Blessings

The blessings continue!  These are all so great!!

Our van pooped out a couple weeks ago (you can ask Barry and Rick about that if you want details, tee hee).  Long story short - neighbor friend Melinda found out and called our friend Roy who owns an auto repair shop.  Roy and Rick got the van to Roy's shop - Roy had it back the next evening, working just fine.  AND we haven't received a bill from Roy.......

We needed some major yard trimming done this spring.  Les usually does all this stuff!  We called Mark who does yard work; he attends our church.  He came over and got the trimming done.  Such a nice guy - if you need yard work done, give him a call!  AND we haven't received a bill.........

We have some friends in Palm Springs.  They used to live up here and they attended our church. When they lived here, Les was Rene's "handy man" - he would help out with various odd jobs around Rene & Geraldine's house. We had a chance to visit them last year when we were in Palm Springs.  Anyway, Rene called awhile back to check in on us.   Rene found out that Les likes to listen to books on tape.  Two days later we received a FULL BOX of books and books-on-tape from David Jeremiah.  What an awesome surprise!  Les has been working through them - I believe he might be on the last one.  He has been so blessed by these books.  Les has also been passing them on - and others are being blessed!

Daniel takes pictures.  We have had him take family pictures in the past; he took the wedding pictures of Kris & Hannah.  He doesn't technically take family pictures anymore, but he came and took some of us a few weeks ago.  His wife Traci owns a hair salon and she recently sent over a gift certificate for a pedicure for me, Leslie and Hannah.  How sweet is that???  Such a great young couple.

Our long time friend Roby gifted Les and I each a massage.  Les' massage was in our house - I opted to go to the "spa" because I knew I would be more relaxed there.  We don't see much of Roby anymore but she continues to send thoughts and prayers our way.  Love ya Roby!

Niece Emily's bunco group brought over some single serve meals.  They also did this last fall when Les wasn't eating at all.  Such a great idea, and such a blessing for me.  I don't even know some of these girls!!  Servant hearts.

We had a good Father's Day.  My dad wasn't feeling well, but at least we had coffee with him and mom after church.  (My dad has Parkinsons.)  Our family had pizza at Kris and Hannah's in the evening.  It's so peaceful out there--the little red house in the country.  Les' brother Howard is visiting so he and niece Emily joined us.  A good day.  We are still focusing on just one day at a time.
