Welcome to FFF! Hosted by Susanne!
The month of May is flying by. I can hardly believe how fast time is passing. May is the month I have to call my gastro doctor to set up a colonoscopy to continue the business started in the December.Back then 5 months later seemed an age away. Now here I am dreading the prep for yet another procedure to continue removing a very disobedient polyp that refused to dislodge from a scar tissue from a long ago surgery! Bah! I do not enjoy that prep and I was so thankful when the last one was finished thinking I had another 5 years before the next one!! Boohoo!!
But we have to be thankful for our medical advancements and the great care we receive yearly.. even if as the years go by it is more and more treatment needed it seems!
Speaking of procedures I just had a cat/scan yesterday that I had been somewhat dreading for some time. It was to check on a nodule discovered on my lung over a year ago. I am so glad that I have a loving, merciful Father in heaven in whom I can place my trust and and faith. That is what got me through the long wait. I got the report today and it was all fine! Thank you, Lord.
So let's get on with the fun stuff!As you probably know our only family lives in New England, a ways from us in the mid Atlantic. So we only get too spend time in each other's homes about 2-3 times a year, alternately.Amanda called to set up the last week in June to visit us.. well, for 4 full week days of that week!I know it will melt away like an ice cube in a frying pan., but I so very much look forward to it! Thank you, Lord for making a way for this to happen!!!
My best friend and I did something we should have done a year ago.. We joined weight watchers. Oh, my how it has changed since in 1980's when I joined for my looks.. Haven't joined since.. but now it is
for my health! We figured it was best to have an encourager
and some accountability!. I started out this afternoon counting my points and really trying to set my mind and the tone of the commitment I've made for the next 6 months! I am so thankful to have a great friend to partner with me!
I have been invited to two young ladies violin and piano recitals, respectively! They go to our church. Their lovely mom is from Peru and we have become very good friends ...
I feel close to these young teens and feel like I need to do something special as a gift for them. I keep thinking some sort of flowers. I think I may go out tomorrow and see about creating something like nosegays for them if I can find those little plastic water containers in which to place the flowers. I was thinking perhaps a couple of rose buds and some daisies in each small bouquets. I don't have a clue what else to do.. Any suggestions!?But at my age, I am thankful to have this problem.. having these three special friends!!
