Everything went so smoothly! The experience was better than we could have ever expected as far as surgery goes. In recovery, the girl said, "You are the most alert person I've ever had." Every worker at Baylor Hospital was happy and caring! Some have been there 40 years. We got home earlier than expected and so traffic wasn't as bad as we thought it would be. I am doing VERY good. Haven't needed pain meds (2 tylenol yesterday evening). I do have a lot of numb areas on my face, eyebrow, and ear area as they removed a cyst or tumor on the salivary gland. So I have stitches under my ear and down the neck area. The doctor will remove the drain tube behind my ear on Thursday. But I really do feel good except for where the drain tube is and it doesn't really hurt, just a nuisance.
and for the prayers and comments. I am headed back to my chair, dogs, and college baseball on TV.
My how this week has gone by .. May you have a nice Saturday enjoying the moments. Smiles Gloria
I've learned to be happy with what I have, and even if I lost it, I'd still be happy, because (see start of sentence.) ~Robert Brault, rbrault.blogspot.com, 2019
I am having surgery on Friday afternoon to have the salivary gland that has a cyst removed. So it will be late afternoon before we get back home. Nothing to worry about just has to be taken out. And on Friday of all days when traffic in DFW is the worst when Rbt has to drive! So please just say a prayer and I'll let you know how it went in a day or two as soon as I feel like it.
We made it to the middle of this week. It is another very windy, dreary day for us. If we can't have sunshine at least we should get rain! But we will take what comes our way.
Just stop and smell the flowers; that is, if there are any petals left on the plant. So today is just odds and ends getting done here, mostly inside. But as always, I am sending lots of blessings your way.
A very good day to you and hope the week is doing good for you. Getting summer time here now. Next three days getting into the high 80's and low 90's. Hope we get some rain soon. Stay safe and happy....George
Got errands done and the wind is blowing something fierce. So no working in the yard; in fact, it was hard to open the car door.
Just wanted you to know I was thinking of you. Sure hope you are having a terrific day and hope you know that I always look forward to a message from you. How wonderful are these warmer temperatures!
Jesus Christ is the Passover Lamb. His blood stands guard at your door. The destroyer cannot come into your house to get to your family because Jesus is at your door!
Jesus is the son of God!
I receive Him as my Lord!
Amen!
We watched and listened to many sermons and songs this Easter morning and am sharing the blessings with you. Then we worked in the yard and cleaned out lots of dead plants that are not coming back. But what a joy to see the plants that remain reaching up out of the soil and some even blooming. Just want to say thanks for all the Easter comments and for being such a faithful friend.
Good day to you and another month gone so fast. Lots of replanting going on after our crazy cold weather we had . Some plants survived but others were given last rites. Have a good week and don't get duped tomorrow on April fools day......George
good morning, i hope all is well with you. it's been quite chilly here for the last week, but today close to 70...yea! but this is michigan and our weather could change. so not expecting these temps to last. wishing you a lovely tuesday..hugs..marykay
Well, Monday has rolled around again, so let's make the most of it. I wanted to share our weekend pictures.
Before and After
And that was the easy part! We don't have bulk pickup in the City of Fate... so we have to cut brush up in a 3x3x3 bundle. We are only allowed 4 bundles a week and we have about 10 from one tree. That is why we paid someone to haul off the green bundles from the tree that blew over. And extra bags of grass cuttings from spring & fall when we use the bagger is the same way as they only allow one extra bag on top of trash can and one to the side.
Hubby is washing cars today. We wanted to mow this morning but the grass was way too wet and it wasn't even dry enough by 10 am. So on to other projects. Made fresh hummingbird food since I have seen a hummer at the feeder. Also got orchids and Christmas cactus watered with ice cubes. So how is your week shaping up? We had a great Palm Sunday!
Good day my friend and wishing you a very happy weekend to enjoy. Prayers the severe storms have spared you from the severe damage that has occurred in some areas. Stay safe and have a great new week.....George
Oh to have this much energy again! We really wanted to trim some trees today; however, the ground is sooooo wet that the ladder would sink to the center of the earth. Instead...
I'll give you a Big Friday Hug! And I will send lots of Blessings your way because your friendship always puts a smile on my face and is a blessing to me.
Now I'm heading outside to see what I can get into because staying inside and paying bills just seems like no fun when the sun is shining brightly on my orchids.
So a man shows up, Johnny, with a huge machine, a stump grinder. After it was unloaded, it only took between 15-25 minutes and the stump was mulch, dirt and all.
So now that this job is finished, I guess you know where the bodies are hidden. We still have 3 or 4 Juniper trees to trim and a large crepe myrtle to trim. Our work is never completely done.
But the timing couldn't have been better. Rain started yesterday evening. Then last night we had 3 different thunderstorms come through at midnight, 1 am and 3 am. We ended up Monday evening with 1" and this morning with 2". Once again, we were blessed as others in the DFW area, Dallas - Ft. Worth, had tornado sirens go off and some got hail from pea size to golf ball size and larger.
Showers bring flowers! The BlueBonnets are starting to "pop". The sun came out earlier but we now have big, white, puffy clouds everywhere. Looking forward to the upper 70's for a couple of days. Can't wait to hear what you have been doing!
Well, as you can tell the tree is completely cut down. And the good news is our roofer took all the twigs and logs on Saturday to his mom's place because she likes to burn wood in her fire pit. Then around lunch time today our fence guy hauled off all the green stuff for a small price. Now on Wednesday, depending on rain, we found someone to come and use a stump grinder to finish the only thing left.
I just love all the light that comes in my window where my 12 orchids and 3 Christmas cactus are sitting. It makes such a difference in the yard too. I am constantly planting trees as they pop up in the flower beds to the yard and I really have too many so this was a true blessing.
I'm wishing you blessings for the rest of this week. It looks like we are going to get rain and storms this evening and more on Wednesday. I am working Wednesday so I don't mind so much.
