Amana colony they had fall fest first weekend in October. First few pics from Des Moines. My iPad was on Wi-Fi but lost it so pics not on it form my phone. At least an easy fix once I figured it out.

My computer is still at the repair shop and they will hopefully with get it done tomorrow. I am using Glenn's computer which is easier than my tablet but the keyboard is smaller than mine and I am hitting wrong letters frequently. They said they are checking out the "operating system" error which they have seen a lot with the computers that are newer. They did not mention my mistake I did yesterday so maybe there are more problems to look at when they get the operating system fixed.
Susan - that is scary to hear that your friends had their garage broken into and the thieves were inside the house. Did the friends not lock their house door? I am glad that Colin was able to secure your garage and your have your furry security system. We have an alarm system on the Denver house but Grand Junction seems to be quieter and we feel safe. I have set off the system in Denver before when I am up after everyone is asleep and I open one of the outside doors by mistake. Fortunately, they give us a few minutes to shut off the alarm before the police come incase it is a false alarm. Yes, it is much too cold to have any citrus trees growing in our area. When my Mom lived in California, her neighbor had grapefruit trees and she would give them to Mom. They were so much better than the half ripe ones that are in the grocery store. We have apple, peach, apricot, plum, cherry trees and grape vines in our area. There have been years that the frost killed the blossoms on the apricot and peach trees if they blossom too early. They put smudge pots or heaters in the orchards and have huge fans running all night to protect them when they first blossom if cold weather is expected.
Barb - thanks for sharing the butterfly pictures. We have a Butterfly Pavilion near our house in Denver that the grandkids love to go see. My granddaughter can get the butterflies to land on her hand. They also have a tarantula named Ruth that people can hold. She is about the size of the palm of my hand including her legs. When you hold her, an employee holds your wrist to keep you from jerking when the spider climbs on your hand so she does not get flung into the air by someone who decides they are too scared to hold her. It was an odd feeling to have her walking on my hand.
Judith - Have you gotten rested up with the celebration you had for your birthday and Thanksgiving? I am so glad that they had food you could eat also. What vegetables are in Autum Soup? I hope you were able to get an appointment into the Oncologist office so he can look at your mouth. It would also be great if you could get your surgeon's appointment to very three weeks so the area has time to heal between debriedments.

Judith. I hope you have recovered from all the excitement you have had. So nice you had a nice bday & then Thanksgiving, guess that’s normal for you. Glad your family makes sure you have foods you can eat.
Did you get the appointment you needed? Praying.
Linda. Glad you could use Glenn’s computer to respond. I hope you get your computer soon & it doesn’t cost much. I don’t think I would like to hold a tarantula on my hand. I can kill small spiders but a big one like that I’d be scared.
We have fruit trees around us but we don’t have any. Lots of trees big ones from my. neighbors. 3 oak trees so lots of acorns & branches I’m picking up.Susan Can the police catch the robbers of your neighbors garages? Any leads? Praying for Joe. well we are in Wisconsin taking the. North River road so along the Mississippi River. It’s been nice. We’ve seen some color but it’s cloudy & light rain so no really any pics. I hope to get some tomorrow. It is colder up here but not bad jacket weather.
It’s still dry & warm back home in 80’s3 got his walker today, & he will go to a 3 day therapy Tuesday, Thursday & Friday. PTL. That starts next week & we will be home.
My mom got home but is having constipation issues. Cheryl will stay tonight with her. Sandi, BC sister, isn’t coming since she has a cold & USA govt shut down. Pray she can come some other time soon. Jan youngest sister, who lives in Ri hadn’t seen my mom yet this year either. All in God’s time. .1 -
How wonderful that your mother could come home, Barb. I am sorry she doesn't feel comfortable yet. I hope she will soon. Your pictures were beautiful and you both looked so happy. I sure hope Harry3 gets the hang of his walker very quickly and he stays well. Poor Mariposa being sick again so soon. You stay well, too.
Linda, that's encouraging that the computer people might fix your machine soon and that maybe you didn't cause the problem. Isn't it funny how different devices feels so strange. We're just glad that you are able to post. I also remember the abundance of variety of trees in California. My paternal grandparents lived near an olive grove. They also had plenty of freshly picked grapefruit, oranges, artichokes, watermelons, etc. One place my family lived in there long ago had a very productive apricot tree. My maternal grandmother had grapes vines, peach and apricot trees.
Judith, i am not surprised that fruit trees would have trouble in your climate. Yes, lemons and limes are very similar, especially when young. They are pretty much the same shape and colour. I counted 6 lemons on my tree this morning. Many fell off before they got a chance to develop. If there is a storm or strong wind , this happens even more. I also noticed a few tiny limes, but they are funnily enough, a pale yellow! They get darker with age while the lemons get lighter. Lol! They also wind up being much smaller than the lemons. They are good for zesting, not so much for juicing. The lemons are good for both things.
The whole village is angry about management's handling of the theft and about maintenance issues. Many are writing letters and sending emails and having meetings about the best way forward. Some have even suggesting we stop paying site rent until they fix a few things and increase security. (We own our houses but not the land they sit on. Part of our land rent includes maintenance of common gardens and facilities and roads etc).
One other thing Management has not fixed in a hurry is the sanitizer in the village kitchen. The chef who comes here often has threatened to stop coming. The internal groups that hold food events have switched to paper plates and disposable cutlery. Everyone is especially angry about that as with 500 people in the village, someone is bound to get sick if the dishes are not sanitized. Yes, we all cook at home most of the time , but there are a lot of events in the clubhouse.
As for what the police are doing or how close they are to catching the carr and key thieves, I have not been told. The doors to the house that was robbed were locked but they have a cat and had left the cat flap open. Somehow, the teenager thieves were able to reach in and unlock something. They saw them on a security camera so I assume they at least know what they looked like unless they wore masks. I am just glad the residents were not hurt at all, but they are dealing with the mental horror of being broken into while they slept.
I appreciate you praying for Joe and Eileen so much. Colin is with Joe now. Joe has slipped into a coma. We're not sure if he will wake up again. Eileen is with him as well..

