Today has been an awesome day. I did the laundry and then we got probably 80% of everything packed into the car. That all feels good, but we’re both exhausted. The best part was, though, that Bob Dwyer, our friend from Hawaii called and then he sent pictures! That’s Bob pictured on the blog tonight; he’s a great friend, so it was really fun to get his phone call. Then tonight a girl from the Breast Cancer Stories site called me! She’s always been such an inspiration to me and I never expected a phone call from her. Little did I know that she lives in Spring, out where Doris lives! We’ll get together when I come down for a check up in July, I hope! Then one of our canasta buddies called to ask us to play canasta at their house on Saturday night! Man, that sounds good to me! She promised to prop me up if I’m tired. HA! That’s the kind of friends we have; whatever we need they are right there with it!
Thanks, Bob, Ronetta, and Jo Ann for your calls today!
God has blessed us so richly; this trip has been interesting all the way, but it’s going to be so good to get home. It’s been fun working around the apartment today, planning to leave it in tip top shape for the next folks who have the pleasure of being here. I hope they love it like we have. God will be here for them, too. Isn’t it great how He can be here for them and go home with us, and be at your house, too! I love it!
Wow! Bob Dwyer!! Be still my heart! He could have been a movie star, but was too busy building a pretty house and raising his girls! Love putting a face to a name.
ReplyDeleteJo and Don, 31 years! What a blessing. I love the anniversary picture - you both look so healthy and happy:) So glad you will be headed home Friday morning. I can just feel the door closing on this Houston saga! Prayers for a safe trip home, Love you both, Linda Rose (Loved the rose magnet book mark, and will be sure to keep the quote you sent Tom.) You are so precious. xxxooo
Linda, you are such a hoot; yes, Bob Dwyer is a great looking guy and the best part about him is that he's good all the way to the core. He's a great guy to know.
ReplyDeleteYes, it's been a blessing to have a wonderful partner for all these years. He's been especially inspirational to me through this cancer journey. I think he may get tired of me thanking him for being such a great support, like he would be any other way. (But lots of guys bale when the going gets tough!)
So glad you liked the rose book mark; hope you'll be reminded of me when you're reading. Thanks so much for your prayers and love!
Love,
Jo
