Shades of Red Premium Jigsaw Puzzle

I needed those quotes today. My daughter, who lives in South Carolina, called me last night with an update on job, kids, housing, etc. She told me something that has me really scared and I am asking for prayers. My 7 year old grandson was diagnosed with ADHD last year. They have him on medication and he has improved immensely. Near the end of the school year his behavior was off the charts. They took him to be tested and, to make a long story short, they believe he has a tumor on his brain.....you can all imagine how I feel and what my daughter must be going through. No mention if it might be cancer and no MRI until Aug. 23. I completely believe in the power of prayer and God's power. If you could keep her and her family, and me, in your prayers I would be so very, very grateful. Thank you so much!

Thanks, aussie, for these quotes of wisdom, for everything is subject to the immutable law of change and decay. Those who are adamant about "we've always done it this way" or "there's no other way to understand it" are losing out on a lot of wonderful progress and enlightenment. Hugs, dear cyber friend! And, thanks again.

I got my certification in Change Management from the state of Connecticut about 30 years ago. The most important thing we learned was how to get people to accept change.

When I was training people to use on-line computers (the first computer some of them had used! ), I found that the young people had no problem with the changes it brought - and neither did those over 60! It was the middle-agers who fought every step of the way. When you're young, things are always changing. When you're older, you've seen enough change that it's no big deal. It's those years in between that are the challenge.

Such a hard lesson to learn, but you are right abacii. Hugs.

I'm 90 started on CP at 73
I really can make mine fly apart
need you for a neighbor

Nborchardt, what a trying time for all of you. I'm praying that they find the tumor is a self-contained cyst and it can be removed or treated with drugs successfully. Having it removed/treated may even end the ADHD! I hold you all in my heart.

Dear nborchrdt, so sad to hear about your grandson and am praying for him and all the family. Love from me to all of you. Hugs.

Just read your post nborchrdt, and immediately said a prayer for your precious grandson. Will remember him in my daily prayers, too, as well as ask for spiritual support for his loving family.

Thank you, Aussie. I will keep all informed. Blessings!

Thanks for the reminder! Had planned to get to church today; missed the early Mass so good thing there is a later one..

Pixi, you would have a hard time up here most of the year! Right now, I can get wonderful, tasty, meaty tomatoes at the farmer's market, so I buy several at a time. If they start to get soft, I cut them up and freeze them to use in dishes during the winter.

I have one in the fridge right now I plan to throw in a stew because it is past fresh eating goodness. Freezing stuff is so much easier than canning.

I love tomato sandwiches too. How do you make your's?

I like mine open face on toast with a thin spread of mayo and salt.

Just tomato bread and Mayonnaise
salt and pepper if you want it
I could live off tomato sandwiches
love tomato gravy and biscuits too
and tomato pie
I guess you can say I love tomatoes

Cardboard and water comes to mind...

Exactly!

Lol aknan. Hugs

Oh, I am so glad I was not the only one, but you're right, it was fun to do.

Me, too, jas -- especially the middle section. And I was initially puzzled by the puzzle's title -- Shades of Red -- but when I worked it and all the little red edgings wouldn't match up to what I thought they should, I reflected back on the choice of title and saw how it fit this puzzle. Hope you're having a great day, wherever you are!
