Christmas tree at the Mckee house

I BOUGHT THIS TREE LAST YEAR THE DAY AFTER CHRISTMAS FOR HALF PRICE AT LOWE'S. IT WAS NORMALLY A $300.00 TREE. ITS THE PRETTIES AND THE BIGGEST TREE I HAVE EVER HAD.
SO I WENT AHEAD AND BOUGHT ALL NEW DECORATIONS FOR IT.
THIS YEARS THEME WAS RED WHITE AND BLUE. WILL DECORATE THE OUTSIDE TOMORROW.

DO YOU THINK ITS OK TO PRAY HEALING OVER ANIMALS

WOW WHERE TO BEGIN. WELL WE HAVE A DOG NAMED KARA.
SINCE JAMES HAS NO CHILDREN SHE IS LIKE HIS CHILD. HE LOVES THIS DOG GREATLY. AS SOON AS HE COMES HOME SHE GREATS HIM AT HIS CAR AND HE SAYS "WELL HELLO HONEY BUNNY". SHE IS LIKE HIS CHILD.
WELL ABOUT A MONTH AGO SHE HAD A LUMP ON HER BREAST BONE THAT WAS ABOUT GULF SIZE. JUST CAME OUT OF NO WHERE. SO I TOOK HER TO THE VET. THEY SAID IT DIDN'T LOOK TO GOOD AND IT CAME UP VERY FAST. SHE WAS JUST IN TO THE SEE THE VET FOR SHOTS 2 WEEKS BEFORE THIS APPOINTMENT AND IT WASN'T THERE. SO HE GAVE HER SOME MEDICINES AND WE HAD TO TAKE HER BACK IN 10 DAYS IF IT WASN'T GONE. WELL IT WASN'T GONE. SO I CALLED AND HE SAW HER AND SCHEDULED HER SURGERY THE NEXT MORNING.
AFTER THE SURGERY THEY SENT OFF A TISSUE SAMPLE TO BE TESTED. THE VET SAID IT JUST DIDN'T LOOK NORMAL AND HE WANTED IT TESTED. IT WAS VERY DEEP HE HAD TO GO ALL THE WAY DOWN TO THE BONE TO GET ALL OF THE LUMP OUT. SO THE STITCHES WERE HUGE AND THE WOUND WAS DEEP AND BIG.
WE TOOK HER BACK 2 WEEKS LATER TO GET THE STITCHES OUT BUT THE DR. SAID IT DIDN'T LOOK VERY GOOD. SO HE TOOK OUT THE STITCHES AND REPLACED THEM WITH STAPLES.
ANOTHER ROUND OF ANTIBIOTICS AND STEROIDS. 5 DAYS WITH THE GOOFY DOG COLLAR ON SO SHE WON'T LICK IT. POOR DOG,,,SHE WAS RUNNING INTO THE WALLS WITH HER NEW HOODIE..LOL
WELL THIS AFTERNOON WE TOOK HER IN TO HAVE THE STAPLES REMOVED.
WHEN THEY TOOK THEM OUT THE SKIN WOULD NOT STAY TOGETHER. DR WAS NOT SURE WHY IT WILL NOT HEAL TOGETHER.
OH YA LET ME BACK UP ....WE GOT THE LAB RESULTS IN THE MAIL AND IT SAID IT WAS CANCER.
JAMES WAS DEVASTATED. THIS IS LIKE HIS CHILD. HE TOOK IT VERY HARD.
THE DR. SAID IT MIGHT NOT BE HEALING DUE TO THE CANCER. SO HERE WE GO AGAIN.
THEY NUMBED IT, SCRUBBED THE OPEN WOUND, I ALMOST PASSED OUT WATCHING THIS AND HOLDER HER DOWN(3 OF US). THEN HE STITCHED HER UP AGAIN AND ANOTHER ROUND OF ANTIBIOTICS.
AND 5 MORE DAYS WITH HER LOVELY HOODIE. OH AND I FORGOT TO TELL YOU, THE DR TOLD US TO KEEP A T-SHIRT ON HER SO SHE WON'T LICK IT AND IT WON'T GET DIRTY AND TO CHANGE OUT HER T-SHIRT DAILY.
SO WE WENT TO DOLLAR GENERAL AND BOUGHT HER BOYS SIZE SMALL T-SHIRT. VET RECOMMENDED .
WHY DO THEY ONLY CARRY WHITE T-SHIRTS FOR BOYS IN THE PACKET????
ANYWAY WE GOT HER A CUTE PINK T-SHIRT WHILE AT WAL-MART TONIGHT. LOL YA I KNOW YOU WHAT YOU ARE THINKING, CRAZY CRAZY CRAZY....BUT MEMBER THIS DOG IS PART OF OUR FAMILY.SHE IS NOT JUST A DOG ..
HERE ARE SOME PICTURES OF DADDY(JAMES) PUTTING HER T-SHIRT ON HER . SHE ACTUALLY LOVES IT. SHE WAS ALL TRYING TO STICK HER HEAD IN THE SHIRT BEFORE JAMES COULD EVEN GET IT ON HER;
CRAZY DOG., GONNA MISS HER WHEN SHE IS GONE...OH CRAP JUST THINKING OF IT MAKES MY EYES WATER.....HERE ARE SOME GOOFY PICTURES TO REMEMBER HER BY. WE ARE NOT SURE HOW LONG WE HAVE WITH HER DUE TO THE CANCER.
DO YOU THINK IT IS OK TO PRAY FOR HEALING IN ANIMALS????

1st Autumn Cake

TELL ME WHAT YOU THINK. THE INSIDE IS CARROT CAKE AND THE ICING IS CREAM CHEESE. ITS FOR A FUND RAISING EVEN THAT MY HUSBANDS UNIT IS HAVING TOMORROW.

EVERYONE CAN'T BE IN YOUR FRONT ROW...

Life is like a theater, so invite your audiences carefully. Not everyone is
holy enough and healthy enough to have a FRONT ROW seat in our lives. There
are some people in your life that need to be loved from a distance. It's
amazing what you can accomplish when you let go, or at least minimize your
time with draining, negative, incompatible, not-going-anywhere
relationships, friendships, fellowships, and even family!

Observe the relationships around you. Pay attention to: Which ones lift and
which ones lean? Which ones encourage and which ones discourage? Which ones
are on a path of growth uphill and which ones are just going downhill or
just standing still??? When you leave certain people, do you feel better or
feel worse? Which ones always have drama or don't really understand, know,
and appreciate you and the gift that lies within you?

The more you seek God and the things of God, the more you seek quality, the
more you seek not just the hand of God but the face of God, the more you
seek things that are honorable, the more you seek growth, peace of mind,
love and truth around you, the easier it will become for you to decide who
gets to sit in the FRONT ROW and who should be moved to the BALCONY of your
life.

You cannot change the people around you...but you can change the people you
are around! Ask God for wisdom and discernment and choose wisely the people
who sit in the FRONT ROW of your life. Remember that FRONT ROW seats are
for special and deserving people and those who sit in Your FRONT ROW should
be chosen carefully.

I like the ribbon and pretty sure where to place that.LOL. just not sure what to do with these kewl shiny pink &green balls. I love them and they go great with the color scheme. maybe have them sticking out of the top of the cake some place around the flowers. hhmmmmm...dang I need some help on this one people. Give me some ideas


NoW this is kewl and not sure if I should EVEN put it on the cake because it might flake off into the actual cake. maybe some place around the bottom of it or on the platter of which the cake will sit on.


and of course the flowers will go on the top of the cake as the center peace.
