Just Another Not-so-Manic Monday

Happy Monday everybody,

Sorry, it has been a while since I blogged. I will try to keep you updated.

Friday was pretty uneventful for us. John went to therapy for a short while on Friday. He walked by himself with the physical therapist and she adjusted his cane which I was unaware could be adjusted. Boy, did I feel stupid.

My family came for Thanksgiving on Saturday. There were about 19 of us including babies and kids. It was so great to see everybody. My nephew, Shawn, and his family came with the new baby. The baby is so tiny; he looks like a little doll. My niece Michele and her boyfriend Brian and the girls were here, also. We do enjoy seeing all of the kids. My brother Mike, his wife Robin and my niece Hannah were here. Bill and Denita Reed also came. And, of course, Cejae and Adam were here. We ate so much. We are all so much like my Mom in that we, evidently, don't think there is going to be enough food so we just keep cooking. It was certainly delicious and there are plenty of leftovers. Everybody thought John was doing so well, and he is. We had such a great time. Michele, Brian, Cejae, and Adam stayed a while and we played games. That was a lot of fun and we so enjoyed everyone coming.

We went to church yesterday morning and again last night. John continues to enjoy seeing everyone. He was a greeter yesterday and Delores said everyone was trying to get to him to talk to him. I tell you, he's Mr. Popularity wherever he goes. How nice. We so enjoy being back in Sunday School and church. John said, "It is so nice hearing about God again." We take so many things for granted. We don't always consider going to church an honor or a privilege, but we are so thankful that we are able to attend our wonderful place of worship again. What an honor it is to serve a living, active God that still answers prayers. We are a blessed people.

I don't think John feels very well this morning. He got up, drank coffee and is back asleep on the couch. Maybe some days are just like that. He has been through quite a lot, so I suppose he is entitled to rest a little bit. We so appreciate your continued prayers for us; they mean so much. We go back to Chicago again next week. I will try to blog every few days for those who faithfully follow. It is a nice way to keep in touch. Thank you for all of your comments. Have a great day.

Love,

John and Cathy
