Autumn

We feel the chill in the air, the furnace is on and during the night an extra blanket feels good.  I don't know how this will affect our house painting project, but I know that already it has slowed down considerably.  Margie had a good night and yesterday ironed the clothes and fixed our lunch and did other things around the house. She rests between "jobs" to maintain her strength level.  We are happy she has the strength to do what she does.  For the first time in a LONG time she drove our car to the repair shop. She followed behind while I led her in our son's car which we happen to have while they are away on vacation.  It worked out OK. We had a delightful phone visit with Dan DiDonato, V. P, Development, Shepherds Ministries. who was in Bellevue, WA on business for the home. Our son and his family will arrive Sunday.  I will meet them at the airport (locally) in their van.   Thanks so much for your prayer support.
