Thank You

To everyone that blogged with Ceekay, you made her life brighter and the days of treatment pass quicker.

Ceekay went home to be with her Lord Sunday night.

Thank you for being involved in her life.

Because you asked

So many of you have asked to keep you informed on how my hubby and I are doing.  Hubs is doing very well.  He is walking with a cane and maneuvering good.  I got the results of my liver biopsy and it wasn't great.  I will be retaking Doxil again.  This is a standard use for ovarian cancer.  I may have to have some radiation again also.  I am praying I will do well and not be too sick.

I hope you all are having a great summer.  It is HOT, HOT, HOT HERE!  I do still read your blogs and so many of  you are so active.  Wish that was me!  But thankful the Lord gave me today.

Joyfully,

Ceekay

Blogging Break

Do you all wonder what is going on.....well, I wish I could really tell you.  If you follow my FB, you saw that I was hospitalized for a few days. Not fun at all!!  I have to go tomorrow morning for a liver biopsy again.  This is to get the type of tumor it is for DNA and see if a certain drug would it attack it better.  My cancer has gotten a little worse and frankly, we are confused as to what path to take.  No I do  not want to have the biopsy, but you do what you have to do.  In the meantime, we are preparing for hubby's knee replacement surgery next week.  Hopefully I will get through that before I have to start another chemo regimen.  The Lord is faithful, and I am depending on Him that we will climb above this.  I admit that this has me a bit stressed out.  I depend on my hubby so much with all my treatments, but now, he will have to depend on me.  So prayers are appreciated.

I will not be blogging for a while.  Frankly, I just cannot add it to the plate.  I do think about all my blog friends often and pray that your summer will be fantastic!  I am hopeful that I will be back to blogging soon in the future, but honestly, I just can't say.

Thank you for all the prayer and concern for me over the last  8 1/2 years.  Words will never tell you what it has meant to me and my husband.  Pray for a cure for cancer.  It is such a nasty thief!

Trust in the Lord with all your Heart and He will direct your path......

Joyfully,

Triple D, Redo and Girlfriend Time!

Whew!  Maybe you better get a drink!

My husband took me to a new restaurant today after my chemo.  This gas station/restaurant/bakery/store was on Triple D.  We LOVE that show!  Anyways, this one is in Scottsdale and is called The Thumb.  Oh it was delicious.  I had crab cakes!  Delish!







We will be back...It is beautiful out there!

Ok, now for the redo.....remember this chair I bought at a garage sale for $1.00?  I finally got it done and I am thrilled with it.



This is after I shabbyfied it!



Here you can see the new LR carpet at the cabin.

And finally, I wanted to share that I am off on my girlfriend trip.  I fly out tomorrow.  Of course, hubby is staying home.  We have lots of fun things planned....but I probably won't post until I return.  Please pray for a safe and smooth flight.  You all know how I love to fly!!!!!!

Joyfully,

A Little Rose

My rosebush is blooming these gorgeous apricot color roses.  I love to get a bud and put in a small vase.


This is not the correct color of the rose but the little vase is about 4 inches...


Just a little fun on a quiet Tuesday!

Happy Easter Peeps!

Hallelujah, He is Risen!

I wanted to take time to wish all of my blogging friends a Blessed Easter.

I took a few shots around our home.  I am decorating less and less with each passing year.  I ask my hubby what is wrong with me?  He says.....should I remind you what your main job is?  It is staying alive!  But, a little decoration still is pretty and fun when we walked in from the cabin, to see Easter joy waiting for us!


These egg topiaries and wreath....I can't even guess how old they are!


I always like this white bunny with them.


I love this nest...it is getting old too!  The wood bird I bought in SC one year!  I like them together also!



Well, same story here....but he had to come out and say Hi!


This bunny is absolutely my favorite!  Waiting for a tummy scratch!


So I hope you are all enjoying Easter with your families and friends.  We will be seeing our son this afternoon and our daughter's family.....on Friday.  Hard to get everyone together anymore!

Joyfully,

Am I Here, or am I There?

Think of a cat trying to catch it's tail.   Yep, that is kinda me.  Where is that wide spatula?  Is is here (home) or did I take it there (cabin)?

Anyways....I am almost done with my $1.00  chair makeover.  Yep, I think you are gonna like it.

My favorite room at the cabin is our bedroom.  I finally have a shabby chic ish room.  Hubby kept it semi controlled!


Finally got my little chandy hung ...


There are just no words....no words....I am in LOVE!



 I think I might have been a bit embarrasing for my hubby when I found this on clearance at HOBLOB!
He said just get it....and let's get out of here!!

We are currently working on redoing the steps into the cabin from the AZ room.  Bigger job than we thought.

It is also getting ridiculous hot here in Phoenix already. So I might be there?????

Joyfully,

Finding Treasures

One of the things my hubby and I love to do when we are up north is to go to yard sales and find out of the way places.


 I could not  believe I found this Longaberger basket for $3.00.  Katy bar the door, I was taking this home!


Then I found  this hour glass for $2.00.


The trees were all in bloom!


And the  daffodils popping out!


The sunsets are beautiful....




We went to a storage unit sale and the whole area was decorated.


and of course, there is always time for a little Bubba wrestling!


At home, Bingo is over for the season....I found the Bingo coasters so I made this for the girls at my table.

I will be posting sporatically.  We do not have internet up north....but I will check in occasionly.  The Lord is Faithful and we are enjoying our time together!

Joyfully,

A Little Look

into the AZ room at our cabin.


This is right by the back door going outside.  The carpet is in fairly good condition.  We have some paint touch ups to do....but I love the burlap valances.


This is behind the couch and over.  I think I showed the clock...but got shelf up for old stuff!  I am not done with it yet.....but you get the idea.

I bought this wire racky thing from the Old Brick House last month.  A friend had given me the blue insulators.  See the bit of wood?  That is actually a piece of the pole that the insulators would have screwed on to.


I had the relax sign on our other cabin....so that is on the wall over the heater in that room.


We found this old Midcentury cabinet for $20.00.  I cleaned it up as best I could.  I would love to paint it, but I am still working on that one with a certain man!  Anyways....I took up from home some things...

Some crocks, my mom's McCoy, my flower frog collection....etc!


I am standing at the front door looking into the AZ room.  Hubby's shed door is open...oops!

I

 I had a small piece left from the valance so I made a little square for the table.  The little pot clock is from CB.


I took this picture while I was sitting on the couch inside looking into the AZ room.  Disregard the pink carpet.  We are waiting for our new carpet to come in, and I went a bit daring for me.  I hope I like it....I think I will!!

I want to thank all those who pray for me regularly.  I didn't mention anything, but I had a health scare this week.  All is fine now, but never take your days for granted.  It wasn't really cancer related, but it is linked to treatment of my cancer.

But I feel good, and I am going to the Old Brick House tomorrow.  Note to self:  leave checkbook HOME!

Joyfully,

Ceekay
