I have been MIA. I hope y’all remember me. Some of you may remember back when I posted about my father in law and his dealing with Alzheimer’s. That horrible disease. :( Here is my previous post. </span><a href="http://mybellarose.blogspot.com/2010/12/i-need.html" title="http://mybellarose.blogspot.com/2010/12/i-need.html"><span style="font-size: small;">http://mybellarose.blogspot.com/2010/12/i-need.html</span></a><span style="font-size: small;"> and here is another previous that I mentioned my father in law and this terrible disease. </span><a href="http://mybellarose.blogspot.com/2010/12/i-need.html" title="http://mybellarose.blogspot.com/2010/12/i-need.html"><span style="font-size: small;">http://mybellarose.blogspot.com/2010/12/i-need.html</span></a></div><div align="center"><span style="font-size: small;">I am sad to say that he passed on April 19th, 2011. April 19th was during Holy Week. Someone told us that he must have been so holy himself to have passed during holy week. I have no doubt in my mind that this is true. He was a man of God who loved the Lord with all his heart. He was devoted to the church and to Eucharistic Adoration every Thursday evening for years and years. </span></div><div align="center"><span style="font-size: small;">On Easter Sunday, we attended Mass with our Mother in law and then went to have breakfast. You see, we viewed my father in law for the first time on Easter. The kids all understood that this year there would be no dying eggs or an Easter egg hunting. We would spend our Easter at the funeral home. And I am so proud to say that everyone of the children in our family behaved properly. I am beyond proud of them all. </span></div><div align="center"><span style="font-size: small;">Even though we were all expecting this, it is still hard. We all took it very hard. I was honored to make a slide show of his life. My husband and I cried and cried every time I played the slide show for review. Then we cried again at the funeral home when everyone watched it too. I also had the honor of writing out his obituary. I prayed that the Lord guide me in my words as I began to write it out and that HE did. HE really did guide me. </span></div><div align="center"><span style="font-size: small;">He is with our Heavenly Father now. </span></div><div align="center"><span style="font-size: small;">May you RIP Mr. Paz.</span></div><div align="center"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgl3yi9mC4AafmUhl16pgKmbZa22N503MnqYy10E2nIgLdei-UeB0sHVWT-3_pHCxj_o6YdcMyhUD5kp2bEby0sjLJN6moSrC5srsGkZEtMJmA3Fa-qgIOdtIXq4OpVc4kh26LsAzRqx0dw/s1600-h/815.jpg"><span style="font-size: small;"></span></a><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgQTeci8-u6mqwQX7oxUTEaxoToo1E6pbRxWclqbRphNI4WTQLmMCiSiJYDdZo14o1XmhIMkpJq7IdEIp72Bl7O9lhFlxnR37g4TAKXHJByd1GV-BntSXkrfT-gVSa5ROmG8OiZcZFoW2_m/s1600-h/819.jpg"><img alt="81" height="267" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhl2nKMmMLWvbmPKRb_uuZ0R5q-rp8q4SitZvC7AhXoVh0B_9mi99DfH90uwgohONORIQP3sEU4oG4ZHMF45P6cabDaNDB1hilOWdwd1opoUzSXHfSSU6JeQPLjqEfrJtiCC9vfXAyJWLqj/?imgmax=800" style="display: block; float: none; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;" title="81" width="400" /></a></div><div align="center"><span style="font-size: small;">I hope everyone is doing good.

First of all, I’d like to thank those of you that responded to my previous post. I thank you from the bottom of my heart. Like my mother in law says, we are taking it day by day. We all agree that God has the last word on when our lives end. The dr gave a prognosis but we know that the prognosis that counts is God’s. So we are just going to be there for mama (mother in law) and love a lot to both of them. Pops (father in law) may not know who we are, but I’m sure he can feel that we love him. So with that said…..I want to share my mantle. Oh my goodness! I worked on this on a weekend nonstop! </div><div align="center">This year I added the color chartreuse to my red and gold theme. Chartreuse seems to be very popular! I love it!</div><div align="center"><br />

