Well, I got up this morning and went for a nice bike ride. It was just a little over 12 miles and I did it in 1 hour and 3 minutes. I was pleasantly surprised at how well the old legs worked, and I managed to keep a relatively steady pace for the entire hour, though there were some stops due to traffic signals. There were enough hills to provide me with a little work, but those hills also have a down side... ;-)

Jason was asleep when I left and still asleep when I returned. Of course it was still only 09:05 when I got back so we still had plenty of day left to take care of all the stuff we wanted to do. We were ready to head out to go look at some property, later in the morning, and decided to go grab a brunch, since it was on the way. When we got to the property we were surprised, to say the least. The large lot was zoned commercial and there were no houses even remotely close. Of course on the good side, there was a railroad crossing going right past one end of the property. It could have been worse... it could have been going through the property. I suggested to Jason that we contact a Realtor before we do any more "looking."

Tomorrow Jason has formation, so we need to get up and going by 07:30. Not much else happened around the house and we just had chili dogs for dinner. They were the Costco Dogs, so they were pretty good sized, and we had extra buns that needed to be used. Thank you, for all your continued support and prayers. Take care and stay positive.

    Praying!
    John 11:25-27 Jesus said unto her, I am the resurrection, and the life: he that believeth in me, though he were dead, yet shall he live: And whosoever liveth and believeth in me shall never die. Believest thou this? She saith unto him, Yea, Lord: I believe that thou art the Christ, the Son of God, which should come into the world.

10 Alive Day (10 Years after the blast)

 Wow! It has been 10 years today, that Jason was injured and despite all the expectations from the medical folks, he's still alive and as positive and active as ever. Most of you are aware that he is into sled-hockey and that we haven't been able to get out and play for over a year now. There is a positive side to all this, though, as the timing of the shut downs and the length of the pandemic. It began just as Jason's team (the Ducks) was getting ready to go to the championship tournament, in Philadelphia, when everything was shut down. This meant that because they were defending champions they simply maintained the title. Then the following season was cancelled so the third year they have kept the title as well... trouble is that no- body wants to keep it that way. They would rather be out there on the ice and having some real games and doing what they do best... PLAY HOCKEY! We do understand now, that the games are very likely to begin again soon, so everybody is doing t

I know I haven't been keeping up with the blog and posting as often as I said I would, but I guess that's what happens when the days really do start to seem more normal, and don't feel like there is much to update about. Then when there is something exciting going on, by the time I can get to the blog I'm pretty well worn out for the day and then I'm slow to get to it afterward. Well, I will continue to provide updates, as I can and we'll just have to see where it takes us. Jason's sled hockey season is over and he had a great time with it. He was not able to go to the final tournament, in Chicago, due to travel challenges. First challenge was simply getting there - there really isn't any way to get there, that doesn't simply totally wear him out, and then he needs the next day to recover. We think we may have figured out a way around this, though it actually means more travel time, rather than recovery time. We have found a van that can provide a

Again, I have no reasonable excuse other than to say I got side tracked. On the last post I mentioned that Jason had gotten injured, while playing in the hockey tournament. Well, as it turned out it was a more serious injury than either of us had suspected. The outcome was that he lost some soft tissue and a section of his pelvic bone was exposed (about the size of a quarter) and he is now required to have a wound-vac so that it can heal properly. This means that he has to spend most of his time in bed and can only be up in his chair for no more than 20 minutes at a time, and that followed by hours of rest time. The rest time is for the injury, and not necessarily for Jason, as he isn't tired. As you can imagine, he gets very board with this "life style" and wants to get up and go do something. We've been going in to wound-care frequently, once or twice each week, and they keep telling us, "...we'll take a look at it next week, to see what happens next.&quo
