Sushi with Jen and Troy

October 30, 2007

McFalls Ferry road off route 74, amid the farms and rolling land, had a little park where we made some lunch. Then hurried off to Haverstown. Our hurry ended with rush hour traffic just a few miles from our destination. The sun had set by the time we got to Jen&Troy's (see pics below) Jen was already home; she had run four miles as she does most evenings keeping fit. We hugged and Will went through the stopping for the night procedure while Kathy went in the house with Jen, both of them talking a mile a minute catching up and renewing their Aunt/Niece thing. Troy had just finished mudding the dining room; that is where he put a layer of plaster over the entire room filling holes, cracks and dents in preparation for painting. They already have the royal red drapes with velvet roses; the walls will be a golden caramel. They are accenting the tall ceilings in the room with a 6-inch crown molding. Look for pictures in Better Homes!

Troy arrived home and we put together our list for sushi. Jen called the order in and the guys went to pick it up with a stop at a local bar for some man talk and beers. Kathy got a sneak peek at the wedding dress. All she is saying is…..wow! Have to wait til next August for pics of the bride.

Jen set up our meal in the livingroom and we enjoyed sushi and stories. Here is a special one: Someone that Jen knows had been trying to have a baby, but couldn’t. They tried to adopt, even had the room ready and were suppose to bring home a baby, but it was called off. Then, out of the blue one day a girl who had told her mother, a nurse at a local hospital about this Someone, called and said that the mother knew a young girl that was giving her premi twins up for adoption. The Someone couple called and met with the young girl and the young boy and had many talks and signed many papers. Everything has worked out; the Someone couple are now guardians of the twins with full adoption to come the end of November. What a nice story for both the young girl and boy who can now live the life of young people and the Someone couple who so desperately wanted children now have two.


Jen and Troy, thanks for the wonderful time!

Houston Fest Galax, VA

We arrived in Galax, VA and stopped at our friend, Harold's. He was just putting the finishing touches on a cake he made for his nephew.  Harold is great in the kitchen! Brenda arrived!  We had a nice meet and greet. We went to the school across the street with Brenda and Harold and met Linda who likes hugs. Each day the three of them and others from the community volunteer to prepare backpacks of food items for children who otherwise would good the weekend hungry. They have fund raisers to get money and purchase food items that children can manage for breakfast and lunch.  They also get donations.  There is a man in Florida that heard about their need for food so ships items from Amazon.com for them to distribute. They get everything organized then run an assembly line to package items. The bags are then sent to the classrooms where the teachers put them in the children's backpacks so that no one is called to any attention. Time to head to Houston Fest whose mission is to hon

Pandemic

 This has been a strange year. We arrived in Florida in March and have stayed home since. That is about 6 months now. The Covid-19 virus has set the world to be a different place with stay at home orders, restaurants and bars closed, shelves in the grocery stores empty of toilet paper and antiseptic good, virtual school and doctor visits, hospitals that don’t let visitors enter and no only emergency care, wearing a mask when you are in public and people staying six feet apart. Who knows what the new world will be like after this.

Hospital Stay to Camping Out

Update: morning started early with vitals checked every four hours, bloodwork ( interesting side note: you are given an IV port in the emergency room, but that port is not used to retrieve blood for any of the various tests once you are admitted. Instead someone comes and draws blood through a new prick hole each time. ).    I started taking a new pill, Imdur, that helps keep the arteries open. It gave me a terrible headache so I won’t be taking that again!    Went for a CT angio of the chest. Then I waited       It is now 3:00 and they are going to discharge me!!    Yippie. That was about three weeks ago. Since then life has made a 360. We bought a house!! A touchspot really because we still plan to travel. We bought a new to us PleasureWay!! We are scrubbing and painting the house. It is the best way to get to know your new space. And it makes it your own. I take it slow and sit more than I remember doing in days gone by, but we are just ma
