Sunday Roll Call
Unbelievable
The God who gives us sunshine is being honored by many I suppose this morning.
I will soon be joining you worshipers as when I go to Willow and the music is finished they raise the shades on the side windows by the man made waterfalls and the light will come in as the sermon begins. Two sermons in one.
Golfers I am sure are ecstatic this year as they get out for a round or more in November. How are the rest of us using this wonderful sunshine?

Good Morning Randy and the state of Illinois.
I am still stuck in the house doing housework, but that is what happens when you are gone as much as we have been for the last month. The laundry is done for the last 2 weeks, I washed, dryed and rehung the shower curtain, do bookwork and I am now in the office cleaning it up. That is it for today! I do want to start arranging my holiday village since I added 3 buildings, and I am dying to see how it all fits in.
I am planning on a walk later this afternoon, after DH gets home. I have some mail I want to get out today.
I hope everyone is having a great day. Not sure how much I will be on this week. Another week from H.
Hugs,
LISA

Good Morning Randy and Illinois!
What a beautiful day yesterday! I felt blessed to be able to enjoy it. I had lunch with my friend that I have not seen for several years -- like i0 or 11 years. We have kept in touch via phone and email. It was a lot of fun to see each other again. I got home and it was so nice outside I cleaned out my car. I actually no longer have a garbage dump in my car and can see the floors and it smells and looks clean.
I came inside and opened my email and found out that my niece got engaged yesterday ---- in Italy!!! How romantic is that?
I haven't met the guy yet but I will at thanksgiving. My sisters have and say he is really nice and just worships her. I guess she got a HUGE ring. Must be nice.
Then my world fell apart. My sister told me that my nephew and his wife have been seeing a mediator to finalize their divorce plans and that Maura plans to move to Cincinnati. I just have a gut feeling that we will never have these kids in our lives again. Lanie is 7 1/2 with Down Syndrome and Maggie is 6. Maura is not a very good mother and my sister and her husband were/are the stability for these girls lives. Right now they live in the same town just a few blocks from each other and my sister has the kids almost half the time if not more. I just cannot imagine life without these girls. I can't stop crying.
I just have seen too much of this when parents move to different states, the children just never have the contact with their dad that they should have and it is all the mom and her family. I am heartbroken. I feel like it is a death.
On Tuesday my niece will be induced with her baby, so this is a week of extreme highs and lows for me. I don't do well with change and such dramatic changes is difficult for me. So any good vibes, prayers etc are greatly appreciated.

Dave and I have been to Willow and home. I have been to the grocery store to pick up a few things. Pot roast is in the oven as I write this. It will include the last of the carrot harvest from the garden. All the garden statues are in the shed, the driveway is blown of leaves (the cracks needed to have the gunk cleaned out), I still need to go out and pick what I think is the last of the herb harvest from the containers. Yesterday I got all the containers readied for the winter and the Topsy Turvys taken down and stored.
Ho Hum my work is never done!
We have a lot to do between now and this holiday

Oh, I meant to add that I am there with a lot of you that are hurting physically. I have had my challenges in the last few weeks. I have what I think is tendonitis (and heal spur is acting up) in my right foot. I pronate really bad and I have been wearing the wrong shoes. I do have an apt. with a pod. on Tuesday. I cannot wait to have it get better. We leave for the Dells on the 20th and we always like to do a lot of walking. Right now I am living on 8 hr Tylenol to be able to walk without pain.
