HAPPY FATHER'S DAY to ALL! Sorry we cannot be there with you cause we know you would all be at the farm celebrating with Grandaddy Lee. Today has been a quiet one...we have heard from our children and each one related their view of the wedding yesterday. Even though it was hot, everyone said it was a lovely affair and the bride was beautiful. We would loved to have seen John, age 11 looking very dapper and handsome in his tux with the pink cumberbund and tie. John is our shorts and barefoot kid on the farm. He even goes barefoot in January if the temperature reaches 50 degrees. We would have enjoyed John in the tux! Look forward to the CD that Julia promises to deliver. We hear that the decor was lovely by Norma, Jennifer's friend and that Julia's girls, Julia and Greg played an impressive ensamble on the cello, violin, flute and piano. I'm sure Laura was a beautiful bridesmaid and that the mother of the groom looked far too young and beautiful to have a son old enough to marry.
We are now trying to grow accustomed to being on call and playing the waiting game. I spent most of the morning making lists and placing items together in a ready position..........I suppose I could liken this to getting ready for the baby to come! Like most new expectant parents I, too will probably forget everthing I have so organizingly packed and forget the most important things in my haste to depart!
More and more, Lee and are I aware of the urgency of this procedure. He has began to cough more and @ times is experiencing some irregularities of his heart. We are grateful for all his good times, his increasing strength and endurance,. but we are always aware that we must be cautious and not push beyond his limit.
Since today is Father's day, Lee's treat will be an outing to Ben & Jerris for a special ice cream (sugar free) treat and perhaps an afternoon ride to explore our new neighboorhood. We took a short ride yesterday and I found Rite-Aide, Dollar General, and the Mall! Yeaaaaaaaaaa! Now I can add them to the Food Lion, and Whole Foods. Good to be finding our way around.
So now you understand the title of today's Blog. Sundae!...........More later...................Brend
Hi from Wayne and Betty,
ReplyDeleteWe were very happy to hear Lee was placed on the transplant list. Lee is a fighter and competitor and we knew he would not give up and would met and exceed all the goals the Doctors required. I know you are happy the first hurdle of getting on the transplant list is over and the anxiety of the unknown next hurdle is huge. Betty and I think about you all often and we pray all goes well during Lee's next treatment phase.
Wayne and Betty
Happy Father's Day Night. Get plenty of rest for another busy week. I plan to come and visit on Friday! Much much love...Julia
ReplyDeleteIt was so wonderful to spend time with y'all on Friday! I'm glad to know that if y'all two had kids, she might look like me. Thanks for claiming me as a second daughter. It is such a privilege. Happy Father's day!
ReplyDeleteI am back in Colorado and sat at the top of a 14,000 foot mountain 2 hours after I got off the plane. I'll post pictures soon! Then...Adam, his sister, and I popped through "canyon city" next to "navadaville" to play the nickel slot machines. So funny!
Love you, eleanor
