Coffee and Babysitting

 Time to have coffee with Jaime over at Wild Horse!  I hadn't been over there during the month of Christmas so hadn't seen their decorations NOR had one of their Christmas drinks so it was definitely time to go!

I had the most delicious drink - white mocha, toasted marshmellow and peppermint - yummy!

Jaime and I talked a mile a minute to catch up - she had to give me lots of details on the NEW addition to their home!  Jaime and Brad are very committed to helping those in need - and Kylan met a gal online whom he was gaming with - she came from a home where she was no longer welcome and after her roommates didn't renew their lease on an apartment, she had nowhere to go so was living in a car outside of her work.  Anyway, Jaime and Brad flew her up here and she is now living in their home, working on getting a drivers license (she is 19) and will find work soon.  Her name is Irene and we met her on New Years Eve - a very sweet gal who hopefully will have a much better life here!

Also going on is our neighbor and friend Peggy who was diagnosed with lymphoma - she's had a tough road and has now been in the hospital for 28 days - she chose at first to do alternative medicine but her tumor was too big and she ended up in the hospital - her hubby Al called New Year's week in tears telling us there was nothing more they could do after surgery and if we wanted to see her, we needed to come down.  Her daughter from Florida was flying in that day (amid several delays due to weather) and we all prayed daughter Ashley would make it in time.  It was a tearful journey to Colorado Springs to say good-bye to Peggy but when we arrived, a miracle had occurred!  Peggy's vitals were back to normal and the dr said he had never seen anything like it!!  She was still in ICU and had another surgery ahead of her but things were looking up!  Ashley did get in that night and needed help with her 6 month old son on Friday so I took him for the day!

Unfortunately he was teething and not very happy for a couple of hours but after I gave him the teething tablets, he was a different little guy and I enjoyed him!

Glenn had fun plaing peek a boo with him and we got him to laugh and giggle which was fun!!  Guess I haven't lost my touch!
