Happy Halloween

Hi all I want to wish you all a Happy Halloween and be safe Just going to post a picture of our granddaughter Gracie in her Bunny Costume. I will Not be entering any of the Challenges this week  out of respect to all of those that were in that Horrifying Storm Sandy! We have Family in Jersey and they have been with out Electric for days now, and are not sure how long it will take to get it back on. We thank God that they are all safe and no one we love or know had any damage at all. So I just want to say God Bless everyone that had to face this storm and Lost anything due to it. Do remember God will not close one door with  out opening a better one. So God Bless and be safe.

 The surgery went well today. When they cleaned his wounds they said that his wounds looked good enough to clean every other day instead of every day. I know its a small victory but a victory nonetheless, especially when it means he will suffer less pain! Praise God for the lack of infection and that he is on the road to healing. We are all excited to see him tomorrow when he gets to Maryland!!!!
