He has risen, indeed...
Hello Sunny D. thank you for your letter.
Hello and how are you today? My back and shoulder are much better, but today I woke up with a horrific headache. As soon as I get some food in my stomach, I will take an Advil and see if it helps. Our worship service was awesome. There were two decisions for Christ and a baptism. Yes, the Lord is rejoicing at the decisions for Christ and the baptism's. One baptism was of a man who has muscular dystrophy and is confined to a wheel chair. Obviously, he couldn't get into the baptizmal pool, so they took a bucket of water and poured it over his head as he sat in his wheelchair. I thought that there were 7 baptism's but since my dh photographed it, he said that there were 9 people. One was our Pastor's 11 year old daughter. That was special that he got to baptize his daughter. She is a sweetheart and so knowledgeable about the bible. They have about a one hour class each day on the bible in their homeschooling cirriculum. Our church is having a one day class called something like"walk through the old testament" that my dh and I are taking then they have a class for the whole bible that is a weekly evening class. We will be taking that too. Which means I will have small group bible studies now on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesdays. I'll be busy. I'm sure that everyone enjoyed the wonderful music on Easter Sunday that Joe put together for the choir. So glad that your dinner turned out nice too. Always nice to have hubbies compliment us on a meal that we have worked hard to prepare. My dear friend is still in the hospital. She will probably be there another week. Yes, I must muster up the energy to walk on my own now that she is unable to. It sounds like you had a nice relaxing day with Joe. Well take care and do not worry too much about the chocolate eggs that you ate. You are doing so well. lbsbgone |
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v2...Cup_Hello3.jpg Good Afternoon Lbsbgone :wave: Where does the time go??? Can you believe it's already April! :o We have had some awesome weather the last few days --- it has actually gotten over 60* :dance: Today it's a bit cooler, but the sun is out and I'm loving it. How have you been lately? Did that headache go away?? I bet it was caused from your neck and shoulder being out. How's your dear friend doing? Is she home from the hospital yet? Your worship service sounded beautiful! I am so glad all went well for you and that you had such a lovely day. It went by way too fast for us! Me... I have been doing great! Still feeling well after a month on the program and have been getting in about 7 miles a week (on the T-Mill) the last two weeks :D How are the Bible Studies going? Do you have a nice group of people to study with? People that allow you to speak - there's nothing worse then when you get someone who takes over the group and is not the leader, if you know what I mean. What size group do you have? Smaller the better, don't you think so. We have a couples group going, but we can only meet once a month right now because they are young couples with small children to care for. They don't bring their children to the study, but are limited on time. Any plans for the weekend? Joe & I will be meeting our friends for breakfast out (I eat before I go there, cuz of my diet) and then we'll all go grocery shopping together. Makes it fun :) Then Joe & I will head out to the wholesale club... I need some paper products. Don't know what we'll do on Sunday after church yet. My Joe got a NEW 2005 Ford Van - white - fully loaded... from the company he works for --- he is such a happy person! And so am I... I feel so much better knowing he's driving a safer vehicle for work. The old one has 180 thousand miles on it and this one has all of 200 miles on it :smug: He has really needed a new van for a long time, the old one was always in the garage! Here are some pictures of him next to it for you: http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v2...andNewVan1.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v2...andNewVan2.jpg I really must be going... gotta run some errands in town. Take Care now and *Have a Great Weekend!* Reminder: Clocks move FORWARD an hour this weekend :flow1: http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v2...withhearts.gif SunnyD <>< *~*~*~*~*~*~* |
Hi Lbsbgone... what a weekend we had here!
