I hope everyone is on the mend and that all gets right with things in your house too! So great to have your helpful Dad around!<br />I'll say a prayer that things straighten out for you and yours.<br /><br />I love hearing about all your plans, I think it's great about the volunteer work, and I think it's especially wonderful to do it in a nursing home, I know those dear ones get mighty lonely sometimes. It was very sad when my parents were in nursing homes to see that so many patients had no visitors at all. You and Sam are doing a wonderful thing, you are going to enrich their lives so much! And such a great character-builder for Sam too. Beautiful, Jerelene!<br />They are making it very hard to volunteer here near where I live, you have to be a 'certified' volunteer now! Even at Jayden's school! I can understand that they want to keep patients and school children safe but I think it's ridiculous that you can't be a parent volunteer or even go on a class trip as a chaperon unless you have gone to classes and gotten your certification!<br /><br />Great news about the crocheting too! I hope all your plans work out! But you will be very busy when they do! Good for you!<br /><br />Feel better!<br />Love to you,<br />Eileen<br />PS ~ Your beautiful card was waiting for me when I got home! Thank you! I just had Ellie mail out another one to you this morning on her way to work, I hope you get it before Halloween!Eileenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13679894230965874631noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4031407242670598484.post-74660841297913923792009-10-24T18:52:28.695-07:002009-10-24T18:52:28.695-07:00Hi Jerelene,

I will try soon.<br /> Love DiDianahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11429812875586479256noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4031407242670598484.post-1854088794648243582009-10-24T11:35:26.187-07:002009-10-24T11:35:26.187-07:00Jerelene,

I'll be praying for a continuing,speedy recovery for you all!!! Wow! You are amazingly talented!!! I think crocheting is very difficult, but oh, the beautiful product that results!!!! My grandmother crocheted, and I always admired her beautiful work!!! Hope you have a wonderful weekend!!!

It's hard when the whole family is down like that. I am so excited to hear more about your's and Sam's experience with your "adopt a grandparent". What an awesome experience for all and you're right; "Oh the stories you could hear". I'm a little jealous. My parents (particularly my dad) rarely talked about their childhood.<br /><br />I have a question for you. I crochet but I don't knit. As you know, I have an online store where I sell my doll clothes and would love to be able to offer some knitted sweaters for these dolls. Would you be interested? We could post your items on my site and you would get the full amount of what you would charge. Let me know if you think this is something you would consider. <br /><br />Love<br />TerrieTerriehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05570660485009183858noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4031407242670598484.post-32956379954293200022009-10-23T05:10:23.529-07:002009-10-23T05:10:23.529-07:00You have some wonderful projects planned, Jerelene...You have some wonderful projects planned, Jerelene and I believe they will flourish. If all of them get hectic remember to take care of you and prioritize what you want to do most of all so that you don't get worn out from it all!<br /><br />I have sent two cards to my pen pal this month.<br /><br />Does massaging your neck help or is this a problem that you've had for a long, long time?<br /><br />Wish you could video your music playing so everyone could enjoy it in blogland! YOur idea for playing at the nursing home is right on target as it has proven to make people feel so much better.<br /><br />blessings and happy hugs,<br /><br />marcy<br /><br />p.s. Will pray that everyone is on the mend!Blessings each dayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08253526265578804769noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4031407242670598484.post-73374915178656068402009-10-23T04:59:37.658-07:002009-10-23T04:59:37.658-07:00I've missed you! I can see that you've ha...I've missed you! I can see that you've had plenty on your "plate".<br /><br />It sounds like you have some good plans and plenty of activities to keep you (and Sam) busy! I know the blessings will flow both ways when you spend time with the residents in the nursing home!<br /><br />Just be sure to keep some "margins" in your life. Every wonderful activity that you add to your schedule draws emotional and mental energy from you as well as physical. <br /><br />I believe that when emotional, mental and physical reserves are depleted, we are more prone to illness & unnatural fatigue. These lead to neglect or forgetfulness of day to day maintenance chores and errors in judgment that have yet MORE negative consequences. <br /><br />Now I sound preachy :( Forgive me. I can sense your good heart and holy intentions and only want them to continue and flourish.Rebeccahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08740950362293427086noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4031407242670598484.post-60813415471106851052009-10-22T21:10:59.280-07:002009-10-22T21:10:59.280-07:00What a wonderful idea for you and Sam to go to the...What a wonderful idea for you and Sam to go to the nursing home...playing the piano and the cello...knitting...making new friends. I'm happy for you, Jerelene.<br />I hope that everyone in your house is on the mend soon. That grungy ole bug is going around everywhere.<br />I have sent my pen pal cards. You are sweet to keep up with this, Jerelene. It is a great idea...and I thank you for keeping it organized for us (especially for me!!...I need much help in that department.)<br />Take care of you, my friend.<br />Love,<br />JackieJackiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01214796594702277709noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4031407242670598484.post-300200419272905302009-10-22T21:06:50.144-07:002009-10-22T21:06:50.144-07:00Oh my!
