Hello CUTE family. It has been a long stretch for me - not being around - the format has changed so very much - I do hope you all are enjoying it. Rick and I have still many health issues - but we are grateful to still be on our own. It has been months since we have heard from anyone - the phone never rings - we have placed many calls and got voice messaging. Thank goodness that we were able to hook-up with the meals on wheels program - it cost a little for each meal - but they bring us each a meal each weekday. They are they only ones that have been to our door in months, as well. I hope this finds you all well - you are in my thoughts daily - but I just can't get to the PC long enough to get here. Unconditional love, Shirlene

I missed you Shirleen. I wish I lived closer to you. I hope you and your husband can get through the holiday season safely and without too much discomfort.

Welcome back !

Healing hugs and love, Bonnie

Glad you are back on cute too!!!!!

So happy to see you back here!! Have missed you so much!! Happy that you found Meals on Wheels - what a wonderful program!! I never stop sending prayers your way!! Hugs to you and Rick, Laura*

Thank you all for your thoughtfulness and especially the prayes. I have missed the CUTE family a very lot and will try to get back again - soon. HUGS

Shirlene it is so good to hear from you! You are never far from my thoughts.Every time I come to cute I think of you. I hope and pray that you and Rick are on the uphill slope. I understand totally what you must be going through and wish you lived closer. Keep us in your thoughts as we do you.
Love & Hugs, Nadyne

Nadyne dear, I wished you lived closer, too - thank you for your thoughtfulness and prayers.

Shirlene, I think you can tell by the many posts & flowers how loved you are. Wish some of us cuties were closer to you & could pop over to help, or at least talk a bit. Tenn. is a long way from Utah, but prayers fly upward for you & Rick. If you want to talk, PM me & I'll give you my phone number...or you can PM me yours. Hope you are busy with all your lace orders. Love ya! Gerry B

Thank you Gerry - you are right TN is a bit of a distance from UT - I have driven that twice and wouldn't want to do it again. Hehehe! Thanks for your thoughtfulness and prayers - I will look at the PM, after posting to others here.

It is great to hear from you. Hope things get better for you.

Pam, thanks so very much - I appreciate knowing that I have been missed and especially the prayers. HUGS

Shirlene - We have never really met before here on Cuties. But over the last year I have seen your posts and have read what so many others have written about you and your wonderful mother. A picture of a very wonderful woman has been painted for me from your friends here on Cutie. I want to add my thoughts and prayers for you and your husband Rick - that you are able to received Gods miracles of healing. Are you able to get to your computer to read emails that are sent to you? I too wish I lived closer so that I could come check in on you and help you out when I could. Please take care of yourself and Rick and remember you are loved and missed everyday.

It is so good to hear from you and see your smiling face in your picture! I'm sorry to hear that you are having health problems.

Thank goodness for meals on wheels, so many people rely on them, and eagerly wait for the knock on the door. Since you were able to check in, I hope that is a good sign that you still have some good moments and hope cuties are one of them. Will continue to keep you both in prayers and know that we think of you everytime we see that smiling face(your avatar) it communicates something special, as do your kind comments. Have a peaceful week...

cj, thanks - I have missed all of you, too. I never thought of those angels bring anything back to us - but that would be such a great miracle if it did - thank you so very much HUGS

Glad to hear you can get some help,
to bad your family- I thought you had 2 girls and a boy- is not near or your local church.
On the other hand a lot of people are having hard times these days and charity is down.
Now, with Sandy victims its even harder. Keep in touch with cuties.

I am so sorry to hear of your continued illness. I know how it is not to receive a phone call months on end when just a little call would brighten our day and for that I am so sorry. I wish I could visit, we could talk about your beautifu lace or the latest design we had seen on cutie oh what a fun day we could have. God bless both of you and I will say a prayer each night for you and your husband.
