Drinking lemonade
from an old fruit jar
while snacking on old fashioned cookies.
Only thing better than that . . .
is doing it while relaxing on the porch :)
This is a short post.
🌺🌻🌼🌺🌼🌻🌺
I do want to ask you to please
pray for my Steve.
Thursday, he gets his first CT Scan
since starting chemo.
After our great lab reports last week
we are hoping and praying for
a great report from this scan.
We won't get the results for another week,
and I hope that I'll have good news
to put in my next post.
Have a sweet week
&
Keep Smiling!

Hi Sheri, well it's Saturday and I've been working my behind off trying to get the yard work caught up and the garden caught up so that I can relax on the porch tomorrow. Sunday is my day of rest and sometimes I have to work hard on Saturday just to keep it that way. Thank you so much for your prayers they are more than appreciated. God bless you.

ReplyDeleteHi John, thanks for stopping by. The thing with this chemo is that it zapps Steve of all his energy. I wish there was more that I could do.
