Wow, I can't believe almost a whole month has past since I last wrote in my blog! Time seems to go so fast.
Grandpa has been very busy this month. Every Tuesday and Thursday he has been volunteering at the concessions stand for the Nauvoo Pageant. On the days that he volunteers he leaves home in the morning to go to work at about 6:15am. He goes straight from work over to the concessions stands. He usually doesn't get home until about 10:00pm. So he comes home pretty tired, but he loves serving.
Grandpa still has the opportunity of serving in the Temple every other Saturday. He loves to serve in the Temple. He has had many great experiences while he has served.
Yesterday we celebrated Pioneer day with Jacob and Tally. We started the day by having a waffle breakfast. Grandpa loves making waffles, and eating them! After breakfast we all had errands to run and grocery shopping to do so we did that. After shopping we met back at our house and played games and had lunch. For lunch we had ham and cheese sandwiches. Later for dessert we had banana cream pie. I was going to make cookies, but when I found the pie I decided that would be a lot simpler. While we played games I sat in my wheelchair with my legs elevated. It really worked well, and kept my legs from swelling as bad as they usually do when we play games. It was really a fun day for everyone. Except probably for Maggie. Because Buster is still mending we decided that she should stay home. But next time she should get to come because Buster is almost all healed. He is going to have some big scars but he is doing really good!
Today I woke up in quite a bit of pain. I took my pain medication and after Grandpa went to work I went back to sleep. When I woke up about 8:00 I felt a little better. Today being Tuesday was Wii bowling. Heather and Lisa came and we played three games. It was fun. We enjoyed the bowling, talking and laughing. We also enjoyed the lemon poppy seed muffin that Lisa brought for each of us.
It seems that I am having a lot more pain and more down days. But even tho I don't feel good and can't do much, I am happy. I am so blessed. One of my greatest blessings are you all. You all bring such great joy to my life!
