Friday Photos...

I don't have too much to share this Friday since I have been spending most of my time in the hospital with Joe.  I did steal a couple of photos from Facebook though that I am so happy to have!!

I often mention my BFF, Elaine.  We have been friends since we were 10/11 or so.

This is her hubby, Jim, her mom (and my 2nd mom), Jerri, and Elaine.

And this is my dear sister-in-law, Jo Anne, on the right, my beautiful niece, Sara,

in the middle, and her hubby, Matthew, on the left.  Great picture!!

Jo Anne just retired from teaching and is enjoying some free time, I think!

I did take this picture last week when we went to Mazzaro's Italian Market

with our neighbors.  This big brown cylinder is a 1,000-pound provolone cheese,

 imported from Italy, that has aged for 2 years.  They call it the Christmas Cheese and will cut it

sometime in mid-December.  We have purchased some in years past and

it is VERY sharp provolone.  Joe loves it.

This is the only photo I took of Joe while he was in the hospital.

This is the Surgical Intensive Care Unit (SICU) where he spent the day

of his surgery and that night.  I took this picture more for the warming

blanket they were using on him.  The big hose fills a blanket with

warm air and keeps the patients warm, rather than continuing to add

warmed blankets on top.  When we first arrived there he had FIVE

blankets on and around him because he was so cold. When we went back

later in the evening, this is what we saw.  He was finally warm.

I am thrilled and delighted to have my sweetheart at home.  He still has healing to do and needs to purge his body of all the nasty dyes and chemicals.  He is bloated and not feeling great just yet but his heart is working so much better, praise God!!

Thanks for your visit!  Peace & hugs!!  God bless!!
