Musings....

So it has been a month + since posting anything at all! The first part of this I was so tired and spent I was so weak! Then learned the hct was way down again! I am so smart...(?) Leg cramps all night, yellow cast to palms, pale skin, shaking, bruising blah blah. So the Rx Iron and Vit C, mega supplements, rest rest rest has paid off! I am almost all recovered. After a couple weeks of this nonsense, I HAD to start getting stuff done. The yard is so great, and it has been neglected for a couple of summers. So the sprinklers are almost complete in the back, one section to go. There was trim to paint and weeds and thatching the grass with the power rake.
We stripped, sanded and stained the deck. Planted the beds by the downstairs patio, built a lil privacy fence down there, built flower boxes, washed windows, killed wasps and washed siding.
So I would go work, then rest a few, work, rest etc all day and then collapse into bed. I got so tired I did not want to talk. But as all this working strengthens me, I get stronger and stronger.
Two weekends ago (First of June)we went to Denver for a few days. Tom had a lot to do for Landmark Education, (and I helped!). Then he made a choice: he completed and then resigned from The Seminar Leader Program! Of course, he will be involved in Landmark in other ways. He can make a difference in people's lives in many ways. We decided we want our efforts and time spent more with and for our kids! He has not seen much of the kids or grandkids for the last 3 years! Those kids grow too fast! I am surprised by how much he has been around! With his office here now, it is crazy! Last week, and yesterday he worked on the yard! Hooray! Then we went to see Tom/Shari et al for the Father's Day weekend.


This is going to be fun, and I keep being amazed! He will actually get some golf in! The move south is still on, and the house will be up for sale in a week or 2! So get ready to meet my new friend....Tom! And I can get ready to see so much of kids and grandkids they will be so sick and tired of the gramkracker!
Some big changes in store for our lives and I am excited! More to come!

I'm bad at checking blogs...it's good to catch up on your last few posts. Those birds in your wreath are crazy!

I'm glad we'll be seeing you more, too. Please come see us in California any time! We're a ways from Monterey, etc., but much closer than from Smithfield.

Much love,
Joe
