Alice

At my parents Anniversary in September I noticed my Aunt Alice seemed much thinner. I talked to my parents about it and a few weeks later Alice informed us she had been making visits to her doctor and her cancer is back. She had been trying some new medication as part of a study at Mayo clinic. At the end of November, she went back to see if the medication she had been on for two months was working, it was not. We had all been praying for good results, family, friends,  neighbors, the church, but this was not the answer we had hoped for. That left many questions, many unknowns and more praying for all of us. My nature is to help. What is there that I can do?  I know there is nothing I can do to fix things, but I can help be there for Alice. I can talk to her on the phone, send cards and words of encouragement, I can visit and help with chores. Most important I can pray. I can pray for a miraculous healing, I can pray for Alice and the doctors and a treatment plan. I can pray that I will trust God in whatever his will be done. Now, we prepare ourselves for the unknown and will find our hope and strength in the Lord.

Volleyball

Jake  went with Karen after school and to the field. My mom, Luke and I went to Jayden’s  Volleyball game in Coon Rapids.  They played 4 games all losses. They were not having a good serving night and that really hurt them.  Still enjoy watching them learn.

Treasures

 In the morning we took 3 of our 4 cats to the vet for shots. The 4 th cat decided to wander this morning missing his appointment. On our way out, we passed a rummage sale and stopped. We got some major treasures for next to nothing. The church ladies were so fascinated with Jacob's interest in old radios and televisions. They just adored him and marked the prices way down and gave him some for free. We loaded up on kids books, got some board games, and a few other treasures. Jake ended up with a mini  television , an old radio and Polaroid camera. After lunch the boys went straight to the field. My friend Carolyn and her daughter Tabby came to ride horses. What started out to be a chilly day 45, turned out nice and sunny. We had coats on, but it was a great day to ride. We rode through our hay patch and along the waterway near the highway. It was a great way to spend the afternoon.

Dayton Fun Show

 It has been cold and windy for the past week, highs of 45. Today the sun was shinning and it got up to 60. There was one final horse show for the season at the Dayton arena. We took Jayden and Jacob while Luke went with Grammer and Po and was supposed to come later. It was a fun show geared for practice and the kids. Jake did really well on Winnie, he rode in walk and trot, barrels, and poles. He did some loping. Jayden did pleasure, milk can, barrels, poles, and a jumping event. Her horse Tex really jumps high for the jump event. Down in the arena, there was'nt any wind and the sun came out. It made for a nice day.