I wish I had good news about my computer but I do not. This morning they computer people talked to Glenn and said that the whole operating system is corupted. They can leave it as it is since it does work but I am missing things on the bottom bar that is a quick way to get to things, we could fix it for $150 but another option is to buy a new one. They can not guarantee that they would be able to transfer all the data off my machine on to another computer. Glenn went to pick it up and they did a final check on it and the Wi-Fi was not working although it was earlier in the day. We are leaving on Friday to go back to Denver so I hope they can get the Wi-Fi working before then. We decided to not fix it although I will have to go to "settings" a lot to find what I need like to increase the volume, change the brightness, I check to see if the Wi-Fi is on, or how much battery I have which is what is on the bottom of the screen. It is a problem that is a luxury to me when I think of all the people in the war torn countries that are starving or do not have homes to live in. They do not even have computers to worry about. Maybe our lives would be better if we did not have modern conveniences.
Barb - Thanks for the pictures of the Amana Colony. It is fine if you do not get any pictures of colors since it is not good picture taking. Do you have lots of colors in Kansas? I am glad to hear that your Mom is home but it is frustrating that she is having constipation. Does she get much exercise? I am hoping that the therapies helped her be more mobile.
Susan - I can imagine that your management is feeling the heat of everyone because of the safety, security and sanitation issues. Everyone not paying rent would get their attention. That is interesting that you do not own your property. It sounds like it is with the trailor parks here. The difference is that if The trailor owners do not like the rent, they can move their trailor but you would have to sell your house and buy a new one somewhere else. You saying that the thieves got in the house of your friend by using the cat door reminded me of my middle daughter that would go home from school with her friend to play and she would climb through the doggie door to let her friend in the house if she had forgotten her keys. As far as I know she did not get into any other houses that way. LOL Her friend gave her permission to use the doggy door.
Judith - I assume that we are posting at the same time as we did yesterday. I hope you are doing well.

hello everyone,
As you can see I edited my post at 12:17am and then came back at 3:07pm, my device is adding letters and words I didn’t type. Not sure if it’s a MFP or a device thing??
I am on later but see everyone’s post! YAY 😀 It’s good to be able to see and read all your posts.
Susan, I saw your post on our prayer Thread. My sincere Condolences and Prayers for Eileen and the whole Family in-the resent passing of Joe who went Home to Jesus last night, Joe is now at Rest, he is free from pain and is now in the Presence of the Lord! My heart goes out to Eileen as even though she has Peace knowing her beloved husband is Safe and is with Jesus it still is hard, as she is here, missing her husband she spent so many hears with, that is what is hard. Psalm 116:15 Precious in the sight of the Lord, Is the death of His Saints! “NKJV” I am praying for Colin as he was with Joe when he passed, and Eileen was there also. Before Joe passed he said to Colin, “you will be there too in Heaven” then he slipped into unconsciousness and that was the last words I believe Susan said on the Prayer thread. I am praying for Colin as it has to be so hard for him. I am also so sorry to hear all about what’s going on with your community with the Management not keeping up the grounds or any repairs. And the way things are with the way things are being done regarding the theft of car. I feel for the owners having to deal with their emotions of knowing it all happened while they slept. That is so hard to deal with. I am praying for it all, Hope the managers start doing what is right, it’s concerning and the issues with the sanitizer in-the kitchen that is not repaired.
Linda, so sorry about the computer..I was hoping it could be fixed. Let us know what you will do. Did you have any of your College Files on that computer, or hopefully you backed up the Files for Glenn’s computer. You said you leave for Denver on Friday, will you take the computer with you to see maybe it can be fixed in Denver? Just the same here’s hoping you get the WIFI at least up and running. I hear you about maybe our lives would be simpler if we didn’t have all these modern conveniences. You sharing about the Fruit trees in your area and your Mom in California with all that she did, one thing in particular that started my mouth watering was thinking about your Mom’s neighbour giving her grapefruit, I loved grapefruit but can’t eat it now! The memories of my Grandparents back in Eastern Canada they had Apple, Peach and Pear trees on their land. They also had blueberry bushes and rhubarb beans, carrots, Corn Potatoes, Squash, Broccoli, Cabbage, Cauliflower, Pumpkin, Peas, Tomatoes… And yes, they had grapefruit, and much more but can’t think of all the names now. I grew my own produce back east also. Here in BC I grow Tomatoes every year, last year I grew green peppers but missed out getting the starter peppers this year. One of my a neighbours does Squash, corn and other veggies, my Daughter and Son have big gardens of Produce. One thing we have to be mindful here is to pick the fruit of the trees and clean out our gardens before the first frost. Usually by mid to late Autumn is the last of our gardens brought in before the first frost. My grandmother did a lot of canning and I helped her with mega baking. Do you do any canning Linda?
Barb, so glad to hear Harry3 got his Walker and his therapy is moved to 3 days a week. So happy your Mom is home but sorry she has constipation. Hopefully that can be brought under control. How is your Mom’s mobility and is the pain under control with good pain management? So sorry Mariposa is sick, it seems she just got over a cold not long ago. Will pray for the household that everyone stays healthy. I am praying Harry3 will get stronger and his balance improve, trusting his swallowing improves so he is not coughing and choking on his food. When I was at Speech Language Swallowing Pathology Clinic the Pathologist helped me with using thickened water or putting it in juices and eventually I was able to eliminate it, I believe Harry3 had that but doesn’t need it now, my speech improved. My vocal cords and mouth were affected due to all the cancer surgeries. Harry3 has done well in all his therapies and I believe this last few things will be resolved very soon. Yes, as you say, In God’s perfect time.
I’m off to bed, came back to edit my post and ended up by sharing more. I had everything done by 11:45pm later than my usual but now I need to go to bed 🛌 So will say Good Night 😴 God Bless! 🙏🤗

Thank you all for your condolences. I got it wrong about Joe waking long enough to speak. It was Colin who whispered those words to Joe. Joe heard the words, as a single tear rolled down his face when Colin said them. Joe never regained consciousness but obviously retained his hearing to the end...Eileen is coping right now but I think her loss will be felt deeply in coming days as she adjusts to life on her own after 66 years with Joe. We'll be keeping an eye on her as will many in the church. Pastor Joe and Eileen are well-loved. She will have help organising the funeral too.
The Village is settling down a bit. One of our residents was able to contact upper management as our 'on site' manager (who is rarely on site) wasn't helping and the more senior manager arranged for the sanitiser to be fixed immediately. People are installing extra security in their houses. (Police have not said if they have leads about the theft, but we heard a store caught them on camera using our friends' credit cards). We each own our house, just not the land the houses sit on. Technically we could buy land somewhere else and have our house shifted there as the homes are supposed to be relocatable, but no one has ever done that to my knowledge. People who move from here sell the house and buy another place with the proceeds.
Judith, glad you saw my post even though it was wrong. I'll edit my post in the prayer thread to be right if MFP will let me. Your memories of gardens and harvests were good to read. Wherever we lived, my Mom always had a garden and she and Dad would grow vegetables and fruit. I remember we even had a Fig tree once. She wouldn't can things. We would just eat everything as it came and she would give away the surplus.
Linda, that is not a completely good result about the computer but I am glad you didn't lose all your data. Life throws curve balls from unexpected places. I am thinking about upgrading my laptop. It is about 10 years old and won't allow me to upgrade to the next operating system. I don't think I'll be able to use my word processing software any more next month. I'm still thinking about it.

