Greetings, Wow how the summer flew by!  The children now need to get up earlier, homework will be a constant and I will enjoy the business that wears them out, as they learn of thing they never could imagine.
Our summer flew by, with garden days and house work nicely matched with swim time at Koons Pool.  even more exciting are the grandchildren who are so much fun to watch and play with Josiah and Jeremiah.  I have working at Hospice of Central PA, calling families who are new to Hospice care.  Task them how things are going, i see if all meds, equipment and supplies arrive and do they understand how to use correctly.  i also was trained and now am on call for 11th hour vigil. So a bit of a busy summer!
I would love to here how your summer went, and some of your thoughts about the world around us.
please write a bit about your summer, I would love to hear.

Thank you so very much for your concern and prayer.  I was doing somewhat better and attended Arlene Nolls funeral yesterday. I am so glad I went and enjoyed the service as family recalled so very dear and fantastic memories of Mrs. Noll.
 Bruce took me golfing today (par 3 golf course).  I did ok, but by this evening I am suffer worse then ever.
As I rested tonight and listened to the storm and watched the lightening I am reminded that everything is in God's hands and I suppose this is just one of those storms of life and hopefully it passes quickly. ( :

It has been so very long since I wrote here, So I feel very few of you may see this.  I am praying that those who can and are willing to pray for myself and our family will be led to read this blog entry.
I am suffering from constant neuropathy and nerve pain in arms, hands and feet. I am also experiencing painful swelling and soreness in the feet, making it hard to stand or walk.  My mouth is very sore with cracks in the tongue, apparently from severe dry mouth. It is quite painful and the severity of it wains and then rebounds. As well the neck and the back are painful and the severity of that wanes and rebounds.
I am doing  water therapy 3-5 days a week, which really helps, i also do lap swimming too. But my weight just climbs. I have been fairly successful with eliminating sugar esp. in drinks.  I simply can not lose the weight.  I am taking a medicine  that causes weight gain, however it is a nerve calmer(neurontin).  So it is very hard not take it as the numbness and tinging, and radiating pain are very serious concerns, . left uncared for they grow to an out of control pain and loss of feeling.
We have no health  insurance presently.  We were given a quote by an agent, who told us that because of our pre-existing conditions it would cost between $1000-2000. a month to insure Bruce and I.
I am not to  lift more then 10lbs.. Our grandson weighs 36lbs.  Our daughter constantly needs me to watch her very cute boy. Problem is that he can out run me and he needs held quite a bit, he just turned 2yrs old .  There are other family issue I can not speak about but really need prayer.Prayer for order and peace in our house hold and for Hannah to find a home of her own certainly would help.  We have asked to complete this task by June.  Thank you for your willingness in  remember us as you go to the Lord Jesus Christ, Emmanuel, Yeshua our Savior! It is greatly appreciated! ( also please let me know if you able to pray, it will help encourage Bruse and I .    Love in Christ Mary
