Thanksgiving
What a day we have had here at the Morrow home.
It was a great day.
John, Jenny, Amber, Jessica, Michael, Daniel who is Amber's friend, Larry Sr., Kristi, Bruce, Justin, Hannah, Harrison and myself were all here.
14 in all. It was a day filled with laughter.
We had turkey, dressing, Mashed potatoes with gravy, green beans, corn on the cob, Veg-Al casserole, sweet potato casserole, Crock-pot macaroni and cheese, yeast rolls and all kinds of drinks.
Then a table with a wonderful cake that Larry had ordered from Amy, pumpkin pies, chocolate pie, pumpkin cheese pie, apple pie, blueberry cheese cake, cherry cheese cake and banana pudding.
Now folks can you think of anything that we did not have????
It was wonderful and to top the day off we are watching the new movie called, Old Fashioned Thanksgiving.
My Kristi is soooooooooooo tired. How hard she has worked today.
The food is still out and we are just being lazy.
Today has been a day of total rest for me. Kristi made me a wonderful bed in her and Bruce's room and that is where I spent most of the day. It is the most rest I have had since I have come home from the hospital.
I would like to go home tomorrow evening and stay until Sunday night if possible.
God has been so good to me. I have so much to thank Him for. He has just showered me with blessing after blessing.
He has shown mercy when mercy was not deserved. He has given me grace when grace was not merited. He has given me so much love there are no words to express to him and Thank you just is not enough. How I love him.
Thank you for all of your prayers and please continue to pray for me. I don't want to do anything that will cause me to have a set back.
Love to all of you,
Nanny

God is so good!!
Hello to all out in blogger land,
This is Monday morning and I am on the road to recovery.
The Morrow family is really taking good care of me and I am enjoying it very much.
They are such a loving family. The children are really loveable to each other. Now they have their time of not agreeing but all in all they really love each other.
They are now having school and it is a pleasure to see how they work together at the dining room table.
Harrison is now doing his math and Mom is showing him some things plus she is also doing laundry, cleaned out the fridge and cleaning the kitchen. She work's all the time. I get tired just watching her. :} :}
Bruce is sick with a head cold and was not able to go to work last night and he is really bad today. Please pray that he will get over this soon. Kristi is pumping him full of vitamim C. She really pushes that vitamim and I truly believe that it works.
Mrs. Janet sent home Sunday dinner for us Saturday night and it was wonderful yesterday.
Thank you Mrs. Janet for all of your kindness.
Larry should be home in just a little bit from dialysis. I pray that all went well for him this morning.
He told me yesterday that he was very lonely at the house by himself. I truly pray that it won't be to much longer before I can get home to be there with him. Dolly is a wonderful friend to have but I am the better friend. :} "}.
Thank all of you for your prayers and please continue to pray for a speddy recovery. So far so good.
God Is Good All The Time.
Laurel, thank you so much for my beautiful card. What a sweet thought to draw me the Tea Pot. I love it.
I am looking forward to seeing you and Ben when I get back to church.
Love to all,

Finally Home
Hello to all my wonderful friends,
I am now at Bruce and Kristi's home and resting well.
We got here about 3:00 or so and Hannah had her room all ready for her grandmother.
She had clean sheets and I have 4 pillows that I brought from home so I am set.
Kristi had a most wonderful dinner tonight. She is keeping me on my new eating habbits. In other words, I am on a STRICKED diet.
Now what I had tonight I could eat that way all the time.
She had oven baked chicken without the skin, potatoes, green beans cooked without bacon grease and fruit cocktail and a wondrful glass of cold ice water. Boy was I full when I finished. It was wonderful.
I had the most wonderful nights rest last night. The first time in almost
2 full weeks. When I woke up it was 4 am and I was so rested. They helped me to the bathroom and gave me my pain pills and then I went back to sleep until 6:30.
The doctor came in and looked me over and then told me I could go home. What a wonderful blessing that was to hear.
When Kristi picked me up we stopped by Rite Aid and dropped off my perscriptions and then she drove me over to the house to pick up a few things. Of course I did not get out of the car but my sweet little Dolly came out to kiss her mommy. She is such a sweet little dog.
Larry came over and had dinner with us tonight. It was so good just sitting down at the table together as a family and have prayer together and eat as a family.
I would like to take this time to thank all of you for your wonderful prayers for me before the surgery, during the surgery and since the surgery. God has heard all your prayers.
I love each and every one of you and pray that God will watch over each of you.
I count the days until the next time we can meet together as God's children.
Continue to pray for me and for Kristi's family as they help me get back on my feet.
Pray for Larry as he is a lonely little man without his wife at this time.
Of course he can come over anytime he want's to. His little girls are always happy to see their daddy and grandpa.
Love and prayers,
Nanny

Tody is the day
Good morning,
Today is my big day.
I need to be at the hospital at 10:00 sharp.
Surgery is to be at 1:00. I am praying that if it is the Lord's will that they will come for me EARLY so that I am not just laying around thinking about it.
I will be driving over to Kristi's and she will continue on to the hospital with me.
I love having her around always but especially in times like these. She is a precious daughter and I love her dearly.
Carris Grigg a man in our church gave me a track yesterday morning titled, "Guidelines for a Successful Surgery." Boy was it good. It gave me scriptures from God's word. Scriptures for, Before Surgery, During Surgery and After Surgery. Now I have read these verses over and over and over again and I understand them so very much. But I must say that they have even become more dear to my heart today.

