The Phipps Arboretum in Pittsburgh is an amazing place. We visited there with Jodie this morning. I took all kinds of pictures so I could share the experience with you. I hope you enjoy these amazing plants, decorated trees, and flowers.
Thanks for touring with us.
I hope you enjoyed the flowers as much as we did!
See ya later…
I’m headed to the Masonic Home to play with Liam.
Up over Big Sky
Here we come, Pennsylvania!
I get to see Sis!
I pray that you have a good day, too.
See ya later!
Visible Beauty
My friend, Gloria, and her husband Bob Wilson, are in Hawaii right now. I may not have had a beautiful sunset last night here in gray, cold Montana, nor a gorgeous sunrise this morning, but the Wilsons did. Thanks to the internet, their generosity, answered prayer, and miraculous cancer treatments, I could enjoy these scenes with them.
The Physical Beauty of Health
So, as I thank God for another visually beautiful day, I also Thank the Lord for the beauty of health. Gloria is experiencing miraculous cancer treatments (it was in her lungs and brain and lymph system). The amazing treatments have given back her life and her ability to travel and enjoy such beautiful scenes as these.
Praying for Others’ Beautiful Day
Do you have friends/family who have “Beat the Big C” or are in the process now of treatments? My cousin, Cliff, has scheduled surgery for esophageal cancer this week… and Bob’s sister, Bonnie, is seeing the doctor today about continued radiation and chemo related to breast cancer.
Thanks to our many medical advances, the “Big C” does not have to mean a death sentence these days. My husband, Bob, is an 12 year survivor of prostate cancer. He had it frozen. There are so many options for people who are diagnosed with the disease these days. We can pray and ask God for His mercy and healing, but God also expects us to do our part by becoming educated.
Educating Ourselves
After Bob’s diagnosis, we called another cousin of mine who is the “Prostate Cancer Survivor Poster Child” and we asked for his advice. He sent us to YANA.org (at that time it was a website called “You Are Not Alone” where men who have been diagnosed with prostate cancer could go to learn about other men’s journey toward wellness). Now, trying to Google it, I discovered lots of YANA sites… but not the one Bob spent days where he read histories of others and learned about their treatment options, choices, and successes. There are so many places to go to get ideas. You don’t have to take the first idea the oncologist throws out at you! Be your own best advocate!
See ya later.
Some need to search for
Halloween costumes to wear
Some are born with them
My pup is ready
For the spooks and the goblins
What are you wearing?
In his post, “The Day of the Dead,” Toro Bravo showed us what an amazing job one can do with paint on a willing face. Check him and his wife out at:
See ya after church.
God bless you!
Clouds cover Big Sky
Struggling grass survives
Gray Montana Day
Cattle graze in the fields
The sun struggles to peek through
There’s blue sky ahead
Approaching our home
The blue sky tries to shine through
And sun emerges
Gray Montana Days
Are sure to change in due time
Just wait five minutes!
See ya tomorrow
Shetland found the grass
Beneath gorgeous autumn tree
Tastier than most
