Congratulations Miss Casey!
3 years, and counting!!!
Good Morning All;
I have a feeling that this Christmas is going to be a very different one for us all. (Although I have no idea where that thought comes from).
Feeling very Grinch-like, I have already canceled Christmas in Flintville- (OK everyone, only at my house). hehehe
My cousin, Joannie, called last week to offer me a tree! They grow their own, but sadly, I had to decline. We will celebrate when Casey is feeling better- and after she heals from her surgery/ies.
I offered to celebrate her birthday and her Christmas together, and received an emphatic "NO" hehehe
So funny!
Perhaps we shall have Christmas in July then!
For now it is "off to Minnesota, and for her to find out (I hope) where she is losing her blood, and how.
Hard to believe that yesterday we celebrated her 3rd year since her TP/AIT. We would not have had her to love had she not had that surgery. In fact, at the rate her organs were failing, she would not have been able to sustain herself past October of 2010 (and that was actually a very optimistic guess on Dr. S.'s part).
I have wash in- and dishes to do yet.
Punk has been 'off her feed' as they say- But not sick-sick. I think she is a bit sad, though I don't know why that is either. And yes, the 'off her feed' bit is only an expression- She will eat, sick or not. (Kinda like me that way). hehehe
After seeing the news this morning, I am reminded of the year that Casey marched in the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade. As Captain of the Color Guard, she had a 'wunnaful' time. (Yes, she was already quite sick at that time, though we didn't realize it... yet).
* Mark your calendars!!!
This year, Pulaski Red Raider Marching Band will be marching in the Rose Bowl Parade, again, this year!!!
(Casey was even Captain of the Color Guard for a few years)!
WOOT! WOOT!
And how cool is it that Wisconsin will be playing?!
An exciting time for all, but the young lady I know that is loving every minute of it is Miss Ashley!
Here she is, a few years ago (when I still had my Chrtistmas Brunch).
Miss Brandy, Myself, Casey, and Miss Ashley too.
My very best to all of the band! They will do perfectly!
Soooo make plans to be watching The Rose Bowl Parade this year!
And of course to be watching the game too
January 2, 2012.
5 Reasons the Wisconsin Badgers Will Beat the Oregon Ducks
* Sorry, Will. hehehe
Speaking of games- (and in reply to Slurkie's question in my guestbook)...
I didn't do anything different...
Well maybe if I would have had my best packers shirt on, as I had for the past 13 games)... Grrr...
Or, maybe I shouldn't have watched...
We took our 1st loss in 364 days yesterday. (Repeat Grrrr). But there are still ways to obtain that home field advantage, and that is important; although the sports bars all do well, regardless if it is at Lambeau Field, or not.
As do we, as fans. I am quite sure which 'side' I am on- There are people upset about the loss- (boo-hoo), and there are those that say it is best to get the stress of continuing the "W's" out of the way before the playoffs. No-Brainer, kids.
But I am wondering what the heck Thers did different to obtain Indianapolis' lone "W" for the year? hehehe
I'd best close for now...
I hope everyone is having a "wunnaful" week!
Hope too, that everyone in the path of the blizzard has full cupboards and furnaces.
- And please, to keep Casey in your good warm thoughts too?
XOXO

Casey- My Elf- 2004
Casey is always in my prayers. Christmas in July is a nice change. :)

I guess I'll just have to watch the parade then and look for them!
ReplyDeleteThere hasn't been much of a Christmas for me in several years. I guess I'm getting use to it. My daughter and her family are driving to North Alabama to visit with her hubby's family and all the friends she knew up that way. If I went, it would mean having to take both vehicles and the dog. Plus, where would me and the dog stay? My sisters house is tiny. They don't even have a couch in their living room or I would sleep there. So, I will stay behind and will be having a nice quiet, peaceful few days here for Christmas. Just me and the dog.
ReplyDeleteChristmas can be celebrated anytime you wish to really. December 25 was only a randomly chosen day picked out to celebrate Jesus' birth. But....I have read he was actually born in April! Oh well. It doesn't matter what the actual date is. I wasn't there to confirm who is right and who is wrong, but I will acknowledge his birth and I am grateful he even existed.
Now....I have missed this about Casey's newest health issue. I'm sure its all connected to her previous health scares, so I do send my Prayers for those doctors to find the cause and fix it.
Anne, I don't think you knew my online friends Jack and Lynne Ferguson, but Lynne was handicapped and Jack developed cancer some time back. He got treatments and has been doing better but has been left too weak to care for his wife on a constant need basis. She was removed from their home and placed into a Nursing Home facility.(And she was not happy about the whole situation either) I came online today to some sad news that she had passed away this morning. Lynne, as I said, needed constant care. She was on a machine that kept her supplied with oxygen. It is only my opinion for now, but I strongly suspect that this nursing home neglected her needs. Jack could have continued her care at home had he had some sort of assistance there to allow him more rest. If you know who I am referring to, please drop by his page and send him some encouraging words.
It was totally YOU not wearing your shirt that made the Packers lose.
ReplyDeletehehehe.
My Bengals won yesterday though. So there's that.
CaseyFace is in my thoughts and prayers.
It doesn't have to be December for you to celebrate Christmas.
I don't know if I missed it somewhere. . . But when do you leave for MN?
Be safe in your travels.
Love to you & Casey!
Slurkie
Anna I am so, so sorry or maybe it's called upset to hear of Casey's condition at the moment I had to go and read all about Captain of the Color Guard ect http://thecolorguardsite.tripod.com/
ReplyDeleteI hope everything brightens up for you, Casey and your family Anna my friend.
Keep safe, warm and well Anna.
Thinking of you there in WI
PS It's great that Wi is in the Rose Bowl again but I don't know I think I'll put my money on TCU this year
( Giggles )
Hi Anne....I'm sorry to read about Casey. I sincerely hope that they can find what is going on and
ReplyDeletemake her well asap!! Please give her my love and I wish you both a Merry Christmas and a happy
and healthy New Year. I will keep coming by to see how she is doing. Love u both very much.
My hubby is not well, the doctors said his brain tumor has gotten a bit bigger and could be causing him to fall down or it could be the meds. Now they want to check him for Alzheimers...I made like
I was totally surprised they would do that, but really I'm not surprised at all. I've been thinking it was the brain tumor, but everyday things point to Alzheimers. It breaks my heart to hear him say that he can't remember how to cook something, when he was the best chef ever! I am staying positive and will enjoy this Christmas with him and the rest of the family.
God bless us all, as we celebrate the birth of Jesus. May we feel at peace and enjoy our family and
friends and pray that we will all be together again next year......in good health.
Love, hugs and a Merry Christmas,
Bev xo
*hugs*
ReplyDeleteHope things are going smoothly...when are they planning on doing surgery on Casey?
ReplyDeleteI'm not sure if you saw what all has gone on around here...but Bruce was on the verge of a heart
attack..and he got 2 stents...and is doing well. Our 34 yr old son..had a massive heart attack the same evening we got his Dad out of the hospital. He recieved a stent and is lucky his room mate came home when he did...as his blockage was almost 100%. Scott is also doing much better.
Prayers for all of you..hope your Christmas was good(yes..I know you cancelled it..lol) and that ya'll have a Happy New Year!! 2012 has to be better than the past year.
Hugs!!
