SCRAPPILY YOURS

Blessed are those who understand what miracles love can accomplish, for it is the power of love that makes all dreams a reality."

Ever have one of those times?

It's been a horrid two weeks here. I am down with pneumonia yet again for the third time in 6 months and am not happy! I feel like crap! I am on high powered antibiotics yet again and am feeling better to some degree physically.

Emotionally right now I am in shock..our neighbor's daughter in law was found dead by her husband when he came home from work morning before last. She was only in her 20's and the cause of death is not known yet but we all have our suspcions that she may have accidently overdosed on something. My heart aches for her husband who we have known since he was a little boy and for the 3 children she leaves behind. They also live where I saw their back door from our front door so knew them fairly well. Please say some prayers for their families! The whole neighborhood as well as the families are shocked and devasted by her death.

I had a go around with paypal this morning as yesterday when i checked my acct there is a double charge listed from my one monthly payment and the seller says they only requested payment once and yet pp shows it twice and pp refuses to do anything until after the 5 days authorization expires and then they will escalate if need be. Now when the seller says they didn't and believe me I trust the seller as have dealt with them almost 8 years now with no problem i would say someone needs to check on it but noooooooooo nobody seems to give a rats butt that my money is absent! Luckily it doesn't make my account in the negative but still it's money I use for my prescriptions, website payments etc and i don't want it messed with!

To top it all off this week I was purchasing from several different scrap stores and had issues with two of them that I couldn't get my downloads or got a wrong download! Grrrrr! I know these things happen and both stores have quickly been working on the problem but it is frustrating when i get an idea and then can't implement it because i can't get the basic portion i want to work with ugh.

So that is my lovely two weeks ick ick and ICK! It's still snowing here and only about 20 degrees and that sucks!

On a SUPER DOOPER NOTE i got a surprise package in the mail from my brothers and sisters when they were together for my one brother's birthday..they had taken time to make an old fashioned family recipe called Dutch Loaf which is a bread loaf made with cardimom, muscat raisins and a bunch of other delightful things like cinnamon and sugar! They safely had wrapped upa loaf and mailed it to me! I was in heaven and as I was feeling so icky it just hit the spot to make me feel comfort! I LOVE my brothers and sisters for thinking of me when I was not able to be there even more for sending me some! I adore them all if you haven't guessed but just wish I did not live such a distance from them or that I could travel more often. I know my grandfather would be smiling down on them as he was the one who always made the Dutch and it was a labor of love on his part every year at Christmas time. That sliced in thin slices, buttered along with a wedge of extra sharp cheese is one thing I remember my daddy snacking on when he came to stay! Better than chicken soup for this old sick gal!
