Tuesday

 Today was another busy day.  What made it even busier was the fact that I couldn't remember the time for a Y class to meet.  Up until today I have been 15 minutes late.  Today I was off a whole hour.  Dah!

So, after the morning stuff at home, I made an early appearance.  Of course, I filled the hour partly on the Treadmill and partly on the NuStep.  Then it was balance class time with a body that whispered..."what are you doing to me".  I didn't pay much attention to the voice but had a good workout morning times three.  For the fourth time which was scheduled, I sprinted out the door.  Enough was enough.  

Home for 15 minutes for lunch and then I dropped Doug off at I U North for his monthly shot. I went on to church for a meeting with Darren and two other folks that are helping somewhat with his move toward a Doctorate Degree.  

Then it was back north to pick up Doug at I U North and HOME we came.  But not for long for me. The refrigerator was bare of yogurt and berries and a few more things that I depend on for lunch and breakfast.  The last B Berries yesterday tasted fuzzy and better checking this morning proved to be absolutely true. Aldi's got my attention and I moved on to Kroger's for coffee filters we use keeping both of us happy.  Home again and thank goodness it was supper time with pull out things from the freezer.  There is a church supper tonight.  Thank goodness we are eating at home.  Yes, chicken soup for the soul with cornbread, mostly for Doug. I need to remember to put butter on the table.  A must for Doug!  Today was full of running and the chair is going to feel mighty good tonight whenever I get to it.  

I spent a little time with the shovel and hibiscus and liberated the last roots with the hope the bush now can fit once again in that spot.  I call this a reduction in size operation.  

I am so grateful for days like today, adding tons of gratitude for energy to keep up with all of the running.  Woo.  My body is whispering...could tomorrow be a little gentler on me?  The answer is...we'll see. Hope springs eternal, you have heard.

Amazing Saturday

 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...

 Back home again in Indiana.  That's where we were arriving late afternoon yesterday after a wonderful time with Jared, Kimmy and the grandsons adding Kimmy's many relatives to our visit.  It was just what I needed.                                                         Happy times but good grief.  What's with the hair, girl?      We arrived late at the Jared/Kimmy Russell home Thursday afternoon again rediscovering family again along with many free-range chickens, three cats, joe, the horse, three ducks four ewes and Eli's sheep for this year's 4-H entry.  Numerous goldfish would join us later in the week.       This is Eli's friend Hope holding renamed Barb because her nest was found hidden in the rhubarb.             ...

Monday

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...
