God didn't give me feathers!

It's been almost a month since I've blogged but I had forgotten my password and also my laptop has been super slow lately so I just haven't bothered to try because it would have taken too long. Since my last blog posting my husband and I celebrated our 33rd wedding anniversary and we celebrated by flying out to see our daughter and her husband in Abilene TX. I'd flown a few times before but only in small planes but David had never flown and he was excited about it. But...our plans didn't quite go smoothly. The day we were scheduled to leave we arrived at LR an hour ahead of time, went through security (not very helpful to newbies I might add) and then we're informed that DFW has been closed because of thunderstorms. We sat at LR for 4 hours before were were able to get a flight out. We finally got to DFW and there were people spread out everywhere, some who had been waiting all day for a flight (it was almost 2pm by this time) We finally left there at 7:30pm! It had taken us 12 hours to get out toAbilene, which was longer than if we had driven it! But, once we got there we enjoyed ourselves and the flight back was much smoother...well at least as far as time goes, the flight from DFW to LR was quite bumpy and I was thanking God for Dramamine by the time we got back to LR. Whew, was I ever glad to get home. God didn't give me feathers so i wasn't meant to fly! David loved it though.

Roses

Our kids gave me a climbing rose bush for Mother's Day several years ago and when our daughter moved to Germany I would always send her a picture of the first bloom of the season. I sent her one this year (she's in Abilene TX now)and I liked the picture so much I thought I might share it with y'all.

Purty ain't it?!! :))

STABLE

What comes to mind when you see or hear the word 'stable'? My first thought was a place you keep livestock, much like the place our Lord and Savior Jesus was born into. Secondly, I was reminded of something or someone you can depend on, reliable, or never-changing.
I went with my husband to see his oncologist last week and the doctor said "stable disease". No, he did not say it had shrunken anymore nor did he say it was gone. Stable. Folks, that was music to our ears. His cancer has been stable now for six months! In the world of cancer, that's a long time, let me tell you! He is still working fulltime and, but for a few chemo side effects, he is doing amazingly well...and with or without cancer, my husband is one of the most reliable, dependable guys you would ever want to know. I love him. he is an inspiration to me.
A few months ago I didn't think he would still be with me...but thankfully...he is.
Remember that baby in the stable? It's all because of him. :))
