Wow, it has been two weeks since my last post; where does the time go? As you saw in the last post we are making strides in changing the looks of the old home front. This Saturday was spent working in the yard trying to make more changes. Also because our small group was meeting at our house today I needed to make sure things looked neat around the old homestead, bosses orders. The nice thing is that i really like working around the yard and making things look good, I just need a little motivation. What better motivation than trying to make the love of my life happy; and Fozzy loved the yard. Just kidding folks.

Actually it was great to hear Kim say that she could see my plan for the yard and it was starting to come together. I have some neat flower beds starting and if i could just get some grass to grow we would be finished. Alright we wouldn't be finished but that would be enough for this season. I am determined that this year we are going to enjoy the beauty around us and spend more time with family and wherever God may lead us.

It has been a wonderful couple of weeks since my last blog. Work has actually been pretty good. There is still enough projects going on that i am involved in. The stores are doing really well considering the economic times. Don and i are able to spend time together at work mostly doing moves and such, but at least we get to spend time together. I am looking forward to the nice weather when we will be able to ride our bikes together to work. The days have been great but the mornings have been a bit cool; alright i'm a woos.

On April 9 i went for my regular blood test, IVIG and checkup and i am still in remission. I praise God for the miracles of modern science and His grace. From what i have been told, ten or fifteen years ago i would not be a survivor at this stage of my cancer. Because the numbers were good i don't have to go for my next checkup, IVIG till July. I'll let you know where we are at that time and your prayers are definitely coveted.

We had a great day today. Our church service was wonderful and we were able to get together with our small group at our house and i don't think anyone even noticed the work i did around the yard. We had a great time of fellowship and i got to take a short nap in the afternoon. Of course there were many things i could have done, but name one that would have been better than a nap on cloudy Sunday afternoon. Besides, Fozzy was feeling neglected and he needed a little quality time, which for him is laying on your lap while you rest, read or whatever.

I am looking forward to another great week. I have a loving wife, a nice home, a job, great health, wonderful family and a God who only wants the best for me. We have a lot coming up in the next month with birthdays, weddings, family visits, pool parties and so much more. I will try to be a bit more diligent in keeping up with my blogs. I guess it doesn't really matter if anyone else reads these ramblings but it helps me to focus. If you happen to stumble on this non literary compilation of letters i hope it somehow brightens your day. Till next time.

  1. omg daddy, i miss you so much!! I love reading your "non literary compilation of letters" and check all the time for more. I can not wait to see you in two months nor can the kids. And i for one think that the yard looks better without the slide with the addition all the nice rocks and plants. I was brought to tears of thankfulness to God when i read about your continued remission. We diffinately are a blessed family! I can't wait to move closer to you. I love you--Michele

  2. My Husband, I love the way you write...or should I say, "rite" ha! I agree with Michele, the slide garden looks oh so much better than the slide. And...yes, I do see the "plan" you have for the lawn and I love it. Mostly, I love that you are planning to make our home more lovely...but also design plantings that require less mantainence so we can have more "family" time, which is so precious! Life is good, and I am so thankful for you. I love you, KB
