    Hi Faith... thanks for thinking of me.  I got my new port, but woke up during surgery twice.  Scared the doc because I jerk awake.....  But it is behind me.... and the next adventure is right around the corner.

    Morning  Beach Chickies....

     I am glad the work week is over and I can come and play on the beach for a little bit.  I got the most amazing surprise in the mail yesterday from Jasmine.. I have a big smile on my face and am sitting warm and happy under it right now.  I have to say it brought tears to my eyes because it is something that will always make me think of the wonderful ladies I know here at the beach.

    Coonie - how are you feeling?  Still good-I hope.

    SoCal - your pictures are amazing.

    just doing some catching up here... Sharon where the heck are you GF?

    Morning all.  Just getting caught up on the Alaska Deb updates.  I'm awed by the impact she has had.

    I'm not feeling too "beachy" this morning, a little sad over it all.  Hugs everyone.  I'll be back later.

    Good Morning Check Kiss

    And all my other sisters.... I'm up early. Woke up around 5:30 , couldn't go back to sleep. The stress from the lay off is overwhelming.

    So I just had to come to the beach to relax.....

    Hope you all have a great week end.

    Yes Sharon, I was laid off and then my husband after 19 years at the same job.

    Also my son was laid off.... He has a wife and 2 babies.

    There are no jobs to be found because of all the plants that have shut down. It's bad here , very bad.

    But then again it's bad everywhere.

    Good morning Beachies.  Checkum, I'm so glad you like the afgan. I sent it on behalf of the Beach group but I didn't get a chance to tell anyone except Spar so they are probably confused.  Enjoy, Beach sister.  Mary Lou, I remember you saying you were getting laid off.  I have to believe that with this door closed that something better is right around the corner for you.  Just trust that God will provide for you during this time.  Sharon, I missed the chat.  I think you passed your 'falling asleep' thingy to me.  Thank goodness I woke up in time for Psych.

    Spar, my true southern sister, come out and play with us this beautiful Saturday.

    Mary Lou,

    I am sooo sorry for the stressful situation you are in.  It is getting really bad everywhere - we just had layoffs too and more to come.  They also told us that they are considering things like salary cuts - forced vacation, etc. to try to save jobs.  I really worry for our country and this economy - I don't think we are at the bottom yet. 

    I don't know what I can do to help --- but, prayers are very powerful stuff!

    Checkum -- the same thing is going on down here as well.  Scary times and there doesn't seem to be any quick fix.

    Hope, did you make the afghan?  How sweet of you to sent it to our dear Checkum. 

    Where I live they have an group that does quilts for gals with cancer.  It's called Victoria's Quilts.  One was delivered to me when I was undergoing tx. and it's beautiful.  Also a friend made one for me called a butterfly quilt.  It's beautiful too.  And interesting because the butterfly is the sign for lymphedema (I think) and I have that.

    Untroubled seas for all........

    I bought an island for us.

    How would everyone feel about making a list of special needs on the thread?  I know right now that:

    Checkum is having her mastectomy on 2/19

    MaryLou has been laid off

    Sorry but that's all I can recall right now without going back through the thread so anyone else please list anything you would like for us to send hugs, prayers for.

    Sharon, yes I made the afghan.  It is like the one I made for Ravencaine and CTG.  If anyone would like to help with these please pm me.  Its not required.  The afghan was a gift from all of us.  I have another one that is ready to go out as soon as I have a snail mail address.

    Sorry to interrupt--mostly a reader, not a poster (obviously ; ).  Just wanted to be helpful and add Dreamwriter to the list you're compiling, Jasmine/Always Hope.  Sounds like Dream is also going through a tough time.  Check out the bottom of the previous page--294. Thanks and God Bless.
