Oregon or Iowa?

AAAAA...Bob gave me a scare today. He looked outside and said that we lived in Iowa. Well, that wasn't something new. he's been saying that for months upon months. What scared me was that he said he wants to move back to Iowa. I helped him understand that even though I grew up in PA, where it snows a lot, I hate snow, and he couldn't ride his Harley year-round in Iowa. I told him if he wants snow, we can drive to the snow any day.

ahhh...thank goodness, he agreed. So, for today, we're not moving. :-)

Everyday, we plan on getting the wii out to begin wiiFit. So far, it hasn't happened. Our intentions are good. Aren't they? Yes!

Memory-wise, we reviewed a commodities training manual published by the Chicago Board of Trade. I thought the other day I was finally understanding the whole concept. Now, today, I don't think I understand much. Back to the high stress level. Ugh...

Zachary plays the trumpet with the choir tomorrow in church. Keep him in your thoughts. Also, some of the choir men/friends are going to help Bob walk up the steps into the choir loft so he can sing with the basses instead of sitting alone in front of the choir. I know he's going to cry.

PARTY
There will be a one-year Survival Party, May 29th for those who need more time to plan. That is Memorial weekend, so you'll have a four-day weekend. More details will be coming.

I will play again!

T is getting better each day. The nurse said today that he is more alert when I'm around. I'm the voice of authority, I suppose. :-D When I speak, Bob listens! ha...I'm a teacher; I wouldn't have it any other way. ;-)

"Asleep at the Wheel" was the cure again today. T was nodding his head to the beat of the music. You can tell he wants to sing and play his guitar in the worse way. He was tapping his fingers as though he was playing his guitar.

T was given a guardian bell from his cousin, Leslie, and her husband, Don. The bell is from Harley Davidson. The story behind the bell is that when hung from the bike, the bad demons are trapped in the bell, and when rung, the demons fall out. The biker is protected from bad things. If given by a friend, the protection is twice as strong. The bell is hung on the end of his bed; so, every time the bed is moved, the bell rings.

Prayer from Pastor Daryl:

God of grace and glory, holy comforter, healing Spirit, we give you thanks for Bob’s continuing recovery and renewal. Continue to reach out and bring him healing through the hands of those who care for him. Radiate through his life with the light of your presence, that renewed health and strength may be his. Grant to him and those dear to him the continuing assurance of your steadfast love and mercy that they may know the peace that comes from you; through Christ our healer. Amen.
