Lets see. We've had no school here for two days and it is sublime to wake up without an alarm beeping in your ear. And it is nice to have MYP around during the day again.
Were you wondering about the latest chapter about my shoulder? You weren't? Well bear with me. I saw a specialist and he gave me a cortisone shot and exercises and a ready smile and said come back in two months if you don't have full mobility again. It appears by him that surgery is not in my future. Hooray!
Did you ever see this video? It looked familiar.
It was green or blue or red day at school the other day. I can't quite remember which one. But I do know she came home with a little prize for being one of the most colorful.
There are several funerals going on the next couple days. One of them is for a gentleman in his early 80's that has meant a lot to me. Why? Because he happened to be on not one but both of the whitewater raft trips that I took as a 20'something. I think it shows the sense of adventure he and his wife had. One thing that has stayed with me was he had such a gentle heart and interest in others. He was a teacher/principal by trade, but he lived it too. I remember vividly one very early morning walk up to the top rim so we could watch the sun rise over the beautiful rock formations. On that walk, Gene was behind me chatting along about life and God's beauty, making unbelievable whistling noises, and asking me a lot of questions and taking a keen interest in my young life. I want to be an 'older' person like that. But I first must be like that now.
That's about as factual as I plan to get this time. Today we are planning to go into the heart of the big city and go to the Italian grocery store where you can get all the secret things to make spaghetti sauce authentic as if it came off the boat from Florence, Italy. I'm guessing we see a "Tony" or "Giovanni".
We miss Gene also, we met with them for a couple years when him and his wife wintered down here in AZ... a gentle soul.
