This is Tico.....and he will be home Saturday in the best of health!!

This was written by my daughter, Desiree, taken from her Facebook. She is truly a women of faith!

"Tico was hit by a car yesterday...He is fine and healing at the Hiram Ga. Animal Hospital. Dr. Johnson, came in on his lunch to see him when 3 others clinics did not have a Dr. in the building. We do not know what happened, but we know the end. Everyones loves Tico, everyone that knows him. I've never been so proud of my children, who are full of the Word of God, and are doers of it!!! Thoses babies stood in faith, resisted fear and realeased healing power to our family pet. Thank God for His WORD.

I am offering massages to raise money for the Hiram Animal Hospital's compensation. If anyone would like to help...let me know!!!!!!! Please accept the gift God gave me in healing as you donate to aide in Tico's recovery!

I'm donating massages to raise money for our families dog, who was hit by a car and recovering in Hiram. We need $400! I will be happy to issue a Gift Certificate for an hour to everyone who donates $30 or more. Chair massage for ANYTHING and everything less...We love TICO!!!"

I had an extra day!

Abby wants out of her cage!

Abby doing a 'happy dance' on Eli's shoulder.

Not to worry. Abby LOVES people and sharing food is her greatest joy!

Yes... the girls decided to not leave for Atlanta on Sunday as planned. They weren't ready for that 12 hour drive just yet. Instead they took off early this morning (Monday). Had extra time with that baby...rocked him to sleep every chance I could...I was truly 'living in the moment!" *smile*

Happy Birthday Ondrea!

Today is my baby's girls birthday. Just know, Ondrea I am there in spirit and
in love.
I cut my trip in Atlanta short. Made it until the day after Christmas. I forgot
my camera, so I do not have any pics to share with you at this time.
I had lost my voice early in the week. I just wasn't feeling well
and knew I wanted to be home.

Yesterday morning (Monday) I woke up at 5:30 A.M. with pain in my left side.
By 7:30 I was ready to KILL something! Woke up my DH,
(lucky for me he is still on vacation) and took me to the ER.
I have a stone in each kidney...little ones! Hell, something that
hurts THAT BAD...I expected to come home with something 7 pounds
or more and at least the size of a basket ball!!! Not 3mm. LOL

The day is supposed to be in the 70's, so I will work out doors and try to get
this monster thing out of my body....lol

Happy New Years my family and friends! Blessings to All.

I was just thinking...

About Desire', Ondrea, Grandma and Jhordon...

My oldest daughter and I were talking. She was remembering how she thought every little girl had a grandmother that made their dresses. How she even went threw a phase when she wanted to be like the 'rest of her friends' and buy one from a STORE!
Desire' would always make changes to the pattern OR better yet, she would just sit down with a piece of paper and draw her own design. Bless grandma's heart....not only was she a wonderful seamstress and able to do this, she enjoying pleasing her 'first grandchild'. Still does to this day. This went on even threw high school. Oh! The beautiful homecoming dresses! The prom dresses! Always, one of a kind.
Desire' is still like that today. Able to see something, quick to re-design it or re-construct it to suit to her needs. What a wonderful gift.
And now their is her daughter Jhordon, following in her mother's foot steps. A 3rd generation to carry on...thank you 'grandma' for passing on your gift to my girls. How blessed I am to have all of you in my life.
*smile*
