8:00 A.M. and More...

 It was an early morning around here...we left the house around 8:00 so we could beat the traffic, and get to the oncologist office on time.  

Lab work was done and then we waited for the approval to begin the treatment.  I knew that is was taking longer than usual for them to get Sam hooked up and wasn't sure why.  The nurse eventually came out and told us that Sam could not get his treatment today due to his lab work not looking good.  

He ran fever on Tuesday and Wednesday evening .... but we were figuring it was due to the fluid being drained on Tuesday morning.  Still not sure what that was all about.  

Needless to say, he will begin a steroid pack this evening and will take it for the next seven days.  We will try again next Friday!! 

In other news:

Our granddaughter and her soon to be husband signed the papers this morning to buy a home...we are all so excited for them.

Wow..I remember the first home that Sam and I built just 3 years after we got married.  The cost? Just right at a hundred thousand dollars.  

The price of homes these days is way more than double this amount. 

🌸 🌸


My faux flowers came in from Amazon...I added them to my pots and I must say...they look pretty nice.  Solution for the hummers? I now have a feeder hanging near by.  


This beautiful blue-jay was sitting on our back fence...I kept waiting for it to face me so I could get a good picture, but that didn't happen.. 


I captured these water drops as they fell from the water spray spouts at the end of the pool...
I thought they were so cute...

That's it for me today...
See y'all tomorrow...

  9. I love the picture of you in your header. So sorry to hear about Sam's treatment. Hope the steroids work well and all goes according to plan next Friday.
    Congratulations to your granddaughter and her future husband. So exciting buying a house. My ex husband and I bought the house I live in back in 1987. Our original mortgage was 47,000 and on zillow it shows the value now at 197,000

    Your faux flowers are so pretty and bright, but the blue jay and the water drops are the best.

  13. Love the header! Praying for you and Sam, especially this coming week. So exciting for your granddaughter and soon-to-be husband buying a home - not easy for young couples today. Our first home was $10,300! Can't buy a good used car for that now - LOL!