Susan. So sad to hear about Joe in you all will miss him but welcome home Joe as he’s with Jesus with no suffering. Prayers for you all & Eileen especially. That’s how long my folks were married before my dad died. Praying. It’s good that people are installing extra protection.
Prayers they get thieves. I know of a house that got moved 3 blocks away but it’s not too often.
Judith. Praying for you. My dad in growing growing up grew lot’s raspberries 2 times a year we pick them, gooseberries, Swiss chard, lettuce tomatoes, peppers, cucumbers asparagus, peas. Etc. we would freeze a lot of peas and such.
Linda. So sorry about your computer. Maybe in Denver you can get it fixed. Prayers. Prayers for your safety too in traveling.
We are in Thunder Bay Ontario. Yes Canada. With new passports we went for one day hoping to see things tomorrow but it was pouring all the way here. We got here in the dark. It’s on Eastern time and we have central time so it’s an hour sooner.
Lake Superior visited the largest golf the lakes and trees have colors. Mariposa did some seeing with boards so she must better.
My mom is in a lot of pain. Cher can’t take care of her so not sure what we can do. If she goes to assisted it be in a different place & have to get her on Medicaid. Please pray for wisdom for us. She is not texting us as wants not to be a burden on us. Please prayWe go back to Minnesota tomorrow. Pics of today colors, willow river falls in WI, MN colors m, plus Lake Superior.

Barb, such beautiful memories you have stirred up with sharing the pictures of Thunder Bay. My aunt and Uncle lived in Northern Ontario, their home was in Englehart Ontario. We spent a lot of time in North Bay but we did visit Thunder Bay often. What I remember about Northern Ontario was the tall Birch Bark Trees. So beautiful. Both my Grandparents and Aunt and Uncle had cottages outside of Englehart Ontario. My Aunt Bette my Mom’s sister lived in Englehart, they bought their house there after they were married but built their own cottage nearby Englehart. My Memories of swimming skiing on the lake, and picking a lot of blueberries with my Grandma. She made the best Blueberry pies. In Hamilton Ontario their house sat on a large piece of land. The produce and fruit we ate all summer and they gave a lot away to their friends and to all the family. Then in October they canned the rest which took them through the winter months. Every summer my Mom and I had a holiday just Mom and daughter time would to take me up to the cottage but always stopped at different places in the North to visit with friends. Thank you for sharing the pictures. Such a nice picture of you Barb and your husband Harry. The picture of Mariposa is precious. Love her smile. Safe travels as you continue to visit and tour so many places. I am so sorry about your Mom being in pain, and your Sister not able to look after your dear Mom, will keep this in much prayer.
Susan, you sharing about Colin whispering in Joe’s ear saying he would be in Heaven with him soon, it brought tears to my eyes reading what you shared and I could almost see the tears rolling down Joe’s cheek, so precious, yes Susan the hearing is the last to go, so I always encouraged family friends to keep speaking to their loved ones as they do hear, and for sure Joe heard what Colin said…My Grandparents were married 66 years before my Grandfather passed away. It’s a long time, a life time for Eileen and Joe. So glad the Church and friends family will rally around Eileen as it will take time to adjust to life without Joe by her side. I am glad to hear the Villagers were able to get in touch with upper management and get the maintenance things looked after, especially the sanitizer in the Village’s Kitchen. It’s also good the owners are putting locks on the doors and getting better security. Glad the store owners got the picture on their security camera of the robbers using the owners credit cards. My goodness these individuals need to be arrested before they disrupt anymore families and communities. They need to be stopped. I am praying for all your safety.Take care all. Will say good night 😴 and God Bless. 🙏🤗

The saga goes on with my computer. They worked on it all day and never were able to get the WiFi to work. The repair show called Glenn and dicussed it and they decided to not buy a new computer but to put all my stuff in the "cloud" (what ever that is) and to erase everything on my computer, put in a new operatering system and download everything back from the cloud into my "new" refurbished one. Although it took so long for them to do all of this, he said he would only charge us what he quoted when he first looked at it and thought it was an easy job. I am so grateful he was so generous to us! We will pick up the computer tomorrow before we leave for Westminster. All the schools info is on Google drive in all the staff's computers so it would just be putting that drive back into my computer if it were lost from mine. We brought all our green tomatoes in the house today since it will probably freeze before we get back. I also took some sprigs off my geranium plant to sprout and keep in the house during the winter and I will replant it outside next Summer.
Judith - I did not can anything this year. I did dry some peaches and apples and froze some things but we did not have an excess of much of anything. We will be freezing the apples from our tree in Westminster next week - both unpeeled apples to make applesauce later and sliced ones for pies. They should be ripe by then. Glenn's sister said she has a lot of apples on her tree too and wants us to take some from her but I am not sure how many apples we can process. It will be a lot just to do ours. A friend who is going through some hard emotional times, usually gives us pears from his tree but he was in such a dificutl mental state that he forgot to tell us the pears were ready until it was too late. I did can quite a lot of them one year.
Susan - that was so sweet that Colin was able to say good-bye to Pastor Joe and he reacted to it with a tear. As the apostle Paul said in Philippians 1:23, it is hard to not want to go to be with Jesus but hard to leave your loved ones too that need you. (That is a poor paraphrase.) It was interesting that you said you could take your house to another property if you wanted to since you own the house. Over close to our mountain property before they made the Blue Mesa Lake, there was a small town of Sapinaro that was in the area where they wanted to make the dam and therefore the Lake. They moved the whole town up quite a bit to save the buildings and keep the town together. That was a huge undertaking but needed to be done before they could proceed with the dam and lake. Otherwise the town would have been covered with water.
Barb - I did not know you were going to be international travelers by going to Canada. I am sorry that the weather was not cooperating and I hope it clears up for you. I will pray for your decision about Assisted Living for your mother. Is she is agreement with it? There would be a lot of things to do to get ready for that as you said. Applying for Medicaid can be quite a process with the goverment looking over all the details of her life making sure she does not have any money hidden that she has not used. My job at a nursing home was to fill out forms for Medicare and Medicaid. My Dad was able to get veteran's benefits to get into Assisted Living. That was a huge help to us. Willow River Falls looks so beautiful. I love to see waterfalls and see the amazing power they had to carve rocks into different formations. Thanks for including red trees for me.

