Keanna goes for the goal

Good evening

There she was, running her heart out, kicking the ball ahead of her with her eye on the goal and suddenly she was down hard, her whole body slammed into the ground.  She slowly got up, shook it off and walked to the sidelines where the coach put his arms around her.  We thought maybe that was it for the day but soon she was back out on the field, pigtail flying as she raced after the ball, kicking it down the field or once working it all the way down the field.  Today her team scored a goal and they went on to defend and win the game.  They were very excited.

After the game Keanna came with us, Marilyn, Steve and me to Nations for breakfast.  They we each went our own way.  While we were waiting for breakfast Sharon called to pass along the sad news that Uncle Jim had died in his sleep.  He was very old and his health had failed to the point where he hardly knew anyone, still to think of him gone is hard to imagine.  Aunt Ann has been an amazing caregiver to Jim and will have to rearrange her life now that Jim has fallen asleep in Jesus.  Its hard when you've been a caregiver to suddenly lose your purpose for living.

Sharon and Sunny made a safe trip on Friday from my house to Lancaster.  When they arrived at their friends home they found that they had full hookups for a motorhome too, lucky break.  Today they were in Loma Linda to visit family and then they will move on down the line.

So now its bedtime, Ken says we walk at 8 in the morning, sounds good to me.

Love to all,

Tim
