At the saddest times, there's happiness

On the day we found out my brother had to have surgery to remove the tumor, we were at our daughter's house. She invited us down for my "birthday" dinner. (My birthday was the week before.) As I'm in her bathroom sobbing about my brother she hands me a package to open. I've waited til now because it was so early.......
It's a BABY onesie!!!!!! She went to the dr. this past Monday, she was 7 wks. 2 days. Still very early to tell everyone, but she's very healthy, they heard and saw the heartbeat and our whole family needed some happy news. SIL said Mike just smiled.
Even in heartbreak there is joy.

You may cry, but I promise there's a happy ending....
Comments (15)Eldad and Audrey Hagar are the amazing people that did that rescue. It's what they do on a daily basis in Los Angeles. Eldad also goes back to his native Israel to coordinate homeless cat rescues. You can follow Eldad on Facebook and see more of his rescue videos as he posts them here: Eldad Hagar on Facebook The Hagars' rescue organization: Hope for Paws They're just a couple of the incredible people in this country who live their lives rescuing abused, neglected, and homeless animals. A couple of other worthy organizations that have people out in the field on a daily basis. Stray Rescue of Saint Louis They also have a Facebook page. Be prepared to cry tears of both sadness and joy if you decide to follow Stray Rescue's founder, Randy Grim, on Facebook. The daily travails and rescue stories from the field of a real life hero to animals are awe inspiring:Randy Grim on Facebook Inspired by Randy Grim, Monica Martino and Hush Carlisle founded Detroit Dog Rescue last year. DDR is another hands on rescue organization that is a godsend to the animal population in Detroit: Detroit Dog Rescue...See MoreNeed help...I have painted my kitchen 4 times and still not happy
Comments (64)I like what you did with the matchstick blinds and curtains, better than the roman shades. I wouldn't order those blinds if the shipping is high (I had bamboo ones in my old apartment that I bought at target for decently cheap). Not sure how to post links, as I'm to all this but try these: http://www.target.com/Bamboo-Roman-Shade-Spice/dp/B000KUCEI6/ref=br_1_5?ie=UTF8&frombrowse=1&searchView=grid5&searchNodeID=15751241&node=15751241&searchRank=salesrank&searchPage=1&searchSize=30&id=Bamboo%20Roman%20Shade%20Spice My one suggestion would be use a more colorful curtain than the white long ones. It makes the room look modern, but a bit to stark and plain. Maybe even just white with a delicate print? Maybe like these from ikea.. http://www.ikea.com/us/en/catalog/products/00135551 or these from target http://www.target.com/Home-Damask-Window-Collection/dp/B001J215Y8/ref=br_1_1?ie=UTF8&frombrowse=1&searchView=grid5&searchNodeID=596480011&node=596480011&searchRank=salesrank&searchPage=1&searchSize=30&id=Home%20Damask%20Window%20Collection (and they're on clearance for super cheap!) As for paint colors, I'm sorry I'm no help. I'm having a mini breakdown trying to decide on a palette for my house as well.. Good luck! And happy decorating!

Comments (3)What I would do is get it out this pot and place it in a plastic pot; first to check the roots again and second these teracottapots dry to fast. After repotting in a gritty mix I would place it in a light but not sunny and cool place. After a day or so a stiff watering (only if there are any roots) and forget it for a couple of weeks. By than you have luck if the plant makes a restart or you will know that it was to late. Good luck. harry All cuttings without (or hardly) roots. I placed them under the table in the greenhouse. There is light, but no sun. Most of them will make it....See MoreWhat are your watering restrictions & post your saddest drought photos
Comments (22)In my So. Maine town we are just starting to have water restrictions put into place. We have been in the extreme drought stage for quite a while. The Fire Dept. can no longer do training with fire hydrants. The water dept. will not be flushing out town pipes that they do in October of every year. No washing cars. Next week will tell if there will be a outdoor watering ban. The town has also tapped into a special pipeline set up a few years ago for surrounding communities to share when the water table gets low. We have let the grass go. Everyone's yard looks bad so I don't really mind that. We have rain barrel so I water my flower pots with that. The veggie and flower gardens are on timed soaker hoses and sprays. I don't really hold out much hope for the amount of rain we will need to get back to normal stage. Only hope is for a heavy snowfall this Winter to replenish what we need. Even though the Farmer's Almanac says it will be a good heavy snow...they said the same thing the previous year and we had no snow. Time will tell....See More
