Prayers, Blessings & Wishes for Saint

Oh sweet sister-saint.

I finally remembered to get to the wedding boutique place, two blocks from my house & pick up the bride's veil...... the special order "bird-cage" contraption.

It's gorgous. Like fairy-tale gorgous. Like pinch me gorgous.

I don't know what on earth possessed me to think that I could duplicate such a delicate work of art. I am soooooooooooooo glad that I had enough sense & time to get "the real thing."

much love to you.

xx00xx00xx00xx00xx

did I mention, it's gorgous!!

OHhhhhhhhhhhh and you'll believe this of me, tho some will raise an eyebrow and wonder if I'm exaggerating. I went to all sorts of nice, upscale shops looking for a dress to wear on Sat for the shower/luncheon. I went to our ooo-la-la mall. I went to Filene's Basement. I've been all over the place.

Today I happened to think of our JC Penney Outlet Store. Less than 10 minutes from my house -- serves the entire midwest -- it's gi-normous!!

I got 3 dresses!! Yes, THREE dresses, two pair of pants and two pair of shoes..... are you ready for this? For a grand-total of $71 and some change.

I'd forgotten how much fun the place is! Hadn't been there in years. The DH has attempted to convince me that I no longer need to shop in thrift stores et.al. hahahahahahaha.

So now I have to choose between dress #1 and dress selection #2. Either would be mah-ve-lous. Twill see what the weather dictates. The other one is a sundress & I'll save it for Florida. LOL.

Since it was terrific Tuesday, she took an extra 10% off the total.

Hope that you're heating up your Kindle and have something that's engaging & uplifting to keep you company.

((((((((((((((((((((((((Saint))))))))))))))))))))

Not sure if I should tell you -- but it looks like I really am coming to Chicago @ the end of Oct. She's just figuring out the details etc etc. in today's series of emails.

Don't tell the star-of-the-show, but I think I can make it work to come see her on stage! Remind me which weekend(s) it is...... I so have my fingers crossed for this.

You know what my dad would say?

"God willing & the creek don't rise."

(It worked before..... let's see if it can work again.)

edited cuz I can't always type fast enough -- especially when I'm excited & planning a trip to Beloit WI. Home of cheese curds, chemistry teachers, banjo-boys, actresses, birdie-sinking golfers and the best big sis one could ever imagine or adopt.

Dear Saint...your dear friend has inspired me to buy a bicycle, and actually RIDE the thing

So......this morning on my 3 mile ride (it will take me years to work up to her standards) I prayed for you and our other sisters here. I pray for strength and courage for you today! (((Hugs)))

Marple

I'm sorry, but I cannot resist.  Here is Coonie's new bike.

Love reading everyone here!

I just had a long chat with F&F. Heidi-Ho's passing was the reason. She made a huge impact on our little world & we talked about the blessing her rapid demise actually was...for HER, if no one else. It is hard for some to see that as a miracle, but it is one many of us pray for......Heidi was a blessing to us & will be so missed! May the angels lead her into paradise.

I am scheduled for another transfusion tomorrow AM. It is Homecoming for both DD & DH! I hope this sets me up with the energy I'll need for a busy weekend. Seems dd has gone to the last 3 dances dressed in a "theme"---first was Chinese (when I bought her an authentic "wiggle Dress" on ebay) prom was Spanish & now it will be Greek goddess.......I will have to post pix of my girl next week when F&F should be posting pix of her dd's wedding! Stay tuned fans of girliness dress-up!! LOL

Be well & stay strong 

Marple

((((Saint))))  I'll be thinking of you tomorrow and always.

Can't wait to see pics, and hope tomorrow's treatment does its job and does it well   Soft hugs.

Dear Saint,

So nice to see you post.  I hope the tx will boost your energy and make you feel better.  I am sorry to hear about Heidi-Ho's passing.  I will pray for her and her family.

Looking forward to pics of girliness dress up coming soon to this site.

I hope you have a peaceful night and a bright tomorrow.  ((((((HUGS))))))

Your friend,

Cheryl

What would I do without you?

Saint, your perspective is so critical to my growth -- personally & spiritually.

This is a big weekend for our little girls.

I literally can't seem to sit still -- so we're going to attempt to leave this afternoon.

Just a few little details to attend to. LOL.

I'll be multi-tasking this a.m.

Packing & praying. Laundry & praying. Making lists & praying.

Sure hope the transfusion gives you bounce for this weekend & gets those numbers up there.

faith, I used to work at a Penny's Outlet here in Atlanta...I absolutely LOVED that place!......They would open the store extra early for employees only when we got a primo shipment of shoes or clothes in so we had first dibs!........

Saint, sending gentle prayers for strength today.......May all your needs be met and all your wants be granted.........Have a MAHvelous day!.......Hope you and Faith burn up the phone lines today playing catch up!........Love you dear sister..........

faithandfifty

Just left a phone message.... We're in the mountains. Phone connection iffy at best.



I could see Saint's DD homecoming pics on FB.... So striking. Banjo boy looked pretty great, too.

Marple

I hope you Sistahs connect today.

faithandfifty

We got to get the conversation started -- before we lost the connection (West VA)



Saint was just getting home from her first Navelbine infusion... Plus the steroids.



Her blood count is happily high & she has a new theory about managing the timing of the transfusions: get a transfusion PRIOR to feeling so 'low'.... I'll let her explain.



Then we got started about the wedding/homecoming hoopla, when I started cutting in and out.



Saint. I'll put a couple pictures here when I gdt tethered @ home.



Pray on friends!!!!

Marple

K...........sending prayers.
