This year has been a journey, my husband and I have been fighting his vocal cord cancer. Boy have I learned a lot about cancer, stuff I had hoped never to have learned like, nutrition's role in cancer, juicing, alternative medicine, pushy doctors, faith, friends who can walk with you and friends who can't, loss of control, anger and fear. This list could go on and on, but I will just let it rest at this...anyone who has ever fought cancer or been a primary caregiver, or lost someone to this insidious disease knows what I am talking about and can read between the lines of my post, you know where I am coming from, you are a kindred spirit. You too have found a toughness you never knew you had, you also have come to terms with a bunch of stuff you thought REALLY mattered and now you know does NOT!
A dear friend asked yesterday how I was holding up, I didn't know how to answer that. The best I could do is simply say, "Blind faith, that is what I am all about, BLIND FAITH!"
I haven't kept up on my blog and this is why, I hope to be back soon sharing my life with all of you again, but first we have to get through this bump in the road.
XO!!
All English Bulldogs, and all spoken for already and only 2 weeks old. Who knew Bulldogs were in such high demand???!!!
Glad we don't have litters like this, (OK, octomom not withstanding!) can you imagine nursing this many babies? Exhausting!!!!
Hope all is well with you, were busy doing this and that, and it seems months go by and I haven't blogged! WHOOPS!! Take care and hope to post soon... : D
I was doing a wish list in my head the other day and this is what I came up with...
I WANT TO EAT ALL OF THESE WITH OUT GAINING A SINGLE OUNCE, I WANT TO EAT THEM AND LOSE WEIGHT...HEY IF WE ARE DREAMING THAT'S A GOOD ONE!
I WANT TO DRIVE THIS PEARL CADILLAC ESCALADE, AND MY TWO DOGS HAIR AND SLOBBER WOULD NOT STICK TO THE INTERIOR OR THE WINDOWS...
I WANT NEW HEATED TILE FLOORS IN MY BATHROOM...NO MORE FREEZING FEET!
I WANT MY FRONT PORCH TO LOOK LIKE A PHOTO SHOOT...
WOULD LOVE TO HAVE THIS RIGHT OFF OF MY PATIO FRENCH DOORS...
I WANT THIS FABULOUS PINK DIAMOND ON MY FINGER!
AND OH BOY! I WOULD LOVE TO HAVE THESE GORGEOUS DUPONI SILK DRAPES HANGING IN MY BEDROOM...SIGH...DROOL...SIGH SOME MORE!!!!!
Hope you are all having a beautiful Valentines day, even those of you who don't have a partner, Valentines day is about expressing your love for best girlfriends, family members and for showing a loving attitude...a gentle reminder of the softer, sweeter side of this life we lead!
Make sure to do something really wonderful for yourself, or for another person. Pamper a loved one today, maybe just telling them how much you love them, a bunch of roses to a friend who is hurting, a plate of cookies to a family who has had a rough time lately. Just hold out your heart and hand in a gesture of friendship and kindness! IN A WORD LOVE, that is what today symbolizes, LOVE plain and simple!!!!
This kinda says it all in my craft room, my boys all call it the "pink room"...
A great way to see, and display all my bits and pieces of fabric...
Even the ironing board got a pink face lift, my BFF Victoria Lynn made this for me and I love ironing on it, makes that chore much nicer. The cork board I made to fit a frame I found at Goodwill, a steal at only $5 bucks! My 6' 6" boys do not go in my craft room, the chandelier hits um in the head (good boy repellent!), this room is just for ME!!!
This is an old hollow core door with legs attached, I then stapled yards and yards of pink rose fabric to the edges. The chair came from Goodwill too, I recovered it in another pink rose pattern...
If you have bunches of crystals, display them! I love looking at my crystal jar, keeps them handy too!
I love to put my buttons in glass jars, found all three of these at Goodwill...gosh, we have really good Goodwill's around this area!!!
Was up in my craft room enjoying the gorgeous sunshine streaming in this morning, so I thought I would share my room with you again! Hope you are all having a lovely week so far, I know a lot of you are buried in snow, I feel kinda guilty because we have blue skies, sunshine and the daffodils are already about to burst open.
Happy soon to be Birthday to me! My Bday isn't till the 21st, but, I was asked by my wonderfully sweet hubs what I wanted, THIS was what I wanted, I cried! And Bam, it was mine!!!!! PINK YUMMYNESS FOR SURE...
Been thinking about how much I love February, it is getting closer to Spring, I can garden again, Valentines Day, my birthday! February = love, pink/red, and wonderful!!! 
I adore these vintage images don't you? Such a sweet feeling comes over me when I look at them...better get out my Valentines decorations, after all it is the 5th already, YIKES!
Hope everyone is doing great, I have been up to my eyeballs in retired husband time, loving it so much!
