Friday

 End of the week almost.  Then there is Saturday.  The morning started slowly with breakfast, the paper gathered from the driveway and a garden walk and then a visit from Rita with some delicious beef pot roast.  And I gifted with a huge tomato, sweet peppers and a beef roll for dinner for the Schillings.  We had a great visit with a lot of talk and another garden walk. 


                    By 8:30 she was on her way home and I had time to read the paper with my coffee.  

                            It's time for the cup plant blossoms to have a place in the garden.  

The morning was pretty simple.  I thought it resembled the personal business day escape.  And that kind of day hung around till evening. Tomorrow is a Soup Kitchen Day.  Not a Personal BD for sure. 

            The afternoon shower added a beautiful touch to the rocks in the hens and chicks garden. 

I happened to check my phone calendar seeing that a blood draw was scheduled for today.  Humm.  REALLY?  Yes, really and I found that to be true by taking that short drive to IU North with folks there saying, yes...you are scheduled for a blood draw. So that happened.  The results being that almost all the test results remain a bit wacky that happens with cancer and medication.  If I'm in trouble, I'll get a call. I would suspect the word will be "carry on". 

                                                              Such a bright statement.

There was a lot of time for afternoon sleeping and I took it.  Supper happened and the evening once again was pretty quiet.  

Pictures arrived once again reminding us of the fun we had and still continues at Great Sand Bay on Lake Superior.  Kimmy sent a recording of Loons heard at this spot.


                             Lake Superior, so quiet on this day. Jared and Jacob playing sand engineers.                                                                 Eli and Adam in the water cooler. Kimmy taking pictures.

              A fun family day at the beach.  A dad with his boys while mom records the events of the day.                                                                      This never gets old.

Red sails in the morning, Sailors take warning.   The warning sign was miss thinking about a wonderful day with a gorgeous sunrise, but it turned into anything but wonderful. And after yesterday's blog entry, what was hoped to be a good week had a dismal beginning.  Jared called to tell us that Sunday evening Wyatt, their beautiful red poodle stopped eating and by three in the morning of Monday as Jared was driving to Lancing to the Vet at Michigan State, Wyatt died.  Wyatt was one wonderful dog in every sense of the word.  Smart, friendly, protective with absolute understanding about so many things.  Today and the days ahead will be days of mourning eventually becoming times of reflections about all the good that Wyatt brought to us.  His camping chair is now sitting in our living room reminding us of that goodness he gifted us.  After hearing about this event, I took a walk outside to clear my head and heart and found the first of many crocus bl...

 Another great celebration with family with a few little twists as sometimes families can produce.  But celebrate we did with lots of food and lots of card games and just lots of everything that makes memories.  We're tired and glad to say the celebration as good as it was, is over for another year.  And we're looking forward to seeing what a year from now brings.  Today was a day of picking up the pieces to move into busy December. A bit of Christmas decorating happened at home.                                        The stockings were hung.  At least two you see and three you don't. Heidi carried on with the last-minute things that happen at a busy church when scheduling seems to flop over each other during our absence.  We've scheduled another work morning for tomorrow just to make sure that everything is covered for the rest of th...

Amazing Saturday

Image
 For many reasons it has been an amazing day.  One to remember as long as memory allows me.   Once again sleep did not stick with me, so I was once again out of bed around 1 last night.  I thought of checking the IU Portal for whatever it was going to tell me.  And it did a lot of talking about the scan that happened Wednesday.  The Easter portal news is that all cancer related things seem to be pretty stable with even some slight improvement in one area. Ever so slight but that still is great news.  So. for now, I feel like the stone has been rolled away and new life is with me.  Thanks be to God.  So back to bed and I slept till 6.  I'll take it with Thanksgiving.  Breakfast came and the clock proved it was time to leave for Church to get a jump on Easter visuals before the crew arrived.                 New members Hannah and Andrew working in the chapel with the lamb and...
