We had a good time together visiting, eating cookies fresh from the oven, and telling stories of when they each first met Emily! We had lots of laughs and hugs.</div><div style="text-align: center;">In the picture is also Lynell White, my dear little "sister" for many years. Lynell came on November 30 and stayed for four days. She was so brave to travel by herself all the way from Virginia Beach, and she was such a blessing to me. We played games and talked, and put puzzles together, just had really good quality sister time! That weekend was our church's Christmas Drive Thru and we were happy Lynell was with us for it. The CDT was the biggest turnout ever, and we were in line for an hour and a half before we got to drive through the play. </div><div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgcoaoivJPtGqNKkCBkg7mRhdcza2QELzgIiUO_xz-tMAxiiXyIzyELfiN0quZ6744g9_2WsWmWzy4GI6YnS_VXDANYiwsSUfbDidq4pQNgoTrlwqr3TpW8VJK6yg5i3NKdCsijPpCAnhXWWchWYyQjwGmxCEhLo0-GMj1uA71PLC9-QxakaFP_NOOsyqOG/s1131/FB_IMG_1701748355681.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1131" data-original-width="810" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgcoaoivJPtGqNKkCBkg7mRhdcza2QELzgIiUO_xz-tMAxiiXyIzyELfiN0quZ6744g9_2WsWmWzy4GI6YnS_VXDANYiwsSUfbDidq4pQNgoTrlwqr3TpW8VJK6yg5i3NKdCsijPpCAnhXWWchWYyQjwGmxCEhLo0-GMj1uA71PLC9-QxakaFP_NOOsyqOG/w286-h400/FB_IMG_1701748355681.jpg" width="286" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">We use our SkipBo cards for playing Play Nine.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEghFmVjJl8bLtqlyQztuQLHy4lI16Qfv5AJ57eINkzoH8NTic3s4r8GpfWujgBHrd63Kt4khxAyhHTTEcphVZOIAVAJdlsWStwSFsY1diIBAwFjVJt_Esn3Ofa0YW_bd9n5m8hF0x7IB2Kewcpg95kN5vI_9okm7ebNcKDTQAK4jBreZ-Wp4OyMSRjxNpjY/s1920/Lynell%20and%20Janet.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1080" data-original-width="1920" height="225" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEghFmVjJl8bLtqlyQztuQLHy4lI16Qfv5AJ57eINkzoH8NTic3s4r8GpfWujgBHrd63Kt4khxAyhHTTEcphVZOIAVAJdlsWStwSFsY1diIBAwFjVJt_Esn3Ofa0YW_bd9n5m8hF0x7IB2Kewcpg95kN5vI_9okm7ebNcKDTQAK4jBreZ-Wp4OyMSRjxNpjY/w400-h225/Lynell%20and%20Janet.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;">We put this very difficult Ark Encounter puzzle together.</div><div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiMOJPEqv7qaNJWBnchcqgtB8OHIqI6Q84QvEfXIPtBb42UNQ8Wwc1UsQf_OB0AGXr0QRksKLi2Or8tOMpkMFYE2ZnKI7CzzvnC0o3n_oJOrBx9PSWutiOgeHN4q35yMRPA6KqnpSazjgphbbgZhEobI0ekaRCdD-ZsuhMw1nOosF7rMEF1DJ8bcBjj3WAM/s1920/Lynell%20and%20Janet%20with%20puzzle.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1080" data-original-width="1920" height="225" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiMOJPEqv7qaNJWBnchcqgtB8OHIqI6Q84QvEfXIPtBb42UNQ8Wwc1UsQf_OB0AGXr0QRksKLi2Or8tOMpkMFYE2ZnKI7CzzvnC0o3n_oJOrBx9PSWutiOgeHN4q35yMRPA6KqnpSazjgphbbgZhEobI0ekaRCdD-ZsuhMw1nOosF7rMEF1DJ8bcBjj3WAM/w400-h225/Lynell%20and%20Janet%20with%20puzzle.jpg" width="400" /></a></div></div><div style="text-align: center;">I'm standing with my weight only on my right leg in this picture, </div><div style="text-align: center;">because there was not enough healing in my left leg for weight bearing yet.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhx-dYP8OwJNZ1HmSsep7yTYpYpojn-lf6d2Usls0x3AEGnH777FvKVYrhM0O7B3edPbiGWtUim19xR5YA-R9mLFtnvIMdwx872Mt8UrwdQPtKKIFCvm9S5QJZEN9V2JK-Oqf8cSbFoOsJSzNI7iMJ15T5mabkcyN0btspk0tvFJR5K3lOI-2NlbMGbTLwM/s1600/FB_IMG_1701961612568.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="900" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhx-dYP8OwJNZ1HmSsep7yTYpYpojn-lf6d2Usls0x3AEGnH777FvKVYrhM0O7B3edPbiGWtUim19xR5YA-R9mLFtnvIMdwx872Mt8UrwdQPtKKIFCvm9S5QJZEN9V2JK-Oqf8cSbFoOsJSzNI7iMJ15T5mabkcyN0btspk0tvFJR5K3lOI-2NlbMGbTLwM/w225-h400/FB_IMG_1701961612568.jpg" width="225" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">We had such a wonderful time together.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">I told Lynell that her coming really showed me her love and how much she values our friendship through the years.

