Oh yes.... beary thankful. I am pretty sure I mentioned my bear in a previous entry. It was given to me by the hospital to use for coughing, sneezing etc. All I do is give it a hug and the pressure helps lessen the pain and discomfort in my chest. I have been using it as a little security blanket when I'm out of the house. You know... if I have it I don't need it but if I didn't have it.......... Well.. I've been needing it as I get a tickle in my throat and the cough is aggravating. The tickle is a side effect of one of the meds.
:::giggle::: my nephew, Mike. He has a little bit of a different security blanket he likes to sleep with. LMAO!!! Oh, yeah it was a set up.
My brother in law and niece..... aren't they just too cute??
Hillbilly Jeff (my nephew) after a good meal. My other niece hasn't let the eyelids close at this point.... but oh rest assured she did take a nap too!!
Guess who!?! Ya don't think for one minute she was going to be left out do you? That would be Mama that she is laying on.
My nephew and nieces... a bit after the naps. LOL I think this might have been during dessert. Sugar rush anyone???
Bug... again.... she was posing with my nephews girlfriend, Joan. Gotta love the tights!
Joan and my nephew Eric. Loving this shot! Has to be one of the best pictures I've gotten of Eric. He's a joker and most times the shots of him are silly. Maybe he just ate to much to be silly.............
Wake up you sleepy head, rub your eyes, get out of bed.... Anyone know what song that is from?
Bug and I... she was so gentle with me. So concerned. She waited on me a ton and always made sure I had my bear handy. LOL
Yeap........ me and my boy... I'm thinking I don't look half bad 3 weeks after having a triple bypass...... no make up or anything but....
below he is with his girlfriend. So damn proud of this guy!
In case you can't tell my holiday was marvelous. Way too much food but such great company. I lasted much longer then I thought I would but it was well worth it. My family teased as I took the pictures stating they'd be posted by midnight..... well.... they are... LMAO just the wrong day.
Hope everyone had a great holiday and enjoyed themselves. No Black Friday shopping for me.... not even sure when I will get my shopping done at this point. And know what... it doesn't matter.
Hugs

Oh Donna, it's just lovely to see all your wonderful photos, I can see the day was a great one for you all! Love the bear, I'm going back to my doctor and demanding one, he put me on new heart meds a couple of weeks ago and they give me that tickly cough, isn't it just irritating? Bug looks as delightful as ever and it was nice to hear and see that she's looking after you, bless her! Steve looks such a kind caring son and all the family look so happy that you were there with them in your official capacity as Thanksgiving photographer! Lol! Yup, you do look great considering all you've been through recently. Keep on getting better and have a great weekend! Jeannette xx
Are there ANY ugly people in your family? All those handsome men and pretty girls with dazzling white smiles, makes me wonder if you hired actors and actresses to have holiday with!
Great pics by the way! Bug is cute as ever and you don't look so bad yourself!
I think you look absoloutly marvelous!!! Glad to hear you had such an awesome holiday! Linda
Donna..you look absolutely fit and well already! I know you are not but you certainly show it through your eyes. All the love and contentment is showing there at having your family surrounding you.
As for the song..
When the Red Red Robin
Comes Bob..Bob..Bobbin
Along....Along!
There'll be no more sobbin
When he starts singin'
His own sweet song!
Wake up!..Wake up! you sleepy head.
Get up..Get up.. Get out of bed.....
Cheer up ...Cheer up!
The sun is red.
Live ..Love..Laugh and be happy...
That's all I remember from my old 'filing system' of a brain. Lol!
Hang on tight to that 'Huggy Bear' of yours.
And catch a gentle hug from me too.
Love

P.S. I am a big believer in teddy bears even though I use a penguin instead. ;)
So good to see photos of you and your family (that cute Bug)everybody looking pretty happy. You must have given them some worried looks three weeks ago. Yes, I think you look remarkably good so soon after. But I am glad to see that you have not lost your zest for taking great pictures. Gerry
My ex-M-I-L has that special bear too, she also went thru the trip-bypass a couple of years ago. Once she was past the coughing fits, she gave it to Zach to play with :)
Looks like you folks had an awesome gathering!
I like the song :) Someone already answered it.
Have a great weekend!

I enjoyed looking at the pictures. That baby doll on your nephew made me laugh! Looks like something I would do.
Your son's a cutie :X lol
I'm glad you enjoyed your holiday Donna. I know you probably treasured that day more than any so far. *M*
I looked at all of this and I know you think I'm a sap but I cried.
To think how close it was to your not being there to take those great shots of the family. I don't want to. I am so grateful you are still here. After three weeks you do look good. You are amazing and God is good. Thank you for fighting. I'm still crying as the reality of what a miracle just this post alone is hit me.
Gentle hugs,
Nelishia
