Life Goes On---Yea!

Monday morning.  Walt has had his 3 poached eggs (good protein) which he has had almost every morning for weeks now.  He's a funny guy.  He gets stuck on something and he wants it over and over again.  I would change it up with a veggie omelet or something, but he's happy with his poached.
He's feeling pretty good.  We had a busy weekend and he not only survived, but enjoyed himself.  The kids stopped by Sat. afternoon.  Walt was asleep in his chair, but that didn't last long.  When Gavin (2 yr old) hits the front door he heads for Walt's room (man cave) because he has to see his Grumpy first thing.  George needed to measure my chicken coop so he could make some boxes for my girls to lay eggs.  He also found us a juicer so Walt can drink lots of carrot juice.  A real good cancer fighter.
Sunday we went to our meeting and Walt did the sound.  After that we had 21 friends from the Kingdom Hall over for hospitality.  We have visiting speakers every Sunday and they usually come from far away so we have them for a meal before they have to travel back to their homes.  Everyone brought food and so many were mindful of Walt's diet so we had lots of salad and fruit.  After everyone left except special friends, Andy and Robin, we were able to share our holistic treatments with each other (it is foremost on our minds).  Andy has to deal with many severe health issues too. What a blessing to have good friends to share with.  I feel that way about all of you who take the time to read my ramblings.  You are all a blessing.
We have heard from many family members and friends that we haven't talked to in years.  I was thinking that it is sad that we mostly talk to far away people only when there is tragedy upon us.  But you know, its not sad.  We have such busy lives that we can't ever expect to be close to everyone or we would be so full of anxiety because we missed someone (especially if we have big families and lots of friends).  We should be very happy to realize that those friends and family are there for us when we need them most.
Walt talked to his baby sister, Marlene.  Cracks me up cause she's my age, but she will always be his baby sister.  I got a message from my sisters Cindy and Deb.  Don't talk with these folks often, but we know they have our back.  So, to all of you, thank you again, especially for your prayers.  We could (and hopefully WILL) be in this for the long hall so we still have a need for those prayers.  Love you all.