Hello all.
Linda, I am very relieved they found a way to preserve your data and install a new operating system. The cloud is accessible no matter what computer you are on as it is storage provided by Google or some other internet service provider (ISP). Google Docs is on the cloud too. So you can't lose your data unless we lose the Internet. Yes, that is am apt verse to describe our parting on Earth. Thank you. As for moving our house, I don't think we would do that, but you never know.
Judith, the police have recovered one of the stolen cars but have impounded it for evidence. I think they might know who the thieves are, but I am only guessing. Our absent 'manager' resigned yesterday. She will need to be replaced but that might take awhile. I guess a little chaos around here will continue for awhile. Yes, it was very poignant for Colin and Joe. The memorial service is a week away. Eileen has asked me to make a sign in book for it. There could be 100+ attending so I found a bound notebook with a faux leather cover. I printed a photo of the two of them and will add some information to invite people to sign it and share memories. I think Eileen will like that.
Barb, that was a nice surprise about you travelling to Canada. You showed us some beautiful pictures. Love it. ❤️ I am glad Mariposa is looking better. Oh, your poor Mom. I sure hope she gets the help she needs soon. She sounds so upset.
Some more sad news: Our good friend Greg's brother passed away yesterday. One minute he was at a shopping centre walking around and he was gone the next minute. Greg is pretty upset. All siblings and parents are gone now. He does have children, grandchildren and wife Lyn plus friends, but he is really feeling the loss of his brother. They were close.
We were going to ho out together tonight to celebrate our anniversary but Greg has cancelled. I understand.

Susan
Prayers for Greg & family now. It’s hard when married so long. You mentioned they were married 66 years too. Happy anniversary to you & Colin. How long were you married.
So glad they got one far even though it’s impounded. Maybe can get fingerprints or hair? 🙏
Linda so glad they found a way to help you out without buying a new computer. Prayers it all works.We are looking into how we can help her & she might be able to do it by herself maybe visiting nurse?
Do I guess the Pearce to old to be used. I hope you can make somethings with your apples.
We thought with our new passports thought why not go to Canada for one day. So we did.Judith. So glad you had some nice memories from Thunder Bay. We got to walk around it before the rain started again today. Last night it was dark & pouring. I’m sending 2 pictures of Thunder Bay from today with our walk.
Praying for you.We will be staying in Minnesota tonight.
We did see the Kakabeka Falls. It’s cool and near Thunder Bay.
So pics of Thunder Bay and Kakabeka Falls.
Daughter Elisabeth has a big sty on her eye & my mom is still constipated & a neighbor helped her with opening the prune juice for her. Prayers for her.1 -
I have my computer back but still am learning to deal with my icons in different places as well as I have lost my passwords that were saved. I need to talk to the administrator for the church to get a new password for the school's email. My daughter was able to get me into my other e-mails. Traffic was heavier than usual because we left Grand Junction later than we ususally do and it is Friday so traffic is higher with people going to places for the weekend. We left late because our neighbor was having a garage sale and he is a talker. He was getting caught up with what is going on with our family and what is happening with his. Our quick 15 minute trip to find treasures turned into close to an hour. I did buy some Christmas wraping paper and Glenn bought a foldable saw to use on the trees at the mountain property. Some of the trees have dead limbs that need to be cut off.
Susan - We continue to pray for you both and Eileen and now for Greg's loss of his brother. I am so glad that Eileen asked you to make the booklet for the memorial. I am sure it will be beautiful. I am glad that the absent manager has resigned. I pray that the replacement will be present more and will be quick to respond to problems. Good news that the police are getting closer to finding out who the thieves were that stole the cars.
Barb - The pictures are gorgeous! I am glad that the weather cleared a bit so you could see things today. Thanks for sharing. When are you going home to Kansas? I will pray that Elisabeth's sty heals quickly on her eye. Those are so painful.
Judith - I am on here a little earlier since traveling tires me out especially when I have to get up early to pack. I will go to bed and catch up with you tomorrow.

Evening Hello Everyone,
I am so tired but came back to finish my posts. I was here earlier and worked on all the threads left for a rest and made myself a Hot Chocolate which woke me up a bit. Since coming back I see Linda came here and worked on the threads, so nice to read what she posted. I believe it’s today Linda was travelling back to Denver. Safe travels Linda and Glenn. Was looking outside today and the large trees outside in the front are looking so pretty, red leaves and lighter shades of Fall colours. I love this time of the year seeing all the reds greens yellows oranges on the trees. Back east there was a trail we as a family walked on and as we walked over the leaves on the ground we could hear the crunch of the crispness of each leaf and the fresh smell of the trees and leaves were so awesome. I miss walking the trails and seeing those beautiful trees. The kids always would scoop up bunches of leaves throwing them around and sometimes roll in the leaves, what fun.
Susan, so glad the police recovered one of the stolen cars. It’s good they have it impounded as it will help with all the evidence they gather when they lay charges against the thieves. You said the absent manager resigned. Hope it doesn’t take too long to find someone to replace her. Thank you for letting me know the Memorial Service is a week away. You will make a very nice sign in book for those who attend. I am not surprised there could be as many as 100 or more as Pastor Joe and Eileen were so loved. The Sign in Book you are describing is beautiful, I am sure the photo you chose of Pastor Joe and Eileen is one Eileen will be happy with as she will be happy with the Book you make. My prayers continue for Eileen and the Family, and for you and Colin. I am so sorry to hear your friend Greg’s brother passed away. You said he has lost all his siblings and parents now, that has to be so hard. You said you and Colin and Greg had plans to go out this evening to celebrate your Anniversary, but it’s understandable he cancelled with his dear brother passing. Happy Anniversary Susan and Colin, sorry I missed sending you my greetings. How many years are you celebrating?
Barb, thank you for sending all the pictures, so beautiful and sure bring me much memories from the years I travelled that way. Love the deep red leaves and the Falls is so nice to see…You said you were spending the night in Minnesota, enjoy and have safe travels. I am so sorry to hear all that is happening with your dear Mother, hope they can get the constipation under control. Have you made any decisions about placing your dearMom in Assisted Living? I am so sorry your Mom is going through so much. I am praying for you Barb and your Sister as it has to be so hard trying to do what is best and with helping her where she is now. I read on one of our Threads you are back on Monday. I am sure HH Harry3 and the Girls will be so happy to see you as will Jean and the rest of your Grandkids. Happy you had some time to get away to refresh your spirit before back helping the family.
Linda, you mentioned you didn’t can anything this year but you were going to dry some peaches and apples. I do the same as you with freezing canning but one thing I have never done is dry my fruits or vegetables. Might be something I might consider down the road. Maybe you can offer me some good tips. Sorry to hear all about the computer issues but glad you had your files backed up with Cloud! I have all my Files backed up with Cloud. It’s a great to have. At least you can get a new operating system and then download everything back from cloud. You will have a Good operating Refurbished Computer. It’s much cheaper than buying a brand new computer. And it was so kind of the man who stayed with the quote he originally gave you, wow, that saved you a bundle. And as you said, he was such a generous man! God was watching over you. Its great the schools info is on the Google drive in all the and in all the other Staff’s computers. All that can be put on your computer. This is all good news as you didn’t lose any of the Schools files. You said you brought in your green tomatoes and probably freeze them. I have mine sitting on the patio table and will get them ready to freeze. I always did that as I made the fried green tomato recipe.Will say Good Night 😴 and God Bless you all. Be back tomorrow! 🙏🤗 Thank you for all your prayers! Mine are with each of you always!

