I loved Chelsea’s place where mommy lived the last two years  on every door  there was the photo of them in there younger years and shared what there ten face facts about them growing up !!!   It was great way to get to know all the residents and ways how to talk to them !!”  Mommy would always get jelous of me talking with her other friends I always made sure I made her feel important first !!!    Mom would always tell me shhhh Carrie don’t get involved !!! πŸ˜ƒπŸ€·‍♀️🀣🀣🀣      Now I know why she says that she wanted me all to herself !   I don’t blame her for that made me giggle 🀭 when I think of it now !    I told mommy  you told me to help others when I see them struggle !   She says to me  “ I did say that !!”  I say yes mommy you teach  me well !!! 


I got to know everyone there  we were all one family 

The staff loved mommy so much  I really could tell that several people truly love there jobs  as a caregiver!” 

One day the staff had a meeting  and I was there I asked the manager if I can thank all of them for what hard work they do and we do notice  there true love for our love once’s !!!   πŸ’πŸ’  


I started making quilts for all the residents in Mommys side where she lived !   I had two other quilters out of state friends who wanted to join in voluntarily  make quilts they would mail them too me and Hubby and I walked them in passed them out to each residents !!!   It was a beautiful 🀩 experience !”     Got pics with each resident with the quilts “   

Family’s were moved that we did this “ God was leading me to do this huge tasks and we did the year 2023 

I wanted to honor mommy she is the one who raised me by herself  and taught me how to Quilt !  When I was so sick I was born with heart disease 🦠 and had to be on disability!”   

That was the hardest when I loved teaching preschooler’s.  I loved working full time so months passed and mommy says let’s try quilting !!”

Pork tenderloin in the slowcooker !

I made this meal up a few days ago !  It’s so delicious 🀀     








So I saved our left overs and hubby cut it up for me we freaze it for another meal !! 🍽️  




 Diabetics can benefit from pork loin tenderloin, which provides high-quality protein and essential nutrients while maintaining a relatively low saturated fat content. I employed my slow cooker and started the cooking process by cleaning the meat. 


Next, I cooked it in a pan on all sides with extra virgin olive oil, accompanied by diced onions πŸ§… and mushrooms!!. The smell was incredible!!. I completed it with a garnish of cilintro on top and a side of green beans. I cooked it on high for 4 hours today!

My heart Lung 🫁 journey !!!


 

March 18  /25 



Today was a huge blessing for me I made it to Appria on time for my appointment to be evaluated. And I passed. My oxygen was 93 @ leader 2!  So Inssurance was able to cover this I get to keep the bottles tanks for back up !    Thank You a God for always going ahead of me !”    



This has been my fave scripture this year !” 






        Yesterday I was on the phone for hour with Bluecross I prayed before I called  a sweet lady worked with me and called Appria in 3 way and we got approved!!! I was able to come in today for evaluation!   I did very well !    Thank you Jesus  ! I asked if we get to keep the bottles for back up she says yes but not as many !” Which I told her that’s okay “ πŸ‘   This year Gods teaching me to pray before I make business calls  and it goes so smoothly He gave me a nice lady to talk talk too and answers all my questions!”  πŸ’–πŸ’–πŸ’–

God wants us to give him all our concerns and health issues over in his hands πŸ™Œ  why you may ask he knows us better then we do he created you & me !   Psalms 139   God knows every detail in our own bodies !  

 Now that’s something we can give him praise and worship about !!!     

I have had a portable before my sweet uncle needed one so I shared and stayed with the bottles for 6 years ! Now that I have a bad left shoulder and arm I’m still able to Cary it on my good arm !!   That’s how light it is πŸ™ŒπŸ’–  

My hubby was relieved we can keep both for back up because if it’s too hot the motor does burn out “
