BILL IS HOME AND FEELING FINE!!



Well here he is not to bad looking for all he has been through. He came home on Wednesday afternoon feeling tired. A generator outside his window kept him up during the night. He went to bed at 7:30 and slept good until 7 am. He is back to work and even had a closing the next day. If that is what it takes for a closing, maybe I'll see how often I can arrange for him to go to the hospital.JK. He is feeling good and we feel like it is helping his circulation in his legs, cuz last night he even had ankle bones that we could see, and it has been a long time since we have seen those bones sticking out.

I am happy to announce that our telephones, that have been out of service since last Saturday, are now working again and so does our answering machine. So feel free to call.

Thanks to Kristin for finding this quote I love it....

"Anyone who imagines that bliss is normal is going to waste a lot of time running around shouting that he's been robbed. The fact is that most putts don't drop, most beef is tough, most children grow up to be just people, most successful marriages require a high degree of mutual toleration, most jobs are more often dull than otherwise. Life is like an old time rail journey...delays, side tracks, smoke, dust, cinders, and jolts, interspersed only occasionally by beautiful vistas and thrilling bursts of speed. The trick is to thank the Lord for letting you have the ride."

Hope everyone had a good Labor day weekend. Ours has been fast and full of family. We were sad to say good bye to our sweet sister-in-law, Carol Tyler Whetten, but know that she is so happy where she is and free of a failing body. On the other hand we love the wonderful reunions that come with funerals. It was so good to see all of Carol and Lloyds children and their children. It was good to have Arlene, Darrell, Kathy and JoRene here with us for a few days. We enjoyed catching up and Darrell was a good sport...he went with Bill to show houses on Saturday, and then went Home Teaching with him on Sunday. Next time he comes I will reward him with ice cream. So fum to be with family.

I went to a friends mothers funeral on Friday. What a contrast. It was a wonderful funeral. I came away feeling like I really knew her mom, who I had never met, but there was only the 2 daughters and my friends husband there as family, and a few friends. The Paster who was in charge and talked at the service had never even met Barbara. There was no feeling of Hope or Happiness. Makes my appreciate my beliefs so much more, and that there is life after we leave this earth.

I better get busy and get something done. Hope everyone has a good week. Next weekend will be full also, with the blessing of Anny Johnson, and the ordination of Drew as a Deacon....More family food and fun.

Love to All.
