Random Five For Friday....




Whoohoooo!!  Made it through another week!

  • I spoke with my sister last night, and I am happy that she sounds rested and is pleased with the progress Bruce is making!  He can read and responds to written words. He was having trouble saying "right" in response to which way to turn, when Tammy had him out for a ride/walk outside yesterday.  She kept making right turns and asked him each time which way they were going.  He could say "left" just fine, but had trouble with "right".  She kept going right and kept asking him to say it, when he calmly said "anyway, go anyway you want"!!  She laughed and said "okay, this game is over"!!  He also stuck his tongue out at the doctor one day this week!  When a visitor said he was praying for Bruce and felt that God was working a miracle - Bruce responded "Amen"!!  The doctor told Tammy that he is much farther along than would be expected.  Praise God, and please keep praying!
  • I also spoke with my BFF, Elaine, last night (hi Elaine!)!!  We got some things figured out about where we can go when they are here.  So looking forward to their visit!
  • The Orlando Gift Market is this weekend, at the Convention Center.  Our name badges came a few weeks ago, and we talked about going, since we missed the one in August.  I keep my business license, for my craft & jewelry business, so we can buy wholesale.  The gift markets are fun to go to, but we decided last night that we're going to skip it again. We don't mind going to Tampa at all, but the thought of driving over to Orlando just seems like drudgery unless there is something really great going on.  The Disney traffic is a killer, especially on weekends.  AND...the convention center is huge, and parking seems like it is miles away from an entrance, and once inside, there are still 'miles' to walk, to get the the market.  Not fun with my knees.  There is nothing I really need.  The next one is in August.
  • I volunteered to help pass out prayer cards, after Mass on Saturday.  My women's group is doing it.  I didn't go to the last meeting, so I'm not sure what it is about, but they needed help at the Saturday Vigil, so I said I could help.
  • We did grocery shopping last night, so don't have to do that this weekend!  I had prescriptions ready, so we grabbed the grocery list and went to Publix when I got home....oh, we went to Rib Crib for some BBQ before we went shopping. It was really good, and I brought home enough for my lunch today!
I think that's five things, so I'll stop!!  Thanks for peeking in today!  Wishing you a good Friday and weekend!  Peace & blessings!

  1. So happy to hear about Bruce and thankful that Tammy is getting some much needed rest. I dont blame you for not going to Tampa...walking miles would definitely make your knees worse. You are so wise in your grocery and prescription shopping, so that your weekend will have more rest time. I do know you will enjoy your BFF and have lots of fun and much to talk about. Happy Friday my Friend.

  2. I could just imagine Bruce getting frustrated with trying to say 'right.' Good thing Tammy realizes when it's time for the 'game' to be over. :-) Sounds like great progress. I know you'll have a great time when Elaine comes to visit. Hope you have a great weekend, Terri.

  8. Wow! Bruce is really getting on well quickly. I know what a relief that is for everyone. You're wise to pass up the Gift Market. Sounds like it's too big for me, and besides I have to pay for a new washing machine and would probably be tempted to buy too much.

  11. I'm really glad to read this report on your brother-in-law. The Lord is blessing and I will continue to pray for him and your sister.

    I'm not blogging these days. We are on "baby watch" for my daughter's baby even as I type, and have another grand baby due in May. Lots of sewing needs to be done and it was too hard to be focused on too much at once. But I will continue to read and comment on your blog. Have a good weekend!