We know they sacrificed a lot to come and we appreciate them so much.</div></div></div></div>Janethttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12884031524977000875noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6666665404436857062.post-34124887507155001572024-01-25T07:37:00.000-08:002024-01-25T07:37:58.932-08:00More pictures from October 22 anniversary weekend<p style="text-align: center;"></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Elizabeth came Oct. 21-22 and we still had Jeffrey and Lesa with us.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgc8FWR9a-z98E4GGRgLZ881BLAU6iqVYDHQCsmFZGrcyStFd0s7FzXDMZd4oHLZEb_kYdAOErwWvJJpGZv-1DgjScua_XfLeVnhElhpHw6BJGPgHWRG_m9ILLqRg-2tn1vjDY77Hx3u5zpQxeoP_1bE5CR4ReusJSyXvRf6SU5U9XkHIVHmyyF28XBADKF/s2048/oct%2021%20supper.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1536" data-original-width="2048" height="300" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgc8FWR9a-z98E4GGRgLZ881BLAU6iqVYDHQCsmFZGrcyStFd0s7FzXDMZd4oHLZEb_kYdAOErwWvJJpGZv-1DgjScua_XfLeVnhElhpHw6BJGPgHWRG_m9ILLqRg-2tn1vjDY77Hx3u5zpQxeoP_1bE5CR4ReusJSyXvRf6SU5U9XkHIVHmyyF28XBADKF/w400-h300/oct%2021%20supper.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"> A pre-anniversary picture</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjxaycuRBIIlu27aUZxtL11SVk0li_zC3RQwXVKaaa7hoMOfV3_CSCsdzn7kK1ke7hhg0Lfm7KKSd09dY3vbjPcFaa1WGR-euTY2OleQSvzDcgbOE1E6PhzRLUDppCcIhK0rNvu5jWnxGjn011citiSQpbdPjgkrqRT5y2lG9m2Qi1yYJh7YJw9CxtUlfoL/s2016/oct%2023%20r%20and%20j.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1512" data-original-width="2016" height="300" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjxaycuRBIIlu27aUZxtL11SVk0li_zC3RQwXVKaaa7hoMOfV3_CSCsdzn7kK1ke7hhg0Lfm7KKSd09dY3vbjPcFaa1WGR-euTY2OleQSvzDcgbOE1E6PhzRLUDppCcIhK0rNvu5jWnxGjn011citiSQpbdPjgkrqRT5y2lG9m2Qi1yYJh7YJw9CxtUlfoL/w400-h300/oct%2023%20r%20and%20j.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Elizabeth and I watched God's Missionary Church in Beavertown, PA for church that morning, Oct. 22.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhkuQA34f6nnGTtusfNRgKm_VG2QTl6FAmkXyO8VofhdF-LsxmA0N5oMJa2W6H_w9oUodFJouxWsQ_MQ4ELIekJ3DAtol97-yhyphenhyphenPtDo4FrK0FEUZKP0rccS6spKCPYq_ikhaeAy24ALrKpX7yZ-Xmzx0yL8a6hhtd7ZL5bOZDdV2LPIQJPCr_xZcHdInWDc/s2048/Eliz%20and%20Janet%20oct%2022.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1536" data-original-width="2048" height="300" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhkuQA34f6nnGTtusfNRgKm_VG2QTl6FAmkXyO8VofhdF-LsxmA0N5oMJa2W6H_w9oUodFJouxWsQ_MQ4ELIekJ3DAtol97-yhyphenhyphenPtDo4FrK0FEUZKP0rccS6spKCPYq_ikhaeAy24ALrKpX7yZ-Xmzx0yL8a6hhtd7ZL5bOZDdV2LPIQJPCr_xZcHdInWDc/w400-h300/Eliz%20and%20Janet%20oct%2022.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>Jason and Karen joined us for Sunday dinner.

