Rain or Shine?

I managed to roll over and go back to sleep when I saw it was raining.  The couple of extra hours seemed to be much appreciated.  So sorry I'm so late in writing this morning.  But it's Saturday!

Original cabin with the addition from deck.

New sided addition from deck.

Hope you like the pictures.  They haven't completely finished siding the cabin, but it looks good from the lake...only the back or road side isn't done yet.  The sheet rocking took all week to get finished (mudding and sanding) as it was so humid he couldn't get it to dry....but finally has the ceiling sprayed and is done.  Now the painter comes on Monday morning....thought that would happen a lot earlier, but couldn't paint till the other was done.  So goes my life....everything takes longer than I think it will....including trips to Mayo....but I'm beginning to expect it all to take longer.

I have Judy, Janet, Rita and Kathleen all signed up to drive with me to Mayo next month.  So in case I can't get into Hope House right away, I'm ready.  Kathleen plans on staying two weeks...she will come the Sunday before the surgery and stay while I'm in the hospital and hopefully a few days after I get home.  I am so lucky to have her here with me....she and Gary spent almost three weeks here in July and will be back again the 17th of August for a wedding, and now she'll be back in September.  All four of these caregivers have taken the majority of the burden off of my kids, and I hope they know how much we all appreciate them.

Just plan on vegging most of the day....I do have a few jobs to take care of....but not much!  Then tomorrow Katie is going to celebrate her (March 2) birthday at the cabin with five of her girlfriends.  Sounds like fun to me!

Nothing else to write.  Thank you all for your love and prayers expressed in emails and on facebook, love you all, m
