Sunday at home!

For many of you, that is probably the same old boring routine. Take it from us; boring and routine seem wonderful!  We actually got to go to church for the first time since Feb. When we are home we intend to go, but after Deb arises and showers, it's normally nap time again. However, the blessing of missing the experimental drug IVs yesterday and today is that Deb had much more get up and go-so she got up and went! Besides, the Dr increased her dex dosage which keeps her wide awake.

After church, Deb actually went to a restaurant for lunch! Like normal folks in normal times! Wow!

As I said, boring and routine are exciting for us!

It was wonderful to re-connect with so many old friends. We miss the worship, music, teaching, and relationships.

The emotion that Vern feels as a caregiver is abandonment. Now, we haven't been abandoned. Many friends stay very close and in touch with us, including you, our dear readers and bloggers. But, that is the feeling/emotion I have as a caregiver. It is a struggle to separate reality from emotions!

We anticipate heading back to Arkansas Thursday, depending on the weather. Stay tuned.

Blessings all!
