Hello friends! It is so nice to be back home again. I was gone for a week to MO to see my mother; who was very ill. She was in kidney failure, bleeding internally with severe anemia, low blood pressure, ventricular fibrillation (fast heart rate) and severe wound on one leg. She chose to go back to the same nursing home; where she incurred all the problems. She fell on Saturday and tore off the skin on her other leg; so now she is in severe pain. I would appreciate continued prayer for Helen.
I spent a week of constant running back and forth to the hospital. I didn't realize how tiring it would be; until I got home. I guess I just kept pushing myself forward on the excess adrenaline; and crashed when I got home. The weather was cool and rainy at times. I am back in Southern CA and it has been super hot, in the 90's. I am still having trouble sleeping since I got home.
It is time for another fabulous Art By Miran Anything Goes Facebook challenge; with the option of Music. I used the new Art by Miran Whimsy Rubber Stamp "Murali". I just love this sweet image; especially those awesome butterflies.
