Marilyn, I'll be keeping you, too, in my prayers.  It's never easy (at least for me) to stop anticipating what might or might not happen and just leave it in God's hands. 

Janet ~ I remembered your tongue after you told us again.  I imagine the tongue is a hard place to heal so do stay overnight.  Also I sent you an email and it came back.  Do you know why?  It was you gmail account.

The baby shower was great and everyone ooohed and aaaahed over the shocking pink baby afghan I crocheted.  On the way home Ivalou and I had Long John Silvers.  I haven't had that for years.  Really good. 

The rest of the evening was the computer and TV.  Not much going on.

And it was really nice to wake up this morning with the temperature above freezing!!  And we didn't get that snow that was predicted for Saturday night.  And I hope we don't get any tonight.  Ivalou is to be at rehab by 8am tomorrow morning...also the trash needs to be taken to Kaye Don's drive. 

I am ready for church, then probably out to eat with the women and I feel a nap coming on this afternoon.  Another one of those nights.

Hi everyone.  I was able to sleep in a bit this morning as had stayed up late watching the Olympic coverage.  I have really enjoyed the games this year.  The elation that you see on the faces of the winners is something to behold.  I will probably watch more of the Games later today.

It is still 90 minutes before time to leave for church.  Pat said she doesn't want to go out with the group for lunch so we will probably just stop somewhere for something quick to eat. 

I spent several hours yesterday finishing the book "The Lost Symbol" by Dan Brown.  It is a complex book but I found it very interesting.  It was over 500 pages and was able to read it in about 4 or 5 days.  I have three other books from the library I would like to read in the next few days.  I seem to take spells at reading.  I love to read but often don't get much of it done as spend time on the computer.

Janet, I sure don't envy you the upcoming surgery.  That sounds like a place you really don't want to have surgery but we have to do what we have to do.  I know you will be fine.  Your new vehicle sounds very nice.  These new(er) cars really do drive nicely.  Hope you really enjoy it.  I remember when you got the PT Crusier.  Pat's cousin in Florida has one of those and he really likes it.

Etta Sue, it has been a long time since we ate at a Long John Silver's place.  May have to give them another try.

Marilyn, sure hope you are able to have your procedure on Wednesday.  I think the anticipation is much worse than the actual test, at least that was my experience.  I have learned to take things as they come and know that "this too shall pass".

Al, glad to hear that Marbeth is better.  Hope you are doing well.

Judy, hair dye is certainly something that isn't permanent.  I am sure your girls will have fun with the dye.

Well I hope you all have a wonderful Sunday.  It is a beautiful day here in Georgia.

Marilyn, I got a chuckle out of your saying "Al, good to see you are your humorous self.  I will pray for Marbeth."  It just struck me as funny. 

For me, the dreading was many times worse than the procedure, and I dragged my heels every inch of the way.    This next surgery is concerning because of the great blood supply to the tongue.  He told me there will be lots of pain, that I won't be able to speak clearly, eat anything hot (temperature wise) or spicy until it heals....not a pretty picture.  He says it should heal in two weeks.  I know the mouth usually does heal quickly, because of the good blood supply.  The thing that made me decide to go ahead with it was that he told me about an elderly lady he knows who has one "bigger than a walnut" that makes it hard to even close her mouth, interferes with her speech, and is now to the point no doctor wants to touch it.  If mine wasn't growing, I would ignore it.  Mom has one she's had for many years, but it hasn't grown at all.  Phooey.  Jeanne, thanks so much for your prayers.

We had a missionary couple speak at church today.  They are called to minister to the Native Americans, were planning to go to the Apache in Arizona, but God led then to Lawrence, Kansas, where there is the ONLY college for Native Americans in the whole U.S.!  They have students from 130 to 150 different Native American Nations attending that college.  Have you ever heard about that school?  I surely hadn't.  It is Haskell University, and what an awesome opportunity it presents for spreading the Gospel, showing love, and helping people.  I was really impressed with this young couple and their ministry.

Larry, we had the PT Cruiser for seven years, and I really liked it.  Would not have gotten rid of it, but.....you know the rest of the story.  It never did get even close to the mileage they said it would get, though.

Time to find something for me to eat.  Darrel had his version of chop suey, left from last night.  But I don't know that he left any for me.  He knows I don't care for some of the things he puts in it. 

Click here for the new week.
