November 11- 17

Day 273-279
We had a holiday on Monday, it was nice to be able to stay home that day, but it throws the week out of sync. The terrible wind storm on Tuesday made it hard to stand upright, and some damage was to be found around the country side. Glenn stayed in that day! I've started to clear a path through my basement, and can't believe what a lot of stuff we have piled up and around down there. The kids moving in and out ruffled things up a bit, and I haven't been too interested in cleaning until this week. Yikes, I should have just ignored it some more, but that really doesn't help it at all. I would really like to be able to paint it at some point in the future, so I had to start some where.
Glenn continues to improve, and I'm happy to have him home. We bug each other about stuff, and just are content to be together. It has been fairly peaceful, and I hope it will continue that way. He bought some stuff online the other day, so is helping with Christmas shopping. I'm not that comfortable with that yet, but he is, so who am I to complain?
Family news is that Kent and Natashia had and early arrival, and welcomed their daughter to the world a few weeks early. She is a bit on the small side, but looks beautiful, and we are praying for a release from the NICU soon. (Perhaps that has already happened) We celebrated Ida Mae's 50th last Saturday night. It was very mild evening for November, Rebecca and James deep fried a couple of turkeys outside the shop, and it was quite pleasant to stand out beside the cooker. (It's nice to be able to bring Glenn to these family parties, we have a lot of them)
We are looking forward now to the botox injections, and are going to be having a team meeting with Glenn's therapists on the 26th. We haven't had one since he was released, so it will be interesting to hear what the plan is for the next while. He's been home 2 months already, and it is incredible to see how time flies when circumstances change.
I really don't have anything more to add today, but would like to thank everyone who comes to visit, and prays for us, it all still means a great deal to us. I like comments on the blog, so feel free to put in your 2 cents!
'Til next time,
Louise

I do! I do! I've probably put more than my 2 cents in but what the hay!
Snow today. But in comparison to the wind storms this past week I can handle it better except for icy roads. Was at school today and went very gingerly this morning. Who says teachers work from 9 to 3:30 Monday to Friday? I want to know their manager.
It sounds great at home. I hope the botox will be as successful for Glenn's legs as it has for his arms.
You sound good. I think of you two daily. I will have to get my butt your way. I miss you. Will see you soon.
Love you, M.
P.S. Happy 50th Ida Mae! The geese flying over may be construed as crow impostors so you didn't get away from the plight.

Oooh those turkeys sounded tasty. You're not the only one uncomfortable with christmas shopping. :)

Glad to hear things are always looking up!

I hope Dale has been passing on my "Hello"s whenever he's out there! If not...twack him for me, k? Time is not on my side lately, as soon as I'm caught up in school there's more. That's how it goes though. I wish I could get out there more but I'm glad to hear that things are going well. You guys are still in my thoughts though, and I'll see you soon!
