Murphy got me!!

Today is my sweet hubby's birthday. I wanted this to be a "perfectly" special day for him. I really did work hard for that outcome...however, Murphy&his stupid Law was too hot on my tail for that to be accomplished!What a bummer for this loving day to get so screwed---all on me...Ratz!
#1.Sweet Eric made Chic&Dumplings from scratch--lovingly for his Dad. I "heard" Eric was coming Fri. and bring them to his Dad.....naw! He meant for supper tonight...uh oh! In the meantime, I took Lamar's request for supper & got to it. I know Eric's feelings were bruised, and I'm so sorry....just misunderstood. 1 for freakin Murphy.
#2.Prepared the pork chops,as I have many times before....FLOP!! They came out tuff & NOT tender at all. BUMMERS..don't know anything I did differently.... 2 for freaking Murphy.
On the most positive note---Lamar's ears should be sore! He got many calls today frm family & friends w/b'day good wishes...Also, FB friends & family were very generous w/well wishes, too. They all meant a lot to him w/the GrandKids' calls making him SMILE the most!!!
IF, it had not been his b'day---I'm sure that I would have understood Eric's plan easily and the dang pork chops would have been so tender we can usually cut w/a fork! That was not how it turned---CRAPS to Murphy today!!!!
Oh well, one thing is most definitely sure---Lamar  KNOWS  without a doubt that he is  LOVED....by friends, FB friends, family and yes, by me---even if I screwed up the cookin thing....LOL 
Lamar seems very happy with this day....His happiness is all that matters this day.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY to the man who changed this family's lives.

LIFE Lessons .....Learning Again !!

Image
This blog is a confession and statement of "new" learning for me. The "darkness" of an "acute" illness, and the healing from that, has been a reality check in full measure! I'm a Believer. I'm one who praises God, prays all the time, and am confident of the Love of my Father. That statement made -- I am still filled w/human nature and it's quircks! We all get "comfortable" in our everyday lives and routines. Well. Mine has been blown apart w/this "healing" process.!! It's going much more slowly than I would desire, and so much seems more difficult, and "lost" a bit. There are books written, quotes out there, and we all kinda believe --don't sweat the "small" stuff. Pfffft! It's the "small" stuff that's giving me such tough issues right now. Go figure! Examples: energy to "move" and do my everyday routines; insecurity/discomfort w/the thought of driving a car (not

the "REST OF THE STORY"......

I did soooo Love Paul Harvey. His stories were always so interesting.....and, he researched to bring a story to an often unknown ending. The "rest of the story" always let ya know.....the circle was closed on that topic for him. In that fashion....I wanted to do this blog. I love photography. I'm quite a happy amateur! Now, with Pinterest I get to see unlimited talent. This picture was one that "drew me in"....After I pinned it.....there were like 30+ other people who loved it too! This picture received the most pins on my boards. Just look at it....Never did try to track down the photographer. Only went as far as where the pin originated. Browsing pinterest boards is a fun pastime. I enjoy "following" pictures/quotes and such as far as I dare. In browsing.....I "fell into" a site. The photographer is TIMOTHY WALKER. A very eclectic range of photos. Behold! There was this picture among them. I gasped! (He has several other photos
