Funny Friday


Happy Funny Friday!
Wil here.
I know its been ages since I've done a Friday post...
But Winter can be brutal...
Anyhow, as you know, Mom has been hanging out in the bed for a couple of weeks...
so everyone else has been camping in the bedroom to be near her...
Its almost like being in a cave except there has been plenty of sunshine some days...
and lots of outside light on others....
Now she is up again, although still needs her rest...
So, are you all getting ready for Easter?
Here are a few pics from previous years...

A Woman's Daybook



Outside my window...
the sky is overcast and the clouds are heavy with rain...there is some thunder...
the weather channel says there is the possibility of strong wind, hail and a tornado later today...schools were let out at noon.  Redbuds and Cherry trees are blooming,
as is Forsythia.

I am thinking...
that it is not a bad day to be cooped up in bed..

A Bible Verse I'm sharing....

Hebrews 12:2 King James Version (KJV)

Looking unto Jesus the author and finisher of our faith;

who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross,

despising the shame, and is set down at the right hand of the throne of God.


I am thankful...
for Honey Bear who is always my companion and 
sits with me whenever I am feeling unwell...
For the care and concern of my life sisters...

In the kitchen...
is slaw, peas, cornbread, leftover roast with veggies, rice
and cake...

I am wearing...
blue lounging pajamas and a white hoodie

I am creating...
stitches on the Holly Cottage block,
I can actually do some work while sitting in bed

I am going...
no where the rest of this week

I am wondering...
how long my recovery will be but trusting
in my Heavenly Father to know the time..

A Song that stays on my mind...
The Name of Jesus, What a wonderful name it is
from yesterday's church service online

I am reading...
Lace makers of Glenmara

I am looking forward to...
afternoon tea with Banana/Chocolate Chip Bread

I am learning
patience, a fruit of the spirit

Around the house...
things are fairly tidy, considering and
laundry is caught up...did I mention how thankful
I am for Honey Bear

In his Garden....
he's planted beets and garlic...tomatoes and pepper
in seed cups in the greenhouse

A favorite quote for today...
"The Light in the eye of he whose heart is joyful,
rejoices the hearts of others."

One of my favorite things...
listening to my windchimes

A few plans for the rest of the week:
This morning I had an outing on my own after  over
two weeks....went to the medical building to have 
bloodwork done...then a stop at Walgreens...me and my cane..
It was almost too much but I'm 
recovered from it...and resting...
no plans for me this week,
unless I feel like going out to eat on Wednesday...
we'll have to wait and see...

From my  Photo album
 Another overcast and stormy day...

Wil looking forward to Easter

Saturday Scribbles


A couple of my blogging friends post Friday Faves which I enjoy reading...it is a look back at the past week and events, etc. which were highlights and blessings. I have a few:
1.Coming home from hospital and having a good Oxygen level with improved shortness of breath. 

2. Flowers, cards and visits from my sisterhood.

Alabama's passing of the resolution to leave our clocks alone...we will stay Daylight Savings Time and not change in the Fall...

3. Going to the thrift store to buy a cane (need something to steady me while I'm recovering) and finding one just the right height for me for $2. God had just placed it there, I'm sure.

4. My "Team" being in the Basketball playoffs and winning there first game.

The view from my window: Seeing Mama Rabbit, and different birds.
I just read on line that it can take 6 weeks or more to recover from the fatigue of Pneumonia which helped me to understand why I tire so easily...I'm going to just be patient and accept that I have limitations for a while.
Thanks for all the comments and Prudence, if you lived nearby, I'd just take you up on your offer of help.

And finally for National Quilting Day:

Update

This is what I see out my windows.
We're still having some cold weather
at night but warmer daytimes.


After being taken to the emergency room and being admitted to hospital, I finally had Walking Pneumonia as a diagnosis for my health problems of past months. I'm home now and recuperating but still have several weeks to feel normal...The medications do not help with feeling well. I'm getting stronger and doing a little more every day with lots of bed rest in between.

I am going to catch up on your posts now...
