Another Summer Passed...

It's hard to believe that another summer is history.  I love fall...but I'm also always sad to say good-bye to summer.  Our trips to the lake are now numbered, my parents will be heading back to Florida soon, our hummingbirds will fly south ( we had 16 at out feeder this year! ) and of course soon we'll have s..w and cold!

But summer was so good.  We did many great things, we spent time ( never enough of course :-) with Mike & Jenny.  We got to see Jeff, Cheri and the kids, my sister Kim & Megan visited from FL, we spent a lot of time with Barb and Tom...God bless you both!

We are closing on our new home on September 13.  We are very excited!  It's been a tremendous amount of work...of which Don has done the brunt of it.  We were so fortunate to have Barb and my darling friend Jenny Guck come out and help us pack.  What a Godsend!  We started moving in this week...rather nice to be able to spread it out!  We are in the same town...and for those that are close friends here's the new address ...
829 2nd St No.

Health wise I'm ok.  I have constant pain...so I am now taking 40 mg Percocet per day.  This causes a bit of forgetfulness and slight confusion which is terribly frustrating and upsetting for me!  I've never claimed to be the smartest cookie ;-) but I've prided myself on being organized and bright!  This is a difficult side effect.  My balance is also not what it used to be.  This past weekend while at the lake, I tripped, fell and sprained my ankle.  Don ( and our sweet neighbor Barb Sheldon ) took me to the Bemidji hospital for X-rays.  It's still swollen, hurts like the dickens, and is really purple...just another day in the life of Kathy!

You may have noticed a new project that I am involved in...My Bucket List.  This is a non-profit organization started by my dear friends Rudy & Holly Ruether.  I am honored to be on the board of directors!  We will be granting 'simple bucket list wishes to adults with terminal illnesses'.  Please check us out on Facebook.  Our web site will be up very soon.  This is something that we are ALL very passionate about so I ask that you please take a moment to read about it!

As always I ask for your prayers for my family...especially for my Michael and my Donnie.  Thank you all for your love and support!

Blessings...Kathy xoxo
