Here's a quick update on a few items...
* It seems green is the favoured colour in the tractor poll...however, no final decision has yet been made, so you can keep sending in your ballots!
* I've had some questions regarding my sister-in-law, Martha, so I thought I'd pass along what little I know. She is still undergoing tests in Vancouver, and will have the results of a CT scan today. There is a tumour in a very sensitive area of the brain...and how it will be treated still needs to be determined. So please continue to pray for Martha, and her family as they face this challenge...she so appreciates all the prayers on her behalf.
* Kris and Lisa are meeting with specialists at B.C. Women's Hospital again today to monitor the progress of their unborn little girl who has a genetic disorder called trisomy 13. We so are so thankful for all who have rallied around to support them at this difficult time. They are living one day at a time right now. I have Ranen for the day...she can light up any room with her smile!
* Kathy arrived safely aboard West Jet in the middle of a windstorm...and we'll see what we can all pack into the next week!
Yummy, another delicious recipe to try out! It is so colorful and pretty too.

Such a 'heart warming' meal! Thank you for the recipe.
ReplyDeleteAlso thanks for the update on your family..will keep praying, we know how powerful prayer is!
And by the way I'm still cheering on in the orange section..please win!! lol
That just kept looking better and better. By the time that it got to the cheese and sour cream, I was pretty certain that I'd have to give it a try.
ReplyDeleteLet Martha know that she's on my ongoing prayer list. Such stressful times even when we know whose hand we hold.
Glad that your niece and sister are home. Let the good family times roll.
Thanks for keeping us posted with your family.
ReplyDeleteWhen I walk I love to think about those things.
Have a wonderful time and we'll catch up again. Hope you go with green.
Hey, Judy - thanks for stopping by- I'll have to try this recipe you posted - I'm doing lots of soups and stews, too. It's very similar to Tortilla Soup that I make here in Texas, only I throw in some epazote, poblano peppers, and slices of avocado before serving. Sounds great! What time are you having dinner?
