Living room etagere' decor - Part 9

Morning Sweet Friends,

Hope this finds you doing well, 

and that nothing crazy or life altering

 is going on in your world.

Ever heard the saying "life is what happens when you

are making your plans?" Also, I think about a commercial

we see on TV for a local church, where the Pastor is

 talking about how one phone call can change everything

 or turn your world upside down. 

Well, that is sort of describes our last past 9 days.

Told you hubby was going to be on vacation last week, 

so our plan was to go to Asheville to vacation and

watch our Grandaughter DOG

while my daughter and hubby went away for their 3rd

Anniversary, we were to watch Rosie the first week,

then they would return the following Sat. night and

then we would spend a week with them.

Well,  we did make it to Asheville about 2a.m. slept

from 2::30-4:30a.m, got up took them to the airport at

5:00,  came back went back to bed at 5:30 and slept

till about 10:00, got up made some coffee and sat

around trying to wake up and finally ate a simple

breakfast..  Since it was suppose to rain ( but

 thankfully it never did till the middle of the night), 

 around 2 p.m. we decided to venture  out a church

 we wanted to attend on Sunday that was only 4

 mins.from where the kids live,  so we did that and

 also got to see beautiful scenery, all the trees are

so gorgeous,  and this was all right there in the

church parking lot, believe it or not!!  Amazing

church facility I have to say.  Anyway,  we also

drove on down the road the church was on and

 did some exploring and pic taking.....found some

beautiful yellow and orange berries and a bed

and breakfast way up on a mountain.  I just love

exploring like that...........you just never know

what you will find..............

Anyway, It was good we did that cause, as

 we were returning from our short exploration

 headed back to the townhouse, we got a call

 from my son, which since it had only been hours

that I had talked to him.... flagged me to already

 know, uh oh, something is wrong.

My first thought of course, was the baby, then

he proceeded to tell me that my SIL,Susan, 

had fallen and said she had broken her hip,

and that she was in the hospital and resting

comfortably. Later her neighbor/ friend said it

could be her leg they didn't know for sure yet,

 and since it was Sat. she had not seen the Dr./

surgeon yet, so they really didn't know the extent

 of the damage or what they were gonna do yet,  

and that she was resting comfortably and not in

 pain for now, and not to do anything until we

 knew more information.  Scott and Megan were

 at an air show and Susan's neighbor/friend

 who is also nurse, thank the Lord, was with

 her at the hospital, and Scott said they would go

 up to the hospital and find out what was going

 on,  and call us later that evening.

 She did not get to see the surgeon until late 

Sunday evening, and it was her hip and she 

needed to have surgery,  which was scheduled

 for 11:30 a.m. on Monday Oct. 13th.  So we

 headed home to Florida on Monday after some

 crazy delays,  that turned out to be because my

 daughter did not have their keys with them to 

their town house since we were supposed

 to be there when they got back. We decided

 not tell DeeAnna about her aunt since

 it was not life threatening and since there was 

nothing she could do from Puerto Rico anyway,

so figured why ruin their trip.  Thankfully, By

 accident, Dee found out from Megan (our DIL) 

we were on our way back to Florida, just

 as we were 30 mins.into our trip home, she

called me and said what is going on?? and that 

they didn't have a key to get in............  

Thank the Lord for all those delays or we would

 have been hours down the road, cause we had

 to turn around and go back and leave the key

 under their doormat.

Thankfully that all turned out well.

Susan had the surgery and has done very

well as far as healing from the surgery, has

not had a lot of pain unless they move her,

and has been in good spirits.  We had her

 moved to a rehab facility on Thursday, and 

she is slowly (which is very typical) making

 progress.  Our biggest concern is that she

has a bad knee that really needs knee re-

placement surgery on the same leg that

 she broke her hip, and it was actually what

caused her fall in the first place.   So if you

 feel so led,  please pray for healing of that

 knee, and that it will not impede her

 progress!

Fortunately,  I already had these pics to this

and Thursday post already prepared since I

thought we would be on vacation still.  We have 

quite a full plate so don't know what will happen

 after this week, cause we are of course, visiting

 her, and feeding her menagerie of 9 pets twice a

 day, along with any thing else that needs to be

 taken care of, as well, as running our own

household, and hubby is back to work too.

So.........will just take it as it comes.

So that has pretty much been our week. We did

 manage to get some pics of the pretty trees and 

scenery up there, so maybe I can post  some

next week,  Lord willing......lol

So on with the Fall decorating...............
