Hello out there!
Well, it's late, I'm tired, and should really be in bed! Yet, here I am typing on this thing!
It's been too long since I updated on here, so here goes...

Home is coming out of a yucky sick stage. 1st, Marus got pink eye. I'd never had any experience with pink eye, so off to the doctor we go. A script for eye drops and a day later, off to the Eye doctor we go... another bigger stronger script, and he started getting better by Sat morning. Then, I got a sinus infection...no big...just battle it at home. Meanwhile, Jc, Jeri, 4 kids and MIL drive in from Idaho. I come home from a dinner and I'm sick and tired. What a way to be miss hostess. We were all doing okay and then JC and Nathanael start feeling cruddy. A few Nyquil shots later, and we seem marginal. Throughout the week stuff continues, Marcus and I get stomach flu, Mary/Caleb/Abigail get pink eye, Mary gets stomach flu, Jeri gets a cold, Nathanael and I get pink eye. Nathanael and I get sinus infection/throat infection/pink eys scripts, and then things seem to hold steady there. WOW! What a keyboard full!
Saturday holds all kinds of things! The wrong part for JC's suburban, 3 more trips to the parthouse, Auctions with pick-ups and windows and also Winter Fairs with Talent shows. What a full day!
We get up Sunday morning and JC packs the car, Paul gets ready for Church, I clean the basement and sanitize everything I think someone will touch, then retreat back up into our home to keep away from infecting the church family!
JC, Jeri, Kids and Grandma Judy then depart Sunday Morning for Idaho. They get to Swan Valley and end of getting a hotel room because of car trouble.
Paul gets the message after Juvenile jail service, then tracks down someone to open up Napa for the parts he needs. He then leaves at 7pm for Swan Valley. Gets there safely after God protected him from several Elk herd crossings, and beds down for the night in the room with the kids. Shortly after Big John starts throwing up. Poor guy has the stomach flu! They got him cleaned up and finally off to lala land!
Early Monday morning he gets JC's car fixed and then showers and heads home about noon. He gets home about 6pm and then announces he has the stomach flu too! Poor guy. He almost escaped from sickness house unscathed, but alas, he didn't.
From Saturday Supper time to Friday Noon, I was housebound! It was good not to spread it any further, although there were some casualties (sp??) from Tuesday night's youth group. Sorry Mitch and Bret!! They seem fine now, praise the Lord! I did get rest, and seem to be on the mend. Antibiotics always seem to give me side effects, which I'm fighting as well as I can.

To end this long drawn out note, I want to annouce that I have the pretty good startings of a health food store and a pharmacy started in my kitchen! Let me know what you need! LOL!

Blessings!
