I'm sure I've told you all before, but I adore Autumn! It is simply my favorite time of year!! Yet sadly, it is over too soon and in comes all too eager Old-Man Winter! In efforts to try and see the bright side to things... I thought I'd share with you my favorite way to enjoy Winter - through pictures! haha! I usually joke that I only like snow on Christmas Day and then I'm ready for some warmth!  Isn't this horse a beauty?  I'd take London any day - Summer or Winter!  This little Village looks inviting!  Being a Kitty-Lover - I couldn't resist not sharing this picture my darling kitty, Gilbert!!!  Ahhh!!!

Today, Pauline, Donna's Mom and Miss Spenser's Grandma, starts her chemotherapy. The chemo is for prevention...all the lymph nodes were clear - Praise God...but we are still sad for her to have to go through this next journey. She cried when she learned she will lose her hair...why does chemo have to take so much away from us??  So hard...makes us sad. But...she is a fighter, a strong woman, one we so admire and we know she will be a trooper as she goes through this. We wanted to let you know, that we are standing behind all of you who are fighters and survivors...holding you up in our thoughts and prayers today.  "...Be Strong, and Courageous. Do not be terrified;  do not be discouraged, for the Lord your God,  will be with you wherever you go."  ~ Joshua 1:9  God Bless You All!
