TGIF!

Actually, Thank God EVERY DAY! Another beautiful day in Spokane…

"OOH! OOH! OOH! Lookin' out my "front" door…."

Unpacking, on my knees for Kelli A., last cleaning run up the mountain, errand run, appetizer prep., and the grand finale for the day: my sweet hubs is taking me out to lobster dinner on the river in celebration of my cancer FREE/end of R! Our Spokane kids will join us-can't wait!

Prayer Warriors: Please join me at 10:00 a.m. this morning to rally pray for Kelli A., who is having mastectomy surgery at that time. Also, please continue prayers for: Jim and Marilyn, Ike (has appt. with specialist in Fargo, ND May 17th!) and Dawn, Mark and Corine, Betsey, Jo and Jon, Greg, and all lost, hurting, hungry, jobless, ill, fighting, homeless, and searching souls. AND…remember to CoUnT YoUr BlEsSiNgS!

Remember: get your "baby guess" in soon! The contest ends (obviously) the moment of her first labor pain! Comment here or send to my email: nonnagg51@gmail.com 

So far 22 people have jumped on board! If you care to see their guesses, scroll down…..WAY DOWN! (remember to include: gender, weight, length, date, time-THANKS!)

My friend (we were in 1st grade together, and then college!), Ginny, sent me this list today. You know me-I love to do COUNTDOWNS…so here is my  9 Day Countdown of "5 Bits of Advice":

1. Life isn't fair, but it's still good.

2. When in doubt, just take the next small step.

3. Life is too short - enjoy it.

4. Your job won't take care of you when you are sick. Your friends and family will.

5.Don't buy stuff you don't need. (trust me on this one!!!)
