This week's highlights:
- Dave installed a fan to pull the hot air out of the furnace room which makes the garage cooler.
- Maddy spent a night with us in the garage.
- I've been able to do a few more things alone, because Jami is here and graciously takes care of Grandpa.
- Jami and I take turns cooking so I don't have to cook every night. I love that!!!!!
- The same applies to cleaning the house.....I don't have to clean it ALL.
- Andrew and Kaiden are so helpful. I have them doing all sorts of chores.
- We helped Geoff celebrate his 34th birthday. We took Oasis cheeseburgers and dined in his office.
- Geoff shared a story* with me from Runner's World about a runner while struggling to care for his ailing and unruly father finds an escape in his daily runs. His four mile runs eventually turned into a marathon. I'm not a runner, but this article did encourage me to find "my escape". (*Mark Levine, "Slipping Away")[-
- It's been a hot week, so I've enjoyed lots of "outside" time in my new favorite chair the kids gave me for Mother's Day. The hammock is taking 2nd place to the chair right now.
- I've planted flowers and a few things in the garden. I still have to get some cabbage plants (my cabbage seedlings didn't make it) and a few more flowers for my 3-tier planter out front. So far, I haven't found the right plant that will flourish in the 3-tier planter.
- Enjoyed lunch on the deck at Pike's with Sandy & Marcia.
- Attended the monthly Beth Moore video class (Breaking Free) at LifePoint. I just learned that Beth Moore is a guest speaker at Catalyst in Atlanta in October.
- God, through the power of Your Holy Spirit, help me to live in harmony with others, be sympathetic, love as a brother or sister, be compassionate and humble. (1 Pet 3:8)
