I've opened an EBay Shop
where you will find the children's apparel, beautiful scarves, handbags,
& tabletop items, including complete placesettings for 6, designed by me
from years of collecting.
Rockefellar Center Yesterday
& now, on to the day's thoughts:
still in quarentine
it's not bad at all as all the NECESSARY shops/stores are open.
everyone, but me, is wearing masks.
I do put plastic bags over my hands in the grocer, gas station, etc.
& WASH often, then antibacterial wipes around me & everything else, including the steering wheel, etc.
& the really good thing is that I've heard no one complain too much, and just think how much $$$ our LOCAL businesses are
losing every single day.
thankfully, most of them will have access to the funds the President has provided to small businesses. I think a "small business" is one who employs 500 people or less.
It is hard not to go to the local outdoor patio dining spots.
I DO miss that.
& now, on to the sad news of the day:
my lovely daughter-in-law has been diagnosed
with Stage 4 Cancer
in her lung & metastasized to her spine.
She will be treated at MD Anderson Hospital here in Houston,
& the physicians have indicated she is curable, but that she
has a long, hard treatment period before her, the 1st one is on Monday, a 4-hour infusion.
they have 4 little kids, aged 4-12.
her name is Gisele.
please add her to your prayers, my friends.
we all know how powerful that is.
sending love to all of you on this beautiful Saturday in Houston.
Praying in Oregon!
ReplyDeleteThank you so much ! She had her 1st chemo infusion yesterday, my son tells me she did very well, didn't get sick. We are praying.

So nice to hear from you Marsha! Agree totally on our current journey of being a temporary shut in. Regarding your lovely daughter in law- praying for her each day including your son, their children, and you. Have a lovely Sunday. HUGS.
ReplyDeleteAs we struggle through this unprecedented health emergency, we often forget those who are dealing with other struggles, medical, personal, financial. I hope and pray for your dil, give her strength of endure her treatment and her family the strength they need to adjust for that. Take great care, this virus is a killer. Here, in the North East, we are struggling to survive. God Bless.

ReplyDeleteI am so very sorry for the diagnosis of your beautiful Gisele you and she are in my heart and prayers darling. To think of her going through this, is very difficult as a young mother.
