We had a nice Sunday, and other than going to church this morning, we pretty much stayed home. We did go to Costco to pick up a few things and I went for a nice 15.25 mile bike ride this morning. It took me just over an hour and I tracked it with my new Runtracker App. A friend of mine, Bill B. suggested it and so far it seems to work pretty well. It runs on a smart phone and reports to you as you are moving along. I wear a backpack as I ride, and keep my cell phone at the top of the pack. This way I can hear it as I go along, and it tells me the pace I'm keeping. I was actually hoping to get a little better time, but traffic lights don't always cooperate along the route. Anyway, that was before church, and I got back to the house with plenty of time to not only get myself ready, but I also helped get the girls ready, with time to spare.

The rest of the day was spent just relaxing and playing with the girls. Linda is still working on getting things reorganized around here, and she's making some good progress. Jason and I do our best to just stay out of the way (I do help to move and carry stuff when she asks, but otherwise I stay clear). Jason's wounds are looking very good right now, and I'm hopeful that the healing will continue. We will be going in to Wound Care on Wednesday, and I am anxious for them to see how things are progressing.

Tomorrow the girls go back to school, as Christmas break is over and we have to get back into the "normal" routine. I also need to take down the rest of the decorations, in the front of the house, and start to look forward to Ground Hog Day! By Ground Hog Day it is beginning to feel like Spring around here, and that is okay by me. Thanks, for all the continued support and prayers - we do appreciate it. Take care and stay positive.

    Check to see if the app has an "autopause" setting. I use mapmyfitness when I walk the dog so end up stopping way too often but with autopause it doesn't effect my pace.
    These words are so very comforting! He's speaking directly to you! Praying!
    John 14:1-3 Let not your heart be troubled: ye believe in God, believe also in me. In my Father's house are many mansions: if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you. And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and receive you unto myself; that where I am, there ye may be also.

    Continuing to lift up prayer!
    1 John 1:1-4 That which was from the beginning, which we have heard, which we have seen with our eyes, which we have looked upon, and our hands have handled, of the Word of life; (For the life was manifested, and we have seen it, and bear witness, and shew unto you that eternal life, which was with the Father, and was manifested unto us;) That which we have seen and heard declare we unto you, that ye also may have fellowship with us: and truly our fellowship is with the Father, and with his Son Jesus Christ. And these things write we unto you, that your joy may be full.

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
