Today started off pretty much like most Sundays, when we have the girls. Jackie comes up the stairs and does her best to wake me up, asking "Where'd Grandma go?" And, it was at 06:15 this morning, so I just decided to get up, instead of laying in the bed a little longer. I went down stairs and talked with Jason and we decided to go to the early service, instead of the late morning service. I got breakfast ready for them and we enjoyed the different crowd of people, yet a few of them still knew us - I guess we're starting to look more like regulars... ;-) After service, even though the girls both had "too much to eat" for breakfast, they still went looking for the treat table, and the ladies there loved seeing them.

We spent the rest of the day taking care of a few odds and ends at the house. I did a couple loads of laundry and even changed the bedding for the girls. The girls went down for their naps really easy and when they got up decided to stay in their pajamas the rest of the day, even through dinner. That was the other thing, when I spoke to Jason about dinner Stacy says she wants breakfast for dinner. She wanted pancakes and eggs. I thought, why not, I haven't done that in a while, and it is pretty easy to do.

Tonight, I was watching some football (the Niners botched a game they should have won), when Stacy announced she wanted to do a puppet show, and almost immediately Jackie wants to join in. Obviously Jason could hear the two of them and he came out with his own puppet and the three of them were having a great time. My only regret was that I got so involved with the show I didn't think to take any pictures, but then again, maybe this was one of those moments that was just for family, and it was wonderful. Tomorrow we have to get back into the routine, with Jason going to formation, so it is an early start for the day. Thank you, for all the continued support and prayers. Take care and stay positive.

    That puppet show sounds amazing! Too bad you didn't get any pics!
    The Lord will always use whatever you're going through for your good! Praying hard as always!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
    Psalms 91:9-12 Because thou hast made the LORD, which is my refuge, even the most High, thy habitation; There shall no evil befall thee, neither shall any plague come nigh thy dwelling. For he shall give his angels charge over thee, to keep thee in all thy ways. They shall bear thee up in their hands, lest thou dash thy foot against a stone.

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
