I am glad you enjoyed the photos!...Thanks, Debbie. I am glad you enjoyed the photos!<br /><br />I just got up from an hour nap. Just couldn't stay awake. I can definitely see where you would be tired. All of the care you are doing for your mom ... I know it's hard enough when one is simply coordinating the in-home care. But managing it hands-on by yourself is very, very tiring. Glad that in-home therapy is to happen this week.<br /><br />The verse from James -- so important, and so challenging. Far easier to memorize God's Word than to consistently practice it ...Mrs.Thttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00392321745556290343noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15265988.post-19543495434204229772017-08-20T21:17:04.848-04:002017-08-20T21:17:04.848-04:00Thanks, Suzanne.

When I looked out at the wagon it just really was like looking back in time. Interstate 80 is just beyond (if you look closely at the photo you might catch a glimpse of a car or two) but really it looks so much as it probably did back then. <br /><br />Yes, we will work in fun stuff, too. Had a picnic by a lake last evening and saw a glorious sunset. Just booked a late-October weekend at our favorite getaway place. That's something to look forward to!Mrs.Thttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00392321745556290343noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15265988.post-49163209378836965582017-08-20T21:13:13.490-04:002017-08-20T21:13:13.490-04:00Thanks, David.

I would love to some day visit the historical sites there.<br /><br />I hope that you will be rested soon and have the energy to do what is required of you.

I am always completely amazed at America's diverse beauty. <br /><br />Yes, one of my cousins who has lost both parents (and who is their only surviving child, like me) told me that it is much more difficult getting things sorted out after the second parent dies.

The landscape is so different from coast to coast.<br />I love my dogs so I could go and on with a list of books with dogs that are on my favorites list.<br />It is definitely dogs days of summer here. So hot and muggy it takes everything out of you to go outside. My flowers are a mess, but I just can't do anything about it yet.<br />I feel your pain on the estate stuff.
