I'm so glad it was so much fun. I hope you all laughed lots. But I am positive you did--this is such a rare and wonderful group of people.

I hope you all have a blast! I was going to try to go, but the timing for hubby's hospital treatments didn't work. Maybe next time. I think it is amazingly wonderful that you all are getting together.

Hi Joni. We're doing well here. Looking forward to Spring and getting into the garden. How are you doing these days? Any happy moments at all or are you still numb?

Hi Joni--Like your new picture! you look great. I hope things are going ok for you--you are a strong person but you have been through so much--you deserve happiness!

Thank you so much. This quote is always where i want to be.

Wisdom from Oswald Chambers:

The great thing about faith in God is that it keeps a man undisturbed in the midst of disturbance.
Notes on Isaiah, 1376 R

Christmas was quiet, but pleasant. I am looking forward to Spring--more daylight and flowers. I hope you stick around and share some of your good heart and experience.

Hey Joni--don't you look beautiful in that photo! Nice to see you here. I imagine this Christmas was tough for you. I hope the pain lessens soon.

Hi Joni,
I'm going to see our youngest son's Christmas pageant at his school tonite. He's in third grade. I'm starting to panic because the twins have their first ever high school exams next week. Our son has been having a hard time adjusting to high school. I think he's been worried alot about my dad and that is a little bit of the problem. The first time he's smiled in a long time was when he saw my dad again. I'm so glad to see my dad again but it is so hard seeing him decline. He's losing strength in his arms now and hands and it's upsetting him. He just lights up though when my kids come over. Have you started painting again yet? I think it would be good for you. Take care, Kim

Hi Joni,
Thinking of you. Saw they you were recently logged on and wanted to say Hi. My dad is now back at his home for at least awhile. Luckily, we have a family friend who has agreed to live with dad and to be his full-time caretaker. My husband and I will also do all they we can also to help out. Dad has wonderful neighbors who will run errands and sit with him as well when needed. Take care, Kim
