Generous Friends!

Tuesday evening we were blessed with a wonderful delivery of a homecooked dinner extravaganza from our friends the Spiros and the Caldwells. Dianne and Beth Anne arrived with armfulls of food and treats, they looked like professional caterers, only with more of a personal touch! This was the third "get well meal" we'd been given, and let me tell you, I have been so grateful for our friends' generosity. It's not like I'm bedridden, or the one recovering from surgery, but to have some really great meals that I didn't have to do much to put on the table for the 5 of us has really helped me out!

Update on David - he said this a.m. that he is preparing to run in the Seattle Marathon. NOT!
This was muttered right after waking from another uncomfortable night of broken sleep and pain. Yes, he is getting out now for short walks (yesterday we went to the main road of our neighborhood), but he's frustrated that he doesn't feel like he's getting stronger faster and still is in so much pain. Also, the nerve pain and weakness in his leg/foot is not gone, although the course of meds he was given to help with that is now over. Yes, I'm sure he's getting healed, slowly but surely - it's just a long battle and hard for such an active guy.

My step sister Sharon, is also recovering from her brain surgery. She wrote recently that it's also a slow process but my parents report she is doing remarkable well and we think it might already be having a positive result on her Parkinsons! Thank you God!

The above photo is a pretty little pedestal platter created by my friends "The Divas" - Dianne & Valerie. They've been making and selling lots of various patterns/designs this past year. This was a gift from Dianne and Beth Anne and came loaded with yummy bar cookies as the dessert to our meal this week! Thank you again, so much!