Okay... This picture is one I took earlier in the day - when we had about 4 inches on the ground: http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v2...Snow4-2-05.jpg This one as you can clearly see (look at the base of the tree & branches!) that we have gotten allot more! All together 15" :o http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v2.../MoreSnowA.jpg Look at my poor garden :faint: it was greening up! :( http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v2.../MoreSnowB.jpg *~*~* We lost our electric for 16 hours and had no sleep at all Saturday night (time change was rough on us both!) & it got so cold! We dug out our kerosine heater and lit that and it brought the temps in here up to 63* and held steady... thank goodness. And we have a gas stove, so no problems there - I was still able to cook meals, just lit the burners with a match instead. And we had our radio... Joe had to be at church by 8:00 to direct (thank goodness for 4-wheel-drive!) and I couldn't leave the house with the heater lit, so I decided to go shovel snow for him, so he could get back into the driveway. I was outside for all of 10 minutes when my left foot sunk into the very wet and heavy snow and twisted! I shoved snow into my shoe & finished the job - took me about an hour. I didn't think it was all that bad of a sprain... well, guess what!?! I am wearing an air-cast for 10 days! It was bad! I was crawling on the floor last night... so off to the Dr's I went. It felt really bad last night, but it doesn't feel too bad this morning, wearing the air-cast. I even got in my exercise this morning - I just used the Elliptical instead of the T-Mill --- less stress on my feet. Whew! :faint: Am I glad that this weekend is over!! I pray that the snow storms will be too! Today we have a clear, sunny, blue sky day! Beautiful!! :sunny: Okay... I am going to go grab a bite to eat... I hope that this finds you doing well! {{{Hugs}}} SunnyD <>< *~*~*~*~*~*~*~* |
Greetings Sunny D.
Hello and I, too can hardly believe that it is already April. Please tell Joe that he takes a nice picture and the new van is awesome.
Well, our cat adjusted to the time change real well, unlike us humans. She woke us up at a little after 5:00 a.m. which was really 4:00 a.m. before the time change, so I am writing this letter on less sleep than normal and no caffeine yet, so hope that it makes sense to you. Yes, my friend is out of the hospital now. She was even at church yesterday. However, I do not think that she will be up to walking anytime soon. I will take your advice and try and motivate myself to exercise on my own. I started WW yesterday at home with the things that my sister provided for me. I get 25 points a day. So far, so good. I am doing the flex plan and not the core plan. So glad that you are feeling so well these days since starting that new food program. Our bible studies are fun. The one that dh and I attend no one seems to take over the show. The ladies group that I attend there are a few who seem to take over, but that's okay they really want to participate. The classes are held in homes so I would say that we have no more than 9 or 10 people per group. Soon we will be starting a complete study of the bible in a small group that will last longer than a year to complete. But, oh! I should learn so much. I am really excited. Well, my cat is helping me type, as she fans her tail across the keys, so I think that I will close this letter for now. I may write more once my cat let's me alone at the computer and I wake up and have had some caffeine. Take care! lbsbgone |
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v2...ovely20day.gif Hi Lbsbgone... I didn't realize that it's been a few days since I last wrote to you. It's so good to hear from you. I will tell Joe ;) Time change --- Our cats OVERSLEPT... strange for them. Their kitty-clocks always seem to adjust, but not this time :lol: It was very nice!!! My Zeppe wakes me up every morning between 3 and 4 am, but now... after we changed the time he wakes me up around 5:30 and that's when I usually get up --- so it's nice!! :smug: Oh good... I am glad to hear that your dear friend is doing well enough to be getting back into life again. I pray she continues to do well. Have you begun walking on your own yet? I have been getting in anywhere's between 2 - 3 miles a day this week :) Walking 5 days a week with weekends free of scheduled exercise... gotta rest sometime ;) I am so happy that my ankle is healing so nicely. And our weather has finally cleared up enough for me to be able to go outdoors next week :cp: All the snow has melted and we had temps in the high 70's on Monday and Tuesday. It has cooled down since Wednesday, but it's still sunny, so I won't complain :sunny: I haven't lost any more weight, but I am hanging in there... gonna keep on truckin' :jig: This body has gotta give way someday :crossed: Did you see those SNOW pics I posted :o I hope we don't see that again now till next winter!! Happy to hear that you have such a good study group... that makes all the difference in the world. How is that going? Learning allot :) So what have you been up to all week??? Me... just been doing household chores and some Spring cleaning --- detailed cleaning --- just started... so I have allot to do :o I'm trying to get rid of things I don't really use anymore... and that's hard to do! I am very sentimental and hate to see things people gave me go. So when I am in the mood to purge that when I Spring clean :D *~*~* Well, I must get off here and get these bill's paid --- the ones that I have been looking away from since yesterday :dizzy: and my dryer just stopped, so it's time to go fold and hang clothes. Have a great weekend :flow1: Later... http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v2...7/AN-Loves.gif {{{Hugs}}} SunnyD <>< *~*~*~*~*~*~* |
Wow! I totally missed your post...
