Hi all my lovelies, letting you know that I am back but not without setbacks and need for prayer, we are all moved in to our new home but we have all been really poorly, as the cold weather did not let up and we had flu and colds twice over and I have just had a severe migraine and very sick for a whole week, I am still very weak and only just starting to get back to regular meals, as I am on thyroxine meds not having food means the meds were not working well so my body is really run down and now hoping that as at last there is some sunshine we will all start picking up.

I would really appreciate prayers for healing from the Lord.

I have some catching up to do with you folks, and will read as much as I can. hope you have all been well, you have all been in my prayers precious ones.

Love you loads. Debs.
Good to see you Debby :hug:
Praying for all your needs :crossrc:

Still trying to unwind....being with people can wear me out, yet I need to be with them anyway...I need to grow a bit in patience for sure.

Maybe you can put things back bit by bit...I do that some days after bringing in a lot of groceries...just take it in stages...everything gets done in time.

(((((hugs)))))
We got all the cleaning done and the kitchen put back together, as well as wall decorations in the living room and hall.
Tomorrow we will wash the living room rug, and later polish the wood stove.

How horrid about the Boston Marathon explosions. I got home from shopping, turned television ans a news report was on. I guess we're still pretty vulnerable in certain situations.
What a tragedy for such a wonderful event :(
There are 2 dead and upwards of 55 seriously injured.
Reports are now coming out of 2 other bombs having been found.
We got take out for supper and been glued to the tv....interspersed with times of prayer :pray:

Yes Marsha, the news was horrible....

There was 'a brief mention' on TV here
concerning the possibility of harm to a British contingent
More detailed news and pictures [incl' a video snip of the explosion]
was found on our MSN homepage 'NEWS'

Unless a 'group' claims responsibility and ~declares a motive
I would be 'open'... to consider, that this is another
'cat amongst the pigeons' / 'diversionary tactic'



I did not know anything about this bombing in Boston...
just read your post here.
Apparantly no guns were used...
people who want to harm or kill someone will find a way to do it.

Everything happens FOR A REASON [?] ~this, was not a motiveless attack



Yes....very tragic humanity does this to it's own kind :(

""humanity does this to it's own kind""

Man's 'inhumanity to man', is not, a 'new event' in the world

Like: "Mustard Gas", "Lewisite", "Sarin", "VX", "Agent Orange" and "Napalm"
to name only a few
and just how many were made in the US, would doubtless, also, surprise you

'Al Quaeda' will doubtless 'be accused' of this 'act' of inhumanity
God knows... 'who', planned and carried out this surprise attack





It is getting pretty obvious
that the crime element is on the increase....bigtime.

I wouldn't ascribe such a horrible act to the criminal fraternity
and to 'guess' in the absence of evidence ~would also, very-likely, blame the innocent




I am going to go sit and rest...turn on the tv...
I have been up a long time and busy for several days...sound familiar????
LOL I see my new dr tomorrow at 11 am.


Hoping that you have a good session with your new doctor, later-today
:prayer:

Dave, what does "'cat amongst the pigeons' / 'diversionary tactic'' mean?
I'm sorry, I've never heard that phrase?



Hello and good morning to you Tery

:wave: :hug:


Oh that, is a saying we use here

explanation:
"Throw a cat amongst the pigeons",
~causes such a degree of alarm and despondency [amongst the pigeons]
that they FORGET COMPLETELY,
what they were doing/ thinking ~to concentrate on the 'present'
consequently
leaving those otherwise important matters [like: 'politics', home, feeding, fun]
'on the back boiler'
ergo: a "diversionary tactic"

example:
WHAT ? led America to invade Iraq "in the search for WMD" ?

Now, at a time, when America, is having a truly tough time with 'swallowing'
what their President is IMPOSING upon them [?]
They are beset by yet another tragedy [to consume their thinking power]

Whoever, 'so neatly' demolished the World Trade Center Towers
gave the then President, REASON, CAUSE and NECESSARY SUPPORT ~to do
what most Americans would not agree to have happen
[were there to be no Al Quaeda, after all ?]

Especially 'suspicious', was the failure [/decision NOT TO] SHOW
the body of Bin Laden
_ie: 'the body' of the person [as shown in past media images]
or, iow: the 'FALL GUY'

WORDS are so easily spoken.... the TRUTH, can be so utterly concealed

The above is MY OPINION
Are 'thoughts', that ANY 'thinking person' could so-easily 'conjecture'

your Bro'

dave

Stopping in to say hello :wave:
I crashed early after yesterday's work and terrible news about the bombing in Boston.
We are a short drive away ~ "too close to home" as they say :(

We have a busy day today as we finish up our latest project (clean rugs, put books and tapes back on the shelves).
Ms Penny has a 'beauty' appt too :D

Be blessed today ~ please keep all the victims of the tragedy in your prayers (3 dead/ 176 seriously injured) :crossrc:

WE as a nation are getting to be shell shocked...2 ladies were discussing this in the dr's office today.

We were shook up when the rampaging cop was so close to us a few weeks back.

I have plugged in to the new office, the heart and lungs sound good...PTL, no real news to report, think that is good. Blood work will get started as soon as I get into the lab on a fasting day.

Lots of seriously injured folks out there today...many lost legs....:doh::doh::doh:

Shirley ~ Happy to hear your check up went well; hope you're blessed by this new doc :pray:

Penny came back from the groomer looking beautiful and smelling sweet :D

We never did get the books/cds back up today (there is always 'tomorrow' ;)), but the carpets were all cleaned and the furniture put pack :thumbsup:

On our 'to do' list ~ prep the garden and start seedlings (soon),and clean the cellar (during black fly season).

When we recover :p we'd like to re-paint a bedroom, the PC room (new rug in there), and polyurethane our 4 season (all PINE porch), finish painting the outside of the house.

We have all of retirement for these chores; they will get done when we get to them (minus the garden of course) :pray:

We're going to sleep well again tonight :yawn:

I was very sad to hear about the horrible events in Boston. I'm listening to a news brief about it right now. The families effected will be in my prayers.
