good Saturday morning, dear friends.
the past two days have held joy and bittersweet
for me and my family.
we spent Thanksgiving at Chrislyn, Jason and Holland's
home. our hearts were filled with joy and our tummies
with yummies. Chrislyn cooked the turkey with all
the trimmings, and the beautiful desserts. i made all of the "sides",
Mr D and i transported them layered in a big wicker baskets
wrapped in vintage tablecloths from Grandpa Bozzello's Italian
Village restaurant. we danced and sang with Holland.
grand parenting is heaven on earth!
{it was also my father's 83rd birthday. he is well. thank you, God.}
Mom, however, became very ill on Thanksgiving morning.
Dad took her to the emergency room.
she had a brain bleed. they transported her to a
bigger hospital in the city. she is now in a neuroscience
intensive care unit at Saint Joseph's.
she is conscious. the pain is worse than a migraine.
i think it even hurts to talk!
i think it even hurts to talk!
Mom has had a very tough two and one half months, starting with
her fall in September. i have held onto all of your prayers, friendship
and encouragement. she's going to win this battle, as she is
surrounded by brilliance, love and prayers!
during the trying two days we have been blessed with joy...
our beloved Washington State Cougars won the Apple Cup, yesterday.
( we were HUGE underdogs)
those of you that follow me, know that my son is a sportscaster in Boise.
he loves to spend Thanksgiving Day out covering family and friend
turkey bowl games. this year he reported a sweet surprise!
visit here!
Jay always makes me smile! ( i'm not quite sure if he was
on team Turduckin or team Cornucopia )
life is beautiful...life is joy!
thanks for listening...
withLove.