At the time, I had had a couple ribs break with coughing. I hadn't had any follow-up chest x-rays since moving to Kentucky in September 2016. I had a breast MRI and it revealed spots on the ribs, where they were broken, and sternum. A bone scan showed some spots on my spine and iliac. I had a bone biopsy that confirmed it was the same breast cancer as I had had in 2011. The oncologist the Lord led us to, Dr. Robert Cody, told us that bone metastasis is incurable, outside of a miracle, but it can go into remission with treatment. He told us then, that the average life span with bone metastasis is 4-6 years. He assured us the treatment was very expensive, but there were ways to make it affordable. Before the next appointment, a new drug study became available for my kind of cancer! Entering this study meant that the bulk of my blood testing, CT and bone scans, medications, and the doctor's visits would be financially covered by the Study! This was certainly God's good provision for me. I was in this study for 2 years, having CT and bone scans every 3 months and labs every 4 weeks. By the following May (2022) the scans showed that the spots of cancer were smaller, stable, or not visible. I had reached remission! But the doctor warned, "You can never say 'complete remission'." I continued with every 3 months' scans looking favorable. </p><p>In May, 2023, I had a knee wrenching experience and tore my right meniscus. I was in a lot of pain and after staying off it and icing it for days, I began walking again with a cane. As time went on, I had lymphedema in that leg, was tested for blood clots, and saw an orthopedic for a consultation. After x-rays, he said that both of my knees were bone on bone, and I should think about knee replacements. We penciled in a date for that and I started PT exercises to get ready for that happening. Probably by July, my right knee wasn't the issue as much as my left leg started feeling like it was weak, and was it going to hold me up? I switched to using the cane to support my left leg, thinking maybe I had overused the muscles to protect my meniscus injury. I especially used the cane any time I was going to go up or down stairs. I thought if there was cancer involved in that leg, it would surely show up in the August bone scan. But after the scan results, there was no information about any cancer sightings. I continued using the cane on stairs. </p><p>My gait for just walking changed significantly, and it was because I felt like something was going to give way with my left upper leg. When we went for Mother's funeral, Rowen didn't go in to one of the rest stops, but videoed my walking back from the rest room. His voice on the recording is saying, "I'm really concerned about Mother's walking. This is not normal." My family was very concerned at the funeral about how I was walking. Marlene told someone else, (not me), "I think Janet has cancer in that leg." She just told me she was very concerned. I told her the scan hadn't showed anything.</p><p style="text-align: left;">We got home from the funeral on October 9 in the evening. I went to work the 10th, 11th, and 12th, and worked like crazy to catch up everything from the 8 days I had missed. I was almost done catching up by the afternoon of the 12th. I needed to take a report downstairs, and I started off without my cane. The first and only time I had forgotten it. I did not remember I had forgotten it, until I suddenly realized I was on the landing and I had fallen down several of the steps. I struggled to get to my feet, realizing that my left leg seemed not to be connected to my hip anymore. Others from nearby offices came when I called and brought a chair to set me on. They had to lower me to it. I couldn't bend to sit on my own. The ambulance was called. The paramedics had me stand to tie a sheet around me to stabilize the area, started an IV and gave me strong pain meds, then put me on a board and took me down the rest of the stairs (a much longer flight I'm glad I didn't fall down) to the stretcher. The bumpy 0.5 mile ambulance ride was excruciating, as was the stretcher ride over bumpy tiles into the ER. Being moved to the ER bed from the gurney, getting x-rays, every movement was excruciating pain. They gave me lots of IV drugs. They worked quickly and the effect did not last very long. This is the x-ray. It is a spiral break of the upper femur. One of the worst places and types of break to heal. The surgeon and radiologist feel the spiral-type of break was caused by the bone strengthening shot I was getting every four weeks. A spiral bone break is a side effect. That's so contradictive, and we don't understand, but Dr. Cody did stop having me have those shots after that.</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgoDHUyiYW9y895Ax0eXDmLxS_R4J1-B6RzHQIg4vddhSL7iKoZlLDaxK4WoR9jsndmml0xR5z1vnVKeeYYBq0aVgCEvT3-4SSO2oxuYoYaRVOFw2K7WEVyxi_QJGuhSSUiiTMUKWmgkfPFYW6mGFVHmOBJBIjFf25GEfYBYA8pISXsenDyBweGXhMb2FvF/s1599/broken%20leg.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1599" data-original-width="899" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgoDHUyiYW9y895Ax0eXDmLxS_R4J1-B6RzHQIg4vddhSL7iKoZlLDaxK4WoR9jsndmml0xR5z1vnVKeeYYBq0aVgCEvT3-4SSO2oxuYoYaRVOFw2K7WEVyxi_QJGuhSSUiiTMUKWmgkfPFYW6mGFVHmOBJBIjFf25GEfYBYA8pISXsenDyBweGXhMb2FvF/w225-h400/broken%20leg.jpg" width="225" /></a><br /><div style="text-align: left;">Me before surgery. I still had my blouse on from coming in the hospital. They put me in a hospital gown right before the surgery, which was the next day. I was added on to the surgery list to be after number 4 on Friday, October 13. We asked people to pray that some way I would not have to wait so long for surgery. I was in terrible pain, especially when the spasms would come and last 15 minutes at a time. They started giving me muscle relaxer pills too, and that helped. The last bad spasm I had was between 3 and 3:15 am on Friday morning. I have never had such horrible pain and I hope I never do again!! God answered our prayers. The surgeon, Dr. Denish Thawroni, usually had one operating theater, but on that day, he was assigned two! They slipped me in to be the second surgery of the day in the second theater. It was definitely an answer to prayer!</div></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj3HTl2WF7A24TV9aQETQwk5MvBEIlUKTswR_yW2X0NWjtvt8RuJtGDYDQMMkiOCmRF7tfeGxRCV756ga88uAAXRvtFOME4VQSg4tbMtDWOT4gzpAW1U7un67FKRQ9dqrVtvJc71Jmfbs2p54HcB0DQipnqLNyom5vsJsMJYJTQrsgOcLSSrBYHg9OzXr7p/s1920/before%20surgery%20pic.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1080" data-original-width="1920" height="225" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj3HTl2WF7A24TV9aQETQwk5MvBEIlUKTswR_yW2X0NWjtvt8RuJtGDYDQMMkiOCmRF7tfeGxRCV756ga88uAAXRvtFOME4VQSg4tbMtDWOT4gzpAW1U7un67FKRQ9dqrVtvJc71Jmfbs2p54HcB0DQipnqLNyom5vsJsMJYJTQrsgOcLSSrBYHg9OzXr7p/w400-h225/before%20surgery%20pic.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>After surgery picture.

