Thank You..........

I thank all of you for your comments, condolences, flowers and to
all that have kept me focus whether it was a phone call, table scape
Thursday or Gollum Friday Foodie post and of course Tootsie who thinks
she can teach me to garden. I am with my father this week
and will return back to blog once again in a week or too. Again,
my family and I thank you for all your prayers at this time. I miss her
so! You gals are wonderful people and I have leaned on all of you; thank
you for holding me up.
Anita

A tablescape that I will never forget........A one of a kind!

This table scape is unusual; it has been hand selected by the best Gardener in blog land. Each flower as beautiful as the ones she selects for her own garden.
I have been in great pain and suffering from the death of my mother. The simply
tasks are so hard to do and I seem to get nothing accomplish. One of the blogger wrote to me and it talked about life going on and just didn't seem to be fair that life goes on. And I agree. But it took a friend in Canada to get me up from bed.
A friend that god sent my way, not realizing that I would need her in times of great stress and pain. I'm glad he did. Tootsie, so thankful for you. And I know
you don't know this but the flowers are the same that my mother had on her gasket.
She as I do love white stargazers. The alstromeria and stock are so beautiful. You didn't know that even though we met while blogging that you could know some one to
this extent. I love you Tootsie and I truly appreciate you gift and I wished it would live forever. I have my sissy and brothers and I will get Thu this. But I
need some time. Only you could have gotten me to blog today; and I can say this is
the most awesome gift of flowers ever displayed in a table scape Thursday. Thank you again my friend.













Why GOD Gave Us Friends.......He gave me Tootsie

GOD knew that everyone needs
Companionship and cheer,
He knew that people need someone
Whose thoughts are always near.

He knew they need someone kind
To lend a helping hand.
Someone to gladly take the time
To care and understand.

GOD knew that we all need someone
To share each happy day,
To be a source of courage
When troubles come our way.

Someone to be true to us,
Whether near or far apart.
Someone whose love we'll always
Hold and treasure in our hearts.

That's Why GOD Gave Us Friends!

Thank you

My sister sends all her thank you's to each of you. I have read her all your comments and she is over whelmed with all your support. She will be leaving
on Friday to be with my father. She will join you all; she needs time.
Tootsie and Gloria she wants you to know that her heart is filled with so much
love and support from both of you. Always asking about our mother and all of
you have kept her busy with blogging and I appreciate that. Anita and I are very close and she is my big sister; she is always there for me and our other brothers.
She is always trying to do the right thing and make decisions that our mother and
father would want her to do. She raised me while our mother worked and I can't tell
you what a wonderful person her and her husband are. I still feel like mother is here Thu Anita. But she is so heart broken as we all are but she is so like mom, her shoes, clothes, purses and her home. When I see my sister I see my mother. I look more like mom but Anita has her good will and I have the calm side of mother.
So we will help each other and I took care of mother up until she passed; Anita feels guilty that she couldn't spend the time with her like she wanted. But if you know Anita she owns two business plus her floral shop and she is never still. She took care of mother in other ways. She feels she needs this extra time with my father and she is going to take that time. Please pray for us and our family.
Sissy will be back soon for she loves to table scape and interior design. Photos of her home doesn't do it justice, she is so creative but she doesn't show you that side of her; she sells herself short. I am with my father and I will stay as long
as it's necessary. It's been hard on my father who has been the primary care giver for mother for 10 years. I came two weeks out of the month to help. We need more prayers than you can realize. Tootsie, Anita's husband said that you where the sweetest person he had talked to. So sweet of you to call yesterday and check on Anita. Thank you. Jeweldine Stewart
