In the Storm

fixin' the van l digital layout

our van is fixed again. yippee! our poor, dilapitated 1996 van has held strong over the years. it has gotten us where we need to go, with a few hiccups along the way. this passed hiccup had us stumped for awhile but hoosier man figured it out and decided he could fix it himself. and he did. with the assistance of his handyman son, john. hoosier man directed, instructed, and trained and john did most of the work. he even had to fix a mistake before he could proceed. great lessons learned.

our back side doors are fixed also. hoosier man ordered some parts to fix it but he ended up having to jerry-rig a fix on top of the new parts. another success! our side door is fixed. it now opens, opens from the outside and from the inside.

i wanted to thank you...

and so began words expressed by hoosier man last night when he came home...i hadn't thanked you for supporting me and i want to now...it's been a really hard week and you have supported me and encouraged me...thank you...

and can we go on a date friday night...

yes!

Zipline

 
 
 

 

Last week Jeff and I drove out early evening to Wilmington Island to the YMCA to look at a paint ball range that one of the Boy Scouts wants to refurbish for his Eagle project. While we were there Jeff showed me where he and the Georgia Boys camped last month one-overnighter and also the Rock Wall, Ropes Course, and where the Zipline was located. I was amazed at the height and steepness of the rockroll, the length they had to 'zip' along a line, and how high up Jarrod was on the ropes course. Jeff hadn't taken any pictures (he forgot the camera) but one of the scouts dad always has his camera with him and always gets plenty of pictures. I was able to make a whole page of just the Zipline. The other two pages are the rock wall endeavors of the boys.

Unphotographable

This is a photo I did not take of my medicine on the counter waiting for me every morning. Both pills are out of their package because my Hoosier Man knows how hard it is for me to get the one medicine out of the little foil package. So he does it for me.
