Well, I have Ignored this blog long enough.I have no excuses.Actually I think I forgot about it, tsk,tsk.Another incidious sign of aging, not even impending...it's here. I had to dust off the computer to get at the keyboard and then had to remember how it worked.It was almost too much. (I love using age as a reason for not getting things done or for failures in general it is so handy and I so look the part, poorly conceled grey hair and wrinkles, that I can get away with it, hee-hee).
Much has happened this month,
1) I had my cataract surgery. At first it was a success and then things got blurry in that eye, some discomfort, and basic disappointment. The Dr. says that I am having some sort of allergic reaction that is interfereing with the results( likley story). So anyway all my meds are being readjusted till they find the culpret.

2) We went to our condo in Escondido for a little R&R. It was very peaceful and we did get some rest and I got 3 paintings done. We then traded our Sedona condo for one at the Lawrence Welk
Resort. Deffinitly an upgrade.

3) We had a very nice Thanksgiving at Jon's house in Tucson and then 2 days later we went back to participate in the birth of Jonathan Glen. He popped into this world at 1204 am 11/25/06. He was 9lb 14 oz ( big boy). He has a great set of lungs and a blue head. He came out face first..fast...and his face and head got bruised but good during the process. I got to come in right after his delivery. Carrie had a "water" birth in the bathtub. I had never seen one of those. I watched the placenta delivery and Jonathan cut his son's cord. The midwife said that Jon was an awsome coach. Jonathan (baby) at this time looks a lot like a Woolston. I was so glad we could be there. Tabitha doesn't quite know what to think of him yet. I now have a grand baby born 2 days before my birthday and one born 2 days afterward.

4) A sad note for this month . The day before Thanksgiving Brian's best friend, Austin( 24 yrs.), committed suicide. It was a shocker. We have known and cared about Austin since he was about 10. We still occassionally see him and do things with he and Brian and their girlfriends. He is a skater, like Brian. He and his parents went to our church so we are good friends with his family and even went on vacation with them a few years ago to a Christian camp in Oregon. I cried all
that day and it put a deffinite pale on the holiday. Austin, like Brian was an alcoholic and pretty advanced. He had lost his job at the humane society( probably because of drink) and had had a fight with his girlfriend. He hung himself and set up his video camera and filmed the whole thing.The police found it still running when they found him. That about made me sick. Well anyway All the skaters , over a hundred, had a wake at the skate park for him and this Sat. is the funeral You might pray for all those kids. There is going to be a real salvation message and almost all the skate culture kids that are coming are so handicaped by alcohol , drugs , and pot, and the hip hop sub culture and they have no one ministering to them. So many come from such sad backgrounds and are searching for happiness. Pray they will find the answer they are looking for at the funeral because it will be presented.

Today I am trying to get all the stuff done for work that I promised to do while off for my surgery before I have to go back next week. I have commitee posters and signs to make so I better get back to work ahora!!!...adios.
