Refreshing Oasis
Yesterday was quite busy. I had to go to my neighbor’s house in the morning to feed her adorable little dog one last time. She arrived home late yesterday afternoon. After I fed Keno, I did laundry. Later in the afternoon I ran to… Continue Reading “Refreshing Oasis”
Death Blinked
Today I think that sun is shining brighter, the sky is bluer, and the autumn leaves are more colorful than ever before. I feel weak with relief. My spirit is trembling with relief. My legs feel as if they can barely hold me up.… Continue Reading “Death Blinked”
Thank You All!
We got to the hospital earlier than scheduled this morning, but as soon as we checked in the nurse said that Jared was a priority and they got him immediately prepped for the surgery without waiting for the scheduled time of his surgery. He… Continue Reading “Thank You All!”
In the Night
We are all sleeping fitfully this night. JJ fell asleep on the couch as soon as we got home from a whirlwind day of medical exams and tests. He has been video-chatting with a friend across the country. He is actually handling this quite… Continue Reading “In the Night”

Today is my birthday. I am <mumble, mumble> years old. 🙂 For my birthday gift, EJ is going to build floor-to-ceiling book shelves along one wall of our living room. I can’t wait. We have an upstairs room stuffed with books; it will be… Continue Reading “My Birthday Gift”
Enjoyable Temptations
This was one of those days when I was busy from sunrise to sunset. However, it was an enjoyable busy and an enjoyable day. I woke just before 7:30 a.m. and immediately started making challah bread. I knew we had errands to run, so… Continue Reading “Enjoyable Temptations”
Autumn Projects
Yesterday morning EJ and I got another load of firewood from our friend RB’s place. We just put the wood into the back of the pickup truck rather than try to pull the trailer home. Today’s wood was heavier–we took the lighter pieces… Continue Reading “Autumn Projects”
The Apple Thief
After JJ left for school and we had eaten breakfast and cleared a bit of sleepiness from our heads, EJ and I drove to our friend RB’s place in the country to get a load of the firewood that he said we could have.… Continue Reading “The Apple Thief”
