Early Start-- It's a Holly-Day!




UP at 4am.

G spent the night at Meg's house so Holly could sleep in her own bed, which is a good thing. The least amount of disruption the better. That said, he has to work today, so I got up at 4 to shower and get ready for the day-- and Holly and I started our day at 5:15. "Cowboy bunny! Yeehaaa!" and off we go.

Today, I hope to get some bread baked, and get some groceries. Anything else will be a bonus. Meg's bestie from forever ago is going to hang out with Holly for a bit so I can scoot to the store-- I am not up to wrestling a toddler into and out of the grocery cart.

We have a good plan in place, and we will keep things going. Yes, there are going to be wrinkles in the plan and probably hiccups in the execution of it, but in the long run, as long as all people and critters are warm, fed, and dry, we are doing what we need to do.

In the meantime, if you are a praying person, please do. Every voice lifted to heaven helps. If you are able to donate to the Go Fund Me, it will be a huge help: they are now down to one income for quite a while, and the future medical bills, even with insurance, are the things of nightmares. If you can, here's the link:

If you'd rather help out with travel expenses for Meg, please let me know. She has PayPal and Venmo, and gas cards are helpful, too. We are in this for the long haul, and together, we will make this work.


Thanks,

NEW FROM FINISHING LINE PRESS:  What to Keep   by Carlene M. Gadapee On SALE :     https://www.finishinglinepress.com/product/what-to-keep-by-carlene-m-gadapee/   What to Keep  is a collection of keen #observations: choices made, minor regrets, small successes, and questions asked. There aren’t always answers to the questions, but the #poems in this collection explore the particular things and #experiences that lead us to them. Readers are invited into the poet-speaker’s musings about #childhood, of #family, of #companionship, and of #loss. We follow the speaker as she walks through time: capturing minnows, high school crushes and college mistakes, #marriage, the deaths of parents, and finally, a note of hope for the future, whatever it may have in store. In the end, “what to keep” becomes what remains, what is precious, and what forms the foundation of a #life filled with joy, sorrow, and finally, of contentment.   A poet-teacher both by vocation...

Keep good thoughts, please...

If you've been following along the blog this summer, then you probably already know that today, G has surgery on his foot to (we pray) correct the ongoing injury so that it will finally heal. If you are a praying person, please keep him in yours. It has been a very long summer of "hurry up and wait" and he's anxious and growly, and he wants to get back to doing. To get back to work. To stop sitting and thinking about all of it.  I'll be online in my writing conference (isn't it always the way, things have to collide like this?), but since it's day surgery, I should have an update early on. Thank God for Meg, as she is running point on the medical side of things.  I hope I have good news to share tomorrow.  C

More prayers-- there's so much to pray for--

Hey folks, things are unsettled --even more than they have been-- and your prayers, good thoughts, and positive vibes are needed and welcome. Geoff continues to heal (we hope), but that road is rocky and uncertain. He's pretty much out of commission for the foreseeable future, even though he *thinks* he can do more than he is supposed to. Crutches are a pain, but are critically necessary. Thus, he has next to no practical mobility. Tim is back in hospital in Boston, and they will be trying to ascertain the source of the fever he's running and has been for a couple of days now. I have zero idea what is up, but we pray it's not another huge hurdle. Meg is doing her best, but it ain't easy. She's headed to Boston in a few hours, and we hope she'll be able to come home in a few days. She is once again not able to get to go to work, so help is always appreciated. G and I have Holly, a friend of Meg's has the new puppy, and we're just gonna do our best.  The r...
