Sweet Interruptions. Rm 271

Hope you get some relief from the Dr. Kathy.

Hello Ladies,
Wow did not realize I have been gone so long...........

Jaye, HUGGS and prayers for YOU and Kel, hope FIL's passing is a peaceful for him

I have been crazy busy, working on other half of front yard, transplanting flowers my neighbor's sprinklers come on every morning for at least 15 min. which is causing my yard to be SOAKED!!! I had intended to use this part for flowers and veggies next year but the ground is just too wet for most plants. There is a small river on outside of fence where water runs down sidewalk. So I dug up the Cannas and moved them. Next I've been digging a pathway for a Cobblestone walkway.............I finished laying it yesterday and weather proofed/painted part of it, will weather proof/paint the rest of it 2morrow. I put up a few halloween decos. It's neat at night with the orange ligths and big Spider web, maybe I can get a night pic (if I don't forget, lol). I will be leaving 2morrow afternoon, going to stay with Sheri at her new house, take her to Hobby Lobby, then Thursday night we are meeting up with Jenny and going to a night club. Been many years since I've been to a night club, hmmmmmmm wonder what kind of trouble we can get into, LOL............

We are having cold, rain and snowy weather. The Sierras are so pretty right now.

hope she xrays for cracks other than in my head

Looks like a lot of work Cindy. Job well done.

Yes it is/was, but I enjoyed doing it in these colder temps, lol. Neighbor came over said I never cease to amaze him. So he had to bring his wife over, she LOVED it. Doug said you know next Spring she will have you over doing that kind of stuff with her. She has a bad leg and can't do a lot of bending. But man oh man was I hurting afterwards. Took a hot soak with Dr. Teal's Lavender scented bath salts, a muscle relaxer and Aleve...I was out light a lite before 8 pm got up at 3, need to get back outside to transplant lilies I brought down from mom's but I think it's going to rain soon, ugh......

Don't over do it.

Glad to see Cindy back on line. I was wondering if anyone had heard from her. Always so busy with her plants. I know how nice it is to work when the temps are so much cooler. We haven't had any rain to speak of, but other places close by got a small shower. Hoping I can get out to do a little work while it stays cool. DH had a chemo treatment scheduled for 9 AM today, but they called and said to come in at 12:30 so I took a little time to get on line. He is now having me look up parts for a Daiwa spinning reel. So many sites and I still couldn't find what he wanted so got him a phone number to call. Those reels are so expensive so I can see why he wants to try and repair the one he has.

Prayers and (((Hugs))) going out to you Jaye & Kel. May you get to say good-bye to Murdock and pray MIL is civil and kind to you.

Dear sisters.
Cookie, our Lord must have pricked your heart to pray hard. He knows your online sisters can use them. Look at our Sis Kathy here, hurting and still thinking of others. Bless you Sis.. hope the doctors give you stronger pain killers and tell you BED REST!!

Thank you Susan, Pegi and it's about time you show up Cindy! I bet you'd have a landscaping customer next spring!

It's been a very long long day.
Marion you're right, FIL was the one that asked for me.
Somehow, I was very calm when I walked through the door. MIL was sitting in her armchair, didn't get up making the excuse that her back hurt.
I kinda expected that, but I walked over and hugged her, which I know surprised her.
No, I didn't break down when I greeted Murdock. He's all skin and bones and blue all over. Kissed his bald head, and held his hand and gave him a huge smile.
No, I didn't cry when his tears rolled down his cheeks. God and my angel sisters gave me that strength.
It's truly not a competition for me, with him... but somehow... I have this wave of happiness that overtook my emotions and all I can do is keep assuring him that the Lord is carrying him through.
All these years being with Kel, Murdock had never showed any emotions for me, nor hugged nor told me he loves me and today, the flood gate burst open!
Seriously sister, I had doubted his affections for me for he always showed favoritism towards the other DIL Now looking back, I think he's watching his Ps and Qs as I'm more "Christiany"?

Stayed a good while there, talking of my garden. This man had been promising to make me a vege bed, and I kinda eased his mind when I told him that I don't have time to be weeding any vege beds! I didn't know Kel had been taking pictures of my blooms and been showing them off to him.
He asked me of my lilies, my clematis and that darn apple tree that's not fruiting.
From garden to the Lord. Kept reassuring Him that God takes only the BEST and he's one. Where he plucked the strength to squeeze my hand, sent electric shocks to my heart.

Then when his eyes got heavy, after 20 units of opium, MIL continued with the convo. It was very civil. Didn't go to any histrionics as my angel sisters won't allow that!
She admitted that Murdock asked for me more than Donna (the other SIL). There goes that playing one against the other mode again which I won't fall for.
The visit could have been made short, but I stayed awhile as the old man wanted me to.

