Getting a Grip on Things...



Pretty much says it all...


If you'll remember, back in January, when my sister Ruth Ann's journey with colon cancer began, I told you about her Ex-husband's wife, Laura...and how, over the years we all became good friends?  Well, Laura has been along for Ruth Ann's journey with us.  She has a bad back...and many surgeries.  Well...last night, we find out Laura has cancer of some sort.  Skin?  Bone?  We don't know at this point.  They've taken a lump the size of a American quarter, out of her upper knee area.  They also found some spots on one of her arms.  They said it's an agressive kind of cancer...
She's scared...as we all are.  We just don't have all the facts yet.
If I haven't worn you out with all my request for prayer,, please find it in your hearts to say more for our Laura.  



This was a quick meal...penne noodles, cream, cheddar cheese, ricotta cheese.  We enjoyed it.


Larry ordered a solar pump for my birdbath...Just needs filling with some rocks.


A "Better Boy" tomato?  Never heard of it but I found it at Walmart so I hope it produces...


Larry built me the "bones" of an outdoor potting station!  I'm so excited to get it filled up with holders and pots and brick-a-brack.



I need help identifying this seed!  We've never seen one like this before.  It was just laying on the patio the other morning...all by itself!  Don't know how it got there or what it is.  If you know, let me know!  It's the size of a fifty cent piece and just as round.




And, as I was taking the crazy looking seed's photo, I looked over to my right and staring back at me was this wasp...I caught him in the act of making a nest...He got sprayed with a blast of water and is currently looking for new diggs!  Scared the be-jessus out of me!  Their sting hurts like fire...and my face was inches from him.



Got a new little bird feeder...although the squirrels like it too...I don't care though.  I'm trying to get wildlife back into our backyard.  I guess squirrels are also a good indication of life...lol


My Big Boy tomatoes on the other plant are growing like weeds!  Had to tie several branches up so the weight of the tomatoes don't break the branches.




And who is this gorgeous doll?  Our Sloane is getting so big...Will be 10 months old on the 15th of June.
Well, guess that's about it for my world this week.  Please remember Laura in your prayers.  We are so tired of fighting the Dragon...cancer.  Life must go on but it would be so nice if ...oh well...you know.  Live life in Full Every Day...you just never know....but,
God's Got This...
Love to you all...
