Unfortunately my son who was battling cancer from his VHL cancerous tumor passed on to a much better place the day after Christmas.<br />
I really missed checking out what everyone has been doing. With more time to come to grips with losing him i hope to be able to start posting again. Does anybody ever really ever forget their loved ones that died? No, but life goes on and we must put on a brave face and push on.<br />
Until then hug your loved ones, kiss them and tell them how much you love them. We never know how long God has planned for their time here.<br />

<span style="font-size: large;">It's that time again, cool crisp nights, hues of red, orange and yellow along with smells of campfires burning. This is my favorite time of the year! Along with fall produce of apples and pumpkins comes the holiday Halloween. I enjoy decorating with mums and corn stalks, a happy scarecrow mixed with haybales and gourds. But Halloween is the one time you can get very creative and nobody seems to look at you strange.</span></div>

Life here is still in a turmoil with dr. appointments,tests and work. I have not really had time to do much around here except regular housework and making supper. The one thing I did manage was to revamp my front porch for a place to sit back and relax even if it is just for a few minutes.</span><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-hCeQjc4rWfM/T-Nq2Int2NI/AAAAAAAAA-Q/xe_1c6gU8jE/s1600/004.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="300" rca="true" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-hCeQjc4rWfM/T-Nq2Int2NI/AAAAAAAAA-Q/xe_1c6gU8jE/s400/004.JPG" width="400" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;">I love the results !

Life around here is an emotional roller coaster. My daughter is now off starting college to become an RN, and my son is still battling cancer Needless to say I have not been feeling very sociable,let alone in the mood to do any decorating. Halloween which I love was without one thing done, and Thanksgiving was made with a heavy heart. We scraped by Christmas (barely) trying our best to enjoy the day. I myself have a few health issues pop up due to stress but with some pills am doing somewhat better. I am praying things get better around here so I can do more than just go through the routine aimlessly. I just wanted to let you know I'm still here,if just in very small doses. I will try to get some things posted after we get daughters room rearranged since she is not here to object. Till then take care and please keep praying for my son.</span></div>Terryhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18363749200740881273noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5885278437917803973.post-51648312134996133592011-09-29T15:02:00.006-04:002011-10-02T23:31:34.276-04:00Autumn Porch Decorating<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;">I love Fall! The earthy colors are some of my favorites. If you follow my blog you would remember that I had white wicker furniture before. After a trip to the Biltmore Estate I was insprired by the more natural wicker that was used on the porches. So my hubby surprised me with a new porch set for my birthday</span>.<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-z7m5pXfc8Z8/ToSzeMe0fvI/AAAAAAAAA8M/G2KsbMioUF8/s1600/Picture+553.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="300" kca="true" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-z7m5pXfc8Z8/ToSzeMe0fvI/AAAAAAAAA8M/G2KsbMioUF8/s400/Picture+553.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;">I really love the warm honey color mixed with rusts and oranges.</span></div><br />

I feel like I am just going through days and weeks on end on auto-pilot. If you follow my blog (for what little of it has become) you would recall about my son. Of course when you think God has gave you enough to bare more follows. My son has now been diagnosed with cancer of both his 1 kidney he has left and of the liver. We will be soon beginning to start treatment at Hershey cancer center. He will get admitted for his treatment and will get 2 of these to see if there is any response before more will be done. I really need prayers for him. I myself am going to see the doctor to check my blood pressure since I had a few series of nose bleeds and the nurse checked mine and it was 172/90. Not good and since high blood pressure runs in the family it is probably been semi-high but never like this. Until then keep my son in your prayers.</span></strong></div>Terryhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18363749200740881273noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5885278437917803973.post-4379147516760577862011-07-26T15:44:00.002-04:002011-07-28T15:51:06.312-04:00Biltmore Getaway<div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;">Summer is slipping away so fast!! We usually take a 2 week vacation but had to cut it down to one week, so this year we went to Asheville, NC to spend time with family. One whole day was spent at the <a href="http://www.biltmore.com/">Biltmore Estate</a> (could have been the whole week to suit me). This place is amazing! The detail of even the most simpliest thing takes your breath away. Life and homes were built with so much love then unlike todays cookie cutter styles.</span></div><br />

I'm so glad you could stop by to say hello. We could not have asked for better weather for Rhondi's annual porch party. Thanks Rhondi for hosting this great party! If you were here last year you will see not too much changed here except the way I have the porch set up. I would have loved to add some of my bird houses but they are in need of a good painting and I did not realize it until I went to unpack them, so...Come on up and enjoy!</span></div><br />

Since this was a very rainy spring they just took over. Of course on my days off was when it rained the most, so getting ahead of the game was not an option. I dread even putting my hands in here. My kitties think this is their litter box and now since the rain stopped the heat took over! YUCH!!!! Hate to say it but it's going to get round-up on it since I can't plant here until they fix our siding anyways.</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-06yn7m5K7Gc/TevPW__fE8I/AAAAAAAAA6I/sDqVkbJeJxg/s1600/Picture+328.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-06yn7m5K7Gc/TevPW__fE8I/AAAAAAAAA6I/sDqVkbJeJxg/s400/Picture+328.jpg" t8="true" width="300" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;"> In our wooded area is also weed heaven!

