Anthony had to have surgery and he was still in pain when he came home. We thought he’d feel better in a few days but he didn’t so he went back to the dr. When they examined him they saw that they had cut into a polyp.They sent him to the hospital and he had to stay for a few days. He’s home now but still in pain, but not as bad as before.

A Favorite Bible Verse…
“Take therefore no thought for the morrow: for the morrow shall take thought for the things of itself. Sufficient unto the day is the evil thereof.”
Matthew 6:34
KJV

Grateful
My dog was shaking her head and rubbing her right ear on stuff and wasn’t eating as much so I took her to the vet. The vet put her on 1/2 an Enrolfloxcin pill twice a day with food. She’s eating normal and hasn’t shaken her head once since the first dose got into her system. I’m very happy about that! It cost $350.52 for the visit but I would have gladly paid way more than that to get her feeling better! Yesterday we took her with us to a flea market and she was wagging her tail the whole time we were there. We plan on taking her every time we go from now on. So many people stopped us to tell us how cute she is.

To Do List…
Nothing planned

A Favorite Bible Verse…
“Then Jesus told him, ‘Because you have seen me, you have believed; blessed are those who have not seen and yet have believed.’ ”
John 20:29

Grateful
That my daughter has started walking quite a lot every day. She used to come over and do some exercise videos with me when I lived 2 streets from her but now I’m 30 minutes away and she’s working now so we don’t get to see each other like we used to. She is so uncoordinated that we were laughing the whole time we were exercising. Now she’s walking on a treadmill.

Mailbox  Monday 

A gathering place for readers to share books that they
added to their shelves or E-reader the previous week

When I stopped hosting this blog hop in ’16 on the Mailbox Monday blog there were a lot of  people linking up. Now just a few are. The same thing happened when Weekend Cooking and a few other blog hops switched sites.  Makes me sad.

A Favorite Bible Verse…
“2 Thessalonians 2:16-1

17 Comfort your hearts, and stablish you in every good word and work

Grateful
My son Jeremy, my daughter in law Susie, granddaughter Arianna, her  fiancé Skyler, and my granddog Copper went to North Caroline and are on their way home. I got to take care of my grandcat Tater TotTot. I want to keep him for my very own but they want to keep him too. Guess who is going to win? Not me. I’m sad but he does live next door, so I can see him every day so that makes me happy!
