WONDERFUL NEWS!
You all turned out to pray for Sandie the other day.
Here is the note I got from her daughter, Kelly, 
last night.

I can't thank everyone  enough for all your prayers for my mom.  The doctors said they finished early and that it went well.  The preliminary report suggests it had not spread to nodes!!  Final report in about 5 days.  They said she did great!!  Now to the healing process.....

PRAISE GOD

Thank you for all your prayers!!  Kelly


God bless you, Sandie,
I can't wait to see a post from you again!
Thank you EVERYONE 
for all the prayers and 
good thoughts sent her way.

See y'all later today.
I have the Sisters Three here 
for a couple of days.
My Three Little Cookie Makers!
They might make YOU a special treat 
if you are
very, very good!
Ha!  THAT is gonna be hard for some of you!
Guess I just might have to eat
YOUR share!;>)

That is a gorgeous sunset! We've been having similar days with cloudy conditions all day, and then the sun appears just in time for a sunset! Are the girls going to be young business women this summer? I know you will have a good time while they are with you. xo Nellie

Tessa~ Here there be musing said...

thank you for capturing this beautiful sunset, and showing it to us. how lucky you are, to have such an uninterrupted view of all sunsets!

i have noticed this phenomenon... a dark, gray day... then about sunset, the sun seems to break out, "under" those clouds. and peeks in at us, for a few minutes. it also happens at dawn... sunrise will promise a nice day... but clouds come, soon after. again, it seems as if the sun gets to peek at us for a few minutes, under the cloud cover.. :-)

wonderful news.

have fun with the girls.

Thank you for those amazing photos of sunset at your place. I'm going to pretend that I am still a lovely rosy hue. (I have not seen a sunset like that since 1974.)

Thank you also for the good news from Sandie's corner. Praise God indeed! Still praying. I told her that I thought we'd hear from her sooner than she thought.

The sunset on the bay is stunning! God's painting for sure! Great news about Sandie. I will continue to keep her in my prayers. Are the cookie makers gearing up for another busy season? They are so cute; I would have to but all of their cookies!

LOVE those little ladies dressed up in their coordinating cuteness! And I am so happy about Sandie's outcome! You really did rally the troops on her behalf and I'm sure it made a difference. "Where two or more are gathered....."

Mary@mydogsmygardenandmary said...

Stunning sunsets - WOW ..... I am so glad that Sandie came through the surgery and the report looks good. God is good and I know she will recover soon.
The three sisters are so darn cute all dressed up with their pretty hair bows/flowers. Sounds like there is going to be a lot of fun in that kitchen making cookies. Have a wonderful weekend with them and don't eat to many cookies.

SavannahGranny said...

Diana, I have been MIA for some length of time. I had hear of our dear Sandi's difficulties. I will go back and read some past posts. I praise our sweet Lord that her surgery gave some good news. I am thinking she has some sort of cancer. Prayers going now for her speedy and complete recovery.
Thank you for your vigilance.
xoxo

Diana, I mean't that I had not heard of Sandi's illness.
