Welcome To My Casa Bella

My Casa Bella- means-my beautiful home- but it can mean so many other things. How you make your home a home. The sounds of children or pets playing. The aroma of scones in the oven or a lilac candle burning. The flowers blooming in your garden. The home grown vegetables ready to be picked. Grandma's quilt at the foot of the bed. A fire to curl up to with a good book. Or just a family spending time together with love, laughter and a good time.

My Last Post.......

....only for a little while, just until I feel
good enough to get
up and move around and play....
Tomorrow is the big
day for me!
I am anxious, not so much for the
surgery, although
that is a really big factor, but, no
its mainly because
of the medical expenses that has come
because of my health.
It doesn't feel good knowing alot of the
bills are because of
my health, my problems, my issues.
Yesterday at the Pre-op
appointment, we paid for the hospital
stay, and eventhough
we have insurance, it still hurt! Hurt Bad!
I'm thinking of the fact
that we're adding this to the rest of the
medical bills. I got
emotional, but fought it hard not to show it
otherwise it worries my
dh.
He is so supportive, he tells me that I should
not worry, for better or for
worse, right?
Sorry, babe, I tell him, this is the worse
I guess.
But I"ve been very busy, I made lots of
food:
Split Pea and Chorizo Soup
Meatballs
Lasagna
Beef Stew
White Bean and Bacon Soup
White Chicken Chili
I'm hoping it'll last for a while
eventhough I know
we won't go hungry, thanks to
family and friends.
But I wanted to feel useful after
all this.
I'm doing laundry now and some
cleaning.
I have to pack an overnight bag
as well. UGGHHH!!
I can't wait until its all over and I
can come home.
I have lots of crafting I want to do
but I have to wait
a little bit. I will be resting for a few
days.
So I won't be posting until sometime
from now.
I'm going to take a break, for a little
while.
But please, feel free to leave me a comment.
So many have
and its meant so much. I will be checking
from time to time.
 Monday morning after lots of rain and wind
the sun came out and the
clouds looked
beautiful, it put a smile on my face and helped
me forget for that moment

It looks like a really snowy covered
mountain to me.
Isn't it so pretty? I love clouds, all the
shapes they can
take on. I think of how much our Creator
wants us to enjoy
the beauty around us and wants us to smile
and forget at that moment
what we're going
through!
Until later, take care and we'll "talk" soon.

  2. Good luck tomorrow! I am sympathetic to the whole medical bill thing. I have a brother going through a similar thing. I meant to pop in sooner but I stopped in the little paper shop in Greencastle and saw your bags! They look really nice. I hope you'll be all better by March because I am putting together another Etsy social in the area. I'll stop back in for a good news update!

  3. Hi there! I can't believe that I'm only just finding your blog now. My sister is Melissa from The Vintage Attic and I am the proud owner of one of your gorgeous handbags that she bought for me awhile ago. I love it! It's in my favorite colors, soft blue and brown. I'm so sorry to hear about your surgery. While I've never suffered from endometriosis, I have PCOS which has some of the same side effects. I will be thinking and praying for you. I'd love for you to stop by my blog sometime. I followed you and I'm adding you to my sidebar so I can get all of the latest blog updates from you! God Bless you!