When they were talking to me in the surgery room and telling me what they were going to do, I saw an apparatus that they would put me in to pull my bones back into alignment. I asked if I could be put to sleep before I was moved over to the surgery table, because being moved hurt so badly. They said yes, that they were putting me to sleep first. I was so glad and almost immediately I was asleep! I am so grateful for surgeons who know how to take care of these kind of breaks. Before they inserted the rod, they had to drill out part of the bone. That was sent away for pathology and I got the news a few days later that it was cancer in that area where the break was. So I knew then, that I had not "fallen down the steps and broken my leg," but that "my leg broke, and I fell down the steps." I do not know why the cancer was not seen on my scan in August, because it was definitely going on already at that point.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjuvUL0Gg4g4UvHSRtnKD10R6fd-kN-aVbuzUTpj-hBQePdYO9lN94No2YyCmI_gmcxly2IjzUwsiztGtONTx6UpjvAD7Nt8Oy3x3EmTKMgoWjTeHtAZQx124XthTShBnARznGB0C-p_uq7YL-XxtAZ-y-GDzA6B4EKb2IguJMRzKfJQex8CJLR3nF81gTw/s1869/upper%20rod.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1869" data-original-width="849" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjuvUL0Gg4g4UvHSRtnKD10R6fd-kN-aVbuzUTpj-hBQePdYO9lN94No2YyCmI_gmcxly2IjzUwsiztGtONTx6UpjvAD7Nt8Oy3x3EmTKMgoWjTeHtAZQx124XthTShBnARznGB0C-p_uq7YL-XxtAZ-y-GDzA6B4EKb2IguJMRzKfJQex8CJLR3nF81gTw/w181-h400/upper%20rod.jpg" width="181" /></a></div>The lower end of the rod above my knee.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEilXmQOyNp7boTeu1Q_-h8hFmKcCehS9lmY92BOrphI71cb08VB_uKT0xqhI8emFWWyJ_1r1Up40BzX1ntFJD2QWPeiNIzIseZ-vyvE2uVRgRk9hd5ipCu6VRw-g4aOV0pVjyUB1htRXoDeltIMqdCV2gqF_P_Bra5Yo9J1xW10ffyI9SPiAXL7nQj5Dqk2/s1920/lower%20rod.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1920" data-original-width="1080" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEilXmQOyNp7boTeu1Q_-h8hFmKcCehS9lmY92BOrphI71cb08VB_uKT0xqhI8emFWWyJ_1r1Up40BzX1ntFJD2QWPeiNIzIseZ-vyvE2uVRgRk9hd5ipCu6VRw-g4aOV0pVjyUB1htRXoDeltIMqdCV2gqF_P_Bra5Yo9J1xW10ffyI9SPiAXL7nQj5Dqk2/w225-h400/lower%20rod.jpg" width="225" /></a></div>Jason came and sat with Rowen during my surgery and when Rowen needed to go home later, Jason brought flowers and chocolate and stayed with me.

We had talked about wanting to do that sometime, especially with all the difficulty I had been having with my legs and knees all summer, but suddenly it was TIME! They had to drive to Iowa to drop off Preston with Lesa's family 'on the way' to Kentucky from Houston. Their van was having some problems that were serious, but they prayed it would make it all the way to our driveway and it did.

Finally on January 22, 3 months and 10 days after the break, the x-rays showed 90% healing, and I am allowed to gradually start bearing weight on the left leg, using the walker to walk. So far, I am so much enjoying putting both feet on the floor and starting to walk again!</div><div><br /></div><div>Time and space would fail to tell of all God's mercies and His fingerprints we have found in the past four months. God is good all of the time. We don't know what the future holds or how long of a future I may have. I have started on different medicines, since the study drugs had quit working. Apparently, the drugs will only help for 18-24 months at a time, and then the bone cancer will break through again. I found out in the bone scan in November that I also have bone cancer in my shoulders, in the tops of my humerus bones. I hope and pray that the new medicines will slow or reverse some of the new cancer. I got blood clots in my lungs from being mostly immobile after surgery, which started in my legs. This showed up on the CT scan in November. So I am on a blood thinner for the rest of my life. I am thankful for the Foundation that pays for it since it costs over $800/month. The chemo pill I am on has a cost of $15,000/month. That is also unaffordable. So after qualifying us, a Foundation is also providing that free of charge. The other medicines are within our ability to pay. We are so blessed! For this we have Jesus and He is proving over and over that He is Enough!</div><div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div></div>Janethttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12884031524977000875noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6666665404436857062.post-29654111105281115462024-01-17T14:38:00.000-08:002024-01-18T10:40:34.799-08:00Wanda Scoles's homegoing 7-5-1933 - 9-26-2023<p style="text-align: center;"> Mother had been in declining health for several years, but she had a fall on her and Daddy's 68th anniversary, August 9, 2023, that seemed to bring about her final decline. In September, she was put on Hospice care at home. Elizabeth and Emily both went to spend the weekend of September 22-24 with them. They sang a lot of songs and played piano and violin for her. Many loved ones called to tell her how much she meant to them and how much she was loved. The girls knew her time was close, but they had to go back to work. Marlene, Lyndell, and Sharen were spending as much time as possible with her and Daddy, and Marlene was there with Daddy when she breathed her last on the evening of September 26. </p><p style="text-align: left;"></p><div style="text-align: center;">I went to work on the 27th and delivered Melissa and Chandler's wedding gift quilt. Then that afternoon GBS graciously let me be off work until after the funeral time. Between then and when we left for Columbia on September 30, I quilted fabric and made a set of placemats for the GBS Homecoming Silent Auction. I was so glad for the opportunity to get this done, because I had hoped to find time to make something to donate.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg58EPXxjApYlQ4osR7eqOfJ6kgJZmSWApZfc-jo_TqHmcIXaoUiLXFyM_agyU4JTLYfqFd2Xh2R429nPksUMkT04HrrV6XXbbIPHEfHozk7PFDTmVcejJnpfVUumhWifYKZ1kGbSNM5zuU9kq1_1rmekZMHkaqpIH-25deTWMuCdQn2pCzhsT23J4IADl1/s4032/PXL_20230929_175019479.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3024" data-original-width="4032" height="300" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg58EPXxjApYlQ4osR7eqOfJ6kgJZmSWApZfc-jo_TqHmcIXaoUiLXFyM_agyU4JTLYfqFd2Xh2R429nPksUMkT04HrrV6XXbbIPHEfHozk7PFDTmVcejJnpfVUumhWifYKZ1kGbSNM5zuU9kq1_1rmekZMHkaqpIH-25deTWMuCdQn2pCzhsT23J4IADl1/w400-h300/PXL_20230929_175019479.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"> Regina Stetler and Sherilyn Stroud, our pastors' wives came over and brought us a wreath to remember Mother by.

