Fridays's Fave Five

                                         

Hosted by Susanne!

Praise the lord, I have been clicking off my calendar all kinds of doctor appointments, as well as,  Lynn, my husband.,    and  for the most part they have gone very well.  At this age.  we cannot complain.,  or shouldn't!!!  Yesterday, I had my final ERCP., at least,  for a good while and  the Lord willing I will have no more. This one  seemed to leave me a bit more sore  inside than  the others.  But  I  think I am well on the road to  healing and   hopefully will be a better night sleep  tonight! An erCP is a procedure using the endoscopic  route to  view inside through the stomach,  to the pancreas  to the gall bladder..My poor gb is small and  wrinkled but still  doing a job .. our plan and prayer now is that it will be with me the rest of my days.  Surgery to remove it is something  I  do not want nor do the doctors so  I lean on the great Physician to  keep me in His worthy hands.  He certainly has been with me every step of the way!!!

I am so thankful for my husband. He is so  good to me. 

I would be completely lost without him. What with my  immobility and multiple  physical therapy  sessions, this  gb  situation,  my lack of really being too productive around the house.  I can do  light housekeeping and organize things and decorate  rooms, but heavy things all rest on his  shoulders.  He is outside now  mowing  the grass that is growing, but  thankfully,  with the  dry spell  much of it has gone dormant/  Thank you, Lord!!

What a blessing to hear that Roe VS Wade was  overturned today ..  and Spirit of death on our country has been shown the door and may he  return to the depths where it belongs.   Lord,  have mercy on our nation and bring blessing back  to our government.  our  economy, our  sensibilities!  in Jesus Name!

Well, a week from today  we will  be very close to arriving at our daughter's home right outside of Boston. We are leaving midweek to try to  stay out of  July the fourth weekend traffic. It will still be  slow going in several areas on our trek. This time we are staying in a new hotel midway.  We have high hopes for it.  The Hampton Inn we used to stay in  has gone down quite a bit, especially in their morning breakfast.. That is something we always count on as there is much road  before us to our destination!  Things are getting very exciting, and soon we will be able to count the days to our  flight to Scotland on one hand!  I have packed, unpacked and packed, and unpacked and even now  my check bag and personal item is pretty much unpacked. I do not wish to take too much,  but the weather there can flip from spring to  winter  in an hour  or sun to torrential rain the same. So I hadn't planned to take a checked bag but I do not want to carry coats and sweaters over my arm!😜

I am excited .. One evening of our stay in northern Scotland  the kids, Daughter and son-in-law- will be dining in a Michelin restaurant on the Isle of Skye.  Our accommodations  are back on the mainland in a castle.  But that night  after we have toured Skye  Lynn and I will bring the  grand daughters back with us to  the  castle and stop  in at a wonderful hotel for dinner..

This is the waterfront road  in the coastal town of Plockton, very near our stay,.


The hotel as you can see is about midway down the lane.

 The view across the bay  is  delightful!

This whole area is gorgeous.It is about 15 minutes away
 from my favorite spot!

  1. oh we LOVE Boston and we were planning on going next week for the show Wicked and to spend our anniversary doing the rest of the Freedom Trail (we've done most of it) but we couldn't get ticketmaster to answer us so we gave up and are going to the Finger Lakes instead. Where in the Boston area was the HAmpton Inn?? We used to stay at the one in Danvers on the north shore and LOVED it. it was a GREAT breakfast. I do know they've downsized it due to Covid practices. At least the one in NH was less of a buffet style and more of a continental style.
    I'm thankful R v Wade was overturned because I believe all life is precious however i do think this is going to be difficult for women and teen girls who are raped or victims of incest. They will have to spend a lot of money to find a state willing to take them. We also need MUCH better education about safe sex (let's face it, not all teens are Christians and even then some are still having unprotected sex). And this education needs to start at HOME. ANyways...that's my opinion. Part of me is praising the Lord for the news but the other part...the social justice part is grieving. And yes i am pro life meaning i am also against the death penalty.

  2. Dear Faith, I appreciate you concerns about social justice where young woman may be raped etc, and I would hope that each state who really cares about youthful women who find themselves in the family way would provide help through Womens health, and abortion clinics might change their services to help young women to get to a state that is doing abortions. But mainly make contraceptives readily available and teach them that preventative measures are their first choice in sex education.

Farewell

 After  17 years of   blogging  I am  pretty sad to  just fade  out  with  hardly  anyone showing any   farewell,  concern  about my  surger...
