Hello, gorgeous!,

I’m sitting out on the back patio, before heading in to cook dinner. Micha and I are listening to the birds and the children playing, nearby.

The summer is half over, which breaks my heart!  I’ve enjoyed a road trip across our beautiful country and visited my grandson…but that was two months ago…ancient history!

I’ve got a favor to ask. Mr. Wonderful woke me Friday night. I thought he was having a bad dream, but it turned out he was having a seizure…his first one and hopefully, his last. We see a doctor today and I’m hopeful for his full recovery. I’m asking for your prayers, that he’s back on track quickly. I know many of you have a direct line with our Heavenly Father!

It’s all been a rude awakening. Bob’s had me convinced that he’s invincible. I think he had himself convinced as well.
He doesn’t remember anything but waking up at the hospital. I wish I could say the same.
On the bright side, he was asleep when this happened. A neighbor told me of his friend who had a seizure in the bathroom. He hit his head and died. So sad!

Maybe this was God’s way of reminding us all that we need to get our shit together. As women, it’s easy to let our husband handle all of our finances, but we need to be involved.  I’m going to make sure I get Mr.Wonderful’s attention, once he’s feeling better.

I’m still having fun at the “Trove”, though I’ve decided to consolidate to just the one new space in the D isle. There’s plenty of space for me to have fun in! Of course, I remember decorating The Treasured Home for the holidays. It always stressed me out, but I loved it, once done. I’ll miss having the space to do more, but nothing stays the same, but change.

 So far, “retirement” is far from dull!

Sending love your way,

Barbara
