ALWAYS IN OUR HEART
ELISABETH, I LOVE YOU MY DEAR FRIEND.
I HAVE BEEN ILL AND AWAY FROM THE COMPUTER
FOR ALMOST 2 WEEKS. JUST TODAY I LEARNED OF
ROY'S PASSING UNTO HIS SAVIOUR'S ARMS.. HE PUT UP A
REMARKABLE FIGHT AND HE EARNED HIS CROWN.
I WOULD LIKE FOR EVERYONE TO GO TO YOUR BLOG
AND READ ABOUT THE "DRAGON-FLY." YOU WILL BE
SO VERY BLESSED. I WILL BE E-MAILING YOU MY
FRIEND. I AM SO VERY SORRY BUT ELATED HE SENT
YOU A BLUE
TAIL DRAGON-FLY. YOU WERE/ARE A
WONDERFUL WIFE AND HE LOVED YOU AND THE
KIDS AND YOUR PRECIOUS GRANDCHILD
SO VERY MUCH.
AS YOU KNOW I BELONG TO THE
BLISSFULL ATC SWAP. IT WAS CREATED BY
OUR LOVELY HOSTESSES WENDY AND DEBBIE.
YOU MAY CLICK ON THE BUTTON ABOVE ON MY
RIGHT SIDE BAR.
THEY AS WELL AS ALL OF US WOULD LOVE
FOR NEW PEOPLE TO JOIN US. IT IS A LOT
OF FUN AND CAN BE ADDICTING...I HAVE MY CARDS
MADE THROUGH FEBRUARY AND SO DOES MY
AWESOME FRIEND DeeDee. LOVE YOU GIRL.
EACH MONTH THERE IS A NEW THEME.
SEPTEMBER'S THEME WAS:
"LEAVES."
MY SWAP PARTNER WAS POLLY. I WENT TO
HER BLOG TO SEE WHAT SHE LIKED AND
LAVENDER/PURPLE WERE HER FAVORITE COLORS
BUT SHE ALSO LIKES ALL PASTEL COLORS.
POLLY HAD A VERY SAD/ANGRY/HORRIFYING...ANY
WORD YOU CAN THINK OF INCIDENT
HAPPEN TO HER.....HER
PURSE WITH ALL HER MONEY TO PAY THE BILLS
FOR SEPTEMBER AND ALL HER IDENTITY WAS
STOLEN OUT OF HER CART. PLEASE PRAY
GOD WILL DO A BIG MIRACLE FOR HER.
THAT IS A BIG REMINDER TO ALL OF US, WITH
THE HOLIDAYS APPROACHING TO TAKE PRE-
CAUTION WITH OUR PURSES.
IT IS THE SEASON OF GIVING BUT IT IS ALSO
THE SEASON OF STEALING....ALL THE BAD
COMES OUT WITH THE GOOD.
THIS IS MY ATC FOR POLLY.
I USED AN OLD GREETING CARD FOR LAVENDER
HYDRANGEA LEAVES...LAVENDER SCRAPBOOK
PAPER TO COVER THE PLAYING CARD...
2 CANCELLED STAMPS THAT WERE PURPLE
WITH GREEN LEAVES, GLITTER GEL...GLUE
STICK...PIECE OF PEARL LACE SHAPED LIKE
A LEAF...A PUFFED FELT HEART AND ORGANZA
RIBBON...TYPED GREEN LETTERS SPELLING
LEAVES...AND A PURPLE STICKER ON THE BACK
THAT SAID FRIENDSHIP. EVERY ATC I MAKE IS
ONE OF A KIND....OFTEN I CUT APART MY
VINTAGE CARDS AND SO I DO NOT MAKE ONE
TO KEEP FOR MYSELF.
HAVE YOU ALL MET THE TALENTED CINDY
ADKINS? YOU CAN ARRIVE AT HER BLOGS BY
CLICKING ON THE BUTTONS ON MY SIDE BAR.
IF YOU HAVE NOT MET HER, PLEASE STOP
BY AND VISIT HER BLOGS. YOU WILL BE
SO BLESSED.
SHE IS A BEAUTIFUL PERSON INSIDE AND OUT
AND AN AWESOME CHRISTIAN. SHE HAS HAD
HER OWN CHALLENGES RECENTLY AND WOULD
NOT SUCCUMB TO THE PLANS OF THE DEVIL.
WE CAN (AND WILL) DO ALL THINGS THROUGH
CHRIST WHOM STRENGTHENS US. PLEASE
REMEMBER HER IN PRAYER.
