FOR the Love of Papier



Blue & Brown
oh how wonderful

My friend Rhea was in Chicago for a
Bulls~Heat game
& he thought of me. 
Went shopping
for a gift & it was gift wrapped also
.
Isn't this a lovely note pad??
it says DEENA all over it
LOL ...
we'll it is so me!!

and it does have a lovely D
on it & a jewel.

Thank you Rhea
you are a dear friend

 PS My friend Rhea just happens to be my Marcia's husband too
He came and sat with me after my surgery , he is such a blessing
& a survivor TOO!


Today although I feel good, I am very tired. Rich served me breakfast in bed
& I suppose my snuggly bed will be my friend today. 


For now



PS  I am so behind on posting awards, but I have them all
appreciate each one & will do it SOON

SEE


My joy today, I've forgotten to tell you

I CAN HOLD MY RIGHT ARM UP STRAIGHT IN THE AIR
tis a major accomplishment, I barely feel limited in my range of motion,
after all that surgery.  !!!!

WHAT are your joys???
Deena

  3. Good to read your post today my friend. You are in my thoughts and my prayers ... I suspect our Father in heaven has joined our hearts even though we've not yet met face to face. I find it wonderful that we have 'family' all over God's beautiful world.
    Thank you for visiting my site again and like you, I love Paul!

  24. Good Morning Deena,
    Oh my, I so love your little note pad. It is you all the way. I tell ya, so many of yall are really inspiring me to get into the Vintage look and I have seen some of the most beautiful Vintage things on some of yall's blogs. "PRAISE GOD" you are able to hold your arm up. That was so sweet and romantic of Rich to serve you breakfast in bed. And your bed can be your best friend at times. I know mine is. LOL. It is just so comfy and I have to make myself get out of it in the mornings. LOL. Take care my friend and have a great and relaxing day. May God Bless You and Yours.

    Love & Hugs,
    Karen H.

  25. What a lovely gift Deena! Rhea's work is impeccable. Brown and blue is such an excellent color combo. One of my favs too (also cream or sand in the mix works good with these two colors). Am grateful you can hold your arm up high!!
    Today I'm grateful for things to look forward to.
    Happy to have found your blog!

    Hope you have a fabulous movie to watch today. Have you seen A Beautiful Mind? I watched it for the 1000th time last night and it was just as wonderful as it was the very first time I saw it.It is one of my favorites...along with Bridges of Madison County.
    I am thinking and praying about you today,

    Rhea certainly has good taste. I'm so glad he brought you back this lovely giftie.

    Rich is a darling for bringing you breakfast in bed. I'm so proud of him for taking such good care of you.

    My joy today is knowing that you can lift your arm above your head. Our prayers are being answered.
