A Little Bit of Life


Good morning all.  The rains have certainly cooled off of those 100 degree July days.  They are saying the over 100 days are over for the summer, but seeing is believing.  The weekend we did skip off to the cabin again for some R&R.  It was nice to hear the rain on the metal roof Saturday/Sunday morning.  Our usual weekend group all got together on Friday evening for a Mexican dinner and chit-chat in the cool of a cabin.  It's been awhile since we had nearly everyone together, and everyone, I mean who's left.  In our little gathering group we've lost 3 in the past three years, two just this year.  It does not feel good and brings me to tears a lot.  The past couple of weeks we've had two funerals one of our cabin friends and one long time friend who lost her battle with breast cancer.  I guess as you get older this is bound to happen but really they were all too young.  It's a bit scary, especially since I've been battling this unknown throat monster and not sure what is actually going on with it.  If it's allergies then good, nothing more, but there's always the nagging thing in the back of my brain that says, "could be more!"  Honestly so tired of not having a voice most of the time and the pain in my glands causes me to lose sleep a lot.  

Painting has been not been the forefront of my mind but did get this little gem done a couple of weeks ago.  I'm working on some more things but I've had the older grand, Snicklefritz a lot with me the past couple of weeks with a couple more to go before she is back in school.  It's just been so hot I've not wanted to get out much and I've been avoiding the air, just in case it is allergies that are being triggered.  I did finally have lunch a long awaited lunch with my sweet brother on Friday and we plan on doing it sooner than later again.  It was nice to visit with him.  

Just not a lot on my mind yet there is a lot on my mind.  We have the impending surgery coming up with our baby Max and that is on everyone's mind.  He's doing well in the hospital where he will be till the surgery and after a bit.  Sure do want him home and life to get into a regular life routine for EVERYONE! Soon, very soon.
