Play Date

We were with the grand kids last night, I like to call it a Play Date.

Pappy and Grandson squaring off on a rousing game of Monopoly.

Little Sis watching and waiting for her chance to steal Big Brothers money.

She even did a little dance to entertain us. Love those little ones, such a blessing for us.

Heart Healthy

No pictures, but wanted everyone to know I have a strong healthy heart and my cardiologists says so.
EKG, Echo Cardiogram, Stress Test and all the Labs were good. She said, "You have a strong heart and you don't need me." Best words I have heard in a long time. Just need to handle my stress better. Thanks everyone for the prayers. Thank God for the blessing of a healthy heart. 

Things I Love to Do

The hubby is on a retreat, leaving me to fill my weekend with things I love to do. First stop:

Now, I love Hobby Lobby and even better when I have a pocket full of gift cards. Bought lots of scrap booking materials for the next Sister Sunday.

They have their Christmas decorations out just in case you are in the mood.Yes it is June and we have had 30 days of triple digit temperatures. Being 105 degrees currently. Kinda hard to think about Santa right now. Sorry Santa!!!

Second stop, The Book Rack, another one of my favorite places.

This is one of the many nooks in the store, I love it that they have a chair for the customers to sit and read in all the different sections.

Home again, with a good book and large glass of peach iced tea with a wedge of lime (try this, it is great).

Reading, drinking iced tea, and snacking on Famous Dave's Pickles. Daniel introduced me to these pickles.They are great. Sweet with a little hot kick. A good way to fill a Saturday afternoon and  avoid the summer heat.



Angel Collection

These are a few of the angels, my son Daniel has given me over the years and I love everyone of them. And each one brings a message to me.

Silent Strength

Love Each Other

Rest and Enjoy the Music of the Universe

This angel's message seems to bring all the other messages together.

He will produce

this kind of

fruit in us:

Love, joy, peace, patience,

Kindness, goodness,

faithfulness, gentleness,

and self-control.

Galatians 5:22

Thank you, son for all my angels.

What Makes A Dad

God took the strength of a mountain,

the majesty of a tree,

the warmth of a summer sun,

the calm of a quiet sea,

the generous soul of nature,

the comforting arm of night,

the wisdom of the ages,

the power of the eagle's flight,

the joy of a morning in spring,

the faith of a mustard seed,

the patience of eternity,

the depth of a family need,

Then God combined these qualities,

When there was nothing more to add,

He knew His masterpiece was complete,

And so, He called it ... Dad.

Other Side of the Bed Rail

Most people know that I am a nurse, well I found myself on the other side of the bed rail recently.

This is what happens when a little back pain, turns into chest pain. Plus you get to wear this very fashionable hospital gown. Yea!!!

Hubby looking way more concerned than I would have liked and tired.

This is where he slept. Said, it was lumpy and of course the nurses were in and out all night checking on me. My main night nurse, Walter, I had trained. Time for the ex-student to get even:) Only kidding he was great. Wish I had got a picture of him. At the time was not thinking about blogging. Can you imagine...that.

This was breakfast the next morning, notice no bacon and those are egg beaters. It is good that I have a sense of humor.

All 4 EKG's and 4 Cardiac Labs were normal, they only kept me for overnight observation because the nitro tabs they gave me in the ER made the pain go away.

Will be seeing cardiologist in the near future for a stress test. Now that sounds like more fun.

One last picture, free things they said come with the room,don't think they are free, love the socks though!!!

And you all know how hard it is for people to spell Fitzwater, my Id. band read:

FITZAWATER.

 

Friday with Hubby

First it was out to Lunch at our favorite lunch hangout.

Today we thought we would try something different. Usually we share the Nachos. Tom got quesadias, and said they were better than On the Borders.

I got the Martha's Salad and it was great!

and why does Mexican food look so messy and is so good:)

After lunch, we always end up at our other favorite friday establishment.

Hasting's

Tom in his favorite section.

There I am, I could spend hours in the magazine and book sections. And usually I do, poor Tom.

Three videos and two Payday's later, we were off to home. Nothing exciting, just pure joy of living in the moment.

Angel

I have tried for the last hour to download some pictures of my Angel collection my son has given me over the years. I really love them, but can't seem this morning to get them on the blog.

Strange though this little angel flew right to the page. Think she is looking at her guardian angel?

"Angel of God, my guardian dear,

to whom God's love commits me here,

Ever this day be at my side

to light and guard, to rule and guide.

Amen."



Friday Night Joy

Last night we had the joy of babysitting the Grandbabies while Daniel and Ashley enjoyed a Date Night.

This is Caleb giving Pappy instructions on how to fish on the Wii.

more instructions....

Finally, settled in and catching lots of fish.

Meanwhile in the playroom, Chloe is teaching Grannie how to play badmitton.

Entertaining the Grannie with some music!!!

And even lifted a few weights, to show how strong she is getting. That's my girl!!!

Grannie and Pappy had a great time and love our time with the little ones. Although they are growing up so fast.
