It wasn't lying on the bed that was hard to do but not falling asleep was tempting. Yes, we went to sleep country and if Randy and Sandy go there with us we get a deal. Our server was not pushy but very enthusiastic but could not get dad to lie on a bed. We did a bit of walking around looking at stuff but we tire out quickly and make decisions slowly.
Dad is now attempting to print my blog again. I met Jane at the Safeway and we enjoyed a cup of coffee together. It has been hard for us to get together. We are both cutting back on sending out cards this year.
It is tragic that once again the poor people are still suffering from the massive storm that has destroyed homes and left them with now water and electricity. I am thankful some Canadians went to help with the power, and a young girl is handed out material from a truck, and money has been donated but needs to be put to work. This is when I would like to be rich and famous and strong and could go there to help. I will keep praying for someone to take control of the situation and bring hope to those who have no hope and who are barely surviving.
Miracles have happened like Craig Morison who got lost on a rugged and unreachable mountain and in the end built schools for girls. He had a vision and got others to get caught up in this vision.
I am thankful for people like Bill and Melinda Gates who are committed to improving health and education with their wealth. Technology has improved our world but people have to be willing to get their hands dirty and use what they have to help others.
There will always be people who need a helping hand and we need brave people willing to work for solutions. Too much news about scandals that you hear over and over.
The ducks enjoy the morning light!
Today is grocery shopping, Bible study at the church and maybe visiting.

Which sleep country did you go to? Randy would not try the beds either. Sandra
Sunlight makes everything look more cheerful. (thinking of your photo of the dining area)

Shopping for new mattress's is not an easy thing to do. How can one tell if it really is comfortable....even if you lie on it for a few minutes? I bought 6 battery operated candles today and will give the close family members one each and one for Melodie. They will form a circle of comfort and love for her and reflect back her love for us. They automatically turn on every evening and then off later. She will soon be transferred to a palliative care facility. Such a tough time for us...I will be taking them to her tomorrow when I go and visit with her with Bob. I hope your shopping went well. Love, Nancy
Nice flower arrangement
Bill gates has done a lot of good things with his money.
