§Sweet Interruptions 226§

Found a picture of Cookie's parents.
You can tell why Cookie's such a sweetheart!

Don't mean to ignore you LK. Diverticulitis is curable. Kel's mother dearest had it and the flare ups went away after avoiding anything with seeds and nuts.
So, no more nuts for you young lady!! (I can hear Marion there)
Save those for Todd.

Off to bed.. see you all in the morning.

Evening Ladies.
Joyce called me to give me the news.
I was out of the area and immediately called Sue so she could tell you, Her Sistah's.

I had talked w/ Joyce about noon today and learned that her Mom had taken a turn for the worst.
Joyce and I had talked at length about my Parents passing and the signs and we knew that the end was coming fast.

At 9PM I got the call.
Joyce said her Mother's breathing was getting bad and so she walked, then changed that to "I crutched" over to her side.
Told her that she loved her and would take care of her Dad and it was OK to go.
Her Mother never took another breath. She said it was a sweet peaceful passing.

Joyce sounded strong and at peace with her Mother's Passing.

Ric

So good that Joyce's mom had a peaceful passing - knowing that Joyce would look after her dad must have helped.
Bless the family at this time of sorrow.

Morning everyone! Coffee is ready.

So sorry to hear that Cookies Mom is no longer with us, but glad to hear she passed peacefully!
Cookie, we are with you in spirit, and sending lots of thoughts and prayers your way! Let us know if you need anything?

Good morning sistahs.

Ric, thank you so much for coming over. That truly stirs all the sistahs' hearts here, letting go of her mum like that, and the Lord agreed and took her pain away.
Knowing Cookie, she will definitely make sure her dad will be well looked after. That's one daughter who loves her parents immensely. I wonder if he will still live in the retirement home or is he in an assisted care right now.
I remember Cookie saying she wanted to her parents to move in with her, but they declined.
Thanks Ric.

Thanks for coffee LK. I had a strange dream last night. Dreamt of Sistah Judy! You and I took a trip to Judy's house and we had spent a whole day with her and her kids. Jacob cooked risotto and I was praising him for using arborro rice. Then Judy's DH wanted us to play tennis, which you did, but I turned him down telling him that my boobies will jiggle too much. This is where Judy came in and told me that I don't deserve boobies!!! The ground of the tennis court is covered with chocolate pecan shells.
Julia tried telling me that at one time they had lots of cats until the neighbourhood dogs chased them away.
I woke up then.

Do you play tennis LK?

Happy Birthday Synda!!! May your day be an extra special good one today!

Sending my deepest condolences to Cookie and her family. The Lord heard our prayers and blessed her Mom with His presence. Our prayers will continue Cookie - they don't stop......

good morning
((((COokie )))
off and running to soccer
bbl

LOL! Jaye that is too funny! No I don't play tennis, as my knees and hip would scream really loud! And chocolate pecan shells??? What kind of pain pills did you swallow last night?

MANY MANY MANY HUGS AND PRAYERS FOR COOKIE, I love you girl!

Ric, thanks for posting! Miss you!

Wow Jaye, that's a good dream! Goes right up there when I had my Appendectomy and came home dreaming about my truck being full of crickets and got pulled over because of it.

Well I've been catching up on threads forever and I need to get outside or make some breakfast or something, my butt says it's nice and warm but I'm getting stiff!!

Dave came home yesterday evening from his week of being in CA, he's already driving me nuts, speaking of nuts LOL

Happy Birthday, Synda!!!!!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY SYNDA!!!!!!!! Have a marvelous day!!!!!

I am at peace, and so is Mom...

Her breathing had become much less and there was quite a bit of apnia. I leaned over and spoke in her ear that it was OK to go, we would miss her and I promised to take care of Dad....she didn't take another breath after I said it.

We've had our cry (Oh, I know there will be more) but she is really where we want her to be. Dad of course is having a very hard time.

We're off to the funeral home to make the final arrangements.

Thanks for all your thoughts and prayers.

(((((Cookie/your dad)))))) TheLord bless you and keep you, the Lord cause his countenance to shine upon you.
In some far distance future, your dad will be with his beloved wife again.
In the meantime, he has you, and the Lord watching over him.

Happy Birthday, Synda

((((((Cookie))))) if you're lurking, don't worry too much about keeping us inform on your going ons. We know you'll be very busy for the next few weeks, till you get your routine set.
We have Sue and even Ric who will keep us updated. If you need anything, call on either one or even Sis Kathy. You know I'm hopeless when it comes to calls.
BTW, BJ extends her sincere sympathies and will keep you in her prayers as well.

Uhhh.. Lamalin and Lyrica LK? I was lucky that we all spoke English in my dream!!! I had dreams where family start speaking in different languages and I don't mean tongues!!! You could imagine the chaos.
Was really really weird. I don't play tennis neither and I know Judy won't want my boobies!!
And Jacob? I haven't met him, but instantly I knew he's Jacob. How about that! And LK, the dream was in color, and you're wearing a pink shirt! Ewwwww... that should be a nightmare itself!!

Crissy, if you dreamt of crickets, it's supposed to be money!!! That's what my mother had said. But then, she's never right :))

Susan, I wonder if my ex could claim me as his wife when we are with our Lord? Since he's still in love with me and never date since the divorce.
Hmmm.. that would be strange wouldn't it? Thank God, we will all be sisters and brothers up there, so there's no legality or emotions involve, if not, Kel will just have to put up his fists!!! Lol.

