September Prime Purchases and Daddy Update



Well, here we are, September 2nd.  We will not turn around twice and Christmas decor will be in every store and I am not ready for that.  But, for now, I'll share my prime purchases with you this month.  I did not have a lot of time for Amazon in August (more about that at the end of the post) but, here's what I did find.

BIBLE  STUDY WORKBOOK


If the Lord's willing and the creek's don't rise, I will begin this Bible study next week with a group at our church.  We've done another Kristi McLelland study that was awesome, so I'm expecting this one to be equal or better.



COCKTAIL  NAPKINS



If you've been hanging around here for very long then you know I love all things birds.  When I saw these cocktail napkins, I had to have them.  AND, they came in a package of 150! I use cocktail napkins a lot and these are so pretty and aren't seasonal.  



EXPANDABLE  HOSE



I don't know who designed expandable hoses but KUDOS to them!  What a genius idea!  They make life sooooo much easier.  We have about 3-4 at the various outside faucets.  The one near the back porch got a hole in it, so we ordered this one to replace it.  I never mind using one of these because they are so easy to put away.  If you have never had one, you need one.



AIRPOD  PRO 2  CASE



I am a big user of Air Pods and just recently got the new Airpod Pros 2. And, of course, that calls for a new case for them.  Yes, they come in a case but this serves as protection.  I put my pods in as soon as I get out of the shower in the mornings and then start Audible.  And, I wear them a lot when I am home as I can talk on the phone and never miss a beat.  I DO NOT wear them outside the house.  I think it is tacky when folks have them in their ears while they are out and about. ~just my opinion~



LIGHTWEIGHT  CHIFFON  BLOUSE


This is the cutest blouse and comes in a whole host of patterns. I wear a 6-8 and got this in a small and it was perfect.  I love the sleeves and the elastic band allows you to push them up and out of the way. And, the front tuck is so cute!



2-PACK  VEHICLE  ASSIST  HANDLE



Okay folks, it seems that a lot of the newer cars do not have the grab handles over by the windshield.  These are most helpful to someone that has difficulty getting in an SUV.  I just got a new SUV and I couldn't believe it didn't have a grab handle by the windshield. It has one above where the door opens but that is not always convenient.  SO, saw these on a video the other day and they were in my cart before "quick could get ready."  They fit in the vehicles U shaped door lock and make the perfect assist for getting in the vehicle.  I don't know that my Daddy will ever be able to get in my vehicle again but, if he does, these will be a lifesaver.  They are easy to put in and remove and then throw them in the glove compartment for the next time.




As I mentioned above, I had more to be concerned about in August (and still do) than shopping on Amazon.  I mentioned a couple of weeks ago that my precious Daddy had taken a terrible fall back on August 10th.  He fell in his bathroom on the ceramic floor and broke his shoulder blade, cracked 3 ribs and has 3 fractures in his lower spine.  Just awful!!! About a week after the fall he had to be hospitalized for treatment.  He was very anemic, dehydrated and very, very confused.  He received IV fluids, 2 pints of blood, pain meds and a lot of TLC. I was able to secure some awesome caregivers to assist me with his care and they are still with me from 7:00AM - 8:00PM.  He manages during the night with the aide on duty checking on him about every hour.  He was hospitalized for 4 nights and my youngest brother flew in to assist with his needs during that time.  He was a lifesaver!  Daddy is back at the assisted living facility  and is doing fairly well, some days are better than others.  He  seems to be getting less confused and forgetful but still has to have assistance with most everything. It has been an emotional roller coaster for sure.  But, the Lord is in control and I know He has a perfect plan, even though I may not understand that plan. He will be 95 years old in November and this type of trauma is hard to overcome for the elderly.  I'm not sure what the coming days hold, but, thankfully, I do know who holds the days, and I'm trying hard to hang on and trust Him. And, Daddy has amazed us before and I wouldn't put it past him to amaze us again.

  1. Those are some good finds! The next time I buy a water hose, I will look for that kind. Mine just says in the yard all summer long. Those handles are so helpful to have in a car. Oh, I can't imagine the recovery of your dad's injuires. My mom is 82 and is still recovering from two major surgeries last month. I am so thankful you have help.

  3. I've never heard of those vehicle assist handles, but that's a great idea. I'm so sorry about your dad's fall and recent health issues. My dad had something very similar happen this summer, but his 93 year old body was unable to recover and he met Jesus on July 2nd. I'll be praying for your precious daddy!

  4. Great finds. My heart and prayers go out to you. I lost my Daddy in June. It's so hard to watch them fail and struggle with their health and mind. I will pray for his healing and strength for you as a caregiver.

  5. I love your purchases! Also, I'm saying prayers for you and your daddy right now. We lost Mark's precious mama in June. She would have been 99 in July. She always said she wanted to go to sleep and wake up with Jesus . . . which is exactly what she did. I know this is a tough time for you.

  7. That expandable hose is THE BEST!!!!! Gary has one and I absolutely love it. All other hoses should be thrown away.

    As for your Dad, he continues to be in my prayers. My sister is getting calls more frequently about Mama. You and I could well be dealing with our parents' departures at the same time. (she is 99 years old)

  9. I'm so sorry about your dad. A fall at this age is so devastating and I will keep him (and you) in my prayers. I'm glad you've got some good care and help for him. I have that blouse in a fallish pattern and also love it. I might order another, the fit is great!
