October 10

Happy Birthday Little Brother...thats him on the right. He turned 51 today if i am not mistaken.

The weather here is cooler than i would like but it is almost mid October.

I would like to share a verse the Lord has laid on my heart today.

Psa 143:8 Cause me to hear thy lovingkindness in the morning; for in thee do I trust: cause me to know the way wherein I should walk; for I lift up my soul unto thee.

September 29th

Well today is my son Bryans 33 birthday. It is also his badge # on the police force.

Tomorrow is my last radiation treatment on my scalp and i am thankful for this as the radiation has somewhat affected my appetite. Hopefully this will improve soon.
Dry heaves are not fun at anytime and especially when you first get up in the morning. I trust the treatments and Gods healing hand will bring complete healing to that area.

I also celebrated my birthday this past week. I enjoyed time with both family and friends. Life is so precious and i am thankful to have been blessed with another year.

We are planning another trip west and looking forward to time with our daughter and family. I sure do miss my grandbabies.

Have a great week everyone.

September 15th 2008

Well it certainly has been a long time since i posted anything. I have enjoyed my summer and its been busy.

My son Bryan got married July 12th to Azucena and we had the kids here from Washington for a few days for that celebration.

I do have another health issue to deal with as a lesion on my scalp has been diagnosed as another matatasis from the cancer. I will see a radiologist tomorrow for a consultation to set up treatment. I am still doing chemotheraphy on a weekly basis with three weeks on and one week off.

Our church voted on a new pastor who will be with us in early October. We are excited about that.

This past weekend my brother and Bernice were up from Florida to do some cycling in Vermont and we got to spend sometime with them.

I will try to do at least a weekly update here to keep friends and family informed as to whats going on in my life. Please pray for me to be strong in the Lord and to continue to trust him and be a witness.

Look at that smile...



This is Kierstyns friend Owen or Owie as she calls him. He seems to think babies are lots of fun.

Thankful Friday

Psalm 103: 1 - 5

1 Bless the LORD oh my soul: and all that is within me bless his holy name.

2 Bless the LORD, O my soul, and forget not all his benefits:

3 Who forgiveth all tne iniquites: who healeth all thy diseases;

4 Who redeemeth thy life from destruction; who crowneth thee with lovingkindness
and tender mercies;

5 Who satisfieth thy mouth with good things; so that thy youth is renewed like
the eagle's.

Rencently i have had so many blessings to count and give thanks for. My health continues to stay stable and i feel stronger. Tom and i had a wonderful visit with Alaine and Rob and our two precious grandkids. I even got to experience first hand
the birth of Brody. What a miracle birth is.

Even though we are without a pastor currently our church is doing well and trusting the Lord.

In just three weeks we will see our son married to a sweet Christian gal and are thankful for Gods blessing and his safety he gives Bryan on the job.

This is my friend Grace and her three boys, Rich, Ben and Brad.





We attended the wedding of Ben and Amiee Lewis this past Saturday. I have known Ben since he was about four years old. Hes a great Christian guy and a blessing to all who know him. I pray he and Aimee have a wonderful life as they serve the Lord together.

I just love my baby Brody...



Just sharing a few pics of Kierstyn and my new grandson Brody Robert.
As you can she Kierstyn thinks its great fun being a big sister. She is quite inthralled with him and a big help to mommy.