Marlene wanted me to go through Mother's closet and decide what to donate and what to do with her clothes. I picked out several outfits that I have been enjoying wearing since we came home. I think everybody that wanted some got to keep something to remind them of Mother, but Rowen did a lot of hauling to Goodwill. We spent time with Daddy and heard stories from long ago. I wish we would've recorded them. We also sorted through craft stuff and odds and ends, pictures, and did some deep cleaning. It was a privilege to have the extra time with Daddy before all the family started arriving on Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday. </span></div></div><p></p><p style="text-align: center;">On Wednesday that week, Marlene, Sherry, and I went to the funeral home to comb Mother's hair. Marlene had already put it in curlers in advance. When I was a teenager and until I got so busy in nursing school, I had combed Mother's hair in a fancy updo that Aunt Carolyn had taught me. Then I taught Marlene to do it, and she did it for years. I have great memories of all the wonderful talks Mother and I had while I combed her hair so many years ago. That was when so much good advice was given and we shared wonderful fellowship.<br /></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjuTa09OuSg2Z9TKzHT4CsNIdMcnXxGPznewtagREYoDCxx7BCYKZTIjMuij3bit9FQAbt5Yotr8Mkvrw1AZEynBxsIgPHbwVl3BNhly8DG136t4v4oKY24gllQHQ0qeA1NzshywI1igQHILEIpuLbw2sS337Ii7QsEa_IQW4gHwgf5nArIq976H9kW1ZMi/s4032/PXL_20231004_193724745.MP.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em;

<p class="MsoNormal"><br />
Hello to all of our dear family and friends!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>2023 has been full to the brim of blessings and surprises.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Some of the surprises have not been fun, but
all has been ordered by our Savior who takes good care of us.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Some highlights of our year:<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Rowen officially retired and turned 65 in January!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>He has become the main cook and bottle washer
here at home, while also doing “honey-do” jobs for widows and older folks in
our church.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Jeff and Lesa were here in
January, and took Emily along with them to Bedford to help remodel and paint at
the new EFM headquarters.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Emily and
Rowen also painted the fellowship hall at church early this year.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">In February, Emily and Rowen and Janet took a once-in-a-lifetime
trip to Hobe Sound, Florida for the Sea Breeze Camp meeting.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We enjoyed the weather, all the services we
were in, meeting many of God’s family we didn’t know and being with friends we
know and love.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We enjoyed going to the
ocean, and time together fulfilling a dream we had had, of being in-person for
Sea Breeze Camp, after watching it online for so many years.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">In April, Emily and Janet enjoyed going to the Interchurch
Holiness Convention in Gatlinburg, Tennessee.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Besides the wonderful services and seeing and meeting so many people, we
enjoyed time with Janet’s sisters, Marlene and Sherry, niece Rebekah, and
“adopted” daughter, Joanna.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">In May, Emily graduated as Salutatorian from God’s Bible
School and College with her BA in Integrative Studies, with cognates in
Children’s Ministry and American Sign Language (certificate in Deaf Studies from
Cincinnati State). She had completed her classes in December, so she was free
to go with us to Florida, work part time at Chick-fil-A, take a couple
fact-finding trips regarding her future work, go with SWSE (GBS orchestra) on
tour one last time, and be the right-hand girl for Rowen’s April 26<sup>th</sup>
rotator cuff surgery, as caregiver, lawn mow-er, house keeper, and physical
therapy driver when Janet was at work.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">In June, our extended family had a family vacation in north
Missouri to celebrate Rowen and Janet’s 40<sup>th</sup> anniversary (October
22).<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>June was a much better time to
celebrate than October.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>(We had no idea
how much better until October arrived.)<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>We had a very nice Lodge, big enough for everybody, lots of activities
to do, hikes, swimming, canoeing, croqueting, lots and lots of board games,
etc.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It was such a lovely time and we
are so thankful for the opportunity we had to be together.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>This trip was also the last time for Rowen
and Janet to see Janet’s mother alive and in person. At the end of that trip,
we, (Rowen, Janet, Elizabeth, and Emily) went to Tulsa, Oklahoma to tour Happy
Hands Education Center, where Emily was seeking employment, had her interview,
was hired, and we picked out the apartment complex where she now lives.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">July was full of preparations for Emily’s move to
Oklahoma.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Janet made her a quilt; we
gathered furniture, and got a hitch installed on our van.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Emily said a lot of goodbyes and worked her
last shifts at the Ft. Wright, KY Chick-fil-A.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Our son, Tim flew in to help load and drive, and Aug. 1-3 we made a
fast, long trip moving Emily to Tulsa, OK.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>We moved her in on a very hot, sweaty day.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We are so thankful to have made that trip
with her and gotten her settled.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>She
started orientation and work the following week and is the assistant
kindergarten teacher for nine precious deaf or hard-of-hearing children.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Each school day’s lessons are in American
Sign Language.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Emily is fulfilling the
dream she had of working with deaf children.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>It is a Christian Deaf School serving children from birth up through 3<sup>rd</sup>
grade (expanding with more grades in coming years). The staff are all so loving
and welcoming to Emily and she is growing in her comfort level and
expertise.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">In September, Janet made a quilt for a GBS couple’s wedding
who have been special in our lives. (Only the future will tell if that is the
last quilt she makes.)<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">In August and September, Janet’s mother’s health declined
greatly.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>One weekend in September, Emily
and Elizabeth both went to spend time with their Grandma and Grandpa.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>A couple nights later, on September 26<sup>th</sup>,
Wanda Scoles went to heaven, released from her suffering, but leaving an empty
spot in our lives.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>She is with the Lord
she faithfully served and longed to see.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Rowen and Janet were privileged to go to Columbia, Missouri to spend
over a week with Rex Scoles and the other family as they came in.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>There was a lot we could do to help and we
kept very busy.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The funeral was sweet
with lots of memories shared and many dear people who came to help us celebrate
and mourn.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">We returned safely home on October 9.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Janet had been having lots of pain in her
left upper femur for 3 months and had been feeling like it was not going to
hold her when she walked or did stairs.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>On October 12, that bone gave way and she fell down several steps at
work.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Many of you already know, how the
femur had cancer, and it broke at that point in a spiral break.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>She had surgery on October 13, with a rod
inserted the entire length of the femur.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>She has been non-weight-bearing on that leg ever since.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>(Until the bone heals, she can’t walk on
it.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>After healing, she will have
radiation there.)<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>She went home on
October 16.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>So many kindnesses have been
done or expressed through prayers, meals, gifts, and visits since then.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Jeffrey and Lesa came from Houston to remodel
our main bathroom and put in a step-in shower.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Jason and Karen came over and made bread when we were out of bread and they
come from Cincinnati for encouraging visits as often as they can.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>All the family except Jeff and Lesa were here
for Thanksgiving.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>So much love has been
shown by our church family and many people all over the country have us in
their prayers.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We are so thankful that
Rowen has completely recovered from his shoulder surgery and is totally able
for all the extra responsibility and care of Janet, the cooking, and the
house.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>A wheelchair, walker, shower
chair, and recliner are our good friends.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">We had enjoyed nearly two years of success with the drug
study keeping Janet’s bone cancer metastasis in remission.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>However, those drugs have quit working.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>There is also cancer in her shoulders, and
now she has to be on different oral chemotherapy, not in a study.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>There are also blood clot issues, as a result
of immobility following surgery, so life has become complicated.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Even though we don’t know how the future is going to work
out, and we have unanswered questions, we serve a God Who knows all things, and
has a plan.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We are surrendered to His
will, wanting our lives to be a blessing and give honor to Him.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>“For This We Have Jesus!”<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>And “Oh, for grace to Trust Him More!”<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">God has been so faithful to us in 2023, and we know His
faithfulness will continue!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We desire
that all of our friends know Jesus as Savior and Lord and have a Christ-filled
Christmas and future.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Love and prayers,<o:p></o:p></p>

