Karen,

Jeanne's timing sending all these goodies was perfect. So glad to hear this brightened your day. Sounds like she sent some fantastic things.

Now we have to hope dad's paperwork will fall in place for you.

Karen,
Isn't great when things look bleak, something can come along to let the sun shine through.
Jeanne's timing and thoughtfulness seem to have done just that. I hope the ladies who are helping you can cut through the red tape quickly.

Karen - So glad to hear you had a ray of sunshine today. I know that Jeanne's gift really lifted your spirits. I hope that the situation with your father's care is resolved soon. - Marylee

Wow, I just mailed that box on Fri...so that was fast delivery!!! Glad you enjoyed, Karen! Yes, Merry (belated) Christmas! I thought it was time to pass that snowman onto you...since it is a lavendar(kinda' like purple) in color...I've had 10 yrs or so...& liked it so much cause the snowman is holding a book! & since in Phoenix you don't get snowmen...you needed at least ONE! LOL!

The little dark purple glass vase is vintage...at least I don't think it's a replica...I spotted it at a consignment store some mos. back & watched it until, low & behold, it was reduced....& then I knew it was meant to be! For "Purplemoon!" I have a duplicate that was from my Mother...I think they were produced in the late 1940's...cause it was a gift from G'ma to my Mom in her early married life.

I am so sorry to hear that there is STILL MORE HASSLE for you & DD! Ugh! Hope that the STRESS of the day brings progress w/your phone calls & all! Hugs to you, PM! Jeanne S. :-)

I sure things get better for you, Karen. It is a nightmare, I know.
So sweet of J to send you some sunshine!

It sure sounds like Jeanne had great timing on that nice box of goodies!

Medical stuff sure is not fun is it? Always "hurry up and wait". Sure hope they get all the issues resolved and get him in there so both of you can recuperate a bit.

How fabulous that Jeanne knew just the right time to send you that care package. I would say you have made some great friends on this forum, which hopefully, makes up for the fair weather "friend" that left when you needed her.

Way to go Jeanne!!

HUGS to both of you,
Candy

You are so right, Candy. Everyone here is so wonderful.
Jeanne, Luvs, and Kirk all go back to my first Forum moments when I stumbled on Garden Junk years ago! Then I met others there who became friends, and I'm so happy they come here now too. Especially since I lurk mostly on GJ now. (no energy for garden stuff these days).

It never ceases to amaze me how you can meet someone online and feel this instant connection. I've been so blessed to have found both these Forums. They came into my life at a time I really needed, as if it was "meant to be" for me to find them. My old life was undergoing so many changes...I was a bit lost to say the least. Maybe my guardian angel pushed just the right button on the keyboard, LOL. I sure never knew about Forums like this.

hugs, Karen
