THE PARTY

 

It was not a big cake, it was not a chocolate cake, but it was the right size lemon cake.  It took several tries to blow out the candles.

It was a fun party and did dad a world of good.  Love was expressed in the cards he received and the food that was brought.

Today was a day to rest and be happy.

                                   Spenser has many good friends.  A sunny afternoon for a walk.

We are facing unpredictable outcomes in the tests that dad will be having.  I wish we would hear when they are scheduled.  We can experience internal growth from circumstances that are unpredictable.

We have a lot to be thankful for especially all the good years and the stories that dad continues to tell with each memory.

Dad had a pretty good day today.  He took Spenser for a very short walk.  Rick has been working hard at work and at cooking supper.  

Dad cleaned up!

Dad just brought my pill up that I forgot to take.  Bladder infections are miserable.  Thanks dad.!

ENERGY

Running a little low on energy.

Very windy on our walk this morning.

 It is good when the wind pushes you along ,not so good when you have to fight it.

So thankful that Rick likes to cook.  Came home from my afternoon walk to the park and preparations for supper where well on the way.

Thankful that dad likes to clean up and does such a good job.

We all enjoyed watching Heartbeat.  Romance is now in the air.

Looking forward to Sandra and Randy coming over with Carol and Panteli.  They are bringing the birthday supper with them.

Sunday  do some serious reading starting with the gospel of Mark.

His gospel is about the way and how Jesus is the one who shows us the wat.

Why is religion such a taboo subject?

For me it has given my energy and  my inspiration to see life in a more meaningful way. 

 

AWESOME

Dad's birthday started out miserable but ended with joy.

He had a wonderful time hearing birthday wishes from

Ken, Mary, Theresa. Stephen. Shandel and Cameron.

Also some friends also called.

What an awesome supper we had when Carol and Panteli arrived with lots of good food.

Even some cheesecake!

After supper and opening presents we had a lively discussion about the Bible.

Who believes in Adam and ?Eve?

All  know is that there are some interesting points to the story.  Men are easily tempted by beautiful ladies, our minds can think evil thoughts, even without a snake, and we exist by hard work and effort.

I am finding it hard to concentrate.  

I am getting some antibiotics '

Looking forward to a brighter day to-morrow.

 

WHAT'S UP

No news is good news until we get the news.

Dr. Lee has phoned and dad has what maybe a small growth on his pancreatus. 

He has to have a MRI and she is referring him to another doctor.

I hope they can do this quickly.

A BIG  WORRY1 1

 

SIGNS

A busy day for us all.  Dad went shopping and I cleaned up.  Rick talked to a person about his new job.  /they had a long discussion and he appeared to be happy after.  He then cooked a big supper of chicken stir-fry for us.  It was very tasty.  He went to bed early and so did we.

On Heart Beat some one turned all the road signs around and every one was getting lost.

We look for signs to help us find our way.  I have this big urge to unclutter everything.  For me a simple life is best.  It helps me to feel more spiritually grounded.  Prayer helps me to cope and find the strength of mind to take a day at a time, moment by moment.

To-morrow I am getting my hair cut which is good.
 

THOUGHTFUL

I was reminded again today of how thoughtful everyone is in our family.

Carol came and picked up Rick and took him to get his hair cut.

He is looking much better.

It was worth getting tired.

I have made many new and caring friends when I am walking Spenser.  He likes them too.  Today one of them gave me books to read and a new jacket.  It was an old jacket she thought would be warmer for me.  /she had gotten a new one and was wanting to give this to some one.  

Yes my old jacket was looking very sad and now I have three jackets.  Sandra very thoughtfully picked out for me.  Sad my old one is not even good enough to donate.  It was well worn.

Panteli picked up several cookies from the Wood N Frog for me that I like.  Thank you for being thoughtful too.

Dad picked up hamburgers from Brown's for our supper tonight. Both he and Rick enjoyed them and I had my cowboy salad.  Very thoughtful!

I never know when my day begin how many kind and thoughtful words I will hear or read or kindness I will receive.  

Thoughtful words and deeds mean a lot to me.

I have so much to be thankful for/1

 

SNOWY

Kids playing at wade Road Park

Good to see the children having fun.

                                                    It snowed all day.

                                                      My favorite little book nook.

   

                                                                       The way home

                  

                                                            Can you see the snow falling.

Very pretty, very cold.

Good to have a visit from Randy and Sandy.  Thanks for picking up some food for us.

Thanks for laughing with us.  Sometimes we forget life can be funny.

Good to talk to Kim.  She is going to have their new place ready for when Hamlet comes home.  

Praying for an amazing recovery!
