pleasant afternoons

Today was nice. I got to hang out with my Aunt Lisa, whom I don't see very often. We went to Sears to pick up a present for my Uncle and then to Barns & Noble/Starbucks for some chat time. It was very pleasant. We have a lot in common because of our health problems. She gave me a lot of good advice about facing each day no matter what comes. God gives us the grace; we have to accept it.

Also, today my family will pull into town. Christa, Kyle, Mom and Dad should be here around 5pm central time. Grandma and I have been calling them every so often to find out where they are. I never realized how much my mother and sister sound alike on the phone. Both times I thought it was my sister and it turned out to be my mother.

It will be good to see Christa who has been at Bob Jones these past months working on finishing her Masters degree in English. Only one more semester Christa, one more.
