All is "well"...

Good morning!  Ollie and I are in East Texas on a shopping trip for our business, but I remain in frequent contact with Mom.   Things at the Smith house have gotten into a new "routine."  Dad is not in pain but does have infrequent discomfort in his abdomen.  Tylenol is managing that on an as-needed basis.  Mom says Dad sleeps most of the day but goes to the living room in the evening to watch television.  His favorite channel is the Western channel, of course!  He will watch an old Western movie until about 11 p.m. and then will go to bed for the night.  He is up less frequently than he was a week ago, so the weekday night-time caretaker, Christina, keeps herself busy by cleaning the central part of the house!  It's refreshing to have a helper who wants to stay busy! 

Mom is doing well and getting much better rest sleeping in the other side of the house.  I know it's lonely for her to be over there and Dad to be in their room.  After all, they have not slept apart for almost 66 years!  Yes, they will celebrate their 66th wedding anniversary on May 5th.  Also, Mom's 86th birthday is May 3rd.  If you'd like to send a birthday or anniversary card, their address is 6850 CR 120, Marble Falls TX 78654.

I'll be going out there in the next few days and will give you a more detailed report then.  I appreciate each and every one of you so much for your thoughts and prayers on Mom and Dad's behalf. 

I am happy to report that Lori and Matt Bisson's baby son Sam is getting stronger and healthier! Praise God!  Please continue to pray for him, his family and his caregivers!

Have a safe and wonderful day!

He has showed you, O man, what is good. And what does the Lord require of you? To act justly and to love mercy and to walk humbly with your God.

Amen!
