Tuesday Treasures!

Today has been full of treasures!

The first of which was my morning cup of coffee.

My son and his wife gifted us with a French press, a milk frother AND a jar of coffee beans roasted by my son! Coffee is to him as wine is to others. He is a connoisseur of coffee and has been known to fly across the country for the day just to roam around and visit local roaster shops.

This was my first cup! Delicious......and I loved the frothed milk!

I woke Louis Dean up at 6:30 so he could get to his 7:45 doctor appointment for his check up.

He goes every 6 months. He came back with a good report - so far. I always feel better after the blood work reports come in. When he got home I made him a cup of the French press coffee and he REALLY loved it! I may have to make him a cup every morning.

Since it was a cold chilly day - this last day of December - we enjoyed our coffee in the den by the fire. Then Louis Dean went back to bed and fell sound asleep for several hours!

Since I'm going to be laid up for awhile, I wanted to get my nails done this afternoon.

Guess who wanted to go with me??

His feet are so ticklish!

No more pictures!!!

Louis Dean is a real treasure and so much fun.

The lady said, "I'll do your eyebrows," and she cleaned him up nicely!!

This will be a regular thing now!

We hit up a couple of thrift stores since this is Tuesday and we get 30% off as seniors!

The toaster oven, toaster and large crock pot all go to the ranch.

The wastebasket is for Louis Dean and he chose the pink Santa! He was only $0.75!

The book is his, too, can you imagine??

I wonder if he has any idea what it's about??

I could NOT resist 5 bunches of faux sunflowers for $0.75 each!

Now for my other treasures!

A robe from Victoria's Secret!

One pocket needed to be mended and it was as good as new!

This will be perfect for the hospital.

The instructions say to arrive in comfortable clothing and when I found this soft dress I decided to get it! I'll wear a long white sweater with it and that will be perfect for checking into the hospital and coming home.

I love this white top and it will look great with skinny jeans.

I bought the cami under this and it's one of those strong ones that smooths one's bulges....

A brand new Chico red shirt!

I'll pair this with black leggings.....

I love nearly everything by Chico's!

A cool spring top to wear in just a few more weeks!

And finally - a comfy gown!

I'm washing it all and will be packing my bag!

This was the first time I've done Tuesday Treasures in months!

Now for my last treasure of the day......

Last weekend Louis Dean's granddaughter, Chandy, and her husband were in Dallas to celebrate their anniversary. They arrived on Thursday night and were staying with their best friends and had planned to come over to our house on Saturday and have a chili supper with us. (I still had chili in the freezer!) Alas, she sent me a text early Saturday morning to let us know she had just got back from the ER. Chris had rushed her to the hospital Friday night when she started hemorrhaging. She is still in the first trimester of a high risk pregnancy. The baby's heartbeat is still strong but she has a subchorionic hemorrhage so the doctor put her on bed rest. We told her to stay where she was and rest and just get home safely. They live in Big Spring. So they did and when she went to her doctor on Monday, he admitted her to the hospital in Odessa.

And that's where she is tonight.

We are hoping she won't have to stay there long.

Her last pregnancy with Bella, who is two years old now, was extremely high risk and she was in the hospital several times.

The fetal specialist will be in to see her in the morning and do another sonogram.

Then Thursday, the diabetic dietitian will be in to see her.

That's what happened when she was pregnant with Bella, she developed gestational diabetes.

Chandy has been cheering herself up looking at all the photos on her laptop.

She's been texting updates for me to read to her Granddad to keep him from worrying.

Chandy has the best attitude during all this.

We weren't in her life when she was ill and pregnant with Bella but we are now and we are praying hard. Chandy has been through a lot and she has done the work to get her life where it should be. She and Chris are both Christ followers and really great parents to the 'yours, nine and ours' children they have between them.

But this is a tough time for her and her family and Odessa is a good ways from Big Spring.

We are so proud of Chandy and will be praying for her, the baby she's carrying, Chris and the children......
