Night Watch

My good friend, Brenda, made this original healing doll for me several years ago.  There is no other like it on this planet or any other!  We named her Shannon :)  Now, let the record state that NO PICTURE could ever do Shannon justice, but I also must note that all of the pictures I've been posting have been taken with my cell phone, thus the poor quality.  Not up to getting out the "real deal" and all the downloading and editing (yet).  In any event, isn't Shannon simply stunning?!  I love her, and FYI - Bren - she's doing a FAB job!  :-)


I cannot believe it's been A FULL WEEK since my surgery!  If time keeps flyin like this, I won't be able to keep up with it!  Looking back, I'm thinking......I made it through alot of "unknowns" this past week.  Things that were kinda starting to freak me out.  Always sure to make us panic, eh?  The BIG BAD UNKNOWN.

I have so many things to be grateful for ALWAYS, but especially this past week.  How about I just blurt some randomness?!  :)