I didn't see your snow pictures and hurt foot post until today Friday 04/08/05. Please forgive me for not responding, I didn't know that it was there. Boy, that looks and sounds like a nightmare. So glad that your foot is healing.
Earlier in the week, I walked 2 miles then yesterday I walked all up and down the aisles of Sam's Club. We are getting FIL a locking mailbox for his birthday next month. He says that he really wants one, which means that I will have to walk all of our outgoing mail to the U.S.P.S. blue mail boxes or the postal annex store so should start to get lots of exercise. Dh has been sick for two days now with a head cold, cough, maybe viral flu, so have been caring for him. We are helping a friend plan a birthday party with over 100 guests for next Saturday. She is feeling overwhelmed so we have stepped into help. I was writing down food prices... at Sam's so that she can see which foods fit into her budget and then on Saturday morning I will go and buy the food. The party is in the afternoon. Tomorrow, I am going to a 5-1/2 hour bible study on the old testament. I should learn lots. Well, so glad that your weather has warmed up. We have been running our air conditioner for over a week now. Temps in the 90's. Gotta go for now. Take care and heal that foot. lbsbgone |
To Sunny D.
I hope that you saw my apology in my previous letter dated April 8th. If not, please read it.
How are you feeling these days? Any more snow storms? Our weather has been in the 80's and 90's. A little windy last night. Please pray for my shoulder pain. It is from an old injury and has kept me up since 4:00 a.m. with the pain. Thanks! Doing 3 bible studies a week and lots of homework in one class as we read the entire bible in 30 weeks. Well dh needs the computer now. Take care. lbsbgone |
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v2...daybunnies.jpg Good Morning Lbsgone... Yes! I did read it, and that's okay really!!!!! It's my bad! I owed you a letter :sorry: I just have spread myself a little thin these days :o So it's my fault... I should have posted in reply and neglected to - I'm sorry. No more snow :sssh: We have had some Beautiful weather here the past 12 days :cp: It actually went up to 84* yesterday. But today is much cooler and it's suppose to be back into the 50's and 60's for the next few days with rain. I saw that you were getting some HOT :sunny: temps there in the desert! Whew :stress: It looks like another beautiful day today here... but I think the rain :rain: will be coming soon, as I am watching the skies get darker as I write this. That's okay... we need it and as least it held off long enough for me to get in my walk this morning of 3.25 miles :D With a new total of 33.25 for April. :sunny: Are you still walking?? I go in the early morning (leave at 5am) with my headset of music :D It sure passes quickly with the music. Sounds like those bible studies are keeping you really busy!!! 3 studies... that's allot! How are you doing with it, able to keep up? You mentioned on the CER's that a friend had passed on... it wasn't the friend that just had surgery, was it :( Your walking buddy? Again, I am so sorry for your loss no matter whom it was :grouphug: Take Care of yourself now... don't work too hard ;) *~*~* Well girl... I have other people to visit... places to go.... things to be done... Ta... SunnyD <>< *~*~*~*~*~*~*~* |
Sunny D., I do believe that I owe you a letter...
Thank you for the kindness regarding my friend who went to be with the Lord. No, it wasn't my walking buddy but was my friend with cancer whom I brought meals to weekly.
Those 3 bible studies are keeping me hopping. The most intense one we have to read the whole book of Exodus before Monday evening. Whew!!! It's really warming up here. Summer is on it's way. What is your weather like? How are you feeling? Praying for good health for you. Well, it's time to get some lunch. Dh has his church work going on the computer so I get the computer when he gets fatigued for a few minutes at a time. Take care! lbsbgone |
:wave: Good Morning Sweet Lbsbgone :bubbles:
I am so very sorry that I haven't been around these days... I have just been up to my ears with work that my hubby has asked me to get done and work I needed to catch up with myself - & I haven't had any time to myself for play on the computer :( I will tonight or tomorrow though - I have been so busy that I thought my hubby's practices were from 6 - 9ish last night & it's tonight :o :dizzy: that's how mixed up my days are right now :lol: I haven't even walked in 2 days and I FEEL IT too! I gotta get in a walk today!!! I got in 52 miles last month :D I do hope that you are getting in some time for yourself as well :^: I will be back to post soon, Angel :flow1: Please know that you are in my *thoughts and prayers* even though I am not able to stop in as often as I should! :sorry: Your study sure does sound intense! I do hope all is going well for you :goodvibes *Thank-you* so much for YOUR prayers!! My health has been great!! :bubbles: You KNOW I am feeling swamped - this is in black print & has no pics! :p :lol: Big *Hugs* for you, sweets! :grouphug: *Smiles* SunnyD <>< |
To Sunny D.
