![]() We both had 1 child from previous marriages. It hangs in my living room along with a similar one of my husband, Steve, and I sitting on a rock looking back at the camera. The picture in the heading is over 20 years old. Steve also, just remembering the JOY in the Lord. I trust Lord in your time you will draw him and he will fill that empty spot. Now I pray most of all for a resolution for Jake, that he may find the joy and hope that he is seeking. God has been good to us in his provision of a job for me. But for the days that I may need to sit with silence and grumpiness I have saved some good reads. I choose to get up, get moving and ignore it. Back and shoulders remind me each day in the morning that I am still an arthritic older lady. So keeping busy keeps my pain level tolerable.

Next week is Mom and I annual, and I say this loosely because it is a second annual trip, quilt show and Aunt Barb visit. What bothers me is it is all so secretive and makes me wonder if Jake is truly compassionate with his time or commiserating.It has been a year since Grandma has passed, It is hitting Jake and Steve hard. As far as I can tell Ryan lives alone in a house with no electricity, his father passed away last fall, and his mother lives somewhere else with her boyfriend and Ryans younger brother.

I am hoping he will reach out and meet some people if his daughter is less available. Less time for Dad, he seems to resent that. All this between sewing a birthday doll skating costume for my neice Holly. Painting, knocking out closets, planning storage areas that are bright and usable. Have been working on my sewing room which is going to turn into a lovely studio and storage area. It triggers a response of lets get things new and bright in the house too. The feeling of rebirth and new growth satisfies deep in the soul. Watched a gray squirrel do calistenics to get seed from brid feeder this am.