Zjidith. So glad my pictures brought back some memories for you.
You are correct we are I our way home. Tonight we will stay in Iowa & be home Monday. We got rain last night back home. Maybe today. Our grass is still brown green. Soon it will be going dormant for winter.Cheryl is looking into assisted living or. Visiting angel. & looking into it. Plus with how much my mom has money wise.
As for constipation that may have to do with no gallbladder. Most have that or diarrhea. It can last a year. With her age it doesn’t help. Cheryl tries to give her foods to help. My mom is afraid her bowels outs that might not help.

Today is our 29th anniversary. We're going to pick Eileen up and go to church, then have play practice this afternoon before evening church. Thank you all for praying about Greg. It was Greg and Lyn who went caravanning with us on our Tasmanian trip. Lyn is my best friend.
I decided to alter a nice notebook with a faux leather cover for Eileen and ask people to sign or write a story for Eileen. I made a box for the book too. The picture is one I took of them on their 60th anniversary.
I must get going for now. Glad to read all your posts and will try to visit more later.

Our "little" steak dinner tonight was supposed to be for 5 people but it ended up being 8. Our daughter and grandkids came over after traveling home from Kansas to see their other grandmother and joined us. The steak is some that we had bought from our brother-on-law that raises cattle. In the summer, he takes the cows up on our property and the area around there so this beef had probably eaten some of our grass. He does not give them antibiotics and they are healthy. We had plenty of steak and have some left over for another time. The grill ran out of gas so not all of them were totally cooked so we will cook them and they will be fresh next time we grill. We also had yellow squash, sweet potatoes, regular potatoes, and carrots on the grill and a nice tossed salad. My daughter's friend brought some salsa she bought in New Mexico for us to try. I like Mexican food if it is mild but this salsa was HOT! It had a nice taste to it but I did not eat a lot of it. I did not want to blister the top of my mouth. 🤣 Glenn picked all of our apples today and I have four large boxes that need to be cut up and frozen this week. We didnot spray the tree so there are some that have worms and we also are seeing squirel bites out of them. They are eating them right off the tree. He thought he left a few for the grandkids to pick but the squirrels got to them and they were gone when they got to the house. I think my computer problems are all solved. I have all the passwords that I need and have all the programs that I need for right now. Excel was not working this afternoon - it did not have any information after 2024 but when I looked at it later, 2025 was there so maybe it just needed time to update it's self.
Susan - Happy Anniversary! I hope you were able to celebrate a little in spite of the loss you are feeling. The book you made is lovely. I am impressed with the handmade box to fit in so she can keep it nice. I would never guess that it started out as a plain brown leather notebook. I am sure that Eileen will savor the stories that are written by all the friends who knew and loved Pastor Joe.
Barb - I am glad that you got some rain back home. Maybe the grass will green up but it will go dormant soon. I am praying that the girls feel better and that HH and 3 do not get colds. It seems they just got over the colds they had last month. Have a safe trip home Monday. I have heard good things about Visiting Angels services. It would be nice if your mother could stay in her own home and have care from them.
Judith - Your Fall colors sound so pretty. Yes, I remember walking on fallen leaves and hearing the crunch and throwing them up in the air to rain down on our heads. We would also rake them up and jump in them and then make a big bonfire out of them. The cities do not allow burning leaves now but we lived on a farm and were very careful. The smell of burning leaves was my favorite smell of the Fall. Hot cider was my next favorite smell. Thanks for the recipies that you are posting. It is interesting that the recipe you posted today included Thai chilies and you used that in the A-Z vegetable thread. You are good at multi-tasking.
Glenn has to get up at 4:30am tomorrow to get ready to fly to Chicago. I need to get up with him to make him breakfast and to fold his good shirts so they do not wrinkle in the suitcase. I will miss him for the three days he is gone but I am glad that I am not traveling again!

