Hello Friends

I really didn't know just how much I'd grown attached and love you all so much until not being able to communicate with you each day! I can't begin to tell you how very much your friendship means to me.
  Thank you so much for your kind words and sentiments during this hour of need. Your prayers have helped us immensely.
  I will need a bit of physical therapy from the hard fall to get the kinks out, and it will take a bit of time to get sturdy on my feet because of the extreme shock to my system, but I'm not letting it get me down...One day at a time is my constant prayer...I'm so thankful/blessed that I rely on the Lord and He gives me the strength needed to get through this!
  I'm not one to give up easily, and I'm listening to my doctor. Extremely high blood pressure and blood sugar islife threatening, 
believe me!  
 My girls are on their way home...having them here will help me much. I am so thankful for my pets, especially Ashley...he knew I needed help and got James inside to help me by ringing the bell on the doorknob and barking in a way that alarmed him. He has always taken good care of me. Our bond is special and strong!

  I just wanted to say hello and to feel connected to all of you, but as I said I'm still not up to par...I tire easily. I went back to see my doctor yesterday and I'm still having high numbers for both aliments and he thinks I'm stressed, so I don't want to overdo.
  I have someone here helping me today and she will post again for me tomorrow. Again, thank you all so much for caring and may God's Rich Blessings be with you all!

Warmest Regards,
Loretta

Good Evening Ladies

  I have to say you have been so kind with your comments and I want to thank you. I see why Loretta love this blog so much. Thank ya'll again for caring so much!
  I just want to tell ya'll my gal is doing okay. She had a bad scare with a allergic reaction to cold medicine. It shot her blood sugar through the roof, and she was out like a light. Pretty scary stuff, never seen the likes of it! 
  She's home now, still not the best, but I want you to know I'm taking good care of her. Can't stand seeing her sick like this and the pets won't leave her. They know she's sick. She says hello to ya'll.
Well that's about all, thank you again and ya'll have a good night.

The Hubster,
James

Good Morning Everybody Out There

Hope all of you are okay today. This is the hubster, don't worry I'm not going to get that old gal's dander up, she asked me to put this up on the blog.
  My gal is sick, had a hard time last night so we went to the ER. She wanted me to tell you she's postponing that giveaway she put up until she's better, because she's not letting me muck it up (that's my gal!) 
  She said she'll add the other stuff and start over, so ya'll stay tune, ok!
I'm tempted to act up, but I'll be good cause Loretta loves this here blog thing! Maybe when she ain't sick, I'll come on back and steal some time, heh? Don't tell her I said this! Heeheeee!

Ya'll take care and love your pets cause Loretta show love her's, too much! Bye now

The Hubster,
James

Baked From My Kitchen

Good Wednesday to you all!

  Yeah, I've been in the kitchen experimenting with baked goods. My sisters did a conference call trying to find out if we were going to do something different this year, because of the children's input. 
  It was the same day that I was in the kitchen trying out recipes. I only baked two. I think I am going to do the fruitcake cookies and these below... they are a drop cookie...cranberry and walnut.

I only made a batch...Hubster, my Mom and Daun, my oldest daughter, where here when they came out of the oven...they didn't stay very long, especially when the coffee was done! LOL.

Hubster was at home four days last week and he asked for some homemade bread. If you're looking at the pics, notice how the top of the loaf is brown. Well, he like it this way...with a crust. Just before I removed it from the oven, I rubbed butter on top, then allowed it to brown crisp. Needless to say, it filled the house with that homey aroma that you get only from freshly baked bread!

I love baking bread and all the other yummy desserts that my family enjoy. Hope you have a Happy Wednesday and the entire week!

Best and Warmest Wishes,

Loretta
