Chair Seat Recovering Success.

Before fabric.

Usually I am totally unhappy with the

results of DIY projects of this type.

However, God was with me today

as I enlisted the help of my fellow

comrades and we recovered the chair

seat covers for the awesome table that

will be my "desk" in my new office

in our brand spankin' new house!!!

After fabric.

I love, love, love this fabric and have

been waiting for Joanne's to list it at

50% off. Yesterday was the day. I

flew over to the fabric store immediately

and purchased 1 1/2 yards of this baby.

I also had to make an early morning run

to Home Depot for a $2.79 box of staples

for our electric stapler.

I so love how the chair seats turned

out! I am excited to be working on

my dissertation at my new desk with

my new chair seat covers in front of

the new window in our new house!!!

33 days and counting!!!

Happy Good Friday!!

It's Friday, but Sunday is coming!!

We welcomed Good Friday with

the arrival of these be-a-uuuutiful

tulips from Grandy and Bobby!!

We are so grateful for the cross

and what the resurrection means

to all of us.

He rolled away the stone!!!!!

Let the Treatments Begin.

After praying all night about Dr. L's

protocol, I was a wee bit worried that we

would not be able to remember all that

he had told us and be able to do

everything ourselves. We were all so

excited to help our Dad and dove in

head first. The boys were amazingly

awesome and helped in every way

possible. God was faithful and helped

us with all of the steps. WE DID IT!!

We are confident in these methods

and thankful for Bobby's determination

to find a cure for Mike's cancer. We

will be heading back to Sacramento in

several weeks so that Dr. L. can make

certain that we are performing all of the

steps correctly and that Mike is progressing.

We are also excited about the ionic foot

baths and are praying that we can

purchase one of the machines as Mike

needs this for part of his treatment plan.

Our New Hero.

We have been praying, reading, and searching

much about natural cancer remedies. This is

an area that is highly controversial and a

personal decision. Mike and I drove to

Sac-Town today and were so excited that

we were able to meet the "famous"

Dr. Lubecki. He is a man of God and a

man who has a commitment and passion

for healing the whole body of those who are

sick and afflicted. Our appointment at his

clinic lasted FIVE hours!!

Dr. Lubecki has written many books

including: "END of Cancer", "Let's

Put an End to Cancer", and "Conquering

Disease". He has been in practice for

over FORTY years and is truly a wonderful

80+ year old man. Mike and I both

immediately fell in love with him and

knew that we were in the right spot

when, after a lengthy discussion regarding

Mike's cancer, he replied with "Is that all . ."

Teary eyed, Mike and I could not believe

the rest of our appointment and how

Dr. Lubecki firmly believes that, if we

follow his directions to the letter, we

will have complete victory in this battle

we are facing.

The boys and I have our marching orders.

The protocol that we must follow each

day must be followed exactly as he has

instructed us and without fail. Mike also

must stick to the strict diet regimen that

he has been following for the past four

weeks. As we pray our way through every

moment of this new regime, we are

refreshed, invigorated, and excited that

we are approaching the healing of

Mike's cancer in a positive manner!

Have you EVER had an ionic foot bath?

Ask Mike all about it . . . WOW!

McQueen Tourney.

Today boasted 68* weather, a wee

bit windy . . . almost perfect for the

third golf tournament of the boys'

golf season, held at Somersett.

Sam played great! Like all good golfers,

had a few "rough" holes, but overall

did a great job. We were excited to watch

the boys play and to have a strong finish.

The course is still in pretty rough shape

after the cold winter months, but in a couple

of months will be green and ready for action.

Somersett is the hardest course that the

boys' golf team plays during the season.

It is hilly and boasts long holes. The crews

were tired as they approached the 18th

hole!

My two companions and I had fun

while we were waiting for the guys

to tally up their scores. Actually, we

were debating just what we would

have for a little snack on our way home.

Two of my very favorite peeps!

. . . the guys verifying their scores.

As much as golf is an individual sport, we

enjoy watching the teams compete. Sam

has great team spirit and supports all of

the brand new golfers on the team this

year. We are a wee bit sad that Sam will

not play for McQueen during his senior

year. Next year, Sam will be a Desert Oasis

Diamondback. Truly it is a blessing as he

will be playing for the executive director

of Pahrump Valley Junior Golf Association.

He is excited that Sam will be playing

for their team next year. Their home

course is Highland Falls in Summerlin.

Sam's sidekick, Luke, is excited to play

golf for the middle school next year.

Feather Quilt Project.

So, after I waking up for the bazillionth day with

feathers in my mouth, I was determined that

today would be the day that I would deal

with our favoritist feather quilt that Mike's

Mom gave us so many years ago. During the

years I have resewn and patched the heck

out of our old reliable feather quilt, but

today, I had to roll up my sleeves and

put a new front and back over on our dear

old friend. Rain or shine, I cannot sleep

without our feather quilt. It is too hot for

all of the other members of my family to

sleep with, but for me, I must have it

every.single.night.

I think that this baby should be good

to go for another SIXTY plus years!!

Chores!

In preparation for our exciting move,

today mushroomed into chores,

chores, chores:

*cleaning all of the white tile

and white grout

*scrubbing walls

*scrubbing ceilings

*shopvacing all of the ceiling fans

*cleaning out the pantry

*cleaning out the fridge

*scrubbing the railings

*packing, packing, packing

*dusting, dusting, dusting

*tossing, tossing, tossing

*cleaning up the backyard

Of course, my crew was amazing

to help me until the wee hours . . .

The excitement continues and we

are excited as we pack our boxes!!!

Luke is taking a much needed

relaxing bubble bath as we speak!

I am right behind him!!!!!!
