Hope you all enjoyed this post.
I included a lot of presidents quotes,
from all political parties.
We must honor and respect each and every
president the people elect...
otherwise what is a Democracy.
I fear this dear country of mine
is heading towards Communism.
My favorite quote was from Grover Cleveland,
who was a Democrat.
We should all heed his advise.
Also to paraphrase Mark 3:25
A house divided will always fail."
In other news,
early Sunday morning my mom
had an episode.
Her vitals went extremely high once again.
Since then they have not been able
to manage to keep them down
without adding medicine into her IV.
They did 3 tests to see if they found the issue...
but all came back negative.
She would not eat breakfast or lunch yesterday.
Day and night she just sleeps,
which is not a good thing.
A cardiac doctor has been called in now.
She apparently has plaque build up
on her aortic valve...and they will not do surgery.
They did an EKG and waiting on
the results of this test now.
We are getting very concerned she will not make it.
Bob and I are headed out soon
to get me some new tires for my car.
Will go see my mom afterwards.
God Bless America Blessings To All!
Janice
I loved every picture and enjoyed every quote!
ReplyDeleteCould it be that your mother's mind and body are ready to go? As much as I miss my mother, I know it was true for her as she was in pain that even the pain meds worked no longer, had other health issues and missed my step-father. My heart goes out to you and family.
I would enjoy sitting down and talking about this country of ours with you, I agree 100% with your thoughts. I am praying for it to turn around... but golly, I just do not know.
ReplyDeleteI am praying for your mom and family.
I enjoyed each quote and photo.
I appreciated all these quotes and fear for our country as you do.
ReplyDeleteI'm sorry about your mom. Have they brought up hospice? They were a huge blessing for my Dad and he lived a year after being admitted to their services.
I like those quotes - those were the days. I am worried about our country as well. Wake up America. I am glad you are spending time with your mom while she is here.
ReplyDeleteLove your patriotic displays and the quotes. I agree, the state of our country and which way it is heading is of great concern. Prayers for your mom and all that she is going through.
ReplyDeleteEnjoyed all you pictures and quotes.
ReplyDeleteSo sorry about your mom.
Great quotes! I also love the Ronald Reagan quote, "trust but verify". Your patriotic decorating is perfection. God bless America. Like you, I fear we are heading towards socialism and eventually communism. Those thinking it is a great idea need to look at other countries who have tried it. It NEVER works.
ReplyDeletePrayers for your mom!!! It is so hard, but thankfully they are looking for answers.
I loved your choices of quotes thank you so much for sharing hugs
ReplyDeleteprayers for your Mom and family
DeleteEnjoyed this post, Janice with the quotes and photos of your patriotic decor. Yeah our country seems to be moving into the wrong direction. I still believe, we have a remnant of patriotism that will take a stand.
ReplyDeleteSuch an inspiring post Janice - beautiful, beautiful, photos and treasures (can't go wrong with old teddies, flags, and wonderful stitches), and a great selection of thoughtful quotes. I'm sorry your mom has taken another turn for the worse and will continue to keep her in my prayers. CHF is so common in the elderly.
ReplyDeleteI loved all the quotes!
ReplyDeletePrayers for your mom, friend.
First of all, I am so concerned about your mom. I send prayers that they can remedy this. Meanwhile, hold fast.
ReplyDeleteI loved the photos and quotes. They are all well thought of and your images really set them off.
I hope things are going well for your mom, I know this is a tough time. XOX
ReplyDeleteLove, love your bears, your photos and the quotes, this is such a great post. :-)
I think very one is worried about the direction our country is taking and I agree with your observations.
Sending you grace and peace for a good weekend, Virginia
Great post, love the quotes. Just catching up on blogs, hope to see another post that they found help for your mom's condition.
ReplyDeletebeautiful photos - love the quotes. Praying for you and your mom.
