Your sweet mother is just beautiful and you are so very blessed. It looks like such a fine time. Thank you so much for sharing. Have a lovely week.
Oh, Sue! You have a precious family. They look like a representation of Americana, solid, kind, caring, and loving. And what great photos you got of what must have been a fun and memorable time together.

And please tell your Mom your blogging friends think she is so pretty and elegant! (And I love her scarf!)

What a blessing and what a treasure...that is what comes out of you when you write because you have such a wealth of inheritance.

HI SUE,

Sue,
I am so happy you stopped by today.
Your Mother is beautiful (as you are also) and I love seeing your family enjoying each other. That pic of grandson looking at grandmother is adorable!

Sue, just read your most recent post and wanted to stop by and say that I am praying for you...that you will feel better soon, that you will make good use of this down time, that you will feel our Lord's presence as you recover...
I also read the farewell post on your other blog. I don't know how you've kept up with two blogs as long as you have! I applaud your decision to simplify. Actually, it will simplify your readers' lives too, as they won't have to hop back and forth for fear that they've missed something. :-)
Take care...take it slow...take your time recovering. We'll be here when you get back!
{{{hugs}}}

Loved seeing your celebration, Sue.
I just read about the other blog, so I will follow this one instead.
I'm so sorry you're sick. That respiratory thing kept me down for the month of Decemeber. So I feel for you and will pray you are up and better soon from that and the vertigo.
I pray you have a special touch from the Lord, Sue.
XOXOXOX,
Sheila :-)
Sue, I am so very sorry to hear you have the flu. I sincerely hope you will feel better each day, so you can enjoy life with your beautiful family on your beloved Pear Tree Farm. Spring will be here soon!
Take care of yourself ... I'll remember you in my prayers.
praying for you, and loving you.
hope you feel better soon..my prayers are with you Sue..
Hi My Friend,
I am so sorry to hear that the flu bug has bitten you! You know I will pray! May God touch you with His healing hands, and jump start your new year with good health!
Sure do love ya gal! I am going to make a concerted effort to get back to my bloggy buddies, so I'll be visiting more! Woohoo!
Big hugs and prayers,
Becky
Oh Sue... I love love love that picture (header) on your new blog.. oh it makes me want to grab a glass of sweet tea and just join you on that swing..
Hope you are feeling better,, and cant wait to enjoy this new blog of yours..I miss ya...
First of all, I'm so sorry you are so very sick. I hope and pray you are feeling better soon.
It looks like you and your family had a wonderful celebration!
Hugs from Heidi
Sue, I am so sorry you're sick! I just read the other post, and the comments were disabled, so I am back here writing.
I had this stuff back in December, and it took me a full month to feel better. I had pushed myself to the limit with things, and then I pushed beyond. I got it from someone to whom I delivered a Christmas present. My resistance was just so low. I am finally feeling better, but it took a solid month. I'm still weak, and do you know, reading this, I'm thinking I might have to postpone something I'm doing. Thanks for sharing.
I don't understand why people go out sick, either. I didn't. Not until I was over it. And then I only went out when absolutely necessary. You take good care and get to feeling better.
XO,
Sheila :-)
So sorry you have to deal with so much pain and discomfort!
You've been on my prayer list and I wanted to e-mail you and tell you I hope you feel better soon. (I misplaced your e-mail)
Take good care of yourself and I wish you a speedy recovery than you expect.
Germs can spread so easily and people do need to be more careful!
Will look forward to when you can post again!
Much Love!
