We returned from our trip to California last week. It ended up being a "working vacation" of sorts, trying to help care for my folks. My mom was in a Care Facility when we arrived and going back to the hospital for the third time in five weeks. To make a long story short. . . she's back home and hopefully she'll be able to stay there. I thought we would get to go see friends and family in Utah but it just didn't work out. I'm glad we were able to spend so much time with my parents but I feel somewhat powerless to be able to help them, living so far away. I've actually been a little depressed about the whole thing. Hopefully I'll be able to gain some inspiration and understanding about the situation as time goes on. Anyway, as for the trip, we were able to see Angie in Missouri and go to Historic Nauvoo which was a real treat. On the trip, my laptop got a bad virus which I still haven't gotten fixed so I'm left to try and blog on our antique computer. We'll see how long that lasts. Its great to be home. I've now lived in North Carolina longer than anywhere else in my life so I feel like I can now officially say it's "where I come from. . ." "Mid pleasures and palaces
though we may roam,
Be it ever so humble,
there's no place like home."

Oh, I'm so sad that I missed you when you were here. I wish I had known, we would have loved to kick back with you.
ReplyDeleteIt's sounds like things have been very hard going in CA. We pray for peace for every one involved.
Take care.
HI Beth! Glad you made it home safely. I'm sad I didn't get to see you when you were here....I had my surgery and it went great. I got to come home yesterday and the nurses and doctors were amazed at how well I am doing! Beth you have done all you can do for your parents and I know just having you come and visit was a blessing to them and to Martha. I'll call you soon so we can have a nice visit over the phone again!
ReplyDeleteI am glad that you made it home.I know that Dave missed you. I hope things will work out for your parents and caring for them. I saw Jessica last night at the fireside.