children and grandchildren home for Christmas in 2021. We will not have
everyone together this Christmas, but Randy's family and Jeff and Lesa are
planning to be here. Elizabeth hopes to come over from Bedford.</span><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: 14pt;"> </span><span style="background-color: white; font-family: "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: 14pt;">Emily is still residing with us, so she will
be the resident Auntie in charge of fun and delight for the nieces and nephews.</span></p>

vacation at a cabin in Union, Ohio, provided by the Karen Wellington
Foundation, which exists to help cancer patients have fun while they are going through
treatment. We enjoyed the time away, the nice place to stay, and fun
activities to do in an Amish area.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 14.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";"><o:p> </o:p></span><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: 14pt;">In June, Janet had a complete hysterectomy.
Thankfully, she recovered well and there was no cancer found in the
pathology. </span></p>

August, Elizabeth and Emily joined Rowen and Janet for a short vacation in
Shipshewana, Indiana. We had a delightful time in that wholesome Amish
town. We enjoyed shopping, a dinner theater (live play), a bike ride (the
girls), and lots of relaxing and enjoying each other.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 14.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";"><o:p> </o:p></span><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: 14pt;">Later in August, Jeffrey and Lesa came for a fun and busy
week's visit. Jeffrey and Rowen remodeled our little half bath. It
was our first time to have our granddog visit us. Preston was very well
behaved, because he is a well-trained dog, and we survived his visit. </span><span style="font-family: Wingdings; font-size: 14pt;">J</span><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: 14pt;"> </span></p>

She got
done this month! She went to Brentwood, Tennessee from May 27-August
1 for Deaf Camp at Brentwood Baptist Church, which combined both of her
cognates (American Sign Language and children's ministry) into one internship
project. She was </span><span style="background: white; color: #222222; font-family: "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: 14pt;">a camp staff teacher for nine 8-9-year-olds</span><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: 14pt;">, who are deaf, hard of hearing, or are children or siblings
of Deaf. All of the communication was in sign language during the
camp. It is a yearly camp with the goal of helping all of the kids (ages 3-16)
to be proficient in ASL. Emily attended the Deaf Church there at
Brentwood each Sunday and really enjoyed being immersed in ASL. She had
one hearing roommate and one deaf roommate in the lovely apartment that the
church provided for the camp staff. Janet and a friend went down to
Tennessee for a weekend visit. The highlight of that weekend, besides
seeing Emily and going to the Deaf Church, was getting to go zip-lining near
Nashville!!</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: 14pt;">Elizabeth and Emily went to Missouri for a Thanksgiving
trip. At Joplin, they got to see Tim and Brenda, Charissa, Felix, and
Piper and do some fun things with them. Then they went on to Columbia to
spend time with Janet's </span><span style="background: white; font-family: "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: 14pt;">parents (Rex and
Wanda Scoles) and several aunts, uncles, and cousins.</span><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: 14pt;"> They had a wonderful trip and a good time with
everybody. </span></p>

Evangelistic Faith Missions and Shepherds Global Classroom, and with children’s
ministry at her church. She enjoys her little apartment, cooking, hosting
friends for meals, and infrequent trips to see her family in Florence.</span></p>

December for her niece's wedding, and they got to see some of the dear family
the girls recently visited.</span></p>

this year, but also does handyman jobs for friends, and has begun some computer
work for Shepherds Global Classroom in the last couple of months. He
resigned BB effective Dec.31.</span></p>

splitting her work time between manning the phone/reception desk and working in
the Donor Records office. She enjoys greeting people who pass by the
phone desk. Janet</span><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: 14pt;"> continues in the drug study with
every four week appointments and labs, and every three month bone and CT
scans. The bone cancer has been arrested in its progress, is not
spreading, and likely is shrinking, so we feel very blessed. When
Janet is home, she is likely in the basement piecing and quilting to her
heart’s content.</span></p>

