Nudge week 3 and....Other Interesting Tid Bits!!

 Hello Dear Friends,

I feel like I have been away a very
long time from All of you!!

What have I been doing??

Taking care of my Mom has
been on the top of the list.
My Mom lives with me and
my hubby and she is 90yrs.
Dr. appointments...cleaning
cooking, laundry.....A new
caregiver comes once a week
now to help out with her bathing
etc. So glad we have her!!

A neighbor of ours lost his wife
about a month ago and so my husband
and I visited him and also have bought
a few things from him as he is going to
live in an assisted living home the end of
this week. He is such a lovely man
and so was his wife. Marilyn was a
very crafty lady...ummm his wife
loved to make things and paint
furniture as well!!
I bought a lovely book case with
the fold down glass doors for each
shelf. I will put some pictures up
on my next post.

For your viewing pleasure today
is a journal layout I did for the
Creative Revolutionaries group
I belong to. We had to take some
random pictures and then put them
into a journal and play!!

So here it is....it is ok...I think I
need to do many more to feel comfortable
at it!!

Enjoy Your Day!!!

Love you All!!

Susan

    I hope your Mom is doing well and that she likes the caregiver. I like what you have done in your journal, what a lovely reminder of your summer/fall time.

    So sorry for the loss of your friend. I hope the old gentleman will do all right in his new home.

    Susan honey been thinking of you today wondering if your having the beautiful weather we are today.
    I just got home from therapy and sore since they made me do it out of the water because of the rash.haha
    Love this and it looks difficult. You always inspire me to do something. If only you lived closer I might get something done.
    I am fixing to go to the library and do a little history search for the book I have in my head to write. Wish me luck.
    Not sure the review and giveaway I did today was the right thing to do for my site but when I was ask to do it I was of course happy..and then I thought it would be a way to have more giveaways. Who knows we can talk about it.
    I for some reason thought your grandbaby was due the first of Feb...I read on the post previous to this Dec...wow that is close. lol
    Talk to you soon
    Love
    Maggie

    Susan, oh bless your heart, and your Mom's too! She's so blessed to live with a caring daughter. I just adore older folks.
    Your journal is so neat! I have never done this yet.
    Hope you are well,
    Hugs, Diane

    Susan ~ I could spend hours & hours writing of our loves for Savannah & Charleston ... we'd be gone in a heartbeat if it weren't for our boy!
    The romance & beauty & warmth are so overwhelming ... the history is alive & rich.

    TY for coming by for a visit ... stay in touch for more starting on Monday ...

    I apologize for not being in touch better but I've been really sick the past 2 weeks, hopefully I am moving forward now.

    TTFN ~ Hugs, Marydon

My Beautiful Sam Passed Away This Afternoon......

Image
Hello Dear Friends, With an extremely heavy heart I tell you that I have lost my little friend tonight. I thought he was having hairball problems and so my husband and I brought him to the vets late this afternoon. Upon arrival Sam was gasping for breath and they rushed him into a room and gave him ogygen. The nurse asked us if she could take an x-ray to see what was going on. When the nurse came back to the room she told us the devastating news, that Sam had a tumor next to his heart and that his lungs were filled with fluid. I was just floored....I am still in shock. We had Sam for 4 1/2 years and he was...well how do I explain to you the love that he gave us....he was always there for me....he would lie by my side in bed when I was ill and after two major surgeries....he would eat, have is water, and just stay with me. I always said he was a gift from God and he truly was. Tonight this is what I have learned.....even after my Sam has passed away he leaves this last gift   ....

Friends and Flowers

Hi Blogging Friends, I wanted to share this lovely bouquet of flowers that was brought to my door this afternoon. My dear friend Maggie sent these to me for my birthday.....they are so Beautiful and Maggie is an absolute doll to think of me. I know we all talk about our friendships here in blogland that we have found, and I know we appreciate each other very much. My life has changed so much in the last 9 years. I have had many surgeries and things going wrong physically which limited me quite a bit. Since 2003 I have not been able to drive anymore and that in itself was a big blow to me. I inherited a rare disease of the corneas in which I have had multiple surgeries for over the years, hence no more driving. Well I can go on but I will stop there. The real point in all of this is I have been lonely and needed somehow to connect with people and then I discovered the World of Blogging!!  WOW...I never dreamed that I would meet such loving and caring folks....
