The oil painting is one of mine done in Middletown springs, VT. I thought it would bring some cheer today. Patrick Henry HS Marching Band photo.Happy Birthday to Joseph D. Don't give up on me all you faithful blogger readers. I have just had a busy week with Bearfoot repairs and other stuff. Had the windshield repaired only to finally park back in Goochland 3 days later and have the windshield crack again in the same spot. Indicates there is a problem and this is stress related. See even motorhomes are undergoing intense stress and feeling fractured. HA! Not funny actually. It is going in to the shop again tomorrow for several days. Bash and I are moving out, going to stay with a friend in Waynesboro, then sunday stay with family here in Goochland. I will pick up Bearfoot on Monday but don't know what the verdict or the treatment will be. The way I look at it is that it is my home. I have had a home for many years, a permanent wooden structure that is and there are always problems that have to be faced, some of them expensive. This repair will still be less than putting out a chunk of change as a down payment on a newer one, at least at this time. The song from Mama Mia comes to mind, "Money, money, money". I will do whatever I need to do and follow wherever God directs me. It is just kind of a wait and see attitude that comes with this type of trust and service to a Higher Power. On a lighter note, I went to see my granddaughter's dance/choral performance the other night at her high school. They wowed us as they always do with their expertise and beautiful creativity. I will miss their Christmas concert but there will be a video available on CD. One thing about the schools in this area, they push and support the arts with their hearts and their pocketbooks. Everything is first class. Much of the funding comes from very willing parents. I am going over to a friends house today to sit with Paw who is housebound. My friend needs a bit of toodle on her own time from being a constant caregiver. He is lots fun, likes to play games and take walks. It is a beautiful crisp fall day here in VA. Gratitude comes to mind as well as prayers for those who are less fortunate.
