...was Thursday for Auntie 'Rie.
...did five loops of da Lane Thursday morning. Got da Flightdeck, front walk, porch, and decks swept before the lunchtime rains came to wash the construction dust away. *hooray* Kevin and I so enjoy our stormporch.
...had a wonderful massage Thursday afternoon. Thank you, Mary and Carol! And thanks to all of you who have gifted us massage the past couple months.
...caught up on returning da Hospital Room here back into da living room Thursday evening.
...paid for all of that, physically, Thursday night and Friday... *sighs*
...Auntie 'Rie was sick Friday; did eldercare.
So I've had time to think around...
One recurring thought was this blog: what it's provided; what it demands; what it's demonstrated; who it reaches; what it costs... Following the NPR blog has been nothing but serendipitously appropriate with regard to our current levels of learnings, needs and involvement; we're suffering from information overdose.
One recent thought had to do with topics for the sCenario. Sure enough, within the past couple days, Leroy Sievers provided me a wealth of topic resources, should we decide to maintain this web presence. This is currently a ... familial ... space, i.e., the blog isn't publicly available (well, we all know the fallacy of security ... *shrugs*). Should it be? Thanks, again, Leroy!
I so appreciate this as a different way to hear from people, and I'm still not sure how all of this works best. Luddite that I've become, I don't read blogs, so I don't know how to post and/or comment to them. *blinks* Lots of resources seem to indicate that maintaining a diary and/or dialogue is beneficial in our kinds of circumstances. Posting here is a good way for us to flex our writing muscles again...
Like I said, lots of things to consider ... and then reconsider...
Today, Mother Nature continues to gently water our new plantings and to gently nurture our spirits.
We count you, daily, among our many blessings.

I've never blogged before, either, but I find this blog invaluable. (Oh no! I'm blog addicted!) I miss it if there is not a new post or comment at least daily. It's almost a physical link despite the many miles between myself and daWoods. It's something like a group email where we all can read and share our thoughts and information. I hope you can continue to use it as a diary as well and never come to think of it as a chore or an obligation.
We also check the blog daily. I appreciate your thoughts as you, and the rest of us, go through this journey.
The blog is also a very effective way to communicate a lot of information.
love you.
I think you said it yourself DP, you only have to say it once here instead of many times to individual inquiries. I read your blog every day, and then do not feel the need to use alternative interrogation techniques to get the information I want. And besides, I like the pictures.
Please tell Auntie Rie I thought she looked lovely in her purple hat and red shirt!!!!
I, too, check your blog daily Diana and you (and Kev) do such a terrific job of explaining everything we can all feel like we are there with you - as we are in spirit if not in body. Love, Nettie
I forgot to say that I love this picture of Auntie 'Rie!