Evening All,
Today we had rain showers. Our weather is turning cooler, more like Autumn should be, especially at night and in the early morning hours. I am really tired tonight so my post will be short, sorry all! And MFP has timed me out 2x’s. Once I lost my post and second while looking at the photo’s Susan posted of the In Memory Book she made for the Memorial service for Pastor Joe Hagen got the Members of Church to sign. Now I am saving my posts about every paragraph. Frustrating when you lose whole posts!
Susan, thank you for sharing the pictures of the Book you made, so beautiful, your Heart was poured out in your work, I love the Design and the picture you inserted of Eileen and Pastor Joe that you took on their 60th Wedding Anniversary, Eileen was Shining for Jesus in that picture, you could see the Heavenly Glow over her countenance! Eileen will be so appreciative of you making the Book for her to place on the Reception Table for those who come to the service to sign and share their special memories they have of Pastor Joe! Thank you for jogging my memory as I do remember Greg and Lyn, I remember all the stories and pictures when they joined you different times and places you visited on your trip, and of course we all prayed for Lyn when she had her surgery. God’s Blessings on your Sunday Services, you said you have Practice after Church. Hope all goes well. Are you practicing for the Play I believe you are doing in November? Hope I haven’t got things mixed up? I came back as I forgot to leave the card image and to wish you a Happy Wedding Anniversary!
Happy 29th Wedding Anniversary Susan and Colin….God’s Blessings on your Special Day…❤️Barb, yes, the pictures you shared did bring happy memories. You said you are staying in Iowa tonight so I guess you are on the road most of Sunday to be home for Monday! Safe Travels my friend! I am praying for you and your sister with all the tough decisions ahead in what you should do to help your dear Mom. Your Mom is going through so much. So sorry the Girls have colds, will keep them in prayer, praying protection over Harry3 and HH.
Off to bed now. Sorry if I missed any posts, for some reason Linda’s is not here, maybe we are posting same time. Good Night God Bless…😴🙏

Judith, how frustrating about the posts. Yes, Linda must have posted nearly the same time as you as her post is right above yours. Thank you so much for your lovely words about the memorial book and also for wishing us a happy anniversary. We did have a nice day. Yes, the practice was for the November play. It went well except for one thing. Our friend Kay, whose cars were stolen, fainted on stage. It caused much concern. I don't know why she fainted, but she didn't want a Dr, so she sat in a chair and read her lines with a microphone after that. I guess she had just gotten dehydrated or something, but then she has also had a lot of stressful things happen lately. None of us are young anymore either. We hadn't been doing anything strenuous but she had to be on her feet a lot as one of the main characters in the play.
Linda, I am kind of glad you aren't travelling again so soon either. May Glenn's trip go well. I hope you still get some kind of crop from your trees. My lemon tree took a beating in the hail storm and we have propped up the heaviest branch with bamboo poles. They say mildly stressing a tree can make it bear more, so maybe it's a good thing? Thank you also for your lively feedback about the memorial book and for your happy anniversary wishes.
Barb, hoping your travels are going well and your Mom is doing a little better. Thinking of you and your family!

We are home. We got home at 4 & I’ve been busy since. Unpacking, mail, water & rake leaves etc.
Grass doesn’t lookL to bad. My mums from Jean look a bit old they are. The flower is dying but plant looks good.
Feels good to be home.
Happy anniversary now late Susan. Sure hope it was good even though you are sad with Joe’s home going. Your book looks great I’m sure Eileen loved it. You do such good work!! I hope Kay is doing better if not hope she sees a DrLinda. So where in Kansas is your daughter traveling from, or does she live in my state too?
Hope you got Glenn off ok 4:30 is early Nice Glenn got some apples picked for you too, enjoy your fruitJudith. I’ll be back on the weighing tomorrow. I hope I did gain too much weight.
Prayers for you too. Guess 3 is ok, as no therapy tomorrow with only 3 days a week. I wanted to walk with him it he said no. So guess I can work on house & yard/garden. The garden had lots of needs.My mom is back in the hospital due to pay. So they are keeping her overnight. They will make sure all is working well her body with no gallbladder. They have her on morphine, which I hate to hear. They will also see if she can live y herself. We girls my sisters and I may need to get help for her or maybe she needs to move to a smaller place?
I’m have an eye Dr appointment.tomorrow. It’s the baseline appointment as i my macular treatment Wednesday.
Sure hope it helps as my vision with days getting darker, my eyes need more light. Also saw bright light in traffic and then would see the 2 head lights in night time driving.I hope the girls are better but I don’t know.
prayers. Hi0 -
Evening Hello,
Last night while posting I lost one as I was timed out. I had no sooner got back and was timed out the second time.so frustrating. As I came on here I scrolled up and what do I see is Linda’s post right above mine. All last night I’d check and see if I had missed Linda and her post was no where to be seen, I even left MSP thinking just maybe if I refreshed my device I might find Linda. I didn’t. What is annoying is I came back and posted a recipe and still didn’t see Linda’s post. I wonder what is happening with MFP?
Linda , so glad I saw and was able to read your post. Your dinner sounds so delicious. Steak, potatoes, sweet potatoes too, squash and carrots all on the grill. I always used my indoor grill and BBQ to grill steak and all my veggies. So tasty! 😋 That was nice you got to be with your daughter and grandkids who were travelling home from Kanas. My son buys A whole Beef and Chickens every year and stocks up his large freezer. They have enough meat for the year and Brenda has all the produce she grows for all year healthy eating! The meat tastes so much nicer when the cattle are not fed antibiotics. Brenda makes me soup from her produce garden and sometimes she makes me ham and pea soup, it’s puréed so Zi can eat it.so happy to hear your computer issues are solved. You found everything you were needing. That must give you a sigh of relief. I am happy you don’t have to travel especially so soon after getting back home. You said he had to get up at 4:30am to get his flight to Chicago. It’s good he is only gone for 3 days but you will really miss him.Susan, I just posted a note above to Linda that I found her post. It sure is frustrating being timed off our group page and lose the post on it. Tonight so far Imam still here no timing out. I have played it safe with saving my texts every few paragraphs and also saving it as a draft. Hope I remember other times when posting. You are so welcome for my comments about the Memorial Book and your Anniversay Wishes. I will have to make sure I have your Date put in my file I keep all the Birthday and Anniversary dates. Thank you for letting me know about what you are practicing for, November is not far away. So sorry to read that the lady who had her car stolen fainted on the stage, that would have been so scary. I guess with all the stress she has been under caused her to faint. I hope she does see a Doctor as Stress can play havoc with the Heart and the BP.Stress can do a number of things. It’s good she sat on a chair for the remainder of the practice. Iwill keep her in prayer.
Barb, Welcome home. It’s great to have you back. So sorry to hear your Mom is back in the Hospital with pain. Hope they can get it under control. You said they were thinking of keeping her for a bit then send her back home. Perhaps it’s a good idea to get someone in to help your Mom with the heavier housework. If at all possible I found by experience my patients who went home did better in their own environment with a little bit of help with housework and some got help with a shower, I hope things do improve. I’m praying even as I type my post. You said you had an eye appointment tomorrow and Macular treatment on Wednesday. Hope both goes well. Please don’t rush getting back to our Weight Management Thread with wanting to be back weighing yourself. It’s a lot to get done after being away. You said you had all the unpacking to get done, mail to read, then you have your outside to tend. Happy to hear Harry3’s seems to be doing well as he is doing physio 3 days a week now. How are the girls? Hope they have recovered from their colds. Hope you get a good rest tonight. Thank you for your prayers. Again welcome back, it’s great seeing you posting here.
Will say good night 😴 and God Bless…Be back tomorrow. 🙏🤗

