FEBRUARY BLESSINGS-COUNT THEM 1- 2 -3


There are three blessings
that have happened this last week!

ONE!
My friend, Sissie's son, 
Jeff (here)
has been on a prayer list
and many of you have
prayed for him and sent money
to help with his medical bills.
It appears that the open wound
at the base of his spine is healing
and
THE INFECTION IS GONE!

TWO:
My friend, Jettie's surgery
was a real success.
She came home Friday
and is almost pain-free.
She started therapy yesterday.

This is an old picture of her
but the only one I have in my files.
Thank you all for your prayers for her.

THREE:
I may LOOK SMART---
hahahaha-never mind---
but when it comes to monkeying around
with computer things..
well...
If the hat fits-wear it...
I finally figured out how to get
A HEADER WITH PICTURES.
However, 
I could NOT for the life of me
figure out how to get the 
'green' background off 
the top of my blog.
To the rescue~
(Life and Linda)
Let me tell you-
she is as beautiful inside as 
she is on the outside.
She did NOT 
make me feel like an idiot.
I felt like it was Christmas
and
just like Santa Claus
'then in a twinkling'
SHE FIXED MY PROBLEM
AND
she fixed problems 
I didn't even know I had!
Now THAT is a good FIXER!
So---if you need help--
you can check out her blog.
She has several tutorials 
to tell you how to fix things yourself..
and I could do SOME of them..
but she is a self-taught
fount of knowledge
and I would bet that if you have
ANY KIND OF PROBLEM-
she can fix it.
She also designs blogs--
and can fix any of your
blogging needs.
Did I mention she is 
VERY CLEVER?!

Another little un-counted blessing-
I was downstate WI 
on Sunday watching
The SweetCheeks play 
volleyball for POWER.
She is an awesome player
and in her first year on a team.
Okay- she 
WAS NOT WEARING THAT
for Volleyball but 
it is the only picture I can find of her
on this computer.

One of these days,
I am gonna have to find a 
WINDOWS 10 FAIRY
that can do for me/my computer what
Linda the Fairy Blogmother
did for my blog.

For all you others that are
COMPUTER CHALLENGED
I found one bit of really
GOOD ADVICE.
Y'all have a great and
BLESSED WEEK!

I am over at the VA this morning
and then helping someone
STAGE A HOUSE
for sale this afternoon.
Yay!!!!

  1. Hi Diana! Many blessings indeed - this was a great read to start my day. I am still navigating my new laptop as well. Yikes...I thought it would be easy, but I can't edit photos to save my soul or figure out how to watermark my pictures (because they are so good people might steal them without a watermark - ha, no...). Like you, I know I will prevail! Have a lovely day at the VA. Jane

  2. So glad to hear that prayers was answered for your friends. God is Good All the time!
    Now about that Windows 10 fairy, when you find it please let me know. Enjoy your date with the Vets!

  3. Diana, I LOVE this post for so many reasons. I'm so glad that those who have been suffering are healing. I'm also so glad you have introduced us to your Fairy Blogmother. I seriously feel inept at times. All I want to do is make some tabs under my title so people can click to other pages. I will definitely pay a visit to Linda's blog. As to the Windows 10 fairy? Nope, no fairy, but I suspect there is some ugly, warty troll under a bridge somewhere controlling Windows 10. -Jenn

  23. Diana, Sweet Cheeks is growing up so fast and she is so pretty. I'm very happy for your friend Jettie and I pray for her recovery. I am so thankful that so many have been reached through your blog and so many reached out to help my son and to pray for him. You have no idea of the number of people who told me they heard about Jeff on your blog. You say you are no angel, but I still say that you are very much an Angel. I also think that many others agree with me. I think I need help from the Linda with my blog. It's been pretty sad lately and needs an update. I'm hoping too, that once Jeff is stabilized that I can get back to blogging! You have a really big heart and I can never thank you enough.

    hugs,
    Sissie

  32. Thanks for sharing your wonderful blessings! It's so nice when prayers are answered and someone feels better for it. I do love how your blog has been looking! The picture header is so sweet. I want to update mine (I did do some tweaks myself) but I have such a hard time with change. I must keep Linda in mind. I am currently struggling with setting up another Facebook page that is not doing what I tell it to!

  45. Diana, Great news on answered prayers(mine too). So I've "known"followed Linda for years now. She was such a blessing when two years ago a doctor was telling me I had ovarian cancer. Linda is a survivor of it and in all things she is so wise and knowledgeable. Her table designs are wonderful too. I told her next time I come to her neck of the woods, I want to meet her in person. So glad she was able to help you with your issues on the blog-yes she is an angle. Boy your Sweet Cheeks is getting so grownup!
    Love you!

  48. All wonderful blessings.

    It makes me think about my own - our daughter and her fiancee are about to close escrow on their first home - I'm going to have fun helping her decorate. It is raining again and California really needs that rain and I have absolutely nothing I have to do today!

    ReplyDelete
  49. So glad to hear about these wonderful blessings, Diana. Our God is a good, good Father! Prayer is such a powerful thing and thank you for sharing these wonderful reports! I have heard others talk about being helped by Linda. If there is anything that goes wrong on my blog that I cannot figure out, I will most definitely go to her for help!

  54. Oh sweet friend I am so happy for your friend and the successful surgery she had. God is good my friend.
    Linda did a great job as she always does with your header, she is really very smart and a wiz I'd say !
    I'm sorry I haven't been around, but I will soon get even with your great posts, I've missed everyone. Life has gotten in the way and various invitations I've made. Hubby was 70 Jan. 28th, but I made a luncheon for 20 the 3rd. of Feb. It was a lot of work, which I was happy to do and cook, but I'm still exhausted. Plus the week before that I invited two American couples who are wonderful and live here now. They are retired early and have invited us twice. So I invited some more friends that spoke English and family and yes, they ended up been 12 too. There was more cleaning and cooking, although we hire a waitress to help serve the food I make, lol.. But this way I can enjoy the luncheons and the guests.
    Your little girls looks prettier every time I see her !
    Hugs darling.

  57. I enjoyed your post. It is always good to hear of blessings. I don't have a computer to figure out and I don't know windows 10 but I have plenty of challenges and so I celebrate with you!!!

    ReplyDelete
  58. So glad that you have figured out your computer. Isn't it wonderful that all your friends have recovered and are doing so well. You are blessed.

    WOW SC is really growing up and she is so pretty. Great looking granddaughters all of them.

    Sorry to be so slow in commenting, but I've been under the weather. But I do have good news - my kidneys are back to normal - Yea Yea. It only took 7 years to get them back to normal. Couldn't understand why I was dragging around and I need more thyroid so they are increasing my dosage and that should do the trick. I also have beat diabetics - so i have lots to be happy about. Now I will be the energizing bunny LOL

    Wishing you a terrific weekend and God has blessed us with wonderful rain.

    Lots of hugs,
    Mary
