It is a beautiful and sunny day
today. The temperatures are finally dropping to a more normal range, and the
days are pleasant once again. Now all we need is some rain. We should enjoy
these days, as I assume Old Man Winter will visit us all too soon. Even though
we all dislike snow, we need the moisture this year for the fields, rivers,
ponds, and streams.
I had my third treatment of Avastin
yesterday. That went well – now they push the infusion through in a thirty
minute time period. I have just a slight headache at times, but otherwise no
side effects yet. My blood levels have been good, and things are going pretty
well. I feel pretty good - sometimes it seems like all of this is just a bad
dream. I have another MRI scheduled for early October – that is when we see how
things are really going up there in that old cranium area. Good for now though!
The doctors tell me to enjoy the now and not to worry about what is to come.
That is my focus. I have a few things to do – the main project now is to build
three more rocking horses out of oak for future grandchildren. Mark’s family
has a horse, but Matt, Tom, and John need one yet. Don’t tell Jameson, but she
will get a doll cradle for Christmas as well. So, I have some work to do in the
shop. Once those are all done, I could use a few more bird feeders too.
We found a dead male cardinal in the
front yard a few weeks back. I have not seen or heard the cardinals now for a
few weeks – they may have moved on to a moister climate area – who knows.
Oddly, I heard a cardinal singing in the background of a movie. The movie was “Hope
Springs”, which was not the best show I have seen. I don’t even know that I
would recommend it to anyone. No six guns, no horses, no chase after bad guys –
not much of a show at all. In one scene of the movie I could hear cardinals
singing as the couple walked along. Now you tell me, does God show up in some
different places when you least expect Him to?
Tom and Michelle’s wedding went very
well. Lots of family and friends, and a great time was had by all. My oldest
grandson, Kolbe, did quite a lot of dancing at the wedding dance – he stole the
show for the tune “Bust A Move”. He had the whole dance floor of people in a
circle around him, and he danced and hammed it up for the entire song. Once we
get the video back, I will post it in the Blog so you can see it. He had to get
those moves from his mother’s genetics, as the Jarding boys do not bust too
many moves.
Have a great week and enjoy this
wonderful weather. Football games are now started, soccer games are going
strong, and soon we shall be chasing the wily Ringneck Pheasant as well. Fall
is a good time of year. Have a great day, and look for God out there. He is
looking for you!
