A Happy Thanksgiving for sure!

We had a Happy Thanksgiving for sure! We love all being together for the holidays, I can't imagine always being home alone. We have so much to be thankful for!

Due to my arthritis I decided to try a few new easy pie recipes and they were an immediate hit. My family loved them and I will be using them for years to come. They were taken from a recipe book I have of the movie, "The Help".

Here are a few photos of our time together as well as some of the food!

Bennett is going everywhere now, he smiles and laughs a lot and brought joy to our celebration. Above he is pictured with my Dad.

The food was some of the best yet!

Austin did wonderful you can tell she is growing into a young lady. Here she is eating (which is a real chore she told me that she doesn't like food) and then Dad took her out and let her run around some.

That was all the family for this year. Our other children were unable to be with us. We hope to see the others in December.

I pray you have a wonderful Thanksgivng like we did!

Now I am taking the day off to rest and watch football but hope to start decorating for Christmas soon! The month of December is already filling up and getting quite crazy but I wouldn't have it any other way!

Thanks for stopping by y'all and please come again soon!

Is the Easter bunny hiding under your bed?

 

I am convinced more now than ever that I may have something hiding in my house that could kill me. Let me backtrack, I clean my house thoroughly every week whether it needs it or not. My family have been known to tell me that I go a bit overboard.

Yesterday I went for my testing for RA and praise the Lord they think that I only have Osteoarthritis, which is bad enough in itself but not as crippling as rheumatoid. I should have all test and x-ray results back in eight weeks.



So this morning, knowing that I can't sit around and do nothing because I'm in pain or I will be an invalid, I decided it was house cleaning day. You will never believe what I found under my bed y'all! It was dust bunnies the size of a frog. REALLY when it came rolling out I jumped thinking a frog had gotten under my bed. Now for those of you who personally know me and don't believe this story just go get a good dust mop, lay down on your belly close to your bed and see what comes rolling out of yours then comment back and let me know.

Friends if we have dust bunnies like this under our beds and we clean all the time what else may be in our homes? Ugh I don't want to think about it.

See I knew that it was house cleaning time because I've woke up several morning with a bad sinus headache. If you are an allergy suffer that is a sure sign that the Easter bunny is hiding under your bed too.

Thanks for stopping by y'all and please come again soon!

Happy Birthday

No, I'm not talking about my birthday or any persons in general as far as that goes it's my blogs birthday! I began blogging on Yahoo360 and when it ended I moved over to blogspot in April of 2009. I can't believe that I have been blogging for two years!

It's amazing to me how I run across people everyday with some type of food or environmental allergy. I would love to say that I am able to help them, but the truth is I don't know. I hope that if you are reading my blog and if you have a question or concern that I can be of help to you in some way. Hey, if I don't help you at all you can still read and keep up with what's going on in my gluten free world. 

Please remember me in your prayers I go for testing for RA or Rheumatoid arthritis today. I have recently developed a big knot on one hand and stay in continual pain. At times I find blogging almost impossible and I am hoping that after this appointment they will give me something to help with the pain. I know that regardless of the outcome God is here with me and I'm thankful for that! Thank you for your prayers as I walk through this valley.

Happy Birthday Blog!

Thanks for stopping by y'all and please come again soon.

Prayers would be appreciated!

I have been having pain in my hands, back and other areas for quiet a while now, since this is another symptom of Celiac disease I had not thought much of it. The pain seems to get worse all the time so recently I went to my doctor in hopes of him giving me something to help. While there we discussed my pains and my family history. Because Rheumatoid Arthritis runs in both sides of my family he is sending me to a specialist next week to have test run.

I am writing to tell you this first of all so you can pray for me and secondly so that you know that if I don't blog regularly it may be due to the pain. PLEASE don't stop visiting my blog. You are my friends and I want us to remain that way.

I have some VERY EXCITING news to share in the near future that you will not want to miss.

I just returned from having my hair cut so that it is easier for me to take care of. If I am having a bad day fixing my hair is torture.

By cutting my hair the way it grows it should make my life easier, thanks to Jessica at Legends.

My meals are very simple due to our diet and the pain in my hands. Last night I made my Classic Chili. Tonight I plan on grilling some chicken and making vegetables to go with it.

I have lost a total of 2 pounds and Honey is trying bless his heart I think he's cheating on the side but this week he should do better.

That's all for now, thanks for stopping by y'all and please come again soon.
