A quick update ...

Happy Thursday, all! Just a quick little update on our friend (and my favorite dance partner) Walt. I have been in touch almost on a daily basis with his children and daughter-in-law regarding his progress. This is the latest update which his son, Billy, posted just this morning on his Facebook page ...

"The last 3 days have been extremely positive for dad as he was able to say my name and recognize me each day when I walked in to see him. Today he was able to eat half a sandwich and drink some tea and is getting stronger each day. We are happy to say he is medically stable to be moved to a rehab nursing facility to begin physical therapy within the next few days. Thank you all once again for all the prayers and well wishes as dad takes another big step in his road to recovery."

This Saturday my hubby and I plan on going to visit him in the hospital. We don't expect him to remember us as he has not regained his full memory as of yet, but Hopefully he will in time." 😞 💔

A very warm and sincere "Thank You" to my friends who wished Walt thoughtful "Get Well" wishes!

Brightest Blessings!!

Hay Creek Apple Festival

(Originally published on September 10, 2022)

Today, we attended The 46th Annual Hay Creek Festival in Geigertown, PA with my sister Aurora Skye and her hubby ...

 

There were a lot of fun and educational things to see ...

Tracker pull rides for the kiddies ...

This is the building where they serve breakfast and show the Victorian Christmas Tree display in December at their last annual event, "Christmas at Joanna Furnace"...

Quilts!

The Historic Joanna Furnace ...

Hand-crafted pewter figurines ... 

Handmade brooms ...

The antique car show!

Some live musical entertainment and a few vendors ...

Fantastic homemade soups!

The soups are made FRESH ....

We took home a couple of canisters of Chicken Noodle Soup ... 

A pretty handmade wreath I bought at the festival ...

Another cool find! ...

A cute little new fall decoration!

What's Up

Blessed Sunday all! Hope everyone is doing well. Besides working six days a week as of late, I have been also keeping pretty busy at home on my only day off. Last weekend, I cleaned out my closet full of clothing that do not fit me anymore in order to make room for the clothes that do and took four bags to Goodwill.

A couple of days ago, I had a little visitor in the kitchen ... 🐞💖

Moving on, we currently have three outside cats which we are feeding and trying to give shelter to. One of them is a little boy whom my hubby named "Benny" ...

It is my sincere belief that Benny has a neurological problem as his head is always tilted to the left and his walk is "off". It is our hope that we can get close enough to him to flea treat him and get him set up in the downstairs holding cage then make an appointment with our vet for an evaluation to see if there is anything at all we can do to help him! He is so sweet!!! ...

It is that time of the season for Pumpkin Spice cookies ... 😀

Now for some rather sad news. Our friend (and my dance buddy) Walt had a very bad fall at home and hit his head causing some bleeding in the brain and he has some memory loss. He doesn't remember his five kids, but the doctors say in time that his memory will slowly come back to him. We are sending he and his family (also friends of ours from the Sinking Spring VFW) LOTS OF PRAYERS!!!