Some of my plans are: paint my bedroom, do some landscaping, paint all the ceilings in the whole house, repaint the front door, wallpaper living room (if time permits), and some smaller pick me ups. Yes it is a huge list but if I manage some I will be happy. Of course we have plans to go on vacation to the Biltmore Estate with hubbies family.

My kids were talking about how they did not get Easter baskets anymore ( mind they are not little ones). Of course being the sentimental mother that I am I wanted to give them one more basket even if it might cramp their style. Since I am so behind with everything I bought grass, candy and plastic eggs. I figured I could find the baskets easily enough. WRONG! I guess it really has been awhile since they had a basket. Just then my redneck hubby hands me 2 plastic grocery bags.</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />

We are done with all of his life threatening operations . All he needs is to get one more for discs in his neck . Still unsure as to when that will be. <strong><u>Finally</u></strong> he gets to come home tomorrow. He was to come home Monday but he had pneumonia set in. I hope to be able to post again in the next week or two, but need to really do some cleaning around here first. I never got my Easter decor out in fact, ( head hung in shame) I still have Valentine decor sitting on kitchen counter waiting to be carried to shed to be put away. Now I need to go shop for something to make for Easter. I am so behind......</span></div>Terryhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18363749200740881273noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5885278437917803973.post-33549830269223233242011-03-27T10:58:00.001-04:002011-03-27T11:00:55.338-04:00Update<div style="text-align: center;"><strong><span style="font-size: large;">I<em> sure could use all your prayers for my son Scott . He is at NIH near D.C. and gets his first operation tomorrow. The first for the tumor in his spinal cord followed by another on Friday for the one in his brain. After that we have his tumor at his left kidney to be removed followed by removing lesions from his right kidney. They are just going to watch the ones on his pancreas since they are small in size. I am heading out to go there later today. I sure do miss posting but if you are a parent you know your children come first before anything. I sure hope you forgive me for not posting ( I saw some have stopped following) but ..........true friends will stick by as others fall. Thanks!

My son is is great need of my time right now. He was born with the genetic disorder VHL. At age 28 he has had his adrenal glands removed, brain tumor and now we just returned from the er from finding out he now has a mass at his kidney. I am in need of your prayers. My faith is in need of help. My family is going through so much right now. My sister who is in remission of breast cancer found out her hubby had prostate cancer and just had a heart attack on top of it all. How much is one family supposed to endure? I'll probably lurk to keep my brain on something else but until then.... Thanks in advance of be understanding.</span><br />

So in prep of what might happen my hubby got the fireplace ready in case of power outages.</span></div></div><div style="text-align: center;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_C5hdj1JIz_I/TS4e8nsejfI/AAAAAAAAA2M/_YNOJS4PmX0/s1600/Picture+515.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="300" n4="true" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_C5hdj1JIz_I/TS4e8nsejfI/AAAAAAAAA2M/_YNOJS4PmX0/s400/Picture+515.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"><br />
</div></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;"> Who says being without power is boring? It all depends on how you look at it. We love to sit in front of a cozy fire and just soak up the warmth. Since there is no tv or radio, we crank up the victrola and listen to vintage records.</span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_C5hdj1JIz_I/TS4eR9hljOI/AAAAAAAAA2A/lWHIc_Jq0bE/s1600/Picture+499.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" n4="true" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_C5hdj1JIz_I/TS4eR9hljOI/AAAAAAAAA2A/lWHIc_Jq0bE/s400/Picture+499.jpg" width="300" /></a></div><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"> For those who have no clue what a record is, they were round plastic discs that would emit sounds when played . LOL! </span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">We bought this victrola from a man who was in the same room as my uncle at an assisted living home.</span><br />

He told us this was one of the first things he and his wife bought. </span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">We buy alot of antiques, but I love to know some of the history behind them. I like to think of it as preserving memories. This serving tray I bought at a yard sale ages ago.</span><br />

That might take me awhile until then,I hope everyone stays warm! </span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;">Joining these parties:</span><br />
