God’s peace anyone who cares to read this blog.
It’s been a while since I posted anything. So let us see if there was anything worth posting:
1. Popo finally got therapy for his knee paid for by the insurance. I guess the insurance company did not want to pay for a knee replacement and that therapy. Pop was released to go back to work with no limitations last Friday. After Home D gave him some grief about not having hours to schedule him into, they called him in today for 4 hours, but had not put him into the computer yet.
2. I have worked the last 6 days at Washington Elementary School for a teacher whose baby girl had a major health problem. She spent over a week at the Cleveland Clinic. Please, PRAY for them. I could have worked more days but I promised ~~~
3. That I would be Sister Anthony at Camp Dennison, near Cincinnati. I will be there Wednesday night through Saturday night in my little tent.
4. Still working at the APL.
5. Pop put a little deck on the side of the house. That and the deck he put on the back are awesome. Should add $$$ to the house.
6. You may have heard that my step-mother and brother are moving to Sycamore Valley, Ohio near Marietta, Ohio. They say in the fall but the walls over there are bear and shelves are getting empty. If they are still here in June, I’ll be surprised.
7. This leads us to the question on everyone’s lips, “What are you planning to do, Babka?” The answer to this is really, “I don’t know.” First they have to really move. Then, we have to do some house fixing over there. Then, we have to sell Dad’s house. Then, maybe we can think about what we are going to do.
8. Pop and I have been walking on the beach quite a bit. It is great now because you don’t see very many people. We spend time together, yet get lost in our own thoughts. The mantra of the wave song in harmony with the west wind pulls your meandering thoughts to untroubled places. We hunt for “lake glass” and beautiful bits of rock rounded by the movement of the water. The lake ice of winter pushes up onto the shore, and like the glaciers, leaves as it melts a morainal supply of new rock for the tides to reclaim or break into sand. One point for staying in Ashtabula.
9. Each sunny glorious day, you hear everyone talking about how awesome the day is. People in Ashtabula praise God much more for a sunny, dry day. No taking a good Spring day for granted up here. By the time Spring truly shows her head, we are just about insane for need of the sun. If you can’t stand snow, you won’t last long in A-town. Is this a point for or against staying in Ashtabula?
10. The kitchen project is at a bit of a stall as I’ve been working and to lazy to paint when I get home.
11. WE miss family even more now that we will have no “family” up here.
12. Laura, has been burning her candle from all sides still.

I’ll let you all know how Camp Dennison was.
God’s speed to everyone.
