Happy Heavenly 92nd Birthday, Mom!

My Mom, Jeanne Jones, was a very vibrant person.  She loved socializing with her friends and family

I am very glad that we were able to celebrate her 85th birthday with an open house in our church’s basement.

Several of our family’s friends helped with the open house by serving refreshments and helping me with the decorations.

I had a lot of fun decorating the food table using various pedestals for height.  The peach carrier was actually one of the first carriers my Mom bought for me when I first started my herb business.  It worked great as a way to keep the utensils and napkins organized.

We served her favorite banana punch!

angel vine centerpiece with battery candles

Angel vine with rustic daisy accents made a pretty fall centerpiece.  The taper candles were battery operated.  The terra cotta pot fit perfectly in the wrought iron stand. The tables were decorated with burlap runners with a lace overlay.  The tables for the quests had small angel vine plants accented with a rustic daisy.

The party isn’t complete without at least one fresh flower arrangement!

My Mom had a number of health issues.  She really wanted to live to the age of 86 but unfortunately, she didn’t meet that goal.  She fought very hard.  I miss her very much.

I don’t talk about my faith a lot. I do believe I don’t talk about my faith a lot.  I do believe God puts certain people in your path for a reason.  An example of this occurred on Tuesday.  It was colonoscopy/sigmoidoscopy day.  I was really nervous about how it would all work since it was my first time since I had my cancer surgery. 

 The nurse that was taking care of me in the pre op area turned out to be the same nurse who had prayed for me last year. My husband was in the parking lot of the medical center speaking with his friend who happened to work at the center with this particular nurse. I was very sick at the time and they prayed for my healing.  It was great to be able to thank her in person and let her see that the prayers had been answered. ❤️

Then the anesthesiologist came in and told me about his cousin who had also been diagnosed with Stage 4 colon cancer about a year ago. He mentioned some of the treatments his cousin had had and how important a positive attitude is.  I was touched that he took the time to tell me about his cousin’s experience. 

 We had arranged in advance to have my husband’s friend as the nurse anesthesist.  He was able to pray with us as well as reassure us about the procedure.

The procedure went well. The three polyps that the surgeon removed were sent to pathology.  The report is already back and there no evidence of cancer.  Prayers were answered again❤️
