A Few Random Ramplings

Hey! Do you know that if you leave a To Do list (which is "lost" on the computer unless you want it) alone long enough that when you get back to it most everything is done or no longer important????!!! Yup. Says something about things we think are vital to be done!!! I haven't looked at it since August and mostly things got done; some are ongoing that I had to leave on and some just were silly. So now on to the vital things of today.

Haven't done enough things worthy of posting lately. My whole life has been wrapped up in planning a Bereavement Camp for elementary kids--our first at Hospice-and it is fun, but takes a vast amount of work. Our Green River Hospice team has been so very much helped by the hospice in Henderson. St. Anthony's has done one for 15 years and this year's was awesome (they let me come). Jennifer, who runs theirs, has been fabulous in helping and giving ideas along the way. They start a year ahead of time planning for the next one. I have had 3 months but lots of help from them so..... next week it happens. I feel good about how it is going together and how the community has jumped in to help. The precious lady whose horse farm we wanted to use got very sick and really couldn't have done it but still wanted to (and would have if I had pushed it, she was so sweet) but instead led us to her church to see if we could borrow some game equipment. Well, instead, they provided their entire buildingfor our use. About that time, I found out that that church's minister for the sick is a friend from the hospital and so she and I have re connected and are working together on this program.

Not only did the church provide their building, they have paid for an hour of play for all of our kids in their Fun4Kids playscape located inside the church (Can't wait to take the grandkids when they come!)!! They also are sponsoring the coming of the "Wiener Dog Lady" who has daschunds used for therapeutic play. She has songs, stories, and the famous-around here anyway-Woody the Daschund and his pals. She is an awesome lady and is giving us a break in finances too. And has some goodies for the kids. I wish I knew the magic way to put her website link on here but if you want to know about her, give me a comment or call and I will let you know.

Now I need to go plan games and dig up my flower garden. The weeds are above my head in some spots. No time. We had rain so the new mums I planted may grow afterall. the Dad has watered them some and so did I last weekend when I planted them but not since. We need more rain.

Prayer Request: my friend Carol who had surgery for a 4th, I think, primary cancer. She did well with a partial lung removal but had a stroke. Is doing very well but still needs a lot of prayer as she rehabs.

Also, Good Old Mother: she is being moved to rehab. in Kokomo for which we all are grateful but she is getting up there. Is seeing lots of angels lately.

God bless you all.