My sisters helped them sort and pack. Marlene found a box with 16 inch quilt squares that had been packed away since 1960! These blocks were made by Grandma Smith and the names embroidered on the blocks were people Mother and Daddy had known and been associated with in Kansas City when they were in college in the 50s. They moved away in 1960 to Nevada, Missouri to start their first pastorate. One block had 1960 embroidered by the person's name. Marlene sent the box to me in Kentucky. When I had time to look through the box, I got the idea of putting the blocks together into a quilt and giving it to Mother for Christmas. This was a surprise to her. Usually I show her the projects I am working on when we videochat, but I kept this one a secret. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEhxS0bTH2krCxYEPIL0IAoSiGpy_YZTeoTgIA2VLuTtowL0lP7P8e0UY0ANle7uPtnDdEc9Gz0D8SoL926J4rJqss4E4nN-bT6sEl7BTHW6ZSka_KHeXSohhSVrvyhcfRMB9GnNYEih0xi-0IrKrRJbaUukWgM_1P-b1vRyw0LmYg3HJnd3PrE6P2OJQg=s2048" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2048" data-original-width="1152" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEhxS0bTH2krCxYEPIL0IAoSiGpy_YZTeoTgIA2VLuTtowL0lP7P8e0UY0ANle7uPtnDdEc9Gz0D8SoL926J4rJqss4E4nN-bT6sEl7BTHW6ZSka_KHeXSohhSVrvyhcfRMB9GnNYEih0xi-0IrKrRJbaUukWgM_1P-b1vRyw0LmYg3HJnd3PrE6P2OJQg=w225-h400" width="225" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">This is in our quilting area of the basement after I finished the quilting and binding.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEj0v6V3FAXay81rZg9xykVX8VwHKPeKdJ9Oaq729NdbF2bJoSLXw-eO2T8mlyyPFwJfY5terDsZIV4Aw6cB1w8_Fiq1QJneIKkPKvqJSI4XeusIsHB7qolFOqxGlm6njbA746yB79nAr-4WPc5GCTivG2MJF1X8ZXzjUCJZa2RVY-detl09DHQ_eLbWUw=s2048" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2048" data-original-width="1536" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEj0v6V3FAXay81rZg9xykVX8VwHKPeKdJ9Oaq729NdbF2bJoSLXw-eO2T8mlyyPFwJfY5terDsZIV4Aw6cB1w8_Fiq1QJneIKkPKvqJSI4XeusIsHB7qolFOqxGlm6njbA746yB79nAr-4WPc5GCTivG2MJF1X8ZXzjUCJZa2RVY-detl09DHQ_eLbWUw=w300-h400" width="300" /></a><br />Rowen and I were privileged to go to Columbia to see Mother and Daddy and all my siblings December 10-12, and I took the quilt to Mother. She was very surprised to see these blocks she had nearly forgotten about and remember things about the people embroidered on there. Many of them are already gone to heaven.

