Chiari Son
There’s nothing new to report about Andy’s condition. He has good days and bad days. When he’s feeling well enough he goes on the road with his dad who drives an 18 wheeler. He wears a foam pillow around his neck to keep it steady. When he’s tired he lies down in the truck. Someone has to ride with his dad because of his heart. and keep him awake.. So Andy’s brother David rides with him when Andy can’t . Both sons are mechanics and keep the truck going if they have a problem on the road, unless it’s something big. Oh I can report something happy. Andy has a new grandson. His name is CASPER CLOUD C. he was an 8 lb. 5 or 6 oz. His big sister’s name is JADE SKYE C.
Well tonight I figured it was about time for some soul food, so I got cabbage from my sister, I cooked great northern beans, boiled potatoes in the jacket and baked crusty cornbread, had little green onions to boot. I don’t know how yall cook cabbage, but I add sugar and apple cider vinegar, w/o measuring , also Extra Virgin Olive Oil. Speaking of olive oil. It’s about time for my homemade tea cakes, which I use olive oil and I add my own stuff, raisin, coconut, cranberries,blueberries, cherries, oatmeal. I may even put prunes in this time. I’d cut them small. I’ll let yall know how they turn out. My friends, thank you all for visiting as I appreciate all of you. And I do appreciate your prayers for my son.

Hi Sidney~
First of all congrats on the new grandbaby…I LOVE the name! Your soul food sounds great, sounds like something I would cook, but don\’t use sugar or cider vinegar, I\’ve found that my family loves cabbage and hamburger cooked together and baked in homemade bread, it\’s called a kraught burger, very GOOD! Your tea cakes sound delicious, love all the fruit you will add to it.
Healing thoughts sent to your son. I hope you have a good week~ Sunee:)

Hi my Friend:
I am sorry this is going to be a generic message, ie, everyone gets the same message. I just don\’t have the time to do each one individually at the moment as I am getting ready for a trip out east to Nova Scotia to see my Dad for his 88th birthday. And before I go I am trying to get caught up in laundry, touching up fall clothes and house cleaning, plus trying to pack in there too.
I was going to take Sunday afternoon and do this but hubby decided different. While out for our usual Sunday breakfast, what we thought was just heartburn turned out to be an Angina attack so we spent all afternoon at the hospital. All is well at the moment and he has to follow up with an appointment with his heart doctor. I have a nurse coming twice a week and changing his dressing for another medical problem so he will be in good care until I get back. I will be gone for almost two weeks.
I hope you have a great day and rest of the week.
Take care and God bless…………..Rusty ((HUGS))

Congratulations G-ma and to Andy. I offer up a large shout of praise and thanksgiving for a healthy little peanut! Something about family that just makes me smile inside and out. I know you will enjoy that little wee one, who will no doubt grow to discover the wonderful cook that G-ma is. I didn\’t realize your hubby drove a rig. When I was 20 I drove across the USA hauling produce in a Kenworth (cabover). That seems so very long ago. Driving truck for a living is not easy. By appearance it may seem as such, but I know just how hard it is and how hard it is on the human body. Takes a rock of a person to endure it for any great length of time. Sidney, I hope you are doing well and enjoying that new addition to your family. I am happy for you! You take G-ma.
Hugs from a sista,
Kim