We got up early this morning at 4:30am so I could cook breakfast for Glenn and get his clothes folded for his trip. I was able to go back to bed for 2 more hours then up and showered for chuch. We ate lunch then went with our daughter's friend and mother to a Pentacostal church service that lasted 2 1/2 hours. I have been to Pentacostal church services so I enjoyed visiting but would not do it every week. I love their enthusiasm and the music but it was too loud. My daughter got a headache from the bright shining lights when they sang. The sermon was a good reminder that the time is short and we need to be about "the Father's business". I did not have a problem with the sermon as being scriptually based it is just that I feel I need a quieter environment to meditate when I go to church. In a few minutes we will be taking our granddaughter back to her dorm 45 minutes away. It has been a long day so far and I am not done yet.
Judith - It sounds like you are having the cooler temperatures that we are having also. I only brought a light jacket but this morning I felt like a heaverier one would have been more appropriate. When Glenn lift for the airport, he had frost on the windshield but our plants in the garden still look OK. I do try to save my posting every paragraph also but sometimes, it still is not enough for the paragraph I am writing. At least it saves the prior ones for me.
Susan - I am sorry that your lemon tree was stressed. I have heard as you said that stress can be good for trees as long as it is not hard enough to break branches. How tall is your lemon tree? That is concerning about the woman who fainted during the play practice. Standing for long periods of time as well as dehydration or not eating are common reasons for fainting. I hope that she is feeling OK now.
Barb - This is the last day of your vacation. I hope it was all your wanted/expected it to be. The rain in Canada probably was not expected but you did get to see some beautiful coundryside and water falls. It is good to just get away from responsibilites and relax after you have been so busy helping 3 and his family. I also know that it is good to be back home where the mattress is familiar and you know where everything is. My grandkids grandma Jayne just moved so I am not sure where in Kansas she lives now. I will ask my daughter and let you know. I am praying for you mother as she is back in the hospital. I hope a suitable situation is found for her soon. Being moved back and forth has to be hard on her as well as the family. Being home with help is best but you certainly do not want her to be a safety risk either. I hope the source of her pain is identified and it can be lessened. Just giving her pain medication to control the pain is not getting to the source.
I wrote the above part earlier and saved it as a draft. Now I am ready to go to bed. It was a very long ride to the college and I am glad that I was able to go and keep my daughter company. She said she gets really sleepy driving home by herself. It is almost 11:30pm so I am getting to bed earlier than usual but I was also up earlier then went back to bed but it was not enough sleep! Sweet dreams everyone.

Welcome home, Barb! I'm glad you got home safely. That was quite a trip. I took am concerned for your Mom. Bring on morphine will surely not help her with constipation, unless I am wrong. I hope she can be released soon and the family can find her some home help. I also hope Harry3 continues to do well now rehab time has been reduced.
Judith, that is strange about MFP not showing you posts and not keeping your drafts. (I hot save just now!) Maybe report what is happening? The programmers hopefully can fix it. That would be so good if they did that!
Linda, the lemon tree is a dwarf lemon tree. It is in a big tub and is about 5' tall and 3' around. It's about 4 years old so should be producing. I got one lemon from it last year and this year's crop looked like being a dozen or so, but instead I might get 4 due to the the hailstorm. That's life, hey.
You will all be happy yo know Kay is alright. She slipped and fell from a high stool, apparently, not from fainting. She was back in public yesterday looking really fine.

Susan. So sorry about your lemon tree. Do you get many hail storms? That’s something we get in Kansas. Don’t remember it in Pennsylvania.
Praying for the autopsy on Greg’s brother.
You are the 2 person who had told me about morphine and constipation. You think the hospital know that. She is getting MiraLAX 2 times.
Mt mom’s enzymes were high & so she may have had a heart attack. Shes to have a that be Guess echocardiogram tom to check her out. She’s on the heart floor & close to the nurse station.Linda when you find out the town your daughter is living I meet me know.
I’ve not ever been to a oeneviastak church. I’m sure it was an experience. I guess with getting up early you will hit the hay early. We may be near frost Wednesday morning. I still have our hoses out it’s to be 37* so might be ok.Judith. Yes it was good to get away. Now our son texted me that the Bariatric walker won’t work, too big. Yet that’s what the therapy place tons go to get. Not sure why. Instant 3 wheel I need to take back too. Some friends gave me it to try.
Sorry about MFp trouble I get it too sometimes.I had the baseline at my eye Dr. Theybfud like a si gram of macula then a color and contrast test. Some of it was hard to see.
Then I had my first treatment. Or therapy. I am doing a low light laser therapy. LLLT.
They are seeing good results. So we will seeSo 3 says the walker was too big for the house I sometimes wonder if he exits to walk as not using it I. The house. Guess we will know more in the morning. Praying he continues break his records. Walking longer each time. His balance needs to get better & long term disability to come in too.
I washed a pair of curtains, emptied 2 annuals & still have one more to empty, brought in hummingbird feeder & shepherds hook. Plus raking.
Prayers for my mom & 3 all in God’s time.1 -
We went on a walk up a mountain this morning. The path was very rocky with roots and big rocks in the way. It was supposed to be a 3 mile loop but some other hikers told my daughter's friend (Mary) that we should go "just a little ways" up more to see the continental divide. They said it would be fine for us older people. It actually was .8 miles to the top past the 3 miles we expected. It was very steep and my shoes slipped on the gravel several times. Mary finally said we should turn around because she could see I and her mother were fadeing fast. She is in her 40's and runs for miles at a time so she has problems understanding that our bodies are not as fit as hers is. She was in the military for 4 years also and they did a lot of hiking. We told her we would wait and she could go on to the top but she did not want to leave us alone on the trail. I felt bad but my knee and calves were really tired. The trip back down was easier but the gravel was more slippery and she also slid as she walked. Tonight I am pretty sore from my hips down to my toes. Tomorrow we will go to a Celestial Seasonings Tea factory for a tour. It should be fine and not to strenous for us. They will fix dinner for us and then we will spend time in the hot tub.
Susan - I am sorry that you lost some of your lemons but at least you will have more this year than last year. Did the hail hurt your lime tree? It is a relief to hear that Kay is doing OK. I will be praying for Greg as he goes through his brother's things. I hope that the autopsy will help him get closure and might show some ways that he can improve his health so he can live a long life.
Barb - I agree with Susan that morphine does have a side effect of constipation by slowing down the movement of food in the intestines. Taking Miralax can help and I am sure the staff will be watching her closely. At the moment they are monitoring her more for the possible heart attack. I am interested in seeing what the echocardiogram shows tomorrow. What is the low light laser therapy they are doing for your eyes? So far Glenn's macular degeneration is stable but his other eye gives him problems if he reads to much. By the end of the day, he can not read small print or see details in the distance.
Judith - I hope things are OK with your posting today. I am on here early so maybe you can see my post now that I am on before you are unless you are posting right now.

