~PS~

LOOK WHAT I JUST FOUND ON THE INTERNET....MY KRISTI GIRL WAS TALKING ABOUT MY BREAST CANCER TRYING TO HELP OTHER KIDS OUT. I HAD NO IDEA!!!!

Just click here and scroll to the bottom of the page!!!! WOW...It made my day and makes me so proud of her~!!!!

She is doing GREAT at basic training, she is now in charge of 58 males and females and is Platoon Leader. They EARNED their "REAPERS" FLAG which they are the first in a very long time to have earned their UNIT FLAG. She sounded great on the phone last week, she got to talk to me for almost 35 minutes as she earned it.

GOD BLESS AMERICA and PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PRAY FOR ALL OF OUR TROOPS!!!!

Love and Hugs, Amy

~My Hair~Goodbye Fall and THANK YOU'S~

IS THIS CRAZY OR WHAT???? >
This is my hair after washing and blow drying it. I promise to get a picture of it straightened....it's almost to my shoulders. This is only about 10 months of growth. My hair DOES grow fast, always has and everyone is asking me if I bought a wig....LOL

GOODBYE FALL.....I HATE WINTER and tend to stay inside because the cold cuts me to the bone. See how I still have PINK toenail polish on.....I just can't accept that summer is gone and winter is on it's way. THIS IS MY VIEW.....FROM THE "RED" SWING in the TREE looking out into the corn fields of Iowa. This is our front lawn that points to the North.

Yet another view....to the EAST

And the View to the West

This is from a sweet customer of mine (AND A TOTAL SURPRISE) Sara Sweet!!!! THANK YOU SO MUCH!!! I LOVE IT!!!

Below is the YUMMY HONEY and the BEST CANDY I HAVE EVER TASTED IN MY LIFE from winning a contest from JUDY at BROCANTE and ETC.

THIS IS HONEY FROM DENVER!!!! and HONEY STICKS FOR MY TEA....and guess what, LOL.....I just SUCKED the honey out of the sticks because it was so darn good!!!!

THE BEST TOFFEE in the WORLD and guess what, I could actually eat it with how bad my teeth are and it didn't hurt at all!!!! See the big bite out of the top of the piece!!!! YUMMY!!!!

ANOTHER SURPRISE!!!!

And to my surprise came the SWEETEST LITTLE FALL CUPCAKE pincushion from BETTY and SHE'S SEW PRETTY!!!!

A QUICK UPDATE ON ANNA.....She went home yesterday from the hospital, there will be more surgeries but they needed to get the bones fixed first. Bill has been keeping me updated and I haven't been able to talk to Anna yet. I so understand about needing your rest when you go thru something like that so I will let you know the minute I find out anything. If you would like to send her a get well card, PLEASE email me at FourSistersInACottage@msn.com and I will give it to you. She sure could use some cheering up.

THANK YOU TO EVERYONE for your THOUGHTFULNESS, PRAYERS and ENCOURAGEMENT!!!! You mean the world to me!!!!
Love and Hugs, Amy
