~JUST TO LET YOU KNOW~

I had a completely different POST for you all today.  Something fun and inspirational that centers around CHRISTMAS in JULY!  I'll save it for tomorrow or Friday when I'm thinking a bit clearer.  I hope you'll return then or visit my website in the next couple of days for more information...

I woke up early this morning to the news that my older sister has been in a serious accident involving her car.  She is expected to fully recover, although at present she is pretty banged up, stitches, contusions, etc. Her car ended up in a ravine and she ended up in the middle of the street.  This is the same sister I visited in Tennessee last April and the one whose young hubby suffered a stroke last summer.

This family has experienced so much trauma over the past twelve months that it makes my head spin.  Thank you in advance for your prayers for my sister and her family.

Love to you~