Thank you sisters, my earth angels for all the prayers.
I'm brain dead now,you all know in reality, I've been overwhelmed with pent up emotions. Time for me to let the tears flow.

Love all my sisters.. and

Check out the goodies LK made for me for one swap

Jaye, I am so glad you went, not only for yourself and Kel but most of all for Murdock. I think knowing how his wife is, he had taken the safer route but deep down he needed his peace before moving on. It was not easy, I know. Many of us are well aware of how your day would drain you but I, for one, am glad the tears can flow. I so wish Sue could reach that point but alas not yet. Sending a gentle hug tonight and prayers continued for all. Love you!!

Glad to hear you had a good visit with Murdock and MIL Jaye. Let those tears fall and get a good nights sleep.

Jaye dear, Marion said it perfectly. It couldn't have been easy for you but the day will give you all peace.

Jaye - bless you for all you went through today.... I know it wasn't easy, but we were encircling you with all the love we could muster..... glad to know you felt our love.
I gather then, that Murdock has passed, with all the opium he'd ingested?
Bless you both, you and Kel....... the days to be are not going to be easy, but tears falling washes away a lot of pain......

Tears of joy and tears of sorrow mixed. Peace for Murdock, Kel ... and Jaye.

Good morning everyone.
It was cathartic last night, but woke up too early as you can see. Need to clean the house anyway.
I did tell Murdock that my special sisters here are praying for him too.
He thanked you.

I'm so glad I have you all, as I don't discuss this with my biological sisters at all. They don't need to know my second set of inlaws aren't like the first set :D They shouldn't be worrying about a sister across the globe!

No Susan, he's still hanging in there. MIL was instructed to give Murdock a higher dose, but she chose to give that amount. I guess she knows how much her "patient" needs.

Marion, is Sue still calling you twice a day?

Gonna try to finish my swap project. Have a beautimous day everyone.

Morning Carole :)

Morning, Jaye. :)

Bless you Jaye for your courage and love that you displayed with Murdock. I'm so very proud to call you Sistah!!! Know that now your heart may be eased a bit. Sending prayers for all of you.

((((((((Barb)))))))) Thank you!

Look at what LK made for me here http://davesgarden.com/community/forums/t/1338699/

Morning everyone. Coffee is ready.

morning. jaye, you did the right thing, and i'm proud of you. I bet Murdock is relieved he made things right with you, and can now go home with out guilt. praying he has a quick and peaceful journey.
and yes, you need to cry.

Morning all. Jaye, don't overdo it cleaning as we don't need you down now. This was a wonderful cleansing your the both ...you and Murdock. Bless Kel for all the times he has been showing the pictures of your garden full of beauties. I am sure it was a wonderful thing for Murdock to see and know about.

Sue calling 2 times a day.....I wish. Try about 6 - 10 times a day. Yes, I have had as many as 10 calls in a day and if I happen to be out doing something, she gets annoyed. Yesterday was bad as she had to let another cat cross the Rainbow Bridge. This one was a total shock and she is seconded guessing herself if she did right. As bad as it sounds, I will be glad when she finally has the moment of reality and can then start the healing process.

morning maid m.

morning right back atcha! It is Wednesday so it is the day I prepare meals for my house and my son's. Need to run to the store for a few items. Wednesday is my DIL late day coming home with the girls as they have chorus practice until 5. Add the drive time home makes it 6. So I usually add one more 'tater to the pot and share. This way everyone has a meal ready, the GDs can get finished with homework and to bed at their normal time. Best part, I am really having fun doing this.

I help at the church on wed. from12 to3, then go back for services, but tonite is the fall festival and we expect 300-500 familys tonite, man I hope my back holds up.
trying to clean the house biut gadget makes it impossible. gave her a bath, so the bathroom got cleaned, and I got an unwanted shower

Jaye - I agree - I'm proud to call you "Sistah". Murdock is blessed to have you as a daughter-in-law!
What a wonderful box of goodies you got! LK is really great!!!!

Great job LK. That sure was designed to lift the spirit and it did!!!!!

Thanks everyone.

(((((HUGS))))) Jaye, so glad you went to visit Murdock and let him say his good-bye to you. It must have been very hard. By all means, let the tears flow. There is a season for tears and yours is here now.

Now I have to go and see the goodies LK has sent you.

That kitty jacket is adorable. What a special surprise for you!! You are now all set for the colder weather, warm fuzzies for your feet and great tea dnd fudge.

making an apple tart for Michael, he's coming home this evening, so I don't have to be alone during the storms

anyone here from jaye? not answering her phone.

I have not heard from her today. She may be at Murdocks side or the kitties have taken the phone off the hook again.

Allergies are killing us here. We have winds from the north and it is blowing the mountain cedar.
