It was so good for my soul to have Brandon home last week! We sang worship songs together with his guitar. He went fishing with his Dad and brothers. We all celebrated Emily's birthday with a surprise family BBQ. He mowed the lawn. Drummed for church service. Painted more walls up high. Biked to the end of the spit and back several times, 20 miles under 1.5 hr. (Wow) Frolthed with friends. (Frisbee golf) And was a rock star in my kitchen: doughnuts, lasagna, chocolate chip cookies, gourmet hamburgers, cinnamon rolls, pizza... and did the dishes!! We laughed and cried and prayed together. Love him. He's back on the squid boat in CA again.
A day fishing on the bay Saturday seemed daunting, and I was exhausted, but what an adventure. I get out for daily walks and occasionally pull weeds. Scheduling a shared vehicle with Jordan is tricky as his days are full of fishing and mowing. He's mostly a good sport and a fine chauffeur! Office tasks aren't quite so overwhelming, but there are always challenges that bring instant tears. Sheldon tries to be patient as I work to keep accounts in good order. Communication just takes work. Very thankful my God is still working on me!