SHE SENT ME THE MOST GLORIOUS PACKAGE.
EVERYTHING WAS CAREFULLY CONTAINED IN A
SEWN BURLAP BAG WITH A GORGEOUS
NECKLACE WHICH MR. SIMPLY IS WEARING
WITH GREAT PRIDE AND THE BIBLE TAG
IS AWESOME. I HAVE IT IN THE BOOK I AM
READING BY MICHIELLE SULLIVAN..."WHY MY
CHILD LORD?" SHE ALSO INCLUDED SOME
TICKETS WHICH TICKLED ME PINK...LOL
CINDY, I JUST LOVE AND ADORE YOU AND YOUR
PRECIOUS SPIRIT. YOU COULD NOT HAVE GIVEN
ME A MORE PERFECT GIFT. GOD IS GOOD...ISN'T
HE. IT IS EXCITING TO SEE WHAT HE IS GOING
TO DO NEXT.
THIS IS A PRECIOUS LADY IN MY LIFE.
THIS IS MY MOTHER-IN-LOVE OR ALSO
KNOWN AS MOTHER-IN-LAW.
ON SEPTEMBER 6, 2010 SHE TURNED
90 YEARS OLD.
I TOLD HER SHE WAS GOING TO LIVE
FOREVER. WE DID NOT GET TO GO TO
HER BIRTHDAY CELEBRATION AS HER BABY
BOY, MR. SIMPLY WAS SICK. ONE OF US HAS
BEEN SICK OFF AND ON FOR A MONTH.
SOME OF YOU KNOW BUT SHE HAS BEEN
THROUGH A LOT SINCE SHE TURNED 78
YEARS OLD.....
CANCER OF THE BREAST WITH A MASTECTOMY,
LUNG CANCER(NEVER SMOKED A DAY IN HER LIFE),
FELL AND BROKE HER SHOULDER JOINT OFF THE BONE
AND WAITED UNTIL 0300 TO TELL AJ, MY FATHER-IN-
LOVE THAT SHE NEEDED TO GO TO THE HOSPITAL...
YOU CAN IMAGINE HIS SHOCK AND IT TELLS OF HER
PAIN TOLERANCE...HER OLDEST SON AND MR. SIMPLY'S
BROTHER GRADUATED TO HEAVEN AFTER A VALIANT
BATTLE WITH LIVER CANCER. SHE TAUGHT KINDER-
GARTEN FOR YEARS AND IT BRINGS HER MUCH
JOY WHEN SHE SEES HER LITTLE STUDENTS
ALL GROWN UP.
SHE IS AN AWESOME GRANDMOTHER AND GREAT
GRANDMOTHER....AND SO IS AJ...AN AWESOME PAPA.
I MIGHT ADD RICHIE IS THEIR ONLY GRANDSON
BUT THEIR GRANDDAUGHTER LAURA GAVE THEM
A GREAT GRANDSON. AMY WAS THEIR FIRST
GRANDCHILD AND I HAVE SO MANY WONDERFUL
MEMORIES OF THE THREE OF THEM TOGETHER.
WHEN SHE WAS FIRST BORN, IRENE SENT HER
A BIRTHDAY CARD EVERY WEEK. AMY LOVED
HER AND PAPA SO VERY MUCH. WHAT A
JOYOUS REUNION IT WILL BE ONE DAY.
HAPPY 90TH BIRTHDAY IRENE AND NOW YOU CAN
HAVE A PEP IN YOUR STEP!!!!! STAY OFF THE
SKATEBOARD THOUGH, BECAUSE YOUR BONES
ARE BRITTLE....LOL SHE WON'T EVEN SEE THIS,
I JUST WANTED YOU TO KNOW ABOUT HER.
THIS IS AN AWESOME TREE. I FOUND THE IMAGE
ON GOOGLE. WHEN I SAW IT, IT MADE THINK OF THE
SCRIPTURE THAT SAYS....."DANCE LIKE DAVID DID BEFORE
THE LORD."
AND KEEP YOU UNTIL WE BLOG AGAIN.
YOU ARE AWESOME.
HOPE
IS WHAT EVERYONE NEEDS NOW...
THAT AND A FEW GOLD BARS TO SELL...LOL
"NOW THE GOD OF HOPE FILL YOU
WITH ALL JOY AND PEACE IN BELIEVING,
THAT YE MAY ABOUND IN HOPE,
THROUGH THE POWER OF THE
HOLY GHOST."