Please keep my mother in law and all of us in your prayers.    I hadn’t even decorated for Christmas until this past weekend.  My sweet mother in law told me that I should decorate.   I also told her that she should put her Christmas tree up at least (with our help) because their grandkids also look forward to seeing her tree up.   Hopefully she will change her mind.  If not, it’s ok.  Here is a picture I’d like to share with y’all.  It is of him and some of his grandkids and a couple of grandkids at heart.   </font></p> <p align="center"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj4uVVryc3h8doISrUq4vXiDZ4OkXkGbv8oRaIFsVZlNLnb2tLS_vDt6sbrK69nWsRfqc-3vLNpOsCPIJyimOpJ9YdTOVkfBa1y_N5Vq-8rLnvy4zdYPnUdRWBT4JA6ubCPJtxr0WzEiCVG/s1600-h/22054_318479781973_679571973_4681960%5B1%5D.jpg"><font size="3"></font><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEilafACIAGbz1YI7CrP9PmZ5V_CzPr_5u224Og2rNhhbkmFsDyabnfEfBrK2zsxagEMya-qkZUODi0XX7XJQtzec84DZTqGc-cITmnT4kIF789BYl_4zrRRSI-8O1aHNZm9sTpIGLlw-oih/s1600-h/22054_318479781973_679571973_4681960.jpg"><img style="border-right-width: 0px; display: block; float: none; border-top-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; margin-left: auto; border-left-width: 0px; margin-right: auto" title="22054_318479781973_679571973_4681960_3012733_n" border="0" alt="22054_318479781973_679571973_4681960_3012733_n" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiqugg_7O0Q46wcN-3YlrFgrr6JiXpWEfA7-ozU54a5rLtSspgF0NkW3hl_F_-bI7mja4_bS_VWNjgbz-katcETx2LclA6S-HeimpWzSHBWmhswt61yMoYMW_TS8cY7mSGH6gUOI1jvalXx/?imgmax=800" width="404" height="271" /></a></a></a><font size="3"> </font></p> <p align="center"><font size="3"></font></p> <p align="center"><font size="3"></font></p> <div align="center"></div> <p align="center"><font size="3">I thank you from the bottom of my heart for your prayers and your love.  I’ll be back another day to share my Christmas tree and other little things I did.   My heartfelt thanks.</font></p> <p align="center"><font color="#ca0000" size="6" face="Harrington">Sandra</font></p> <p align="center"><font color="#ca0000" size="6" face="Harrington"> </font></p> Sandrahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12731602027213155763noreply@blogger.com6tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2006755223089224299.post-87054012605845015662010-11-21T18:26:00.001-06:002010-11-21T18:26:58.967-06:00Buh Bye Brass!!<p align="center"><font size="3">Hi everyone! I hope y’all are having a good week!  Thanksgiving Day is coming up! Are you headin’ out to the stores to get everything you need for the holiday?  I am! I have just a few more things to buy and that’s it.  The turkey is bought and stored away for now.  Pecan and pumpkin pies are ordered.  We used to make them ourselves but the last few years we have chosen to just buy them. So much easier!  </font></p> <p align="center"><font size="3">Anyway, I wanted to show  you what we worked on this weekend.  I had this idea a while back to spray paint  these two fixtures in one of my favorite colors…..Oil Rubbed Bronze.  Hubby finally had a chance to take these off so that I could get to town with my spray paint.  Woohoo!!!!  Let’s start out with the chandelier in my mini dining room.  It used to be brass!

Thank you for the pink tool set and I look forward to using it. :) I quickly took this picture but please excuse the bad quality of it.  I couldn’t find my little canon point and shoot so I ended up taking the pictures with my huge Canon.  Looks like the flash settled on my face. *blush*  My hair is a mess cause I had been running some errands around town.  So anyway, that is the drill you see from the set.  It’s pink:)</p> <p align="center"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjSC55YBDQIJRQBRq97nrSfm1oNBM0BEettRuT04urzc3dzlLAYTcx0mTsMTTXtZ5SnAgjoR2vw1F5MUXpi68hqknlr5T7pn_XjC_N4jMO-e8L2MwuXFF8pa-ehGtv7bbGIcMnFeAAOCEZ1/s1600-h/IMG_7140%5B9%5D.jpg"><img style="border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; display: block; float: none; margin-left: auto; border-top: 0px; margin-right: auto; border-right: 0px" title="IMG_7140" border="0" alt="IMG_7140" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjfcSUVJth7FmkuM5nrVtowZvnjIZtBEmDpFcKsmj3Z2CZH9j3e-NjKD9kd31hX9nUo7FwxLm1a4bYLh44wLcv5BPU0Ck0yotRREIIkxa7fBZh-2S7ekQrePMGeOqmpCYE8zExQPpBmBfSB/?imgmax=800" width="302" height="240" /></a> </p> <p align="center">I love love it!  My boys and I had such a fun time looking at all of the tools.  They also told me that I looked like a kid at a candy store. ha ha!  </p> <p align="center"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhnaHKO1Ap3EO7BTtuTAUw_-LHh3t4yZLlEJvewWghG7w6LxCwyAXmx3RwG7YxOrEq6J1ALlvpDXcrDrsMKOh8IqMSnMnQS7afEITEf24oKwumk9jiHdtnc1JFFJUpj9hEQUkslwnESE3Ix/s1600-h/IMG_7164%5B9%5D.jpg"><img style="border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; display: block; float: none; margin-left: auto; border-top: 0px; margin-right: auto; border-right: 0px" title="IMG_7164" border="0" alt="IMG_7164" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj98dtvF2-bl4mPaGsF0U-x_c8Xo99Osg3jtOyEUCuTpQ_mLDsgNR655mkSRc8Jcv1TvMB3j3cG8S0oWeCDmOm0q-TozdjG9SrWtHXZf_v0NPwwV773wpGp_ZBxAtLPX2AiNBEB8Bl12GX-/?imgmax=800" width="404" height="547" /></a> </p> <p align="center"> I will definitely use these babies often, Gloria!
