ASSISTANT FOR TODAY, WOULD LIKE TO THANK OUR BEAUTIFUL HOSTESS, SUSAN AT

FOR CREATING OUTDOOR WEDNESDAY, AND PRESENT SUSAN WITH THESE ELEGANT

ROSES, CALLED "THE JACKIE ONASSIS ROSE" FROM MY ROSE GARDEN.


PLEASE VISIT SUSAN'S BLOG BY CLICKING ON HER SITE ABOVE OR BY CLICKING

ON HER BUTTON ON MY RIGHT HAND SIDE BAR. WHILE AT HER BLOG YOU WILL

FIND A LIST OF OUTDOOR WEDNESDAY PARTICIPANTS. ALL WONDERFUL LADIES.


THANK YOU ANDY FOR BEING SUCH A WONDERFUL ASSISTANT.




YOU CANNOT TELL BY THIS PICTURE BUT THESE ARE MY BEAUTIFUL PEACE ROSES.

THEY SMELL HEAVENLY. I PUT THEM IN A VINTAGE BLUE ENAMEL COFFEE POT.

I LOVED THE ENAMEL WITH SOMETHING SO ELEGANT.......BUT BOTH OUTSIDE AND

INSIDE YOU COULD NOT TELL HOW BEAUTIFUL THESE ROSES WERE.

THANK GOODNESS I HAD MY DH HERE TO SET THE DATE ON THE CAMERA.

MY PEACE ROSES...THIS BUSH IS 5 YEARS OLD

THE LATE FREEZE THIS YEAR WAS NOT GOOD FOR HER

THESE ARE MY RED CANNAS. WE HAVE HAD TO DIG THEM UP, REPLANT, GIVE

AWAY BUT THEY FLOURISH ON THE WEST SIDE OF MY HOUSE. SOME PEOPLE DIG

THE BULBS UP IN THE FALL TO PROTECT THEM...MY DH AND I NEVER HAVE AND WE

HAVE SOME HARSH WINTERS.

I FOUND THE CHAIR AT A CURB SIDE ONE DAY AND THE SEAT WAS ACTUALLY

ALL BROKEN TWINE-TYPE STUFF...MY HUSBAND MADE A SEAT FOR IT AND THEN CUT

A HOLE FOR MY FLOWER POT. I HAD IT PAINTED IN SOME SOFT VICTORIAN

COLORS BUT IT IS 7 YEARS I HAVE HAD IT. IT SETS AT THE END OF THE FLOWER

BED RIGHT BY THE GATE TO THE BACK YARD...I WANTED SOMETHING SPECIAL TO

BE THERE FOR BACK YARD VISITORS.

I HAVE NOT PLANTED FLOWERS YET BUT THERE WILL BE ASPARAGUS FERN AND

IMPATIENTS.

YOU CAN'T TELL THAT THE HEART SAYS WELCOME....THE STRING HANGING DOWN

TIES THE HEART TO THE BACK OF THE CHAIR WHEN FLOWERS ARE PLANTED.

THIS IS MY JACKIE ONASIS ROSE. WE LOST THE SLIP THAT CAME WITH THE

ROSE BUSH AND IT MAY BE CALLED THE JACKIE O...WE JUST CANNOT REMEMBER.

IT IS A DEEP SALMON COLORED AND THE ROSES ARE SMALL...NOT AS BIG AS MY

PEACE ROSES. THE SMELL IS BEAUTIFUL....LIKE THE OLD, OLD ENGLISH

ROSES THAT OUR GRANDMOTHERS HAD.

THAT CONCLUDES MY OUTDOOR WEDNESDAY FOR THIS WEEK...NEXT WEEK I

DON'T KNOW IF I WILL BE ABLE TO PARTICIPATE BECAUSE IT WILL BE THE DAY BEFORE AMY'S

SURGERY....MAYBE I CAN POST IT MONDAY NIGHT.

AMY AND LEILA ON MY FRONT PORCH 5/26/09.

AMY ALWAYS HAS A RED NECKLACE ON......THE LITTLE GLASS BALL HANGING FROM THE

NECKLACE IS A MUSTARD SEED. THAT IS ANOTHER BEAUTIFUL STORY

FOR ANOTHER DAY.

THIS IS LEILA IN HER SHORT, DARLING WIG TAKEN 5/28/09 AT DR. DEXEUS'S

WHEN AMY RECEIVED HER LAST CHEMOTHERAPY. THEY ARE LIKE TWO LITTLE

RED HENS PECKING OUT MESSAGES ON THEIR MATCHING BLACKBERRIES...THEY

CARRY MATCHING PURSES AND THEY BROUGHT A CREAM CHEESE DIP TO EAT

WHILE AMY WAS GETTING CHEMO.



