TREASURE Chest ..

Wednesday was my day to celebrate! This was the day chosen,when all 4 of us could get together, for Lunch and some Fun. (b'day is on Sat.)
Picked up everyone, then on for Sue. Sue said she had to 'pick up' something @ Treasure Chest (nice store w/furn., beds, and some Y.S. type stock)
I was the last one inside the store. Noticed they were in the back corner, messin around! Went on back to join them and there's this....
 (this shot @ home)...Balloon, butterfly, purple pom-poms, boa, and AWEsome garden Bench!!
The girls had bought me a beautiful Bench, for my garden! It has leaves & vines --all over. LUV LUV it!
Well...I'm seldom @ loss for words, but this time, I definitely was totally Surprised.!! They got me.
{back story - I bought a beautiful sitting girl, on our store visit, celebration day of Vickie's b'day} It is still being painted, not yet ready to pick up.!!
The girls were hoping to present my finished garden Girl, sitting on the new Bench....
Just hoping, the painted Girl may be finished by Sat.!
It didn't stop w/that Wonderful surprise!! Also, was given these ...
 LUV this angel....has Friends sign, below the bow...
Garnet ring....(fashioned after Princess Di jewelry!)
These FRIENDS are truly a Blessing.
Note: I prefer the JOY of giving, being a Receiver, is tuff....but, oh, sooooooo much FUN!!
It was a beautiful day of celebration.....filled w/LOVE and FUN ~ oh...and great Food!

They were All on my mind & in my heart, tho.} 2 even mailed gifts!! TY to Betty & Charlene. Pam's deco was to the moon!

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
