As Mom and I were returning from seeing the bale fire, Mom's neighbor came walking toward us. Shuffling along in her bedroom slippers, still clad in a robe and nightgown (it was after all only 7 a.m.) she called out, "Pardon my appearance!"She asked how Dad was doing and then handed us a polar fleece blanket. A green plaid - very masculine looking bound with a perfect blanket stitch. Appliqued to the blanket was a tag:
"To a very special person.
This blanket was lovingly made and prayed over for you.
'Cast all your cares upon Him for He cares for you.'
Oakland Methodist Church
Methodist Women's Union."

What a thoughtful gift! So very much appreciated.
This prompted me to try to think of something to take up to J and D. So I assembled a little gift bag filled with fruit, nuts, bottled water and a few other assorted things. Hopefully it will keep D. from having to feed herself from the vending machine as she keeps her vigil at J's side.
Dad was marginally better yesterday, but still not well. We shall see what today brings.

Found your blog at random, looking for "Christian blogs", although I think yours is a different type of Christianity than mine - although a little like some of my family, I think.
Nice to see how others live. Hope your dad is soon better
Still praying for your dad. My neighbor just successfully got over c-diff. 50 degrees and raining today..almost thought we might get snow this week...peas are living it up in the garden...the squash looks like it needs a blanket from your Methodists...Mary and I got Georgia peaches from the peach truck's 1 1/2 hour stop here, so sweet. Thinking of going to Bayfield to a pick-your-own blueberries and raspberries field...company from California coming for a week and camping out in our front yard...Ike's baseball team won the Babe Ruth championship...he is 5'10" now. Thinks since he is taller than mom he is smarter than mom....still playing that clavinova? That's it for Northwoods tidbits. Linda
