It was propofol I think. I will be praying that all turns out well for you and the biopsies! Such a crazy time for you! How funny that the same dress that fits Piper was found at a yard sale! And I know what you mean about dogs shedding, it is so bad this time of year as they are putting on their winter coat. How wonderful to have such a blessed Thanksgiving time at your church, and to be able to relax and enjoy it all! Such a blessing! Many hugs to you today dear friend :) Marilyn @ MountainTopSpicehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00600290895531484438noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8162150278449660664.post-91741245151327284072017-11-20T14:36:05.648-06:002017-11-20T14:36:05.648-06:00Next time get a golden doodle or labradoodle.

I am in awe of yours! Hope you are feeling much better by now, how horrible to feel so ill after the test. We have had our version of the fly here with Little Buddy and my husband down. I had a mild, mild version of it thank goodness. I hope you have a wonderful Thanksgiving.

I do trust Jesus that all will come back perfectly benign, and hope you never have to go through that again. That sounds just awful. Your things look so nice and organized! Seeing all the yarn is just such proof of your giving, kind heart. I can't imagine how many lives you touch and bless through the beautiful things you create. God bless and keep you and heal you!

The joy may not always seem to be there but I’ve learnt it is there even in the blackest hardest trials and I do thank God in it in the end.<br />I’m going through another rough patch after few good weeks, it’s life as ordained by our Father Besty. Rest and rejoice in Him.. for He giveth us songs in the night...<br />Cute Piper, what a blessing that dress and how good God is, as my friend says, coincidence is God’s way of remaining anonymous, I love that.<br />Great knitting, well done as usual and think organising is wonderful.

Little Miss Piper is so adorable and growing so tall. I will keep you in my prayers. You are part of the army of The Lord, and fighting the good fight against evil, the devil will always try to attack you, either in your relationships or your body...but I pray in agreement with you, that His love will surround you and protect you from all evil. You are such a bright light to love to this world. Keep on shinning my sweet friend. I can't wait to see what you get from knit picks, they have such lovely yarn. Blessings to you and yours always sweet friend. :) ((hugs))Stitchy Mc Floss https://www.blogger.com/profile/00562041622656969121noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8162150278449660664.post-74059652101761011702017-11-17T08:22:51.118-06:002017-11-17T08:22:51.118-06:00Good morning!

You certainly get a lot knitted though! I hope your cardiologist visit goes well. I have one coming up soon. Metoprolol has been added to my list of meds now. Have you had to take that one? Good job at organizing under your bathroom cabinet. We were given a notepad at our ladies meeting last night. The verse at the bottom is a good one! "The Lord has done great things for us And we are filled with joy" Psalms 126:3 Have a joy filled day!

I just started a little crochet book bag for Sarah's second birthday on the 23rd, and I love seeing the beautiful scarf you are making.

Piper looks so cute in those polka dots and how amazing it was found so far from where the wedding took place. The girl you're knitting the scarf for will be very happy with that, I'm sure. I look forward to seeing what hap pattern you use. I want to make a new knitted hat, too. It was fun to see your yarn stash again, it makes me feel better knowing what I have in my craft studio.. lol. I hope your health issues mellow out fast.. you've got a big holiday season ahead of you!

I don't watch many home shows on TV, but if they had them just about organizing, I'd be hooked! Maybe they already have that, I'm sure I can't be the only one who likes it. How cool about Piper's dress, what a nice coincidence! I didn't have any children in my wedding (there weren't any to have, actually), but I would have liked to choose dresses with them. I love little girls' clothing. I just got a box this afternoon with some things from Carter's that I ordered for my daughter, including her Christmas dress. I will be so sorry when she is too big for their clothes. She's small for her age, so I feel like I got an extra year or two most moms don't get to enjoy with clothes for little girls. The clothes change so much in the big girls' sizes and not always in a good way. I hope all your medical results come back healthy. Hopefully you'll have a break from medical stuff for a little bit now. After my son's appointment next week, we should have a break for a little while and I'm very excited about it. Hope you have a good weekend!Jennifer Hayshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04685253944514672324noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8162150278449660664.post-59730693904563231892017-11-16T15:19:48.517-06:002017-11-16T15:19:48.517-06:00Sometimes I feel the same way about dealing with m...Sometimes I feel the same way about dealing with medical stuff.
