Blessings...

The Kids are at GOLD RUSH!!!!
They got the trucks unloaded last night, and are getting the booth set, this morning.
Show opened at 8, they are busy....busy!
I'm so Blessed to have Them.
Thanks, also to Katie, and Adam's Mom, Cindy... for watching the Grand Babes, while they are away.
I can't Thank Everyone, enough... who've been helping out. 
Gold Rush runs through Sunday.... hope you can go, and have Fun!!!!
I sure do miss it.
I miss Everyone...there.

Pal, Val... and Pal, Roxanne.
They brought me the beautiful French Cabinet.
that.... was tuff.
very... tuff.

Friend, Donita...
She brought this darling little statue.
She said it reminded her of me.
It reminds me, of Peg.
Donita is soooooo Thoughtful.
She and her husband, Charlie, have an Ornamental Concrete Farm, near Monticello, Iowa.
Whispering Pines.

My Pal, Kate.... She brought flowers, and... supper...and... Cookies, the other day.
I can't begin...to tell you, what a Gift....she has been, in my life.
She's one of the most Amazing Women, I've ever known...in my life.
I've Admired her, since the very first time we met. That, was over 20 years ago.
She reminds me, of Katherine Hepburn, in many ways.
Truly, an Amazing... Soul.

I'm posting a short video, above... along with today's....
 that I took, after Val, and Roxanne left, the other day.
It was such... a difficult, day. 
Most days, are...but, there's Many...Blessings, too.
Too many.... Changes.  
My Friend, Judy... sent me a lovely, note...concerning it.
Thanks.... Judy. 
This is more typing, than I can stand, right now.
Love...you All.
Thank you all... for the continued Prayers.
You...are All...in mine.

Workin' on Healin'


I added a Video above... so I don't have to TYPE!!!!
oh my. 
These are two images of my arm and leg. 
oh my.
What a Mess!
My leg is healing...really well, I think.
Praise God!!!!
In the video, I didn't mention many Folks, I want to Thank....
I want to be Sure, and Thank Wanda Tuetken, and Patti Bailey.
Wanda, has went Above and Beyond. She worries over me, like a Big Sister.
Bless her heart. 
Patti, too. She checks on me...and gently scolds me, about taking care of myself.
Bless her heart.
I can be kind of stubborn, and make my Friends worry, I'm sorry for that. 
Thank You, for keeping me in your Prayers. 
They Matter.
Love...You,
Barb C.
