T Stands for Tuesdays

Hello again! 
I know it's been weeks since I've posted and it's likely to be weeks again before I get back. I also apologize now for not getting around to visiting all of your post. It's just going to be one of those weeks again here. 
My dad has been ill again and in the hospital. This time it was the doctors fault 😠
They had prescribed way to much medication and he became toxic from it.  
He has recovered from that and was doing well and then he developed a lump on his face that became extremely painful. He went to the ER who told him he had cancer and they wouldn't touch it. He needs to see his doctor and get a biopsy and then see a specialist. So now we have that worry on our plate. 
The bright side of life here is the babies are doing great!!! Growing like crazy !



Dominic still outweighs Maryana a whole lot but she is doing better at gaining weight. He has gotten over his colic stage and is a happy baby now. 
They both laugh a lot and baby talk all of the time. 
 
The garden has struggled this year with the heat and the extreme dryness. Half of the tomato plants are dying and the Japanese Beetles ate the green beans and lots of other things. Definitely the worst year ever for those critters 😮


So that's what's happening here!

  7. What worrisome news about your father, Carol. I hope the ER is wrong, and things aren't as gloomy as they make it out to be.

    Your sunflowers are doing great despite the bugs, critters, and drought. They look very happy.

    So do the twins. They are truly adorable and it's so good to watch as they continue to grow.

    Thanks for sharing your sunflowers, the twins, and your coffee with us for T this Tuesday. Sorry I was late visiting. I was out standing in line to vote. Looks like YOU had a big primary election today, too.

  8. Your grandchildren are cuties! Especially those twins. ;) Sorry to hear that your father is going through a difficult time. I hope that the lump on his face is not cancer. Healthcare can be so frustrating at times.As a nurse, I think that medication is over prescribed. Sadly, interactions happen often. I guess that is why it is called the practice of medicine. I hope you are able to find a better doctor and are able to find answers.

    Your sunflowers are beautiful despite your rough season. I didn't have very good yield either. For me the pests come in the form of beetles and groundhogs. Grrr.
    Happy Tea Day,
    Kate

  13. Sending healing thoughts and wishes for your dad! How lovely to see the twins, it's a joy to see them looking so happy 😁. I think Autumn/Fall will be with us early this year as many of the plants that should be flowering all summer long are going to seed already because of the heat. Your sunflowers look spectacular and I'm loving your random thoughts, so true 😀. Thinking of you and wishing you well! J 😊 x

  14. omg Carol, those babies are unbelievably cute :-) Congrats on becoming a grandma!!! So sorry to hear about your dad. I've always heard that cancer doesn't hurt in the beginning phases, so hopefully it's something else that they can cure fast. Sending healing thoughts your way ♥♥♥
