As most of you know, our son, Wayne, and his family went to Tel Aviv, Israel for a week. The company he works for, RAD, has its headquarters there.
I have over 400 pictures from them. I have loaded both my NOTH and Boomer pages with a few of them. I will attach 2 zip files in my email with these pictures. The third file in my email is videos in 2 different formats hoping both Mac & Windows users can view them.
They rode Camels & took a tour of the desert and saw the Dead Sea. They toured Jerusalem and got pictures like this, Mt. of Olives. They saw places that Jesus walked, where He was crucified, where His mother, Mary, stood to watch them crucify him, the tomb, the upper room, the wailing wall and so many other places.
They are so blessed to have seen the scenery, the architecture, the food, the history of such a different and historic land.
Just think about how long some things have been there and how many people have walked there since Jesus.
Every time I go through the pictures, I find something else. The plants are just beautiful and the beach is magnificent. The colors of the sky & sunsets are breathtaking. The average temperatures range from 45° F to 85°F or 9°C to 29°C year round. Sounds nice right now. I hope you enjoy all the pictures. As you know, I love sharing! Blessings & Hugs! Pam
It is Wednesday and I surely needed Jesus this last week. Thank you for being there for me as my friends. Reba is finding her way out the doggie door and back in, most of the time. She is still disoriented and on occasion just walks and walks and walks, and bumps into the wall or whatever is in her path. At least she is sleeping once in a while too. Thank you Jesus, she is still with us!
Hello, I feel better, in terms of my mood. On Friday, the doctors told me to tell the family that Mom was dying, that what she has is fatal. If she survives, as of today, they will have to sedate her. I don't know why, because Mom was recovering.
Not even the doctors believe it. She will most likely be home tomorrow, but they have warned me not to get my hopes up. There is no cure, but we didn't expect this and I don't know how long this miracle will last. My doctors
say that, due to the effort of caring for my mother for so many years, my knees have gotten worse, I have fluid and effusion in my knees, and the tendon in one shoulder is worn out because I have been caring for her for 5 years, as she is disabled and has Alzheimer's. I'm using a walker, and now I'll continue to do so, even though they tell me I can't, especially with everything she has now, she needs more, but they tell me to put her
in a nursing home, and I won't put her there, especially with this, well, I'm not going to go on, because I'd never finish. Thank you to everyone who asks about her. I appreciate it from the bottom of my heart. Have a good day. Blessings and hugs, María.
Hello, I have mobility problems in my knees; I use a walker. I care for my mother, who is paralyzed and has Alzheimer's. I'm prohibited from doing many things, and because I didn't want to put my mother in a nursing home, my condition worsened. I had an MRI and have an appointment at 9, although this morning my doctor told me it was a little earlier. Since she's not an expert, she told me my condition isn't good. My legs and arm are failing me; the tendon is worn out. And my mother was admitted for pain and anal bleeding in the lower part of her colon. Her blood isn't circulating properly; she's in bad shape, and her condition is terminal. On Friday, they said she wouldn't survive and that if she didn't die, they would sedate her. She started to improve, and even the doctors couldn't believe it. My mother has a lot of natural strength, and now she's eating and has a strong will to live. The doctors told me she might last a few months, who knows, she might come home, and I don't know how I'm going to keep taking care of her. Her children haven't wanted to know anything about her for years.
My daughter is far away; she has lupus, and a few months ago she had heart surgery, another valve replacement. They did a procedure to avoid surgery a year ago, and she was left with many complications, and they forbade her from traveling. The good thing that happened to me yesterday was that her daughter, my granddaughter, had a baby girl, and everything is fine. It's her second daughter; I already have two great-grandchildren.
But they aren't here either until the baby can travel. They can't bring her to meet her, nor can my daughter. Because of all this, I can't log on to the page; everything came together at once.
I miss you all. If someone wants to delete me, I'll understand and I'll be sorry. I'll try to get in. Sending you blessings, hugs, and kisses, Maria. ...
