What matters, is not the length of the wand, but the magic in the stick -- Anonymous
Life has been good to us these last few weeks. We have been able to do so many things...after our little anniversary trip (which was wonderful!) we attended Eddie's class reunion. We were able to go with our friends, John and Ruth Farris, and we had a great time staying with them! Of course, it didn't hurt that John's got a cool new AR and we got to go shooting the next day!
On Sunday, the most incredible thing happened....our friends (and fellow hunters) and our kids went together and gave me a trip to 'scratch something off my bucket list'. Eddie and I will be heading to Texas this fall where I will be able to shoot a "mountable buck"...they have it ALL planned out and we will always remember this trip, I know. How generous everyone is.
This Labor Day weekend was packed full of family.... my brother & sis-n-law, Don & Angie and my niece, Lauren came to mom's and we all had such a good, laid-back weekend! It's always good to see them, but this trip was really important to me...I needed to see my big brother! I have not seen him since I was diagnosed with this last recurrence. I don't know all of the special connotations connected with birth order...but I love being the baby of my family! I have been so blessed with my parents, brother and sister. I also enjoyed spending time with my nieces and nephew and their kids who live here in MO.
Finally, Eddie and I were able to spend Monday with most of our kids and grandkids...and my college roommate, "Motz" and her son at Nick and Amy's pool!! It was a great way to relax and end a full and special weekend.
I have been doing ok on the ipi. I don't seem to have side effects directly related to it according to my doctor, but have new symptoms that leave me uncomfortable a lot of the time. I try hard not to focus on that..I want to focus on other things more important!
Hope you are all well and reminding yourself each day to prioritize the special people in your life.
You are amazing...and that is why so many people love you!! xo
