Well, it's been a few days. Busy days. I worked 4 nights this week. It wasn't bad, but doesn't leave much time for updating blogs! ha! Actually, at work it was a really good week. I always love it, but it was nice to have a the same group of patients all week, and they were awesome people!! Cancer patients are inspiring!
Speaking of which, since yesterday, I have been thinking so much of the Clites Family. Fondest thoughts and memories go their way! Death from cancer seems to give so many mixed feelings to those left behind. We are so thankful for her steadfastness in life, her faithfulness, and so we can know she has gone to her reward. But then, what about those left behind. How can we grieve for someone who has gone on? Why do our hearts tug, and miss her? She was a wonderful wife and mother. Death: another milestone in the continuum of life.
We were with Darren and Rebecca again last night. Their house is coming along nicely. 3 weeks from today is their wedding! The pressure is on.... They hope to finish the bathroom today, so they can rip apart the other one! Her parents are there.... so her and her mom are going to be decorating. It is going to be adorable.
The kids and I are home today. Gotta get some housework done. Then maybe some shopping later on. Leigh has worked some in our kitchen this week, and we are ready to buy some more supplies. So, I may pay a visit to Lowe's.
My dear old Dad turned 60 this week. I can't quite figure out how my parents are pushing the limit for retiring??!! How did they get to be this old? I know, I know, when I am 60 I won't believe how young it is. But, it is just sobering to think of how we age. Anyway, we are planning to celebrate his birthday next weekend. All of us kids are going home to spend the day together on Saturday the 27th. It seems whenever we all go home, we all have our own agenda, and maybe don't spend a whole lot of time together. We jokingly refer to mom's house as the hotel. We plan to cook stew/soup over an open fire next weekend. Sounds pretty fun.

Jill, I don't think I've told you how much I enjoy your blog, though I've been meaning to. It seems that every time I see you I forget to tell you, so I'll take this opportunity. It's fun to read of your family's doings and to share in your life a little bit via the internet.
I didn't know that Sally Clites died. I appreciated your thoughts on death - so true.
