Storms Galore

Woke this morning to over cast skies....but at nine (now) the rain hasn't hit us...you can see it blowing and coming across the lake but so far the deck is dry. The sad thing is that I have a full crew of workers here to rebuild our lower patio that we had to take down in the process of getting a permit for the construction of the cabin. So they put on their rain gear, and are working as fast as they can. OMG it's really blowing now...we're going to get hit hard. Yesterday I got out of the cabin by 8:03 a.m. and got to HHH for my infusion at 9:03 a.m.. Great drive time. It took a extra long time for my infusion to start...as they are in the process of remodeling, and have moved everything into temporary quarters, and it's a mess. So I didn't get out of there till almost noon, and had several little errands I had to make....like picking something up at church, the grocery store and then clothes from the house...along with my mail. Then I headed to Menards to get some treads for the cabin stairs down to the boathouse that just got power-washed. From Menards I got gas at Costco ($3.52 a gallon compared to $3.79 at Holiday) I didn't need a lot, but I figured I'd fill up before it went any higher. As I was driving back, I got a call from Jimbo, and he told me that he and Ann and niece Anna would be up after dinner, and that in the morning Rick Zwack, Doug, and Bill would be up to work. What a great surprise. I didn't get back to the cabin till 2:40 p.m. Judy was waiting to try and change her luck and beat in some form of cards, but it was to no avail...she came close a couple of times only loosing by 1 point, but my luck was still in full force and she left last night a looser. I'm worried she won't come back and play with me anymore...but she claims she still has hope her luck will change and I'll be the looser again!! Around 7 p.m. Jimbo, Ann and Anna come in, and Judy decided she had enough of loosing and packed up and left for home. (She was planning on leaving anyway, as she has a funeral to attend this morning) So we spent the rest of the evening watching the Twins get beat and mostly vegging. Well the worst of the storm has past and I can see light on the horizon...hopefully the crew will get a chance to finish their job today. It's supposed to be quiet and sunny tomorrow, and I have company (cousins on the Schoenecker side) coming for lunch. One is driving down from Brainerd, and the other from North Branch....about a two hour drive for each. I haven't seen them in ages, and I'm so looking forward to that. My body was in great shape yesterday, and I'm feeling pretty good this morning as well. The prayers, Quick Pulse, Qigong, and chemo drugs are doing their jobs. I feel the blessings and am getting stronger and in less pain each day. Please keep the prayers up for me, and also pray for Judy's sister-in-law Annie and her husband Roger. Roger is going to be moved to a Memory Care unit next Monday, and that means Annie has to move to a smaller unit in the complex they are living in, in Belle Plaine. This is very difficult and stressful on Annie, as well as Roger....but in the end a good thing. Love and Prayers, m
