Village silent

Coffee

Breakfast very good

Bow season opened with hunters testing sundown. Very hard to see camoed hunters on a dark roadside. They lived, so did I.

Monday morning is here… the to-do list is long.

Much improved this morning in the health department.

Test driven car won’t be good for what I need it for. The search continues.

Baby run last night, still waiting for outcome.

The funeral… very nice Protestant service in a Catholic church.

I keep waiting for the grief and sadness. Over the weekend, I realized I went thru that process for the loss of my entire family when my dad died years ago. I was devastated and depressed for quite some time. I hadn’t had contact since then except for superficial public moments. I grieved and accepted their deaths at that time. I tried. I failed. I confessed my faults/sins. I accepted the loss of what could have been if we hadn’t been so broken. I leave the door open.

Sleep was decent

I’ll head for home today after the funeral

Fall weather has definitely arrived. These school children clad in shorts give me goose bumps on sight.

I should find a car wash this morning. Also, I need to fill the gas tank.

Lots of thought spiraling in my brain… most having to do with a list of things let undone these past few days. Others fall things that must be accomplished before winter arrives.

If you have an opportunity to see “Fishing with John” take it.

Time to get moving.

Good volleyball game last evening. M is a fantastic server.

Fun flag football game. L did great! quite the run for a touchdown.

Slept like a log.

Hope to finish up my homework for the Bible study class next Tuesday. It’s going to be an interesting class. The plan is to meet K for coffee.

If we could touch on how to parent the disrespectful child (one day this week). If you haven’t pointers, that would be great.

Is one source. It may, however, be too foofoo. Personally, the 10 commandments are a good starting place. As well as starting young on modeling respectful language and recognition of authority. One can not display what they have not been taught or experienced.

Pray for the repose of souls for those lost in the terrorist attack 09.11.2001. May they rest in peace.

The girl and her husband return home today. I hope they enjoyed their time here as much as we enjoyed them being here. We’ll see them again in a few weeks down there.

Fall is almost upon us (23rd). I look forward to winding down the business while enjoying the rich colors and cooler weather of Autumn 🍂

I’m looking forward to the Lutifisk Supper, to eating lefsa, and seeing family at the end of the month.

It is time to reflect on life. To clean out the closets and drawers of the things in the past that should have been tossed out ages ago.

Know you are prayed for.
