Mama may get out of the hospital today! She called last night and the doctors are pleased with her results and how she is doing. The are giving her a dose of iron because her iron levels are low. Maybe that will help with her energy! She still has a ways to go... but she is still moving forward!

Yesterday we stopped by mom's... talked with Sharon about mom.... took her sheets to wash and picked some clean clothes up for her... and stuff. We thought we would stop by Ryan's game on the way to the hospital since we thought it is right around the corner. He wasn't playing there. Come to find out he was at North Kitsap. I was sad. So we visited mom and took her a balloon with a smiley face to keep her smiling and a card! Visited for awhile and ordered her lunch and Libby came. We came home and had a quiet afternoon. Talked with June and Sharon for quite awhile.

Woke up before 5 this morning.... Papa left early to go make mom's bed back up. What a sweetheart! He is such a good guy! Seriously! He has changed so much the last couple years.
I could have gone in this morning but he said no. He also said "go back to sleep" but I didn't. I kept hearing voices in my head... depending which way I turned my head. Come to find out... it was coming from papa's alarm/radio. lol! At least I am not crazy .... yet.

Please keep my aunt Lorraine in your prayers. Apparently she didn't understand that "postponed" trip meant to unpack and wait. June talked to her again to explain about mom and she hung up on June. I wish her mind could understand that she can't help mom right now. I understand the need for them to see each other... mom is feeling it too.... but I also found out yesterday that Aunt Lorraine has only 20% heart function. I think we better get mom healthier and take her to see Lorraine instead. Douglas says 20% is not good at all. Please pray she can understand and not be angry at anyone. It is no ones fault mom is sick. In June's heart she was truly doing something good for her mom.... I feel so bad it couldn't work out. I think we've all shed some tears over all this. But like I said before.... they are still young.... they haven't reached 100 yet and now I think we need to get mom healthy and take her to see Lorraine.

I have Makoa today! My only day this week. That makes me sad. But Grandma priority rules. I haven't seen hardly anything of my grand kids.... even with school out. I am missing them. Of course, two are across the country on vacation! Sounds like they are busy and having a blast! ;D

Searched the whole living room... camera is not there. Checked deep into every cushion and under everything with a flashlight. :(( I am praying to God to help me .... because I know He knows where it is at. He'll bring me to it. I know it.

Did you notice the date on the top of the Saturday Post and Norman Rockwell picture? Today... only 91 years ago. Cool, huh? Here are some memory pictures from the last couple days....

6-27-08.... two years ago of Lauren in our pool. I love this picture!6-26-03 Riley kissing mama!
6-25-09 The girls on vacation!6-24-05 Andrew enjoying some ice cream!6-23-88 Ryan and his broken finger. Makes it tough to play baseball.

I have been a slacker on my memory pictures! But I am up early and have time today.

ANDREW'S DEVOTION: READ PROVERBS 3:1-10

(The Lord gives you all things: wisdom, strength, love for others, etc. You owe the Lord so much for everything He gives you and a lot of the time He doesn't get anything in return. Every time you remember this.... thank God for what He gives you! - Andrew)

Have a great day today! Keep praying! xoxo

Weather to Expect This Week:
A few light passing showers, mostly north will start our work week. Look for some afternoon sun breaks and cooler highs, around 67 with light wind.
Low pressure moving slowly into B.C. will keep partly cloudy and cool conditions Tuesday and Wednesday. Highs sit in the mid 60s, making this one of the cooler Junes on record.
Thursday and Friday bring morning clouds and afternoon sunshine. High temperatures will rebound back into the upper 60s
The July 4th weekend looks partly cloudy and 65-70.

Dear Joyce,

Praying a request for you to find your camera, for you to have strength to deal with your mama and aunt, for you to have fortitude and endurance to stick to your health goals. (Kudos) I'm still motivated by you!!!, and am thankful for the little devos from Andrew... Yes. Out of our heart truly come all the issues of our days. We should guard them well ---like a sentry guards from the walls of a fortress!! I know that keeping God's Word hidden in there and then protecting it like it is a REAL treasure will give us the peace and success and comfort we desire so much. Thanks Andrew! Hugs to you Joyce. Jesus Christ is your Warrior Lord who gives you the strength you need to face all you will meet in battle today, and at the end He will still be walking beside you. Rah. This is our confidence-giver and courage- builder today!!! Hugs across the miles, bloggy sis!!!

It sounds like your Mom is on the mend and that is prayer answered:) I hope Aunt Lorraine will get to talk to your Mom on the phone, perhaps that will help her understand. I think taking your Mom to see her is a great idea and she can have a little vacation too.

Papa is surely a fine fella to go fix the bed before work... WOW!

Love and prayers heading your way my friend!

Hugs!
