Blue Jay with a peanut - Yesterday was fairly awful. Up at 4:00 a.m., Phil's surgery to repair an abdominal hernia and put in a port for the peritoneal dialysis (in about 3 months), discharge from the hospital at 11:30, rush to the dialysis center for 4.5 hrs. of hemodialysis, then to the pharmacy for his meds, and, finally, a restless night full of interruptions. However, he feels better this morning. We face the future with optimism. Thanks so much for all your thoughts and prayers. They mean a lot!
I appreciate your comments on my images, both old and new. Thanks!

When things get rough like it has been for your husband & you, I'm happy to hear you remain optimistic. I will offer more prayers for the two of you 🙏 Jesus is always with us. A short prayer my husband & I say daily together. Oh Jesus, I surrender myself to you, take care of everything 💓
