Say a little prayer for Luna...
Comments (75)I'm checking in, and wanted to say a heartfelt thank you to everyone for all your support. We got the news on the road, while on the way to a windpower conference and the last fews days have felt pretty dark. I won't see Luna until Saturday, which feels weird since she's always gone with us when we traveled. It's truly a Mercury Retrograde moment, since this is old ground I have covered once before with our last golden. I'm trying to focus like a laser on the fact that she's feeling better for this day, and remind myself that the present is just that...a gift. Peppi, I'll check my mail as soon as I get home. David, I saw your post about Lucy and wanted so much to respond, but your story flooded me with my own memories of my last golden who had lung cancer, and I couldn't see the keyboard to let you know that. Please know you were (and still are) in my thoughts, even though I couldn't say so at the time. I'm so appreciative for all of you. I'm taking my girl swimming as soon as she can go; it's one of her favorite things to do and we're going to do it as much as we can while she feels like it. I keep looking for the blessings, and count all of you as mine....See MoreSay a prayer--I'm about to use some Ardex-self leveler!!
Comments (25)Glenn and Nick--you guys have been so nice and encouraging and helpful! I wish you lived nearby--I'd bake you a cake or make you a great steak dinner or somethin'!! :o) Yep, I will not be happy with this floor till I do some of that Henry's fill! We have one more bag of the Ardex left, and I've toyed with putting it down and hoping it will fix the slight inequities but---the stuff that has been down since yesterday around 1:30 p.m. still 'looks' uncured, enough, to me (the novice) to feel safe putting a moisture barrier on and start laying the planking down. If it's taking so long to cure then we'd be out another couple of days and we will have lost our window of opportunity to have our one SIL helps us lay the floor (he's working off a loan to do it) even though I feel very confident I could do that part on my own with hubby making all the cuts! We just need to let him do this! :o) So, I'm glad to hear I can just put 'Henry' over the Ardex without priming--I had guessed that might be the case but I also thought I might have to prime the Ardex that's down, in order to put more Ardex on top, so that would add to the delay considerably, as well, and then if the floor indeed is not completely cured, I might not should put the primer on it, just yet--which again....etc.!! So, trying to use some logic--I guess it's good ole' Henry! :o) I so appreciate the support you guys have given me, again, and I heartily thank you, again!!!! :o) We need to save as much money as we can on this project, given the 60%+ loss everyone invested have lost, and had counted on to make retirement more 'doable' and without your help we might have had to forget the flooring we have, sell it to our daughter and SIL and gotten carpet, which would still have been more expensive than the deal we got on this stuff!!! Sigh--if we were just starting out with this project, and didn't have the flooring from last summer, we would not have undertaken doing it at all, at this time!!!...See MoreTubes tied then those two little pink lines prayers now
Comments (19)I have a friend that welcomed baby #4 that way too. I also know someone who had 3 kids already. Four days before her third child was to begin kindergaten she found out she was pregnant with #4. During the kindergaten open house other moms kept saying to her "It must be great having them ALL in school now!" She could'nt say a word. What is it with #4? God must really like that number. You seem to be in good spirits. Babies are not bad things. God must think that your a good mommy to give you another....See MoreLittle Bradley is in need of MaJoR PraYerS!
Comments (37)I've been praying for Bradley, his family and his medical team ... his whole situation is so very sad. This poor little guy has just been through hell and he's never really gotten the chance to just be a little boy! His family seems to have a strong faith, this is so necessary to copy with the unfairness of life....See MorePawprint
