Pink Piggies

Another Pink Saturday. How does the time fly ? Hee Hee Today I wanted to share some sweet pink images of precious pink piggies and flying piggies! My middle daughter has been talking about buying a pot bellied pig one day and I started thinking about these pink pigs!I pulled these images from the internet. Stop by Beverly's here. She is an absolute wonderful force behind this Pink Saturday success Thank her for putting this together each week. Then stop by to visit LV here. She participates in this weekly post and always has something wonderful to share on her blog. She is one of those quiet, kindhearted souls who draws you in with her flair for pulling each post together with everyday wonders. I truly enjoy knowing her. Here you can find Genie at her blog which is new to me and she was new to Pink Saturday last week. She is posting a lot of great treasures here so please join her soon.
I am heading over to my oldest daughters new house to spend the night so we can rise early and hit the road. Durango is four hours from Pueblo (two less than Denver) and we will stop to say hello to the relatives there. Pray for our safety on the roads and enjoy your weekend, pink piggies and all!

PRAYER UPDATE

I NEED PRAYER FOR NICK. HE IS TERRIBLY ILL. I WILL TRY TO UPDATE LATER. PLEASE PRAY

"do unto others as you would have them do unto you." Luke 6:31

Today as I prepared for work with less than five hours of sleep, I prayed and prayed harder. Nick has been waiting for an entire year to run in the league race today and he is laid up with a terrible case of strep throat. My doc that I work for suggested we take his tonsils soon. He hopes to travel to Phoenix and run in the Nike Invitational again at Thanksgiving time. So we are hopeful my doc has Christmas here so we can get this boy in and have those nasty tonsils removed. Hannah has been, knock on wood, well ,since her tonsils came out in May 2010 .
I am just sad for Nick mainly because he would get his picture on the "Wall of Fame" at school. But he can try to run the race next year. I freak out with high fever because my brother and his wife lost their precious 18 year old daughter in 1996 to a rare form of blood poisoning and it all started with flu like symptoms and a high fever. I try not to live in fear but when it comes to my children, I often lose control of my senses and Nick was in so much pain throughout last night and it scared us. I am grateful to God that we had the necessary insurance to take him to the urgent care for treatment. He now has an anti-biotic but he is still feeling very poorly. His fever is starting to be contained.
I was overwhelmed by the prayers you all prayers for him today. I was getting ready for a horrible day at work and I had to put that post up. I am going to add to it here and want all of you to know how absolutely amazing you are.
I am so overwhelmed at work. When I woke up at three a.m. this morning with my sick child I read the verse I posted here. I went to work and posted it on my phone. But God just keeps letting Satan have his way with my phamily. I feel so awful and I appreciate all of you more than you can ever know.
I was planning to give up the Durango trip but my sweets wants me to go so he will stay here with Nick while Hannah and I go with Noelle and Roger. It will be a sad weekend without the rest of my phamily but my sweets will go look at a house to rent. Please pray that he makes the right decision about moving. I think part of our problem is this house is loaded with mold and it is very unhealthy. The electrical wiring is very unsafe and our landlord is going to lose this property. He will never get what he paid for it and he owns the entire balance because he was given an interest only loan. Nothing works, the roof is in dire need of replacment. The electrical wiring is outdated and somewhat frightening. The wood floors were heavily damaged from the poor insulation and cheap windows when we moved it. They are no better now having been replaced by more cheap windows.
I do not wish to burden you with my blabbering about something I have no control over. I just kep asking for your prayers.
I feel so guilty asking sometime. I see AngelDawn and Colette and many other sweet bloggerettes suffering with cancer and other hardships. But I never stop praying. For Shauna and Ron and Lisa and Heather and all the wonderful people I know here struggled with their own I think, as my late mother use to say, we all have our own cross to bear. Some just have a lighter load than the rest of us. But I will not allow my faith to be shattered.
Just keep praying...

"D" is for "What's For Dinner?"

I love posting through the alphabet!  I have such great fun! Tonight, I am sharing my "D" with you. Dinner. I love to sit down to a nice home cooked meal. That rarely happens around here. By the time the day is done we are dog tired and don't have the energy to create a delicious and delectable meal! But we try to eat healthy. Some time it is not easy.

