Great nurse at treatment!

Because of the COVID-19 virus, my husband couldn't go into the cancer treatment room with me for my 4th cycle of maintenance therapy. He dropped me off and got groceries. Then he went home. When I was on the second bag with the rituximab drug, I called him to let him know when I'd be done! All the patients and staff wore masks. I have made two masks but the one I am wearing I bought.

​I'm thankful to God that the first nurse didn't attempt to try to get a vein for IV when she couldn't find a good one. Sometimes they keep trying to get the tube into a vein, then finally give up and get another nurse. She realized that another nurse was needed. Suzanne found a vein and got it in the first attempt.

Self-Isolation Comments!

During this time of quarantine, these jokes might brighten your day! A church friend Regina shared them with me! 

Day 17 of Self-Isolation  (Feels like a 100)

You know if you keep a glass of wine in each hand you can’t accidentally touch your face.

I am starting to understand why pets try to run out of the house when the door opens.

Does anyone know if we can take showers yet or should we just keep washing our hands???

I’m so excited; it’s time to take the garbage out. I wonder what I should wear?

You think it’s bad now? In 20 years our country will be run by people home schooled by day drinkers…

Day 7 at home and the dog is looking at me like, “See? This is why I chew the furniture.”

Home schooling question: Does having your children fix you mixed cocktails count as a chemistry lesson? (Sorry, I’m new at this) 

Where’s your husband?....In the garden….I didn’t see him….  You just need to dig a little.

My Mom always told me I wouldn’t accomplish anything by laying in the bed all day, but look at me now! I’m saving the world!

Coronavirus has turned us all into dogs. We roam the house all day looking for food. We’re told “no” if we get too close to strangers.  And we get really excited about car rides.

If anyone owes you money, go to their house now. They should be home.

Homeschooling Day #3: they all graduated. #Done.

I’m giving up drinking for a month. Sorry, punctuation typo. I’m giving up. Drinking for a month.

He is Risen!

​​When our churches were closed in our area, I cried and couldn't believe this had happened. I don't remember ever missing church on Easter. I have fond memories of going to sunrise service on Easter at Powell Memorial church with my mother and sisters in my youth. For years, I enjoyed going to Easter at St. Louis with my hubby and children. After downsizing seven years ago, we have also attended St. Ann's. It's hard on our youngest daughter Amanda because she is an altar server, so hasn't been able to serve at Mass since last month. Now we watch church services on TV and have faith in our wonderful Lord that soon things will return to normal. 

I hope and pray all of you are staying well during this unusual time in our lives. 

Have a Blessed and Happy Easter.

New Review for CHRISTMAS of HOPE!

Hope everyone is staying well during this time. It's been interesting in the Craver household. Three adult daughters live with us. One daughter was planning on moving out by now, but didn't get to start her job yet with the COVID-19. Other two attend an adult camp and it is closed. I also have a retired husband who can't go to his activities that he enjoys. It's hard to write with so much going on here. I'm going to start getting up earlier in the morning and writing. 

Here is a new review for my Christmas of Hope: book 

Sweet story and a quick read. This is the fourth book in The Bishops Daughter series. This series would probably be better read in order. Most of the characters were probably introduced in previous books. I could still follow what was going on but I felt like I missed the flow of the book. It was still a good story.
