Tough Times

Most know that Dad hasn't been doing very well for quite some time now. He has avoided making a will and getting his affairs in order like the plague. This week he decided it's time...I'm hoping that his sudden sense of urgency on this isn't a sign that he's ready to give up. Hopefully, he just finally decided that it would be smarter to have that stuff ready in case something goes awry.

He's been down in the dumps lately because the heat has prevented him from doing much outside. He hates being cooped up! I'm sure that his next project is going to be to see how many people he can get to go to the family reunion in September. Several years have passed since he truly believed that it would be his last reunion. He just keeps hanging in there! The joy that he gets from attending that event and hunting season is his driving force.

I'm lucky to still have both parents and thankful for that. It's been gratifying to see our family pull together to protect and help each other. I plan to post more of the fun stories including Mom and Becky. Check back because I'm trying not to inundate my friends with all my blog posts.