SHE WAS OFFERING THE CAMERA LADY A CRACKER.

THIS IS MY BELOVED AMY RECEIVING CHEMOTHERAPY SETTING IN WHAT

I CALL DR. DEXEUS'S BROWN RECLINER OF HOPE. NOW ON THE OTHER SIDE OF

THE ROOM THERE ARE BLUE RECLINERS OF HOPE.

THE WINDOWS AT THE BACK OF THE PICTURE IS WHERE THEY MIX ALL THE

CHEMOTHERAPY DRUGS. NO ONE BUT THE THREE NURSES MIXING DRUGS ARE

EVER ALLOWED IN THAT ROOM.

FOR THOSE OF YOU WHO HAVE NEVER RECEIVED CHEMOTHERAPY, AMY AND

LEILA BOTH HAVE PORT-A-CATHS. YOU CAN SEE THE TUBING COMING OUT FROM

AMY'S SHIRT. THE PORT-A-CATH IS IMPLANTED IN SURGERY AND HAS A TUBE FEEDING TO

AN AREA OF THE HEART WHERE THERE IS A LARGE BLOOD FLOW (IMPLANTED IN THE LEFT

SIDE OF CHEST WALL) PEOPLE WHO HAVE PORT-A-CATHS IMPLANTED MEANS THEY ARE GOING

TO BE RECEIVING SOME VERY HARD CORE CHEMO DRUGS THAT WILL DESTROY THE VEINS

AND WITH SOME OF THE CHEMOS IF THE IV INFILTRATES IT WILL DESTROY THE

SURROUNDING TISSUE.



AMY WILL GO TO DR. DEXEUS THURSDAY BUT NO CHEMO.

SHE GOES TO SEE DR. MEDINA IN OKC 6/8/09 AT 3:00 PM. SHE HAS A CT SCAN

PRIOR AT 1:00 PM.....AND SURGERY 6/10/09 BUT WE WON'T KNOW ANYTHING UNTIL

6/8/09 ABOUT THE TIME OF SURGERY.


GREAT NEWS....PRAISE THE LORD NEWS ON LEILA............AMY WENT WITH LEILA

FOR HER DRS. APPOINTMENT MONDAY. HER DR. GAVE HER THE RESULTS OF HER

CT SCAN........AFTER TWO ROUNDS OF CHEMOTHERAPY THE PARTS OF THE TUMOR

THAT COULD NOT BE REMOVED HAVE SHRUNK "40 %" OH PRAISE THE LORD.

ALSO WHEN SHE WAS FIRST DIAGNOSED HER BLOOD CANCER LEVEL WAS OVER

500......500.....IT IS NOW 42......OH PRAISE THE LORD.

I AM NOT FAMILIAR WITH THIS TEST BECAUSE THEY DID NOT DO THIS ON AMY

BUT I WONDER IF IT HAS SOMETHING TO DO WITH UTERINE/OVARY CANCER.

BEST..."GLORIOUS"... WISHES TO GLORIA AT HAPPY TO BE.

AT TWELVE NOON 6/2/08 SHE WAS BLESSED WITH THE DELIVERY OF A

BEAUTIFUL GREAT GRANDSON

JEREMIAH LUCAS

URL BUT I KNOW YOU ALL KNOW THIS BEAUTIFUL LADY)

THERE ARE SOME NEW PRAYER REQUESTS:

ADORABLE 2 YEAR OLD DANNY--TO NOT HAVE ANY MORE SEIZURES. THE

DR. DOES NOT KNOW WHY HE HAD SEIZURES. I JUST MET HIS MOTHER ON HER

BLOG...I THINK IT IS CHIKI'S COTTAGE...I WILL BE PLACING HIS PRESSURE PICTURE

ON THE RIGHT SIDE OF MY BLOG.

XAVIER'S BROTHER IS IN ICU ON VENTILATOR...THIS YOUNG MAN HAS SUFFERED

FOR YEARS AND HIS PARENTS HAVE BEEN SO FAITHFUL AND LOVINGLY TOOK CARE OF

HIM (A VERY SAD CASE...THIS IS A FRIEND OF AMY'S)

MY FRIEND DORIS HAS A GRANDSON BEING DEPLOYED TO IRAQ IN AUGUST

TIMES WE HAVE NEVER HAD A RUBY THROATED HUMMINGBIRD......IT WAS SO

EXCITING....JUST LIKE A VISIT FROM GOD, HIMSELF.
