Trip to Mt. Rainier

John and Liz were kind enough to drive us to the beautiful Mountain.
For some reason there was a delay of 45 minutes. We had our nephew from Milwaukee with us and he seemed to enjoy the trip and didn't mind the wait. We visited and had some funny stories to exchange.

Here are some photos of our day.

At Peace

Joe passed away yesterday at 2:13 p.m. I had hoped I would be with him and it happened.
I will miss him but I am so happy that he is out of the painful life experience that was his for too long.
Our family has been so loving, helpful and supportive.
I thank Hospice for their much needed help and kindness.
Rest in Peace Joe.

NEW LIFE

Joe is reaching the end of his life on earth and will  be entering a new life.
To me it will mean peace of mind and happiness without worldly strife.
I won't know for sure until my cycle comes to a close but I am happy with
peace of mind and spirit.

RETURN TO THE BLOG

As soon as I have something interesting to share I will be back.
Right now my  only concern is Joe's happiness and peace as he struggles with many
health problems.
One positive is his discovery that he has a  loving family. The help we  receive
from our children never ceases to amaze both Joe and me.
I will elaborate later.
Time to check my fantastic husband.

Thanks Mike,

You are a genius and a fantastic son!

Father Ed White blessed us with a visit.

We were so happy to see Fr. White today. He gave Joe the blessing of the sick and gave us both the Eucharist. We feel so fortunate. It has been a good day.

Sorry the photos are not good but the company was so welcome. They stayed for several hours.
I was in the middle of making biscotti when Joe spotted them.
