Greetings to all, hope that you had a wonderful and safe 4th of July. Does this mean that summer is almost over?
I am sorry that I have not blogged for soooo long but I was on vacation for two weeks and when we got back last Sunday my computer was not cooperating. I could not get my cursor to move and it was very frustrating. I had to wait on my tech support son to come home to get me going again- thanks Scott!
We did not get home until 4:30 am last Sunday and we slept in until noon and then we went to the nursing home to see Rodney’s aunt. She suffered a stroke while we were gone. I am not sure but I like to think that she realized that we were there. She looked so uncomfortable. We got a call from the home at 8:30 that night that she had died. She is now at peace.
This has been a busy and crazy week with getting funereal arrangements made and getting Aunt Louise’s things out of her room. I was on the phone all day Monday. Tuesday I cleaned the house and unpacked and washed two weeks of laundry. Wednesday I kept Audrey and helped with the VBS meal at church. Thursday I took Rodney’s mother to Charlottesville for a doctors appointment. She is scheduled for surgery on right eye in August. Friday the family came in and we had the funereal and a meal at church afterward. It was a beautiful day and the service was short and very nice.
Saturday all of Rodney’s family came in-they came from as far away as Texas, Florida and North Carolina. Rodney’s brother did a magic show for the children – we were ALL amazed. We had a photographer there to take pictures. It was another beautiful day. As we were leaving the reunion we saw a big black bear run across the road in front of us.It was one of those ahhh moments.
Today we went to church and after lunch Scott and family left for home. Rodney and I went to Staunton’s Gypsy Hill Park for a gospel concert (Ivan Parker and Brian Free). It was a little warm but it was a wonderful concert.
This will be another busy week for me. I feel that I am so far behind and I don’t see much time to catch up. Tomorrow I keep Audrey for a couple of hours and on Tuesday I go to MCV for a clinic visit. Saturday or Sunday we will go get Grady and Libby to keep them for the week and then on to the beach for a week. i guess that things will just have to wait until I get around to it!
Take care and thanks for your patience. Have a wonderful week. Make the most of your time because you won’t get it back. Make someone smile.
Love,
Gloria
