Pardon our pause, but we’re taking a short break for Faith, Family, and Fun! We’ll return soon and we want all of our online friends to join us as we prepare for an interesting summer (in Knoxville for a change).
We’re having a wonderful time with our children and grandchildren visiting from Charleston. This is just what Helen needed, and I am thrilled to have them here.
I think our kids enjoyed their time here as well. These lovely girls have a full schedule with soccer, school, and a myriad of other activities that keep them on the move from daylight to dark. I just wish I had their energy, but we managed to keep them in one place for a few days.
My mother joined us on Saturday. She loves spending time with her great-grandchildren.
The girls wanted to dye Easter Eggs, and BeBe couldn’t help it–she had to dive in!
Much time lost looking for the final piece, but it finally turned up and the puzzle is complete!
Helen had a second call from her surgeons this week. The biopsy results from lymph nodes removed during surgery confirmed that her cancer had not spread. She can relax for a little while–and she did. Our daughter-in-law helped her celebrate!
We’re blessed, we’re grateful, and we’re Easin’ Along! Lets chat soon. Joe
Joe, we’re so glad to know that Helen is doing so well. She looks great! What a beautiful family you have…so loving, and you obviously enjoy each other! I laughed at the search for the last missing puzzle piece, LOL. Happy Easter!
Hi, Laurel,
The girls are a lot of fun and a joy to be with. I think our little one hid the final puzzle piece just so she could the the “Star” and complete the puzzle. LOL! Joe
Wonderful news, and a Happy, blessed Easter to you all!
