{photos from last Christmas}
I can feel it, it's in the air and just around the corner, Christmas! I am quite late with my Holiday decorating, usually by Nov. 1st, I have everything up and ready for Christmas. This year I just haven't had the time or energy. But the weather has been just wonderful the past few days, rainy and cold, perfect weather for decorating. So this week, I'm getting it done!
I will post photos as soon as I'm finished. I also just got a few new vintage treasures and can't wait to show you all.
If I don't get a chance to talk to you all before, have a wonderful and Happy Thanksgiving!! I still can't believe it's this week, I still have to shop for Thanksgiving's menu. I will be doing all of the cooking this year. Last year it was so nice because my whole family came to my house for Thanksgiving dinner and brought lots of good food. That's one thing I miss so much about living so far away from my family now is getting together for the holiday's!
I wish more than anything I could be with my Mom right now, especially with the health problems she is facing.
Last year about this time my Mom found out she had cancer. She is now thankfully in remission but facing another serious health issue with her spine. The Dr. found a tumor and other things on her spine and she is in a lot of pain on a daily basis. So now we just have to wait for a surgery date to be set up. I hate that I can't be with her right now, I feel completely useless and wish I could be there just to hold her hand and hug her when it all gets to be too much! I will just continue to pray and have faith that God will heal her again!
If you would, please have good thoughts for my Mom, I know it will help!
Have a great week and Happy Thanksgiving!
~Sincerely,
Melinda

Hi Melinda,
ReplyDeleteWishing you and your family a Happy Thanksgiving and sending loving thoughts and prayers for your Mom. Hope to see you again soon...love the holiday urn!!
Lots of hugs!!

I wish your mom the very best through all of her medical problems, Melinda, and that she recovers fully. It's so difficult when our loved ones become sick, and it seems even more difficult when it's during the holidays, as we tend to think of our family even more so during these times of the year.
ReplyDeleteI wish you and your family a happy Thanksgiving holiday!
Sincerely,
Jo :)

Hi Melinda - I was going thru some old comments and came upon your blog again. It's just so hard to keep up with everyone's beautiful blogs. When I saw yours again, I thought, now why haven't I been by to visit hers?! Anyway, I love your urn, it look fabulous!
ReplyDeleteAnd, of course I will pray for your Mom. How hard that must be for you and her. God will provide comfort for you both, please find your rest in Him.
Blessings to you!
