Show and Tell Friday

It's time for Show and Tell Friday. If you would like to participate, drop over to Kelli's at There's No Place Like Home.

This week I'd like to show you a picture of my mother when she was a baby. Mom was born in September 1927, so this picture is approximately 80 years old. It is still in its original frame and it is in excellent condition. Wasn't Mom an adorable baby? This picture and frame is very precious to me. I will, of course, be passing it down to my daughter and then, since she doesn't have any girls, it will go to the oldest son, which is Brandon. It is a real family heirloom. See the detail on the frame. This is from the days when things were made well. It has been handled with loving care since the day it arrived at my grandparent's home.

A few weeks ago, I posted about my rooster that sits on my porch railing during the spring, summer and fall. Hubby was to take it to the basement last fall and he told me he hadn't done that. The rooster was no where to be seen, so I figured either he had taken it to the basement and forgotten, or the rooster had found a new home. Aha! Just as I suspected. When I went to the basement and checked, there was the rooster sitting on a shelf, right where hubby said he hadn't put it. LOL So, Monsieur Rooster is safe and will be sitting on my porch railing sometime soon.

In other news DH did see the specialist today. He is sending him for blood work and other tests. However, he did do one thing that made me rather upset. I have been pressuring DH to have a prostrate test for some time. The specialist told him it wasn't necessary. Grrr! Any man over 50 years should be having prostrate tests. Maybe he just wants him to wait until the other tests are done but my reasoning says, get them all done at once. Sometimes I just don't understand doctors. What was he thinking? Or maybe I'm just over-reacting. However, it's better to be safe than sorry.

Thanks to everyone for your prayers. As soon as we have any word on the results of the tests, I'll be sure to let you know. Your prayers are much appreciated. Have a wonderful weekend and remember to do a random act of kindness when the opportunity arises. ~Blessings, Mary~
