Today, I got out the bow saw and cut down a shrub that is overgrown and in the way of an emerald green abvoritae. I cut back my butterfly bush while I was at it. I put the trimmings out at the curb by the middle tree but the wind blew them closer to the driveway. I’ll have to weight them down with some branches that fell in the back yard.
I made some chili today. I used ground turkey. Although I like ground turkey for meat loaf, the chili is just not the same. It’s is better than Bush’s chili that I tried a couple weeks ago. Yuk!
I watched my movie tonight. It was the Brother’s Grimm. I also watched Rainman on PBS. They are the only channel I can get that shows movies without commercials. They took the other two away. Someone told me I‘d get them back when they switch over to digital. I hope so.
I started reading another of my books that I got at the Library sale. James A. Michener’s Chesapeake. I am on the first chapter and I am enjoying it. Now to get back to it.
News from the Vorlon Wife.
How very heartbreaking for the family that lost their son to a car accident at age 20. Not knowing the how and why will always be a source of discontent for them. I will keep them in my thoughts and prayers. They will wonder if the tears will ever stop. That is what Dave and I felt when our 24 year old Andrea died so tragically. Life seems like it is turned completely upside down when death takes our loved ones so quickly. We're left to wonder for the rest of our days. The comfort comes from knowing they are in their Heavenly Home for Eternity. And, for reasons unknown to us, God needed them more than we did. But, it surely tests our faith. I know you and Ted's parents felt very much the same when Ted died. He was such a contributing person to others while he was here. He didn't smoke or abuse his body, he loved his Lord, and so what can possibly be the reason he had to leave you? We must really stretch and trust the Lord during these awful and painful times. However, my heart aches for the family of the young man - my heart aches for you and Ted's parents and our hearts ache from losing our Andrea.
Our snow seems to have lessened, but, the cold surely remains. It was about 7 degrees this morning when we left for church. Dave started the van before we left and it felt so much better than climbing in when it is so cold. After church we went with four other couples to dinner at a local restaurant. The fellowship is good for us. And, I'm so thankful you meet with friends from your various groups and friends from church for the fellowship.
You always accomplish so much. And, we always think we don't do enough, but to me, you do very very well Karol. David and I worked on our closets this past week. We got rid of a lot and also reorganized what we kept. The closets look so much better. Now, if we can only keep them that way. Hoping your week is very good for you Karol. With love and friendship, Ruth
