LIFE IS PRECIOUS ENJOY EACH DAY

HELLO ALL
TODAY LOOKING OUT AT THE MOST GLOOMY DAY. RAINING AND DARK AND DAMP, I FEEL DOWN. NOT BECAUSE OF THE WEATHER BUT BECAUSE OF THE RECENT NEWS WE HAVE RECEIVED.. MY DAUGHTER-IN-LAW MARIA WAS DIGNOSED WITH COLON CANCER. WE JUST FOUND OUT THE SIZE IS BIGGER THAN THE FIRST WE THOUGHT. IT IS GRADE 2 AND SHE WILL BE GETTING OPERATED ON VERY SOON. WE HOPE IN OUR HEARTS AND SOULS THAT SHE MAKES A COMPLETE RECOVEREY.
MY SON IS EVERYWOMAN'S DREAM. HE IS COMPASSIONATE, CARING, LOVING AND ALWAYS BACKS HER UP RIGHT OR WRONG. THIS IS THE PERFECT MAN. THERE ISN'T TOO MANY OF THESE AROUND BUT RALPH IS ONE OF A KIND. HE IS A WONDERFUL SON, WONDERFUL HUSBAND AND A GREAT FATHER.... SO MARIA HAS A WONDERFUL MAN AT HER SIDE. IN THESE TIRING DAYS AHEAD WE WILL, AS A FAMILY, WILL WORK TOGETHER. HE WILL BE AT HER SIDE AT ALL TIMES BECAUSE HE WANTS TO BE AND NOT BECAUSE HE HAS TO BE. SO ENJOY YOUR LIFE AS IF THE LAST DAY MAY BE TODAY BECAUSE TOMORROW MAY NEVER COME. GOSH WE HAVE HAD SO MUCH GOING ON IN THE PAST FEW YEARS. MY DAUGHTER HAVING BREAST CANCER, MYSELF HAVING SKIN CANCER, MY HUSBAND WITH A HEART CONDITION AND SKIN CANCER, AND NOW MY DAUGHTER-IN-LAW HAVING COLON CANCER. WHAT NEXT? WELL WE LEAVE IT INTO GOD'S HANDS AND HOPE FOR THE BEST...

THANK YOU FOR COMING HERE AND READING MY POSTS. I WILL HAVE MORE TO REPORT SOON AND I HOPE IT IS ALL GOOD NEWS...
FALL HUGS,

MY BELLA MIA

I WANTED TO SHARE WITH YOU MY LITTLE 5 LB. YORKIE. BELLA MIA IS HER NAME AND SHE IS LOVEABLE, SPOILED AND WONDERFUL TO HAVE AROUND.

BELLA IS A 11 MONTH YORKIE COMING FROM A WONDERFUL WOMAN WHICH RAISES YORKIES... SHE IS SWEET, ADORABLE, LOVEABLE, FRIENDLY AND LOVES CHILDREN. THANK GOODNESS SHE LOVE CHILDREN, FOR MY GRANDCHILDREN REALLY LIKES HER.. SHE IS SPUNKY AND HOPS AROUND JUST LIKE A BUNNY. SHE IS TRAINED LIKE A CAT WOULD BE. YES, SHE GOES INTO A LITTER BOX. INSTEAD OF CAT LITTER, WE USE PAPER WHICH SHE DOESN'T MIND ONE BIT. THIS WAY WHEN THE BAD WEATHER COMES WE DON'T HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT TAKING HER OUT INTO 5 FEET OF SNOW OR RAINY.... OR THE COLD, ITSELF... NOW BELLA HAD HER FIRST GROOMING AND MOTHER HERE WAS QUITE WORRIED. I THOUGHT SHE WOULD BE A LITTLE NASTY OR SOMETHING WOULD BE WRONG. SHE CAME THROUGH IT LIKE A TROOPER... THANK GOD... THEY LOVED HER AND YES SHE WALKED AROUND THAT KENNEL AS IF SHE OWNED THE PLACE. BIG DOGS, MEDIUM DOGS, LITTLE DOGS, SHE DIDN'T CARE. SHE WOULD GO UP TO THEM AND TALK TO THEM AND WAG HER TAIL LIKE A LITTLE FAN, SO I WAS TOLD.

