We added another state to our current trip out West. We never had the funds to bring our children out here when they were young, but now they have joined us for this last leg of our journey! What began as a visit to Utah and Wyoming has extended to include an airlift into Colorado. My beloved's heart was in trouble Thursday morning. On Monday (tomorrow) Dr.Leonard Lapkin will be the only one ever closer to Rusty's heart than me. Almost 24 years ago the first photo here was our Christmas card announcing the birth of our 4th child, Lucy. The best part of the outcome will be that Rusty's heart will be like new, ready for Lucy again, when he walks her down the aisle to her beloved Sam soon.
"Trust God from the bottom of your heart; don’t try to figure out everything on your own. Listen for God’s voice in everything you do, everywhere you go; he’s the one who will keep you on track. Don’t assume that you know it all. Run to God! Run from evil! Your body will glow with health, your very bones will vibrate with life!" (Proverbs 3:5-8 MSG)
... and I am not talking about jumping up and down with excitement about the varmits. Biting bugs will find me wherever I am, especially outdoors in the evening. I had read somewhere about rubbing a dryer sheet on your skin but had not tried it until recently. Not only was the Bounce sheet effective in my infested backyard, the real test came while at the beach. We were sitting at a beautiful bar by the gulf at the historic Don CeSar for a couple of hours late one night. The next day the other lady in our party had been eaten up. I had rubbed on my Bounce sheet and did not get one bite. Obviously, the Bounce sheets are very compact for traveling, too. Other than smelling briefly like clean laundry, the laundry sheet is a much-preferred alternative to spray-on chemicals. Now that is something about which I can jump up and down.