Hello Team
It has taken me all evening and into Tuesday to get in here, I am exhausted, not sure what’s
Happening here. Will be back tomorrow to catch up with you all…

Good Morning Team
I have had issues with MFP since Monday and couldn’t get into my account, with changing my password and settings I finally got back in here. Please keep praying as I am hoping I won’t have any further issues.
I hope to catch up with you with my replies but think I will have to start fresh tonight when back on here. Thank you for
Your patience and understanding.1 -
Linda, I just read your post, that was quite a hike, glad you all turned around and went back to level ground. I am not surprised you would be sore. Hope you enjoyed the Tour today at the Celestial Seasonings Tea Factory. That sounds like a nice day and to have dinner later. Look forward to hearing all about your day when I am back tonight.
Susan, as you can see I am finally here, thank you for your help last night when I contacted you. I have since changed my settings and passwords and wrote them down in a face place for future reference should I have issues like I did with MFP. Now I have the info on my online file and in a book safely put away. So this gal is covered now. It sounds like quite the Hail storm with losing some lemons from your Dwarf lemon tree, so sorry but hope you do get the 4 lemons you mentioned you were hoping to get. So glad Kay is ok and back looking like her usual self. I feel for Greg as he is going through his brother’s personal belongings. It’s bound to stir up a lot of emotions. My prayers are with him. How is Eileen doing? Been thinking of her a lot and keeping her in prayer.
Barb, so glad you enjoyed your time away. It’s nice to have you back. I am sure the grandkids HH and Harry3’s and the rest of the family will be happy to have you back. So sorry the Walker is too big for the house and the one you got for Harry3 to try out. Do you know what type of Walker Harry3’s physiotherapist will now suggest? Maybe a Community Home Rehab Therapist should come in the home and access Harry3 & see size of home and recommend the right walker for both Harry3 and the right size for their home. I have had a Community Home Rehab Therapist for years, they are the ones who access my mobility and what equipment is needed for the home. They are great to have and are so needed. Does the States have these therapists? Hope so! You have been busy since returning home but I’m sure it’s nice being back in your own home sleeping in your own bed. Keeping your Mom in prayer and you and your sister. Please let us know how your 1st session went with having the Low Light Laser Therapy. This is a new therapy for me, is this a new therapy that is being used for Macular degeneration?
Feels good catching up and replying to your posts. Be back tonight. Have a great day all. God Bless! 🙏🤗

Judith I am so glad you were finally able to get back into MFP! Glad to be able to help you a little. I hope you don't have any more problems but know MFP will probably glitch again. Eileen is feeling relieved as her son, who lives in Europe, arrives today and will be with her till after the memorial service. She will be grieving for a long time but will be strong I think. Thank you for praying for her. Greg also has a lot to sort through. He'll get there.
Linda, I am gradually discovering more damage to all quite a few of my plants including the lime tree. We propped it up yesterday. My bromeliads took a bit of a beating as did one of my Orchids, the yellow and pink one. It's main leaf was split right in half. The dings and cuts are showing more as the leaves whither and turn brown. The plants will recover, just not be as pretty as they were. Wow, that was a big hike. No wonder you are so sore. I hope your new joints did well but that was a big test for them. The tea factory visit sounds much nicer than that hike!
Barb, glad you are getting good results from the new eye therapy. I'm sorry to hear your Mom may be having trouble with her heart as well as everything else. I hope she is well looked after. Yes, we occasionally have hail storms here but the one this week had larger hail than we normally get. They never last long, just do a lot of damage in a short time. That's disappointing about 3s walker being too big for the house. I hope they can figure out a solution for him to use it somehow.

Judith. So glad you got MFP working. Prayers it stays that way I know sometimes I loose mine try not to write a lot but one never knows. Harry is using a regular walker or a cane at the therapy place bye had both of them at their house I found out that the walker won’t fit in the master bedroom so guess we will take it back on Thursday when we help him get to therapy. We do have lots of places to get equipment in the states too. So my macular treatment was yesterday after the tests. It is LL L T. I believe it stands for low laser light therapy my 2 one is tomorrow. 2 sessions a week for 5 weeks. They are seeing good results. Inthe only one who has the adult Vitelliform dystrophy. Rest have dry AMD. Wet AMD won’t work. Mine is dry with center macula & not all along. So my tests did good. I’ll greatest half way in & when done.
Susan. So sorry yes, of we get big nailed it causes a lot of damage. Roofs get hail damage a lot too olus cars with. no garage. We don’t have a garage.
prayers as they got through Greg’s belongings that is hard.
Yes plants recover but may take time or can tell but with it beginning of spring and summer we pray it turns out ok. I use coffee grounds as a fertilizer so, that might help you. Can’t hurt.
So glad that Eileen’s son from Europe will be in town. What a help he can be. Prayers.Linda Your tour sounds nice did you get any tea or samples there? I found when walking like inthe snowy mountains inwyoming to sometimes walk with my foot sideways. It helps with the traction. Hope you had a good day.
So my mom did not have the elchocardigram. Not sure why she’s in the heart section of the hospital so that’s good she still has pain and is relieving some. Taking miralax 2 times a day. It takes time for the liver and it has to work harder.
I had some spotting today so i will see a gynecologist early November. I may have a camera go up to check me out. So I will meet the dr and hear all about it.
Today in Bible study we are studying John and chapter 11 we talked how Jesus delayed going to Lazarus untill he was dead 4 days. Sometimes God wants us to wait. Guess 3 and my mom are experiencing that. I say we all experience it.
Have a good Wednesday Susan and sleep well rest of us.0
