Latest Update On Me

Hi everyone! Just thought I would give you an update on what has been happening around here. This is the way it looked as we drove through the mountains for my second eye surgery. Both surgeries went well, but my eyes are still blurry and the surgeon will likely do another surgery on each one... in his office this time and very short. I think it must be laser. So that will happen Monday after next. Of course I am unable to wear my glasses because now after the surgery they will not work anymore, I will likely still need glasses with a very mild prescription in the lenses. I want to thank you all so much for your concern, your e-mails, and prayers, they really mean so much to me! I am able to do some e-mail but after too much computer, my eyes sting and water, but not for much longer! I can't wait to start visiting you all again! Oh, and by the way...Sunny has something to tell you...

Hi everyone, Sunny here! Why am I in a wheelchair? Well, I am fine, but mommy got hurt in a freak accident at the eye doctor's office. And for once it wasn't her fault. Her foot is broken. So I have been keeping the wheelchair warm for her when she is on the couch. If only humans were as agile as us cats, MEOW!

Update On ME

Shortly before my eye surgery, Anne and I made these reindeer. Aren't they cute? They consist of mini donuts, broken mini pretzels, and peanut M&M's. So easy to make! And she loved them, plus she only ate ONE! Just be sure and remember to put the M facing down! I had my eye surgery and it went well... but since I cannot wear my glasses and there is still swelling, It is very hard to see and things are blurry. I am also off balance and Phil has to lead me around at times. All to be expected. It will be better after the surgery on the other eye on the 16th. I am currently using NINE eye drops a day and will be until way into February. So I am hoping to resume posting at the end of this month! And I can't WAIT!! I am wondering what you have all been up to!! SEE you better than ever later in the month!!

Eye'll Be Seeing You

“An eye can make the heart dance for joy.... One of the most wonderful things in nature is a glance of the eye; it transcends speech; it is the bodily symbol of identity.”  ~Ralph Waldo Emerson

Beside ticking down the New Year, this eye clock is here to tell you something else. Starting Monday, I will be gone again for awhile. I am having eye surgery. Then two weeks later, I will have surgery on my other eye. I have been looking forward to it so much that I have been counting the minutes, just like this eye clock. I will finally be able to see without looking though a fog! Hopefully I won't be gone more than a week or so, but I may have to wear a patch on one eye till I have had surgery on both. I will miss you, but I will see you much more clearly when I come back! I wish for you and your families the best New Year ever!

"If I keep my eyes on God, I won’t trip over my own feet."

Psalm 25

Youth is when you're allowed to stay up late on New Year's Eve.  Middle age is when you're forced to.  ~Bill Vaughn

Joy To The World!

 “The angel said, “Don’t be afraid. I’m here to announce a great and wonderful event that is meant for everybody, worldwide: A Savior has just been born in David’s town, a Savior who is Messiah and Master. This is what you’re to look for: a baby wrapped in a blanket and lying in a manger.”

Luke 2

 “I will sing for joy in God, explode in praise from deep in my soul! He dressed me up in a suit of salvation; he outfitted me in a robe of righteousness…”

Isaiah 61

“But now, by giving himself completely at the Cross, actually dying for you, Christ brought you over to God’s side and put your lives together, whole and holy in his presence. You don’t walk away from a gift like that!”

Colossians 1

The birth of Jesus is the sunrise in the Bible. — Henry van Dyke
