WE INTERRUPT THIS BLOG BREAK!

I am linking to Mosaic Monday at Little Red House. Please go visit Mary for links to mosaics.








If you have been following 12 year-old Andrew's medical problems on his mother's blog, Bella Mella, I thought you might want to send him a card. Andrew has had two surgeries for a brain tumor within the last month.



You have probably read on Debbie's blog (Amy's mother) (There's An Angel on my Front Porch) or Amy's Aunt Sherry's blog (Country Wings In Phoenix) about how all of you wonderful bloggers have responded to the request for cards for Amy.

Since y'all have been so wonderful about responding to the card request for Amy, I wanted to ask you to please consider mailing one to Andrew also. Melanie (Andrew's mother) does not have a P.O. Box, so to keep from publishing their home address, I will be forwarding packages of cards to him and to Melanie if you want to send one to her. Please mail cards to:

Andrew
c/o Laurie
P.O. Box 443
Blytheville, AR 72316.


I will not be opening the cards. I'll simply place the addressed cards into a large envelope and mail them. I will keep mailing them as long as you keep sending them. Please continue sending cards to Amy too (see my sidebar for information about the address for Amy). Thank you so much for being such kind and generous people. laurie



P.S.: I really AM on a little blog break, but I obviously can't stay quiet for long (Did you notice that my break lasted about one day?) I just wanted to post this, and then... I AM on blog break for a little while.

(Rebus translation: I'm still on break. Just can't keep my mouth or keyboard quiet for long.)

    Oh Laurie you are so sweet to do that. I think it's a great idea. I read his story a couple of days ago and felt so bad for him. I sent Amy a couple of cards and will get one in the mail for Andrew too.
    Had to laugh about what you said about your blog break. You are too funny!!!!

    My dad used to tell me that he thought I was accidentally vaccinated with a phonograph needle (now doesn't that sound older than dirt :) You will have to be bound and gagged--and even then you will "lurk". You came out of exile for a good reason--card is on the way :)

    Laurie that is so sweet. I wanted to send him a card too, but I did not want to push it. You are so kind to do this for Melanie and Andrew. I know Amy loved her cards and I am sure Andrew will also. Hurry back to your blog!

    Hi Laurie, I see you have been on a little blog break too. It is good to be back to blogging again for me. I adore you header with all the flowers. Maybe this morning if we didn't get a frost last night I'll go pick some of my hydrenga's and dry them for the Christmas mantel.
    Hugs,
    Sue

    Well, that little blog break was LONG enough! You know you're going to be missed.... :-(

    As you know, I have a nine year old grandson so the tumors of this little guy just breaks my heart. I'm going out today, so I will pick up a card for him....You're so thoughtful and caring to send out the SOS for him.

    I had totally forgotten about the Please Stand By screen. That's sure a blast from the past. Kids these days have NEVER seen that one, that's for sure. Didn't they used to have one about signing off at night too?

    Big hugs sweet Laurie!

    Hi Laurie -- I know that you're on a break -- but if you get a chance, stop by -- I'm having a give-a-way -- perhaps you'll see something that interests you. Miss you!
