We have been super busy with concerts and moving business. Warm spring days have become normal, and the sunshine beckons.
Ed has started the "Maintenance" phase of his treatment for leukemia. It began officially on Monday, with a spinal tap, but we've felt it began two weeks ago when we left the clinic after the last Erwinia shots.
Either way it is WAY less intense. This should last three years.
Ed's hair is growing back nicely. He likes driver's education. He seems to be in good spirits and really anticipating moving to the new place! Things are good.
The Northern Lights Chorale had one of their concerts on Sunday. Here is a selection from it:
I loved singing this. I thought the entire concert had wonderful music, all sort of themed on heaven. It was very uplifting.
We are repeating the concert on April 25. If you are in the area please come!
Last week I had one of those bad days. We had 3 packages of bees (about 30,000 bees) in the bathroom until they were able to be put into hives. I walked into that room on Wednesday morning to escaped bees EVERYWHERE! They were dying, as they had no access to the sugar water.
It was so sad to vacuum them up---but I had no choice. Their sisters are now safely hived, and that makes EIGHT hives to care for this summer.
We still have a good supply of honey from last fall too. It is still expensive and delicious. If you want to try some let me know.
Next, Misty showed signs of distress. She is on the antibiotic for Lyme Disease, but it seemed some sort of malady was affecting her "season." She was not healthy! Today she is better, but much prayer for her was offered!
The third thing that made that day so hard --a "Jonah Day," Anne of Green Gables would say---was the sweater I had worked on for my husband turned out to be the wrong size after all.
The washable wool had made the knit so heavy that it stretched and morphed into a massive garment fit for a giant.
Cherie put it on, and it flows beautifully like a Viking dress, but this was not its purpose. Very frustrating!
I began work on another one right away. Let's hope for better this time.....! My measurements and careful attention to pattern were all for naught.
These things are minor, though. I can laugh at them today. For the most part we are well and thankful for all of God's gifts. God is good all the time!
Now it will be something of a hectic rush until we are in possession of the new house. Either way I am going through things, and cleaning here. It will be a wonderful feeling to have accomplished this move!
Ready for the next big thing...