Okay.. back to raising my feet :(( Was shopping for fur kids food. Once a month Dollar General will offer $5 off $25, and I'd go to two different stores to stock up on their food. Somehow this month, both stores are packed, word must have got around.
Talk about a long time waiting in line. Geez... the pain to save $10!! But I did get some fresh tomatoes from the roadside for 50 cents a piece. Kel has plans to cook some smoked sausage with onions and tomatoes tomorrow. I'll let you all know whether that would happen!

Jaye - according to our pastor, we would be linked with our spouse - whether as spouse or brother/sister I can't begin to fathom, but one of my friends - Bob - was saying ewwwwwww about being linked up with his ex LOL
I don't think Kel would be putting up his fists - or maybe the Lord would give him a "time out" LOL

Just got back from grocery store - had to buy some Calmylyn cuz I'm sure I'm getting my yearly bronchitis back..... siiiigh - my chest hurts with the coughing - it tires me out, so I guess I will be sitting quietly and appliquing tonight.

Susan, sure hope you get ahold of that cold before it gets you down too bad

Cookie, sure glad to see you post for an update! So glad to hear she passed so gently! ((((((((((((((HUGS))))))))))))) to you and your Dad!

Oh no Susan!! Don't think we have that product here. Seems your bronchitis is chronic like mine. Lots of fluids sister to keep that cough productive. My sister sent me some honey with ginseng, it seems to calm my coughs a bit.

ok i misquoted Ric
about Her mom reaching for her. sorry about dat. My bad.
Cookie i m so sorry to hear of your loss. Sending T&P to you girl
will call you soon. but just waiting for things to settle in for you in this emotional time. I have no forgetted about you's.
with a huge hug
sue

I have choir tomorrow, then a friend's open house right afterwards. I hope I'm feeling better in time.......
I'm taking some baking and some fancy tea cups for her tea party.

Jaye - it's cough syrup with codeine - only thing that helps for me. I picked up some store brand as they didn't have Calmylyn, and she says it's the same thing without the antihistamines.
I hope so, cuz when I get this cough, I need something STRONG! it's the only way I can get rid of it. Maybe I'll have to "bite the bullet" and go to my Drs to have him prescribe something. I usually wait 2-3 hours in his waiting room.... it sure doesn't help how I feel!

Susan, we have to go see a Doc and get a script here for anything with narcotics in it! No over the counter stuff like that!

i was wondering the same thing LOL

We'd be singing O Canada one day, if our health system do not improve!

and then we can do a R&W quilt!! LOL

And why not?? I would love to do one!

My sister wants a RWB wall hanging as that's the colors of France too. Hmm.. tempting me to switch allegiance if our govt. don't improve...

I just finished vaccuuming my car and using "spot shot" on the carpets and upholstery, and Orange Clean on the hard surfaces..... I'm done in - imagine what I would be like if I'd washed it, too.....
It's this bronchitis I'm getting - wears me out!!!!

Take care of yourself Susan, don't let that nasty bug get the best of you. Cough syrup with codeine just knocks me out. I have been very fortunate not to have had a cold for a few years. Maybe I shouldn't brag or I might get one.LOL

Hope your day was a good one Synda, a little late in saying Happy Birthday.

Prayers for Cookie, hard to lose a mom or dad. (((((Hugs))))

This is abbisgranma's daughter. I guess that makes me abbisaunt? Mom can't get online where she is right now - to say that my aunt lives in the middle of nowhere is an understatement.

She asked that I post and express our condolences to Cookie and her family. You're in our thoughts and prayers.

Hey Kim.. Abbisaunt you are! I'm glad that your mum checked her cell phone's messages!
Thanks for posting on your mum's behalf. ^_^

Hi Abbisaunt! Thank you for posting on your mom.

Morning everyone!

Happy Birthday Marion! Hope you have a great day!

Happy birthday MaidM!!
Yes it's impossible to forget your b'day as you had said once.
While an unpleasant history had been etched in all Americans' memories, yet I can still thank God that you're born this day.

Sharing a poem written by my GFF who's English, was in England when it happened. On acct. of 9/11, she moved her wedding date up. She now lives in Florida.

Eternal Hope
Feelings of sorrow, and heavy heart,
Watching the deaths of innocents
Rolling clouds of choking ash
Shrouding the city in darkness
The helpless feeling intensifies
Wanting to reach out to hold
The suffering children of god
All the time asking why
Knowing life has changed forever
As thousands start to grieve
A world united in its tears
For those they knew
For strangers never known
Seas of faces, rivers of tears
Flowers wilted tied to rails
Pictures raised aloft with hope
Eternally searching for reasons
A glimmer of hope always present
Wanting to ask again why
A world united in sadness
Hands held and silent prayer
September 11th a day of mourning
A day of eternal hope

.

wonderful poen
got lots to do today
wishing everyone well
bbl

Wow! Love that poem!

LK, Wendy just wrote another one, moments ago. She posted it on FB and I have shared it on my wall.

Going to go look! Thanks!

Can you share it here too Jaye for those of us who have Facebook now but have NO IDEA how it works????
