    Ok Beachies.....I have been working super hard.....with not a spare minute to myself....I am supposed to be sleeping now.....but My little "BIG MOUTH" Daushy Just had a super BARK FEST & woke me....so I had to come Check on you All while I was awake!!!!

    Thanks so MUCH for ALL the PRAYERS for my DIL Sarah......As far as last nights update goes....She is doing better & was starting to eat a little (Liquids)....The Steriods are working.....MAKRAZS....Thanks for Giving everyone the Message....it was a big Help....One tiny correction....I am sure I was frazzled when I called & did not make the best of sense....anyway...Sarah has been on Oral steriods for weeks at home with not much help from them....the Dr's think that Her Digestive system is so messed up that it couldn't absorb the med.....So they are using 60 mg of steriod every 6 hours through IV to get it under control....One Great thing is that her blood counts were good this time & she didn't have to have a blood transfusion. They are talking of letting her go some time today  as of the last time I heard. Thanks again for keeping the Prayers going.....

    Arnie...... it's so good to see the Fog is a little less dense today!!!!  (((((((((MR. & MRS. ARNIE)))))))))

    Coonie.....it's so good to see you about & feeling a little more like yourself!!!! ((((((((COONIE))))))))

    (((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((BIG BEACH HUGS))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))

    Faith, Biker, Makraz, Sharon, Foots, Dream, Lisa.....&  to All the A's to Z's inbetweenie's too!

    Just back from my bicycle ride of the day...... now we're off to retrieve the motorcycle, but I wanted to pause long enough to rejoice in the Julz/Sarah story for some wee bit of good news.

    Hopefully the IV will give her body some traction and we'll all continue the prayers for her strength to rebound and some wellness ahead.

    I rode over 20 miles today (forgot to see just how much over that marker) and the whole time thought of our sisters who face so much...... of course Saint at the top of my list.

    I took some pictures that I'll download as I had an idea thru my puddle-brained tears.

    The day here is gorgous, the beaches magnificent.

    hmmmmmmmm. we were supposed to be starting the big beach party............................

    instead it's more of a prayer vigil.

    perhaps the party can begin with dawn's breaking.

    sleep well my friends. sleep well.

    The danger in making a list is the obvious reality of leaving someone out. I'm taking a chance here, but I went back thru the last fourty pages or so and between my swiss cheese memory and a quick scan, this is who I am able to honor by name.

    I know that there are many who read, perhaps even lurk, and we honor your journey at the perimeter as well. Give us the honor of joining in our party this weekend!! We'd enjoy getting to know ya.

    So I'll rely on our ever popular: Everyone A to Z and Z to A and in-between, we honor you!!

    Good morning Beachettes.  Wow Faith!!  That's about the most impressive start to a morning I can ever remember.  I'm sitting here simply trying to wake up and here you've remembered everyone (hopefully;)) who has walked these shores.  Way to go gf.  I'm too pooped to even find a pic right now.  Simply praying, wishing and hoping that today is special for Saint.

    (Well, not to pooped for a little pic.)

    Hey Julz, great news about your DIL.

    BUT, you might know when the cute fellows start arriving for the party...........all of a sudden THERE you are. Hehehehehee.

    Ahem, Faith, I don't think he's got sand castles on his mind.  Embarassed

    Ya, Coonie.  You should be at the party on the beach.  Not working.  BUT, glad you are feeling well enough to go.

    I've got some chairs set up.....
