My Thoughts on the New Year..



2011 has not been a Good year in my life.

This year as most of you know I lost my Mom, I have one sister struggling with bladder cancer& depression, Another Sister had a mild heart attack and little Jax's had a relapse with his cancer.I've had a friend that I thought was looking out for my best interest even warned me to" be careful" and yet they were the one that betrayed me. Don't know why they felt it necessary and never will!

OK all those Negatives being said for 2011

Let's focus on the Positive.
I spent the last 6 months of my Mother's life by her side day and night. We laughed & We Cried together and those are really some precious memories that I want to hang on too.

The Sister that has the bladder cancer has some testing coming up with a new Dr. and I've met and talked to him within the last couple of weeks and he's giving us some positive feedback .

The Sister that had a heart attack is doing quite well and she seems to be taking better care of herself since then but I will keep checking on her to make sure she does :)

My little friend Jax is one of the sweetest kids you would ever want to meet and I have a Good Feeling that this time God's going to knock this Cancer out of him Once and For All.

As Far as the Friend goes ~ Well I think "Friend Goes" sums it up nicely.
And I so much believe in Karma (You get back from this world What you Put out)

All this being said.

I want to Wish EVERYONE of my Friends a HAPPY and BLESSED New Year.
Let's make 2012 a Good One to Remember


And get that man outta the white house!

Wanna bet?

This is my lottery ticket. LOOK I won $15.00. 

My little Sis won a thousand dollars on this same lottery game scratch off yesterday.  She was so excited that she called me first.

There's a little bit of a funny story that goes along with her lotto win.

She scratched her thousand dollar win in her church parking lot . I'm betting she didn't tell the congregation that she won. :)

This brought back some fond memories of my Mom. She always said it was a SIN to gamble and that we shouldn't do it. But yet when she and I went out and I bought lottery scratch offs, she would be scratching MINE off going down the road and would say "If I win something big we will split it" I would always be wishing that she would scratch off something BIG on just one just so I could hear the excitement in her voice . She never did hit a big lottery win, but in typing this post I just realized although I didn't hit the big one here, I did in my heart because it brought back some precious memories of my Mom that put a :) on my face.

I really miss her!

In life I've learned it's always a gamble! It just depends on how much you are willing to risk.

Update~Here's a Copy of her ticket

She will be taking me out to dinner. 

Someone is enjoying his presents.

                                                                  I'm hoping everyone had a nice Christmas

My Son (Travis) is enjoying his first archery set.

Yes it did leave a blister cause he didn't wear his glove that came with the set.

I tried to tell him. 

I got a new toy too..It does require batteries

Yep its a new scanner~What else could it have been?

Jax's Update~Needing more Prayers for today

Received this email from my friend this morning.
"Need everyone praying for jax.  His platelet count has dropped from 144 on Friday to 36 today.    This could be due to the chemo.  Getting platelets now.  Bone marrow at 1pm.  Please pray that he is still in remission.  Love  Renee"

Jax is at the Duke Hospital for the next couple of Days for testing to see if he's healthy enough for a bone marrow transplant.

This picture was taken yesterday.12-20-2011

Christmas NEWS.....

  There will be no Nativity Scene in Washington this year! The Supreme Court has ruled that there cannot be a Nativity Scene in the United States' Capitol this Christmas season. This isn't for any religious reason. They simply have not been able to find Three Wise Men in the Nation's Capitol. A search for a Virgin continues. There was no problem, however, finding enough asses to fill the stable.

Heard it from a friend Who....
