Hello all ... after a few inquiries on where I've been lately and concerns if I'm okay ... the answers are ... I'm here, at home ... and yes, I'm fine ... and WOW, thank YOU for caring!!
I had been sick for a few weeks and then the family caught it, but we are all on the mend.
More importantly though ... my stepfather has been very ill for a long time and has spent many months in the hospital. This past week he was added to the waiting list for a liver transplant. Mom and I had a meeting with the Doctor who heads the transplant department this week .... needless to say, it's pretty 'heavy' stuff ... but we are dealing. Please, if you will, keep him in your prayers.
I thank you for your notes and concerns, I'll be fully back up to speed shortly and will be in touch.
I have NOT forgotten about the Lil' ol' Shabby giveaway !! I've only delayed picking a winner.
I will tally all entries over the weekend when I have help and announce the winner asap !!

Don't you dare worry your pretty head about us and picking a winner. You just take care of yourself and those around you. I'll be here praying in the meantime.

ReplyDeleteMy daughter has been sick with the "crud" for 4 days now. Told her I loved her, but just don't want to be around her right now. :D

Hello Jill... so sorry to hear things have not been going too well lately... my prayers are being sent to all of you... xoxo Julie Marie
ReplyDeleteJill, Several Months ago, a Dear Blog friend with a "Bazillion" followers just dropped off the map,,which worried me, and I thought, How do we keep track of blogfriends if they are not posting........??
ReplyDeleteAnd,,,,,you may think this a bit corny, but I created an "EBC".....and Emergency Blog Contact.
There is a Button on my sidebar. It's pretty and eye catching and my friend Lulu of Coastal Sisters created it.....BUT.....IF you post it somewhere on your blog, And by allowing your followers to click on it, they KNOW who to contact-Blog Friend/Hubby, etc. WHOM to contact IF you are unavailable......Illness, emergency, etc.
Saves a lot of worry and headaches......Button is on my sidebar...and YOU choose Whom you want to list as a Contact. Just a Thought. Several of my blog friends have shared this........If you care to promote, as some have, all the better!
Hugs, Love and a "Bus"