Pizza sounds like it would not be too healthy. But creating the right toppings you can eat pizza healthy style! Since both of our boys work for a pizza company we have become quite good at mixing and matching combos. Sweets and I love red pepper and mushroom on super thin crust. It is so yummy. Add a salad and dinner is served.

 Steak and lobster is a special occasion dinner. We are also fans of crab legs and have been known to stand over a plate on the counter and dip with butter and lemon and eat massive amounts of these tasty treats!

 Another favorite dinner time treat chile rellenos. We love Mexican food at our house.
How about some dinnertime comfort food? Mac n cheese is a dinnertime favorite. I like to try different recipes and keep improving them.

Breakfast for dinner? Why not! Pancakes and waffles and bacon and eggs. There is a tasty dinner with something for everyone.

Have you had your dinner yet? Hee Hee. I thought this might make you hungry. Please join the Alphabe Thursday fun! Enjoy my images I found on the internet.

LOVE IS...

I am a total sap! I love my sweets. I adore him. I am sad when I am not with him. I love spending time with him! I love this cute pink clock! It keeps us on a timely schedule during the workweek! I should have posted it for Pink Saturday too! Come join the Love is... with Marydon here and Sherry here

A Diamond in the Rough

This sweet little pup belongs to my niece and her phamily in Pueblo. "Diamond" is a sweet pup who is part blue heeler and has a diamond marking in her forehead. She has been part of their phamily for as long as I can remember. Here is a photo of her taken recently:

I hope you will join Angela here and enjoy this fun weekly post that is celebrating one year! Congrats to Angela!

I am suffering terrible vertigo and Phil is back in court. I am not sure he took their advice and took a public defender. It is raining like mad here. Please keep Rebekah and Phil safe in your prayers. Thank you.

WALKING IN THE WAY OF THE LORD

There is nothing like a little stressful situation in your life to make you realize who the boss really is! I wake up in prayer and I fall asleep at night in prayer. But during the day we often get sidetracked with life. Yesterday was no exception. We thought we would be able to move into a beautiful rental home. Then the land lord, a used car sales owner, changed his mind. Have you ever bought a car and when you get down to the details of it all, the fight is on? That is what happened to us. If we had the kind of money he wanted up front we would probably be an heir to Bill Gates! Enough said.

So I claim this verse as my daily reminder "Teach me your way, O Lord; I will walk in your truth." Psalm 86:11

I feel like I need this  because I get caught up with everyone else in what is going on. Today we are going to see a beautiful house we drove and see if the lady will work with us and make a comfortable rental deal. It is three blocks from the fire station off a busy main road. It has a beautiful privacy fence and enough bedrooms for all of us. Pray for us. I hope you will not tire of me asking. I am bold when it comes to God and prayer together. I think it is a winning combination.

I was reading a little daily scripture that I read every single day and have since 1987 and I thought this analogy was terrific to break down God's word. There was a man who shot an arrow on the side of a barn. He walked up to the barn and painted a bulls eye around the arrow. It is so easy to get caught up in this world and trust our own instincts when in reality we know God's are on target.

I will leave you today on Spiritual Sunday with this verse " There is a way that seems right to a man, but in the end is the way of death." Proverbs 14:12

Please stop by and thank Charlotte and Ginger for hosting this soul feeding Sunday fest. Go here to join us. Have a wonderful week.

PINK TREASURES

Welcome to Pink Saturday! I hope you have stopped by Beverly's to thank her for hosting this weekly post. It is so much fun and she works so hard so everyone can enjoy it. I had some new pink treasures to share with you and I am not sure what happened to my photos. My husband locked them into the photo gallery and I can not display them.

So I am sharing an internet image of the breast cancer awareness ribbon today.

 This is a yummy looking treat with zero calories. We can continue to support this cause and help spread awareness of the deadly disease known as breast cancer.

I usually feature a pinkie or two here but because of my chaotic situation here with this news that we suddnely have to move I hope you will understand. Please continue to pray. It is the only answer I find comfort in. Thanks and enjoy the pink sweetness of Pink Saturdays.
