Restful Waters

Today was a good day for Dave. Went to Mass early, out to breakfast and then shopping for natural and organic food (not easy tofind). Then when we got home Dave took a nap and I worked in the yard. Too hard to work! So I took Scruffy for a jet-ski ride! He is a hoot...he just sits there with his little nose in the air like he owns the river!! It was fun. Then I packed a "dinner" for on the pontoon boat so Dave and I and Scruffy took a late ride and had tuna salad sandwiches on home made brown bread...olives...mellons..apples..and ice tea. (treats for Scruffy too)
It was a day to be thankful for. Dave was feeling much better. Last week was scary....to day was a blessing. He still has a long way to go, but at least he is feeling more human again. I am sure it was just the flu last week.
Sure do miss the kids...(Jerra, Josh and Jake)after having them here (each one in different intervals) through the month of June; it is difficult not seeing them or talking to them. Would be great just to exchange e-mails with them all - perhaps when they get on line at home Jerra might slip in an e-mail to us once in awhile in between checking the hotties!! haha. No calls or word from Stacey either. We really miss her too. They all lead busy busy lives and have a large family all there in Georgia. I remember how fast time used to slip away when I was young (was I really ever young???) and raising my two kids. Every day seemed to go by too quickly. Davey calls regularly ...just says, "Hi Mom, how are you and how is Dad feeling? how about the Cubbies......tell Dad I love him" and that is is about it...and about the same each time.....but nice of him to call and check in on Dad. Sometimes if Dave is feeling okay, he likes to chat with Davey for a little bit. Seems Davey is busy too doing yard work every day or odd jobs. Busy lives that everyone leads. That is a blessing.
Sometimes time goes very slowing here on the restful waters at Serenity....and sometimes even peaceful when Dave is feeling good. Today was one of those day...we were thankful to live here at "Serenity" on restful waters. God is good. Thank you to all of you for all your prayers.
