@phideaux, I've waited to say something, because I hoped time would provide me with the right thing to say. But there simply isn't a right thing to say for what you're going through. I am so, so sorry for your loss.
Yesterday my DH and I were driving to the farm, feeling a little stressed out about all the things we need to get done. I read your post out loud to him - and suddenly our perspective is changed. We know we are blessed to driving down the road feeling a little stressed about all we need to get done, and we are grateful. It can all change on a dime.
We prayed for both families, and for you and yours as well. And we will keep you all in our prayers.
Congratulations!Good evening y’all! I am over the moon right now. Have been all evening.
We have a realtor!!! Now we know what the next steps are in this grand adventure! Some of the nicest people! (hopefully a certain person doesn’t read this or I’ll be blushing forever) It was all I had to actually hang up the phone. I miss good people! Felt so comfortable taking to them. To know our dreams could really come true. I have hope for the future and feel like this could actually be a reality now! So many uncertainties cleared up. It‘s not just looking at properties now. We will actually (hopefully) be able to make an offer. Next step is getting the financing stuff squared away (didn’t know it’s ok to do that beforehand) so we can take the next step. We WILL be ready when our dream property comes up.
Went to town and was able to get everything except for milk and cheese. None to be found at the stores I went too. Picked up so,e potatoes to can and put away and some celery to FD for future use. Also “scored“ some cabbage. Going to attempt sauerkraut again now that the weather is colder.
Barely made it home before hubby left for work but did get to fill him in on the move info. He’d already done most of the chores so I may process another harvest moon and get the celery ready for the FD’er.
Hope y’all had a great day! Don’t mind me.just over here dreaming about freedom and happiness
Prayers went upIt is cold. Warmed up here to 20 degrees, and that's as good as it gets today. Went into the bigger town today for our tax appt, went to Aldi and stocked up, but there were tons of empty holes. I bought a half cart of pantry food, but the other half was fresh food. Sale on cherries, grapes, and strawberries. All favorites. Grocery put away, and the grandkids will be home, soon. Need to work on the bathroom yet. Sad news for my cousin's daughter. She got worse last night, is in the hospital (covid and pneumonia) and I heard that they have her o2 as high as they can without ventilating her. I know it's not the prayer thread, but prayers for
Ellen Schrock, please. Wife of an amish minister (Nathan), and mother of five.
Jack Russell terriers are such fun dogs. A friend has a Jack Russell / chihuahua mix. It is so fast. When it gets to the dog park, it takes off running, and all the other dogs take off chasing it. Evidently they are high energy dogs.My favorite cousin's grandson bred his Jack Russell terrier with a miniature poodle. Jackapoo. They are three weeks old and adorable. Five of them.
So sorry for the loss of your friends Jim, Mrs. Jim.Not a good day for me and my wife.
A really good friend I go to church with , died in his sleep this morning.
Later in the day a good friend that lost his house to the tornado, was living in an RV , a propane heater caused a fire then an explosion , he made it out, his dear wife and 18 year old grandughter did not.
The girl always called me papa , she was like my own , and so beautiful and so smart.
I'm devastated.
Heart broke.
Got 3 funerals in next few days.
Please pray for the Culp family and the Mays family.
Jim
That looks beautiful!Our home-building has been quite an experience. Spent about two years drawing out ideas on graph paper - but seeing it go from 2D to 3D is pretty amazing. One thing that was important to me was to have a lot of windows on the back side of the house - so we could see the wildlife, see the changing sky, and to simply enjoy the view. One thing I never thought of was the southern winter light. It is simply beautiful coming through the windows. We are so blessed that we will be able to enjoy this amazing winter light. The photo doesn't do it justice.

I had a student who had diabetes. One day he started vomiting. I knew that with a diabetic, this can get serious fast. Other students went out to recess and I went to the office to get his contact information and to use the phone. I called everyone on his contact card and no one answered their phones, because they were all out to lunch together. I called his doctor and explained what was going on and asked what to do. His response was to give him a spoonful of coke every 10 minutes, or something similar. (25+ years ago). Finally, his parents got home from lunch, called the school and came to get him.This is odd...
So I made chili tonight. Had a nice big bowl and settled in to enjoy the rest of my Saturday evening. About 9:00 I started to feel dizziness, like vertigo, but different. Around 10:00 I got sick to my stomach, but not like normal - I barely threw anything up. It wasn't like my body was trying to get rid of everything in it, it was really weak. 10:30, same thing. And now my guts are settled down, still a little intermittent dizziness, but nothing terrible. My temp is 97.7, blood sugar is OK, blood pressure and pulse are ok...but I'm laying on the bathroom floor because my mind is telling my body not to move. I can move, but it seems like way more effort than what it should take. It's really strange. I'm hoping it was the chili, and not something worse. I'm deathly afraid of gastrointestinal bugs. As a type 1 diabetic, those things can kill me in a few hours. It has almost happened to me twice before. I need to figure out what the hell is going on here...
I understand what that doc was trying to do, but...I had a student who had diabetes. One day he started vomiting. I knew that with a diabetic, this can get serious fast.
