Sunday Dinner, November 11, 2007

First things first, I suppose. Those of you who are especially astute have already noticed the question mark on the chef's serving tray and figured out that I don't know what I'll be doing for my Sunday Dinner this week.

Hubby will be home in the wee hours of the morning after a long tiring trip home from Texas on Am*trak and may or may not want to go out somewhere to eat dinner. I already know my sister Cecil won't be here since she's spending the day with her hubby. That leaves me and Ducky and possibly Sue, and maybe Lamar for dinner. Ducky and I agreed that we'll go out for Sunday Dinner, but where we'll end up will be decided tomorrow after church.

Now, what's on the menu for your Sunday Dinner, or what are your plans? Just spill your guts in the comments, figuratively speaking, of course.Before I get to any more of my ramblings I want to take the time to recognize all the soldiers who have served our country, past and present; men and women; wartime and peacetime. This Veteran's Day I want to thank each soldier and his/her family for their sacrifice to preserve our freedoms.

My Daddy served in WW2 in Hawaii and Okinawa. Several of my uncles and cousins also served in WW2. Two of my brothers in law served as well and two nephews, one in Desert Storm. The Navy, Army and Marines are represented among those soldiers, and I am proud of them and grateful for their service.Sweet MARY@MARY'S WRITING NOOK has blessed me with The Colors of Friendship Award. You can read about it by clicking on the button to the left.

I treasure my blogging friends and appreciate all of them. There are so many differences between us that it's interesting to learn about new things and new places, and yet we all have so many things in common at the same time.

Thank you, Mary. :-)By coincidence, when I arrived at my doctor's office yesterday I ran into Jessica, Jason and Emmy. They vaguely remembered that I had told them I had to go to the doctor, but didn't remember when. They hadn't mentioned to me that Emmy was due for her 6 month shots so it was completely unexpected that we were there at the same time.

By another coincidence, I was escorted to the exam room next door to them and heard poor Emmy when they gave her the shots, bless her heart. She was just beginning to feel a little better and now today she's running a high fever and feeling yucky again.

For those of you who've been lifting Emmy and the rest of us up in prayer, Thank You! And I would appreciate it if you'd keep praying for Emmy. I hope she shakes off this reaction to her shots soon. She's been sick for weeks now and I want my healthy happy baby back!And while you're at it, if you wouldn't mind, lift me up in prayer as well. I'm fighting a sinus infection and I'm not feeling too swooft right now. It's been coming and going all week, but I think this time it's come to stay for a while.

Also, I've had some tests run and have to go back for more next week. I may have some serious health problems but I won't know the results of the tests for a while. You know how it is when you're waiting on test results and a diagnosis. It's not anything like cancer or anything immediately life threatening. As soon as I hear the results I'll let everyone know.

I would appreciate your prayers for me in the meantime, dear friends and family. I know this is a bit vague but I don't want to jump the gun by putting it all out there and then having to retract some or all of it.I've washed, dried, folded, hung and put away 6 loads of laundry today besides cooking a big pot of chili and assorted other housework. The singing/fellowship was great but I'm feeling a bit draggy and just a tad icky due to this sinus infection. I'm going to publish this and study my Sunday School lesson, then try to get to sleep with my stuffed up/runny nose.

Y'all have a blessed Sunday. May God richly bless you, and may you have enough to share.
