Yesterday

Good Morning.....I think I beat all of you awake this morning because no one has visited yet this morning. That is a good thing. Yes, I can see where the hits come from but it doesn't tell me who the hit is. Many times I can figure out who it is and it is a little kind of game I play, "figuring out who is reading". I've noticed I've had several visits from Wisconsin this week. I figure it has to be either my brother or one of my nieces. See? Kind of fun. Then I have this question in my mind each time a visit from Phoenix arrives. Our oldest daughter, who had a birthday this week, doesn't always get to my blog but someone else that lives in Phoenix is a regular. Is it you, Barb???? More fun. Then, there is someone from Memphis that visits every couple of weeks. I think it is the wife of the man we bought Peggy Sue from. My guess is she wants to see the progress on her old trailer. I think of you often when I post pics of Peggy Sue and wonder what you would think if you saw her now. We have had fun with her and haven't really had her out in a park yet. The day is coming soon. Then there are the visits from Grand Rapids and I know that Brenda is there. My heart is full of prayers for you this week. There are people in California that visit often as well and then I wonder. The visitor from the United States is Ken's cousin Marcy and I know when his cousin Carrol has been here, too. If all of would comment on my blogs then I'd have less trouble figuring you out. At any rate...I love the visits from all of you and thank you for being interested in my life. It's a blast. My goal is to point you to God and I know that sometimes I don't meet that goal but I'll keep trying. The goal of my life is to point myself in the same direction...sometimes I succeed and other times I fail like other humans. In the end, we walk this journey together.

So, now, for current news. Jann stayed another night in the hospital and we will see if she can blow that Popsicle stand today. She felt much better last evening. We called everyone we knew that would possibly call her or visit her yesterday and asked them to hold off so she could get some rest. Trish talked about how wonderful people have been just letting her know she is loved. Yesterday, she needed all of us who love her to back off . I think it did it's magic. She felt much better by last evening so we hope she is on her way up now.


Trish and I decided to leave later yesterday and stay with her just a little while around noon. We had to visit her home first to get stuff she had requested. We got everything we needed and headed out the door. Got in Trish's pickup truck and the thing was locked down and wouldn't turn over. Poor kid has had one thing after another this week and she is being pushed closer and closer to the edge. First she asked a couple of neighbors for help and we tried to have it take a jump start. No success so a tow truck was called. When he came he tried to jump it with a power charger and she started so off we went to a repair shop where they put in a new battery. The whole process took a couple of hours so by the time we got to Jann she was wondering where we were. Ugh.

In the midst of this whole Jann episode, Trish has been making two trips a day to see her step dad, who Jann is the care taker for and who was put in a rehab center for the present. Then on the same day as Jann's surgery, a precious dog that Trisha has had for thirteen years died. My heart lamented as she said she crawled in his grate at the vets office to love on him and tell him good bye. Trish said the experience has kept everything in perspective. Buddy is gone but Mom is still here. No contest.

I think this is the first morning here that I am awake before the others. I hear, see and smell no evil outside my bedroom door. Perhaps I can get a shower and be ready before they get up this morning. That would be a good thing. Have a wonderful day, my friends, make God turn His face toward you and grant you His peace.
