Starting at the end of this week, my schedule will heat up. I'll be attending a seminar at DePauw on Saturday with my friend and co-grandma Judy, for a church history project. Then I have a doctor's appointment, long overdue, which requires a blood test just prior. Then I will head up to my daughter's for a week to assist getting some stuff done in prep for her guests-to-come. Immediately thereafter, I will go to Dayton for the radio Hamvention. Just a few days after that, I will have houseguests for Race weekend. While I sit on my butt and do nothing around here, I realize that I need to get the posterior moving in order not to embarrass myself!! Busy month! I don't mind. It's just a bit challenging because, normally, if I can just accomplish one thing a day, I consider myself lucky.
Yesterday, my lawn was mowed by my friend James. James is a young man (40-ish) with multiple health problems but has a work ethic out the roof. He and his wife--my former student Amy--are struggling to support four kids (two his; two hers). They are never out of my heart. It hasn't been easy for them. One of the young-uns has an anger problem and has caused no end of concerns, but I pray for him/them and hope for the best. It isn't because he isn't loved...
When May is over, I may fall into a dead heap. Not sure what my grandchildren's summer schedules are, but I hope to have them here some this summer without parents. Grandma isn't as much fun as everyone else, but I have other grandparents to help! Only God knows how much more time we will have together!