BELLA IS NOT A YAPER THANK YOU LORD. O SHE BARKS WHEN SOMETHING HAPPENS THAT SHE DOESN'T UNDERSTAND, LIKE WHEN MY REF. MAKES ICE CUBES AND THEY DROP, SHE WILL BARK SOMETIMES. BUT WITH PEOPLE AND NOISE NO BARKING. WHEN SOMEONE COMES SOMETIMES SHE WILL BARK AND THEN STOP AS SOON AS SHE SEE WHO IT IS...

WE LOVE HER AND ENJOY HER SO MUCH. YOU KNOW THESE DOGS BECOME YOUR KIDS WHEN ALL OF THE KIDS ARE GONE... SHE KEEPS US COMPANY AND ALWAYS IS UNDER YOUR FEET. SO I AM GETTING HER A BELL TO GO AROUND HER NECK. SO HOPS LIKE A BUNNY GOES POTTY LIKE A CAT. WONDER WHEN THE DOG WILL COME IN PLAY? I WONDER.. HEE HEE
WELL TILL NEXT TIME BE SAFE, TRY TO STAY WARM AND STAY AWAY FROM FALLING TREES.

TODAY I RECEIVED 3 PHONE CALLS ABOUT MY HOOKED RUGS. WELL I SHOULD SAY MY NEEDLEPUNCH RUGS THAT I MADE WITH AMY OXFORD'S SIZE 10 NEEDLE... WELL THEY MUST HAVE BEEN A BIG HIT. THREE PEOPLE LOVED THE LOOK AND ORDERED RUGS.... I AM SO HAPPY. NOT ONLY DID I MAKE MONEY YESTERDAY AND TODAY I GET THESE PHONE CALLS.. THE RUGS WENT OVER SO WELL.

DOING SPECIAL ORDERS IS THE KIND OF WORK I LOVE DOING. USING THE CUSTOMER'S COLORS AND ALL.. I DESIGN THE RUG AND USE COLORS THAT THEY HAVE IN THEIR HOMES.

ALSO THE MERCANTILE GATHERINGS MAGAZINE WAS A HUGE HIT. AND I MEAN HUGE... EVERYONE WANTED THE TELEPHONE NO. TO CALL BECAUSE THEY WANTED TO BUY IT. I DIDN'T HAVE ANY TO SELL BUT IF I DID I WOULD HAVE SOLD THEM ALL. MY ARTICLE WAS THE TALK OF THE SHOW. EVERYONE THOUGHT THEY WERE IN A FAMOUS PERSON'S BUILDING.. ONLY ME, OF COURSE, NO FAMOUS PERSON... BUT DID THAT MAKE ME FEEL GOOD.

THAT MAGAZINE IS GOING TO BE REAL BIG AND SOON. IT WILL BECOME THE LEADING MAGAZINE, I JUST KNOW THAT. AND EACH AND EVERYONE OF US SHOULD SUPPORT THEM AS MUCH AS WE CAN.. THEY DESERVE IT.

BOTH TWIGS, FAY, AND CHERYL... HATS OFF TO THEM.. YIPEEEEEEEEEE

BUT WANTED TO SHARE WITH YOU ALL THE GREAT NEWS TODAY ABOUT THE 3 BIG SALES I MADE ON MY RUGS... GOSH IT WAS A TOTAL SURPRISE AND A WONDERFUL SURPRISE..

WHEN RETURING HOME TO GET READY FOR TOMORROW OH YES THE SHOW IS TOMORROW AS WELL, I THOUGHT I WIOULD TAKE A REAL WARM BATH.. WELL THEN THE TROUBLE STARTED.. WATER WAS ALL OVER BY ONE END OF THE TUB AND UNDER A SIDE TABLE I HAVE NEAR THE TUB HOLDING SOME ITEMS..

DO I CALL A PLUMBER AND USE UP ALL OF MY PROFITS. YOU KNOW PLUMBERS ARE LIKE THE GAS PRICES ALWAYS GOING UP. WELL I WIPED UP THE WATER AND WILL WAIT TILL THE NEXT BATH WHICH WILL BE TOMORROW EVENING AFTER I COME HOME FROM THE SHOW HOPING WE DON'T HAVE DUCK WEATHER...

USING WOOL I HAVE DYED AND MY DESIGNS... ALSO I DO HAND-MADE NEEDLEPUNCH HOOK RUGS. THESE ARE MADE WITH YARN... GOSH THE BACKS LOOKS JUST AS GOOD AS THE FRONT OF THESE RUGS... THEY ARE ALSO DONE ON MONK'S CLOTH OR WEAVERS CLOTH.. MY OWN DESIGNS AND LENZIE MY FRIEND DYES THE YARN.
