It was a quiet week around here.  No doctor appointments ~ just day to day stuff like laundry and grocery shopping.  

On Monday Claire Ellen Willenbrecht will be 17.  I was there when Jennifer went to the hospital to deliver her.  I took Sarah to meet her.  I went to almost all of the birthdays until they turned eight.  After that they don’t seen to care as much if Magra is there.  Claire is a beautiful young woman.  I wish I was going to be there.

After a week of being sick, today was a good day.  I finished a craft project and Buck let me help him with the doghouse roof.  Whatever that virus was knocked me for a loop for sure!  Gotta be feeling good for our trip, I’m assuming I will do most of the driving ~ and that will be A LOT.  I wanted to make this trip but not bam bam bam.  I wanted it to be a leisurely drive with sightseeing stops.  Something tells me that’s NOT going to happen.  

And now there is a war in Israel and threats in and to America.  What will the future hold?  I pray for peace and strength.  I pray to be brave for those that lean on me.

Almost Halloween…. Trunk or Treat is happening at church ~ we won’t do it because we don’t have children at home.  We SHOULD do it anyway just for fun.

Monday Buck saw his podiatrist, Tuesday we saw his urologist, and Wednesday he saw his dentist.  WHEW!  Last night he came down with a virus that kept him in the bathroom most of the night ~ when he wasn’t sleeping.

Today Buck mapped our drive to California next month.  I reserved our rooms along the way.  It’s going to be worth the drive to see Jakob and Katie get married.

It’s been an okay week.  Monday was a doctor appointment in Birmingham ~ Thursday was a doctor appointment in Jasper.  Buck got a shot in his knee and he has been wired ever since ~ NOT GOOD… not sleeping and jittery.  I hope he NEVER gets a shot like that again.  

On the up side ~ we got some of the work done on the boat, part of the gutters cleaned, and I got to watch Briggs play soccer while chatting with Greyson on the sideline.   


Veteran’s Day in America Buck and Chuck were Navy Seabees,  Their dad was Navy Fleet.  Apparently VERY different.  Had to get some work done...
