Visitors

Clyde came to visit his old coach. I know you are reading this Clyde, because you told me you read the blog. It was great to hear about you, Stephanie, and the wonderful direction your life is taking. Come again. Thanks to you and everyone who have supported the blog.

Michelle came by and played backgammon and ace deuce with Keith. She is very competitive, but Keith told me he won 3 out of 4 games. You will have to come back. Oh darn. We will look forward to another round! I told you he likes to win. =) He's a competitor. A good thing because he is in the biggest competition of his life now. Stay strong Keith. We love you.

Meanwhile, I went for a long walk while they played games. The weather was so wonderful and warm I just soaked it in. Thanks Michelle. Even Pepper loves you.

As for those who can, come by for a visit. You are welcome in our home anytime =)

I'm Here

I'm here. Just pondering. I guess the visit with my friend who's husband took his life using the Death with Dignity law got to me more than I thought. It was eerie sitting there eating lunch without him. Yet it was so peaceful at the same time. I don't know how to explain it. She is one of the nicest people I know. She is exhausted emotionally and physically. Still, she is holding the family together in a way as to honor their dad and her husband. Mounds of paperwork she told me and the ache she feels when she turns to her husband to share the latest about the kids, or other such happening, is terrible. She runs. It is something they did together throughout their lives until MSA stopped that.

What am I wanting? It seems rather selfish. I should stop right now.

Better week than Charlie Sheen

Just thought I'd let you know that our week has been great. No drama and that's a lot better than what Charlie Sheen can say right?. I truly hope that this will be a wake up call for him to find what is really missing in his life. It shows that even with abundant wealth, life can be far from perfect.

Ed, thanks for coming over and playing Farkle with Keith. He enjoyed it very much. Good company and good coffee. I was able to go do whatever I wanted,(Not that I can't anyway. When you marry such a nice guy as Keith, that's what you get to do!) In fact, he tells me to go to Palm Springs and he will be fine alone for a week. Hey, maybe I should be wondering about that? =)

Everyone must be praying for him. Several of you have said that he looks so good and healthy. I agree.

He finished coaching his last Alternative Basketball Team and said he will miss it even though it was hard.

Time for Spring Sports. Have a great week everyone.
