Today is the Day!!!
Well its finally here. The Big Day!!! Its amazing how my family just jumped in and cleaned house with me!! My husband usually helps, but WOW WOW WOW!! Everything is in its place and shiny clean…LOL!!! We’ve got our Spring Cleaning done a bit early…YIPPEE!!!!
Well, I must admit I’m somewhat afraid if this weather gets worse the home visit will be rescheduled :( So I’m praying really hard.
We brought dinner next door to my Dads, he requested BLT’s. I made some healthy potato salad (fat free mayo, lots of celery & onions) and no dessert (Dad was sad about that). He ate twice as much as I’ve ever seen him eat. I swear my brother and sister in law just don’t get it. They continue to cook foods he doesn’t like. We got him on the scale and he’s lost so much weight. He always weighed around 178, last night the scale said 162. I just wanted to cry. But I know, I’m stepping back and really putting this into Gods hands. I really need the strength to get through this.
Ok…best buddys ever, I’m going to go for now. I want to make some chili (with turkey not beef) so its simmering all day and ready for dinner.
Healthy Happy Thoughts to all!!

There is no need to pray the problem. What we need to do is zero in on the answer. Pray and speak the answer; cast the problem over on Him

Woohoo, the day is finally here! Keep us posted on how things work out! I’ll be thinking of you!
Maybe some gentle guidance or suggestions to your brother and sis-in-law? Look at it this way. They are at least trying and pitching in, so that’s an improvement, right?
I’m all goosebumpy and excited about your visit today! I know how anxious you must feel too. Bet that simmering pot of chili is going to smell wonderful and comforting to them the minute they walk through the door. What a better way to give a great first impression, you smart lady you.
Tell Alan that I REALLY REALLY need help getting my windows spring cleaned. I only have 13 of em on the back porch. Getting hard to see my deer and birds and squirrels back there, ya know? LOL
Have a great day buddy, and lemme know how the visit goes…. *crosses fingers for Jane*
Hugggggggggggs,
Shan
You continue to do what you are doing and you are going to be blessed! Well we had to clean to get the house on the market…that’s the only reason I beat you…I usually hire someone to do that for me! But my husband took off three days and I had to pitch in! Great job isn’t it wonderful having a nice clean fresh house! We moved everything around it looks so big and empty in my home now!!! Keep loving and feeding dad. He will be in my prayers!!!
Wow, can you all come my way to clean? lol
Good luck with the home visit. Chili sounds great! I make mine with turkey too!
God bless you for all you are doing! Your dad is so lucky to have you! Can I come to your house for chili? Hugs, Kama

Jane, I know you didn’t ask for advice, but how about taking food to dad every day? He needs to be healthy and strong….
