We have a fun beginning to our week, with Amelia's birthday. The rest of the week is full of school and housework and eye appointments. Such is life. The cold is setting in, and I am trying to accept that with peace.
Since Jerome is still on his soft food, no chew diet, and I'm trying not to make entirely different meals, we are also eating mostly soft foods (though we eat our fruit whole, and have parts of meals which are different than his). It looks like, if all goes well, he will be able to eat more normally by Thanksgiving. We are praying for no more set backs, and he is being especially cautious because of having had to go back into the hospital for another surgery once. This is one prayer concern. Another has to do with a family member in trouble. God knows the trouble, but in your mercy would you pray for this person in our family, as well.
The harvest season is basically over here. We are putting up what we can, and enjoying the end of the harvest. We've already had a week or more of temperatures below freezing in the mornings, and I'm trying to bear it. Please pray for me.
In the meantime, Rich has been working on our oven and stove, so it is all working correctly again. The folks at church have taken over the meal for tonight, which is wonderful. I certainly appreciate their generosity.
