This is what it look like after the two snow days we got . But the past three days it's been melting.
Ted doesn't shovel snow and I was not suppose to. .. So Ted clear a little path on the porch and I did a path to the mailbox. This snow will be gone in a couple more days, as the temperatures are going into the high 40's and low 50's. The weathergirl said 88 more days till Spring. Hooray.
This is the top of my oldest daughter's tree. Her dad and I bought this angel when Angie was three weeks old. So I have given it to her. She cherishes it.
Ted is doing better as the weeks go by. He has a couple appointments this coming week. Then will have maintenance chemo at the end of the month. It still takes his energy a few weeks to come back after the chemo.
I went to the chiropractor after I took those inflammation meds for 10 days. He popped my spine back into line. Told me to not carry wood , shovel snow , or dance the twist. Well I won't be doing any of that for awhile. :) Slowly feeling better and the pain has eased enough that one extra strength tylenol takes care of it. Thanks for all your prayers and kind wishes. You have helped us so much.
Wishing all of you a Merry Christmas. A blessed New Year of good health and happiness. XO
Praise God you are feeling better! What an extraordinary journey you have been on this year. I’m so glad you are in this moment and not back at the beginning. You have been stronger than you ever dreamed you could be and I know God is so proud of you. Praying 2020 is going to be a year of health and happiness for you and Ted. Life will never be the same after all you’ve been through....it will be deeper and more precious than ever. Louis Dean and I love you and Ted like family.....someday we may take a road trip just to visit with y’all. We are thinking about buying a new car in the next few years. I’m smiling as I write because I can already imagine all the fun we will have. Instead of traveling to see things....we are thinking of traveling to see FRIENDS! Merry Christmas!
ReplyDeleteThank you Linda. I have been blessed with friends and family, prayers and good wishes. There were times this past year where I did not know if I could go another day. We still have about 4 more chemo treatments, God willing no unexpected things happen. I have thanked our Lord for my back finally easing up. Wow, that was a rough stretch. You will laugh, but I told Ted two days ago...we need to get well and go to Texas some time next year. :) Thank you for the prayers and kind words you have sent for us. Blessings and Merry Christmas, love you both so much, xoxo, Susie
DeleteHope you soon are back in the groove. Glad Ted is improving. WE down here love to see snow, it is beautiful. But at 80 years, we will try to only see it in pictures. Glad to see the post. Good read and love the pictures. Yes about the angel, I cna see why it is cherished.

DeleteHi Susie,
ReplyDeleteGlad to hear your back is doing so much better. I am happy we are having the mild temps too. We did not get the snow you guys got but we are going to have the warm days. Maybe 58 on Christmas Day. It will feel more like Easter weather. I am ok with these mild temps because as you know it can change on a dime and we still have Jan. through April to go. Have a beautiful Christmas.
Hugs,
Kris
Oh Kris, bless your heart, you sound just like me. I am loving this sunshine and the melting of the snow. It was too soon for so much snow. Wishing all of you a merry Christmas too. Blessings, xoxo,love, Susie

ReplyDeleteHi Rachel. Thank you for all the kind wishes . It means so much. I want to wish you a joyous Christmas. Hope you got to see all the pretty lights in Indy this year. Blessings, xoxo, Susie
DeleteSo happy to hear improvements on both your parts! Keep taking it easy. I love your tradition of the angel. We also have an angel that we have had since we were first married. Our daughter still has the "job" of putting it on the tree every year! -Jenn
ReplyDeleteJenn, I love that you have a special angel also. I know your daughter loves putting that angel on the tree. My daughters always had a favorites they would put on our tree each year. For years I made everyone a special ornament...then when the grads married they got to take theirs with them. Blessings for a Merry Christmas. xoxo, Susie
DeleteSo thankful that you are feeling better. I know the pain of carrying wood daily as that is what we heat with and it is getting harder daily. I hope we can do a pellet stove next year. I need my Pink Zebra fragrances to improve in sales so that I can purchase it.
ReplyDeleteI just found your card that I thought I placed in the mail, so I am just going to wish you a very Merry Christmas here! Hope Ted continues to rise above his illness and heal!!
Thank you so much Carol. I told Ted we need to move back to town...where live isn't so pioneer like. Less property to care for. I just would love to have gas logs for a fire. LOL. We use LP and the fireplace. I just am not a big fan...too dusty and too much work. Thank you for the good wishes. Ted is getting better, but the maintenance chemo will make him weak. Blessings for a beautiful Christmas . xoxo, Susie
DeleteHi Susie :) Oh I'm happy your back is doing better...no dancing the twist, well I'll be darned... ;) I don't dance the twist either, no loss there!
ReplyDelete88 days until spring? I wish! We have about 5 more months to go!

ReplyDeleteGlad the chiropractor got your back feeling better. No dancing the twist for you or me. Wishes to you and to Ted for a blessed Christmas. Lots of love!
Thank you Carol. Some times when I see scenes of NYC , I think of you . My great granddaughter said Yesterday.."I wish I was in NYC" She 4 years old...so funny, but I agreed and said "Me too". Blessings to you for a wonderful holiday and I pray we all have a better new year. xoxo, Susie

ReplyDeleteLove to you!

DeleteHi Laurie, I am so glad we became friends thru blogging. I will pray for Garry Mother. So sad. Chemo will be hard on her at that age. But if she is a strong fighter that will help. Tell her many are praying for her. Merry Christmas to all your family. We are just sitting around today we will gather tomorrow. This let's those with little ones enjoy their day in their own homes. That's what Christmas is for the little ones. Blessings to all of you for a fabulous new year. xoxo,love, Susie
ReplyDeleteGlad to hear that your pain is easing. Love your daughter's tree topper. Have a happy 2020.
ReplyDeleteThank you. I pray the new year is better for Ted and I and everyone else. It's seems to have been a tough year for our country at times too. Blessings to you, xoxo, Susie
DeletePrayers for a Happy Healthy New Year and may 2020 be a Great Year for you !
ReplyDeleteI hope you had a wonderful Christmas, Susie. It's so pretty around your neck of the woods. I always tell people that I wish it would snow here. The angel on top of Angie's tree is beautiful. It looks like it lights up. I'm glad Ted is doing better, and that your back and spine feels better too. Be careful not to lift anything heavy right now or shovel snow.
ReplyDeleteWishing you so much goodness in the new year, Susie.
love, ~Sheri

ReplyDeleteWhile Mother Nature will eventually do the work needed to create compost from a backyard pile, even if it is not actively tended, you can give her a helping hand by adding compost starter to the mix. satta king

Want to get rid of that pesky cellulite? Rub some coffee grounds into the area. Give it a good, deep massage and allow the coffee to exfoliate the top layers of skin. Add a little olive oil for lubrication and to ensure the coffee doesn't just fall off all over your floor.

You should be doing at least fifteen squats per workout to ensure the best results. If you can do more, go for it! The tighter your legs are, the leaner they will look.
