And no, I’m not even talking about up in the panhandle, where they compete with the weather in Bismark in the winter.
Remember this? Last summer, my aunt’s house up in Burleson, Texas, close to Ft Worth?
Here is what she sent me the other day.
How’s that for cold looking? Still it IS beautiful

John went to the cardiologist today and came home with a grin on his face. They did another EKG and the guy said that he is showing improvement since the last time he was there a month ago. This made us both very happy. Especially since it seemed like he was getting worse with all the water retention he’s been having.
OH, by the way, we have, apparently, kicked the diabetes in the butt! It’s been days and John hasn’t had any insulin. I do believe his body is producing it on it’s on. YEA!
Now, if only I could figure out what to cook with no salt… I am running out of idea’s people!

Sometime before Christmas I placed an order to this wonderful place because of something I read here at Red’s. Let me tell you, when the box arrived I had no idea how wonderful it would smell! Kessa just happened to be home when I opened the package and before I could even get the camera and take a picture of the beautiful packaging she had torn through it and was in heaven in the soaps. All I ended up getting a shot of was Baby, “regifted” in the ribbon the awesome smelling bundle was wrapped up in.
And it wouldn’t be Baby without that trademark crooked smile.
Uuuh, yeah. I’m not sure what’s up with the one ear either. Makes her look a bit demonic…
Aaaannnywaaaaaay, so the wonnerful, Lynnel had me a batch of the most fabulous smelling soaps and lip balms that you can not even begin to imagine. They sat out on the table in the breakfast area for a few days and everytime John or I entered the house we were inhaling deeply of the lovely smells from that area.
You have GOT to experience this wonderful smell for yourself! Go order from this sweet lady!
Like an idiot I accidentally placed two orders on line and only intended one, so I called her and cleared that up. She was so very nice and fun to talk to. Anyway, her soaps were the best gifts a good many people got this year!
And Baby really does rock that red bow.
Well, thank you very much:)
So happy that you are pleased with our soaps.
thank you for the great picture of your puppy!
Awwwww, Baby is such a cutie. Once I get into my new (temporary) apartment, I’m going to order some stuff for JUST ME.

Congratulations on the good news about John’s health. Baby steps, baby!
I can’t wait to order some of that soap. I’m a sucker for stuff like that. And BABY?? How cute is she!

I got a red bow JUST LIKE THAT in my package from you. I didn’t put it in my hair, though.
Glad to hear there are improvements in John’s health. Here’s to the purple plates taking it the rest of the way!

That is wonderful news about John. And I know it makes for lighter weight on you. Worry is a heavy thing. Tell Baby I’ ll take that bow when she’ s done with it!

I am so excited for John and his insulin! What great news!
The dog is adorable.
Mine has the same smile… maybe they are soul sisters too!

I’m SO happy to hear that John is coming along with his health. I swear, 2010 just HAS to be put forth more effort at being nicer than 2009.
I’m bookmarking the soap site for when I have a few extra dollars and I’m going to buy myself some…. because HELLO my husband would never dream of buying me pretty smellies JUST FOR ME. I love the use of *saponified* on her site. And I super-duper love entrepreneurial women who own their own businesses.
OHMYGOD, I bought a pair of fuzzy pink “aloe infused” gloves at Kohl’s the other day and I’ve been wearing them around the house doing Jazz Hands and laughing my ever-lovin’-butt-off thinking of Henrietta. I love you for giving me that image in my head.

I think you should hook Baby up with Grandma J’s JJ…..just sayin’!!
Glad to hear that you FINALLY got some good news about John. I hope you are taking care of yourself, and that YOU are feeling better as well.
Have a good weekend!! **breaks into jazz hands**

So glad to hear all the good news from your house, Krissa. Let’s hope you stay on a good healthy roll at your house for 2010. Thanks for mentioning Lynnel again; I love supporting American independent small business owners.
Baby is such a cutie. I miss having a dog; thanks for the sweet picture.
(Ya’ll are bumming me out a little seeing all the ice in Texas where I intend to retire to get away from the ice up here!) LOL

Good news all around!!!! FABULOUS!!!! Good luck on the salt thing, I have been trying to cut Jimmy off on that on too!

Wow that is such wonderful, wonderful news. I’m so happy for you guys!
The trick to cooking without salt is not to know you’re doing it. I only very recently discovered that my boyfriend – who cooks for me a lot – uses no salt at all in his cooking, and that even the butter at his place is unsalted. I thought I hated unsalted butter!
Baby looks like such a character. I just want to kiss the top of her shiny little head!

Look at that ice! We had the same unusual freezing weather in Bournemouth… but it’s all defrosted again. Thank goodness! Nice smells, they make life better don’t they?

Nobody works a ribbon and bow like Baby!
Great news for John’s health!
And not to be too snarky (whatever!), but there is no way that the panhandle competes with Bismark when it comes to cold. Heck people from Bismark would probably be wearing shorts still.
Cool picture though.