Thank you for your letter. I can appreciate how busy you have been. I, too may be a little quiet for about two weeks as I have a shoulder injury that makes typing very painful. I am on an anti-immflamatory/pain reducer pill for two weeks at which time they will decided whether to give me injections into the joint. OUCH!!! Not looking forward to it, but the pain is horrible too.
Take care and if you don't hear from me for a couple of weeks it will be because I cannot type without pain. lbsbgone |
Hello there my friend...
I hope I catch you right now... Lbsbgone! I see that you are on right now... I am not quite as busy as I was, but still have lots of Spring things to get done! I am so very SORRY :sorry: to hear that you have a hurt shoulder!! How did you get hurt!!!??? (((Hugs))) SunnyD <>< |
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v2...apot_hello.jpg Lbsbgone, How did you ever hurt your shoulder!!!??? I am so sorry to hear that!! Is everything okay??? I will keep you in my *PRAYERS* Angel!!! I wish I could do something to help!! :grouphug: So much has happened since I last wrote to you! We had another HUGE snow storm hit us and we almost lost our crabapple tree next to our home :( Joe & I had to go out and tape it all up and bind it - and everytime the winds get high I say a prayer that it will hold ;) We also lost a few shrubs here --- all from the weight of the snow! You should have seen the damaged tree's here in NE, Ohio after that hit --- terrible! Because so many trees were budding the snow clung to them and snapped branches right and left!! Most have recovered and are in full bloom now, but we lost all the buds on our tree... I am counting my blessings... it really could have been worse. We got 17" of snow in that storm. Lately I have been busy with household chores & projects, but before Joe had a bunch of work for me to get done for his 30+ choir members... slowing down now, thank the Lord. We are actually getting some warmer temps here... finally! You probably are looking for some cooler temps, but this feels wonderful to us!! And my kitties have been driving me nuts wanting to go outdoors - and they are not outdoor cats.... awe Spring! That's okay if you cannot write right now... just know that I will be here when you can come back, okay. *Hugs and Prayers for you* http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v2...acup_sunny.jpg <>< *~*~*~*~*~*~* |
Thanks for the letter Sunny D...
About 11 years ago, I injured my shoulder in a bicycling accident and it has bothered me ever since but not to this degree. They took x-rays, and then I fell in the parking lot of the medical center. I should have reported the fall, so that maybe they could take another set of x-rays because I know that my hmo insurance will not cover duplicate x-rays in one day. The dr. says that I have bursitis. The pain/anti-inflammatory pills that he gave me do not work very well except in showing a huge weight gain and my hands are so swollen that I cannot get my rings off. I'm on high doses of Naprosin.
Sorry to hear of the snow and all of the damage to your yard and trees and shrubs. Hopefully for you that is the last of the snow. It's warming up here. Running the air conditioner each day. I may have to have a series of injections in my shoulder. Will find that out on the 23rd (Monday) of this month. I did alot of lifting of a down syndrome 6 year old and also some exercise video's and that is when the pain became so intense. Well that is all the typing that my shoulder can stand. Take care and thanks for your prayers. lbsbgone |
A update for you Sunny...
I went to the dr. today, he is referring me to an orthopedic specialist seems that I have alot of calcium build-up on my shoulder bone and a cortisone injection will just make it worse.
So how are you doing? Still hard to type and to write. Yesterday was 114 degrees here. Sweltering. We have a window A/C that we have to turn off at bedtime because we cannot run it 24/7. I often wake in the middle of the night so hot even though we have two ceiling fans over the bedroom area. Hopefully it will cool down as dh has to do some car repairs starting Thursday. So gotta get all of my errands ran by then. Dh is my driver as I cannot drive with my shoulder the way that it is. Look forward to hearing from you. lbsbgone |
