Pink Saturday

Hello and welcome to my blog! It's another Pink Saturday
and participants from all over the world are gathering at Beverly's for this fun event. We love the colour pink, and would love it if you would visit Beverly at 'How Sweet the Sound' and join in the fun! She will make you feel most welcome.

Before I get to my pinks today, I have AN UPDATE ON MY MOTHER:

She is out of ICU and is now in a private room. She is still very uncomfortable from the sugery but has begun the healing process. Thank you so very much for your prayers everyone. God bless you!

My pinks today include a Giveaway I won a few weeks ago and a few other things.

So, here we go.......

I received this little box in the mail yesterday. I opened it up and found another little box inside! Don't you just love surprises?

And inside that little box was a darling little bird's nest and a scripture book mark.As you can see, the book mark has some pink on it with a pink ribbon. It reads, "Oh, give thanks to the Lord, for he is so good! For his lovingkindness is forever." Psalm 118:29 TLBThe nest itself was hand made by Barb of Treasures From the Heart http://treasuresfromtheheartgifts.blogspot.com/ and is adorned with three little eggs, a paper flower made of vintage sheet music, and a doilie. A tiny banner which reads 'Blessings' is also propped up in the nest. Isn't it delightful? Thank you Barb! Why not drop by and pay Barb a visit; she would love it if you did!

Next is a favourite pink mug.

I am going to have a cup of tea; or rather a mug of tea!
Would you care for some? I only have two of these mugs left; unfortunately the other two got broken. I also have these mugs. These were a set of four that a good friend of mine saw one day and said to himself, "Those look like Sandi. I think I'll get them for her birthday." And he did! I have had them since the mid-eighties!

Thanks for dropping by today. Please pop over to Beverly's and visit the other pinkies out in blogland. Just click on this link http://howsweetthesound.typepad.com/my_weblog/ or the Pink Saturday button on my sidebar. Have a pinkalicious day everyone!

Update on My Mother

'Morning everyone~ It's a beautiful day here on the Island and we're going to enjoy it!

I thought I would update you all on my mother's condition.

She had major surgery again yesterday and is now in ICU. She looked very frail, hooked up to all those tubes, when I last saw her. I think she has a long road of recovery ahead of her; but with prayer and good nursing care, she will come through it just fine.

My son Jordan is on his way back to Canada from Portugal. He is about mid-way across the Atlantic Ocean as I write this. He really enjoyed visiting Portugal while attending the Math conference. He did however come down with a cold while over there which dampened his trip a bit. But over all, he enjoyed it because he wished he could have stayed till the end of the week!

I probably will not be posting anything again until the end of the week because I am on the go so much. Please keep my mother in your prayers and thank you from the bottom of my heart for doing that! God bless you.

Hugs,

Sandi
