back in the groove............anniversary today

My dear friend Mary Geitner originally from Asheville has been living with her husband and 3 year old precious daughter near Boulder-Denver area. we had a whole week of just us and it was glorious. We laughed, philosophized and talked about our lives of which we have been far apart by miles for many years now. We ate out of the garden and ate well. spent two nights at the rainy lake with a fire in the wood stove. How sweet in mid July. Yesterday Doug arrived at 5 am. Long night for him. he is resting up for a few days and we plan to spend time at the lake. Good thing it is close.

This last month has flown by with many challenges and heart strings being pulled and some cut. Health keeps rolling with the punches. I found out my nephew and his wife are pregnant. It;s a BOY. my brother Howard is very happy to know his family lineage is carried on through Caleb and Holly.

Garden keeps me busy. Slowly making things for fall-winter prep. Looking at many projects coming up late summer-fall. The walk is August 9th www.amsterlupus.org for more information. My sister and her two lovely girls are coming in August and September kicks off the UM Lupus Education Support Program at the U Hospital. I feel blessed to have this opportunity to co-facilitate and create a template for the new model of support groups. Dream come true.

Tennessee project with Douglas always fun clients. Good late summer project Felling gratitude.
I love my husband and it is our wedding anniversary. Very long time !!!! So happy !!!
