Down the road...

What beautiful weather we've been having. It's been so wonderful to feel the warmth of the sun and being able to be outside and enjoy it. We've been able to go swimming and scootering. It's really been great.

Sherrianne is attending a performing arts camp for two weeks. She really enjoys it. It gives both of us a break, which is really wonderful. They have the performance this Friday-the 18th. I'm sure that it will be just awesome!

Mike's brother Jason and hopefully his girls will be here on Thursday--he has had a rough year and a half, so it will be good for us to see him and hopefully we'll be able to encourage him and help him to laugh. He has the BEST laugh--he's someone that laughs with his whole body.

My dad is not doing well--after a third stay in the hospital (in less than 1 month), the doctor told him he needed to go to a nursing home--dad is really not happy about that. But, he really does need to have someone with him at all times. He falls easily and quite frequently and now has had bouts of vomiting and then being unresponsive. He has probably had 4 strokes that we know of, and I'm sure many TIA's that we have no clue about. He's speech is very slurred and it's easier if you just ask yes or no questions. It's hard to see your parents health decline, but it is made easier because you know that when he dies he'll be in Heaven. He has really missed mom. She's been gone for 6 1/2 years, it's been very hard on him. If God brings him to your mind, would you pray for him, that when God is ready for him to come home that it will be easy and not painful. Pray also for Sherrianne, this is her first death of someone who is close to her. She has been to other funerals, but she didn't really know them as well. This will be very hard for her.

We're going to have a busy week coming up, my niece will be coming to visit for a couple of days, which will be very fun for Sherrianne. It's always fun for her to have someone visit. As I know, it sometimes stinks being an only child!!

Life continues on even if we'd like to stop and rest. Remember when you get to that point, fall into God's arms, he's more than willing to carry you!

Love to all!
