Miss Tacy almost didn't make it

 

Kelly came home to find a home health nurse at the door saying Tacy wasn't answering.  They found her on the floor, passed out from lack of nutrition.  He grabbed a rolling stool from the garage and quickly rolled her to the car and then got her to the hospital.

She was pretty hit and miss for a long time.  The worst was when she would come to and think she was in the hospital because she had relapsed again on drugs, when she was being perfect.  Becky made sure, and I think even hung a note on the wall, saying "You didn't do anything wrong!"  

We found great hope after a while, but they didn't fix her completely.  They switched things up and she was able to get some nutrition finally but she is still struggling.  However, sometime along the path, she came back to the Church and seems so much happier and a delight to be around.  We still pray for healing.

Mom, you make me tired!

With patience wearing thin from the pain in my knee, I went downstairs to rest on the couch.  Mom followed me down and asked if I wanted to exercise with her.  Well, heck no, Mom, I don't want to exercise.  So she did it alone and put me to total shame.  She danced around for a while and then dropped down and did her bicycle exercise.  Not too shabby for a 63 year old on the couch and a 93 year old up and exercising.

Cleaning the Headstones in Enterprise Cemetery



 It turned out to be a much harder job than I thought it would be and it took me two days working the full day to get it where I stopped.  

The funny thing is that I showed up just at dark, and parked the van on the outside of the cemetery.  I had planned on going inside and parking the van on the road behind the trees, but they had trimmed them so they no longer hid you from people driving by.  

By the second night, I no longer cared about what people thought and I just left the van where it had been all day long, right next to Dad's grave.  I figured by the time I was done that it would take cleaning an hour every month for a few months.  But mom just hired it done instead.
