Update on CEMO: We meet with the neurooncologist today at 9:00 am pacific time to discuss treatment. If you have a moment, please offer up a prayer to God for a miracle for my husband.

The following post was written prior to CEMO’s illness.  I wanted to share it with you this week.  This is the last of my summer looks from our retirement vacation.  I hope to be back at my machine soon.  If I can find some time to get a few photos taken, I have exciting news to share with you next week or the following week.

Happy Wednesday!

Well, today I thought I would share one more of my vacation dresses, along with a few more location photos.  We spent three days in Prague, Czech Republic before starting our river cruise.  Prague is a lovely place to visit.  I would definitely like to go back when my husband is healed because there were places I’d like to see that we had to miss due to his limited mobility.  Here’ a quick video view from our stateroom.

One night in Prague, we went to a Cuban restaurant by recommendation.  What?!  Yeah, that’s what we thought, but it was really good and the place was packed.  On another night we enjoyed a folklore dinner and entertainment.  Here’s a photo of half our group at the folklore dinner.  The other half enjoyed a different restaurant on this night.  We all had such a good time.

Now how about this dress?  Although I’m not a big fan of the high-low trend, I’m digging this one.  I love the halter with the flounce.  I used another rayon knit that I picked up from Michael Levine Fabrics in Downtown, Los Angeles.

Create the look!

Thanks for stopping by!

Remember:  When you live in your DESIGN, it is from there that God SHINES!

    ?Hi Anita. By His stripes we are healed (past tense). The healing has taken place. Tell CEMO to walk in it! Speak those things that are not as though they were. If you all are feeling weak-say I’m strong in Jesus Name. If you’re feeling defeated- No weapon formed against me shall prosper. Speak the Word, give your faith a job and let it work. Jesus is our Rock and our strong Foundation. Stand on His Word and keep your hands in His hand. Continually praying for you all my sew sister!

    1. Anita Morris

      Yes! Yes! Yes! Amen! Thank you!