But I must say that they have even become more dear to my heart today.
Before Surgery:
Isaiah 41:10
Fear thou not; for I am with thee; be not dismayed; for I am thy God; I will strengthen thee; yea, I will help thee; yea, I will uphold thee with the right hand of my righteousness.
Psalms 27:14
Wait on the LORD; be of good courage, and he shall strengthen thine heart; wait, I say on the LORD
During Surgery:
Philippians 4:6 & 7
Be careful for nothing; but in every thing by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God, and the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.
After Surgery:
Hebrews 13:5
Let your conversation be without covetousness; and be content with such things as yea have; for he hath said, I will never leave thee, nor forsake thee.
Isaiah 40:31
But they that wait upon the LORD shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary, and they shall walk, and not faint.
Psalms 28:7
The LORD is my strength and my shield; my heart trusted in
him, and I am helped; therefore my heart greatly rejoiceth ; and with my song will I praise him.
Psalms 4:8
In God have I put my trust; I will not be afraid what man can do unto me.
Psalms 56:3
What time I am afraid, I will trust in thee.
Psalms 28:6
Blessed be the LORD, because he hath heard the voice of my supplications.
Well, that is all I have time for now. I must go and get a shower and wash my hair. I also want to run the sweeper and make my bed.
Come on girls you know how it is when you leave home for a few days. You want it to look nice for when you come back or someone drops in. :} :}
I love all of you and keep us in your prayers.
Love to all,
Nanny

What a day
Hello there,
What a day that Larry and I had today.
It began when Dolly came and jumped on the bed at 3:30 am this morning and wanted to go out.
Well I took her out and came back in and went back to sleep after about an hour.
Larry had to get up at 4:45 to go to dialysis.
Then I got up at 8 to get ready to go to the hospital.
Larry got here about 10:15 and got dressed and we left about 20 till 11. I had to be there at 11 so it was a very close call.
My dear sweet husband who had dialysis this morning took me to the hospital and pushed me in the wheel chair all over the hospital.
First I had to sign in. After signing in he whelled me to the lab where they took 5 viles of blood. Then they had to have a urine spec., then he wheeled me to have an EKG then on for a chest xray then back to the Lab to meet with the Joint Academy nurse Sherry who will be the one taking care of me after the surgery and then I finally met with Dr. Hansman who told me everything looked OK.
Now I ask him if I could have a spinal block and he said yes. Then I ask him if I would be alseep when they did the cutting and he said, do you want to be asleep and I said yes then he told me I could not have the spinal. Boy was I sad. I really did not want to wake up in all that pain but I guess I will.
Now all this was done with a lot of waiting in between and we were so tied when we finally got out of there and got home about 3:30 or 4:00. I could not but help thank the Lord for my home. There is no place like home.
Things are set for Nov. 3rd. which I think all of you know. The time should be at 1:00 unless there is a cancelation which I hope there will be.
Continue to pray for me. I am starting to get the willies in my tummy.
Love to all,
Nanny
I know that God is already there and will take care of me. I just can't stand what I will wake up to.

43 years
What a wonderful day today was.Tomorrow Larry and I will be married 43 years.
He has to have dialysis at 6 and I need to be at the hospital at 11 for test before I go into the hospital for my hip surgery so we celebrated today.
We were in no hurry this morning so we had a very relaxing morning. At 12 noon we left for Cracker Barrell for a wonderful lunch. After lunch we went to Sam's club and did a little window shopping. After that we saw a sign that Gas was 2.60 a gallon so we filled up the truck. When we got home we exchanged gifts and cards with each other. It was really a good day for the both of us. Just being together and realxing.
Dolly got the left overs from lunch. She was really a happy little girl doggie.
We both have done nothing today and we are both tired. Can you believe that.
Well, 43 years ago we said "I DO." Now I will be honest and tell you we have had our good days and our bad days but I still love this guy of mine and would do it all over again.
It was a very romantic wedding. "WE ELOPED."
We ended up in Vinton Virginia. We hid from my Mom and Dad because we thought they would kill both of us. But my dad was happy for me an Larry and after a couple of days my Mom came around.
We moved to Ohio after about a year and bought our first home in Lorain.
We have had 3 wonderful children and 5 beautiful grand children.
God Is Good All The Time!!!
We were not saved at the time of our marriage and if it had not been for the Lord it would not have lasted. WHY???? Because we were sinners. After about 5 years of marriage we both were saved and God has brought us through a lot. Some things that without God we would never have made it.
He is a wonderful father, grand father, Sunday Shcool teacher, teacher of music, a good provider and has been a very faithful husband.
I love him and just want to say, Thank you for your love, your support and faithfulness to me for these 43 years.
I love you dearly.
Hope all of you out there will have a wonderful 40 years or longer together and with the Lord on your side you will.
Nanny
