Good evening everyone,
I hope that all of you had a wonderful and safe 4th of July. We ended our holiday weekend with a rainy day today.
Tuesday I went to MCV for a regular clinic visit. My dear friend Connie Harper (she went to Mt. Horeb church when Rodney and I went there) took me. It was really good to spend the day with her and get caught up. I got blood work done and then I saw Dr. Toor and he said that everything looks good and right on schedule. He wanted me to get an ultrasound on my legs when I told him that my ankles have been swelling. He was concerned about blood clots. The tech said that everything looked good. Don’t know the reason for the swelling but it has been better since Tuesday. I don’t go back for clinic until August 5.
Wednesday and Thursday I stayed at home and cleaned the house. Wednesday evening I had Rodney’s aunt for dinner. I think that she had a good evening out (she is in a nursing home).
Friday Rodney worked most of the day and I met Jennifer Pence to celebrate her birthday. In the evening we went to Gypsy Hill to a gospel concert. It was a little scary to be out in a crowd but Rodney and I made sure that we didn’t sit where there was a lot of people. I only wore my mask when I felt uncomfortable.
Saturday we worked around the house and at night we went to Harrisonburg to see the fireworks. It was a beautiful night and a lot of people was there but we found a place that was not crowded.
Today was rainy and we went to church and then to visit Rodney’s aunt. We went to lunch and then to run some errands. Tonight Ryan and Jennifer came by to give Rodney his Father’s Day gift. Ryan had strep throat and could not be around me. This is an exciting time for them (Audrey is due this Friday). I know that Ryan is nervous but he keeps telling me that he has everything under control --- we’ll see!!!
Next Sunday we are going to meet Scott and Beth to pick up Libby to bring her home with us. Libby wants to do some “artsy-fartsy” things with Mamaw! This is the first time that I will have her by herself (Grady will be at camp). The following week Scott, Beth and Grady will be here for the big B’water lawn party. Then we will have both Grady and Libby for a week. I am really looking forward to that. God has blessed us with two beautiful and well behaved grandchildren and soon we will add another granddaughter to love.
Have a wonderful week and remember to help others that are less fortunate than you or are going through a difficult time. It will make you feel good. I know that it is always better to give than to receive. Try it and see if you come away being a better person for it.
Love,
Gloria
