My Dear Sweet Micki I haven't been on the Forum lately but tonight I couldn't sleep so I got on to see what everyone is up to. I always go to Conversations first, when I started reading your post I got so scared for you, immediately said a prayer while I read the posts than the Good News. I know going thru Radiation again is difficult but the fact that your doctors checked again and got the results almost immediately is awesome. Everyone has posted just what I feel about you and how much you mean to me for all you did for me. My "Healing Tree" is still up and I will never take it down. It is to remind me that God is Good and that you are my Special Angel. And each ornament was made with a prayer for my recovery by my fellow "Junkee" Angels. How blessed we are to have such friends. Prayers on the way! Love as Always NanaGrandma/Sylvia

Guess the photo doesnt show well, it is gilded gold. I aged spots and sanded down for patina look. Only thing I need to do is add the red cushion. See if details show better in this photo..... Here is a link that might be useful: details

Jo, how true is that!!! after seeing this pic, I was talking about this with my parents. They said, they feel very fresh and energetic after a walk in the garden now and also back in village. You know my dad never been to hospital or taken any medicine so far! Their secret is not to worry about any thing just take it easy, laugh like a kids, enjoy gardening, mom said healthy looking plants makes her more happier and healthier. Garden is biggest stress reliever for me! -Chandra

Terri, that was a very fun link. I meant to take a quick look too, and ended up reading most of her blog. Saved it so I can check out some of her links as time permits. Thanks for sharing it. Here is one section of her blog where she shares something her MIL used to do--it seemed quite a good suggestion for some of us too. Take a look: "My mother in law likes to entertain one on one. She'll invite a girlfriend over for lunch or for dinner. She has easily half a dozen sets of dishes that only have two place settings. Sure makes storing them easier and whatever your mood you have the appropriate dinnerware." She goes on to state that her Mom loved to entertain and had bought place settings for 60! I can't even imagine that! Wow! I liked her writing style too, and saved the idea about the silver tray with candles, silver ornaments and greenery. Right up my alley, so to speak! LOL Can't wait to browse on there more, but I better get busy doing things around this place today--waaay to easy to stay on this computer too much! Luvs