<p class="MsoNormal">Another year has flown by!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>The parental Albertsons have been too busy to even blog this year.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>To those who we disappointed, we are
sorry!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We depend on Emily’s blog to be
enough for the monthly updates.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">January started out with two trips to Missouri—one to
celebrate a late Christmas with the Scoles family and buy our former quilter’s
quilting machine and table.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Within two
weeks we were back there for a much sadder occasion—the loss of our newest
brother-in-law.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Many of our friends have
lost someone to Covid this year.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It has
been rough!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>But when our loved ones
served Jesus, death is a temporary loss; we will meet again in heaven someday.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">In February, we gained a new grandson.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Josiah Nathaniel Peter Albertson was born Feb.
2 to Randy and Joy, making their family complete with five boys and two
girls!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Josiah was born with bladder
extrophy (his bladder was outside his body).<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>The ultrasounds had prepared them for this and they were at Mayo in
Minnesota for the birth.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>A few days
later, Joy had a SCAD heart attack (Spontaneous carotid artery dissection).<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We were glad they were where doctors knew
what it was and what to do.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>God has been
so good to their family, saving Joy’s life and helping her to recover.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We are thankful for all the prayers and the
people who were nearby who have helped in so many ways.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>In July, the three Kentucky Albertsons flew
to South Dakota for 12 days and stayed with the other six kids while Josiah had
a major surgery fixing his bladder and reshaping his hip bones.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Following that was another long recovery time
when God helped the whole family as Josiah needed a lot of care and had to be
pretty flat with lots of rods and screws holding his bones together while they
healed.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">In April, our oldest granddaughter, Charissa, Tim’s oldest, had
a close call with ketoacidosis and could have died.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We are thankful for the care she received
from pediatric diabetes doctors in Springfield, MO to save her life!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We are also thankful for the many prayers
people prayed for her.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Being a 9 year
old Type 1 Diabetic is no picnic!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>She
and her parents have been brave as they learned to calculate carbs, give shots,
constantly monitor blood glucose and respond to the roller coaster that comes
with T1D.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">In March, Emily was privileged to go on a Missions trip to
Honduras for 10 days with a group from GBS.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>It was a wonderful and growing experience for her.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>In May, Emily finished her Junior year of
college, worked fulltime at Chick-fil-A all summer, and on Saturdays only after
school started again—until November 6, which was her last day of work.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>She had worked there for five years—as long
as it had been opened.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>She is greatly
missed, but she needs more time to study and less stressful weekends with her
advanced ASL classes and a heavy school load.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>She is also in both band and choir and some weekends she travels for
band or choir services.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Elizabeth has lived in Bedford, Indiana for over a year now,
and we were able to help complete her efficiency apartment and get her moved in
and settled.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>She is busy and fulfilled
working for Evangelistic Faith Missions and Shepherds Global Classroom.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>In March, she began a year of leading the Joy
Ambassadors, the junior church ministry at Faith Mission Church.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>She doesn’t get to come home for weekends
much because of this responsibility, but we sometimes go see her and she comes
for occasions when she can get back for Sunday.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span><o:p></o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal"></p><p class="MsoNormal">Jeffrey and Lesa didn’t get to come for Janet’s early 60<sup>th</sup>
birthday party in August when almost everybody else came, but they spent a wonderful week
with us in September.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It’s a long ways
from Houston!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We are hoping everybody
can be here for after Christmas time.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Jason
and Karen are both busy teaching at God’s Bible School.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We are glad we get to see them pretty often
and they are happy serving Jesus.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Rowen has continued to install for Budget Blinds and
Tailored Living and been exhausted most days at the end of the day.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>He has given notice that he is going
part-time January 3.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We’re praying they
will have the help they need so he doesn’t have to feel guilty about working
less.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>With the >20 years of having
diabetes, the strength and endurance are not enough for the rigorous days.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We were saddened with the loss of Rowen’s
boss from Covid in October. His wife and daughter are keeping the company
going.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Janet has enjoyed making quilts and table runners this
year.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It is very satisfying to have the
quilting machine and be able to quilt our own projects!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Rowen and Janet both had Covid early May,
which gave needed time off to make a queen size quilt for our “adopted” GBS
daughter’s wedding gift.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The three of us
took a weekend trip to Michigan for that wedding in June.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Perhaps many of you know already about the new health
challenge Janet is facing.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>After not
having a doctor since moving to KY, that was a priority this year, and to have
a close look to see how she really was, since ten years had passed since her
breast cancer in 2011.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>MRIs, CT scans
showed multiple lesions indicative of bone metastasis and a bone biopsy
confirmed this in September.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>God has
provided a Drug Study for her to be in which makes most of the treatment and
testing free, after getting in the study.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>She is on anti-hormone medicines orally, which have only had a couple side
effects.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Mouth sores is one side effect.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The other is lowered white blood cell
count.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>One of the medicines has been
stopped until the wbcs come back up, and the dosage lowered twice.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Now it should be the right dosage to not
deplete the wbcs.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>In the study, she will
have scans every 12 weeks to see the progress.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>The goal is to stop the progression of the bone cancer, and to shrink
the cancer.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>She also gets a shot to
strengthen the weak places in the bones to prevent fractures.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Outside of a miracle, a cure is not expected,
but remission is hoped for.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We are very
thankful that this was caught early enough to not be in dreadful pain, and
besides being careful not to lift too heavy of objects or get germs from people,
she is able to do everything normally at home and continue working at God’s
Bible School at a job she loves.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">We’ve been thankful for all the prayers and care of so many
people.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It seems like we or those we
love had been on many prayer lists this year.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>What would we do without God’s family?<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Our church has been so good to carry the load too.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">More and more we realize that “this world is not our home,
we are just passing through.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Our
treasures are laid up somewhere beyond the blue…”<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We are more determined than ever to live for
Jesus, to make a difference, to make it to heaven, and take others with
us.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>God has been so good to us!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We have no complaints.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>God is good all the time!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We pray you each have a Christ-filled
Christmas!<o:p></o:p></p>

to our family and friends!</span><span style="font-size: 12pt; mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><span style="font-size: 12pt;">I want to
write a Christmas letter without mentioning the C word, even though we all know
it affected many things about our lives this year.</span><span style="font-size: 12pt; mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><span style="font-size: 12pt;">We still had many blessings and we still had
many highlights and good times this year.</span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">
<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We were blessed to host 20 students,
23 family members, 50 church folk, and 18 others as guests for meals in our
home.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We even had 26 overnight
guests.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Probably our governor would not
have approved of every gathering, but we behaved pretty well when he was most
insistent.<br />
<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We got to make a trip to South
Dakota to see our oldest son and his family over the long July 4<sup>th</sup>
weekend.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>This was our first time to see
Mandylyn in person, when she was over 10 months old.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We had a great time with them.<br />
<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We were privileged to have a week’s
vacation in northern Georgia in late July.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>We were gifted a stay at a resort in the mountains.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The weather was really hot, but we still had
a lot of fun together, hiked to a beautiful waterfall, were able to enjoy
swimming, canoeing, paddle boating, a museum, quilt shop, and antique
store.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We even had time to sit by the
lake and read and relax.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We also saw 3
different sets of friends on the front end of the trip and toured a cave in
Tennessee on the way home.<br />
<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Elizabeth had the opportunity to
move to Bedford, Indiana to begin working for Evangelistic Faith Missions in
mid-August.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>She has enjoyed getting to
know another group of God’s wonderful people there and is challenged daily by
all the work there is to do for EFM and Shepherds Global Classroom.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We have gone there 3 times to help with various
renovation projects at the office.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We
are thankful that Elizabeth is content in knowing she is where God wants her to
be and He is teaching her many things in her new work.<br />
<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>All of our “away” kids and grandkids
were with us for the August 23rd weekend to celebrate Elizabeth’s graduation
with her BA and Jason’s graduation with his BA and MA from God’s Bible School
and College.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We so much enjoyed having
everybody together for the weekend.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The
only drawback was that Jason and Karen were not with us in person for a reason
I am not mentioning (see paragraph 1).<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>But we are very happy and proud of our graduates and we (finally) got
pictures of them together when Elizabeth came home for her birthday weekend in
September.<br /><br /></span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhj0vfmy05WEHDtAzYmwB-2Cts16lBpu6Pie_8r4j_3RTeUVqO_SRKWH70mKNP16zOOwUXW0PF4NYfr_NACnIZZxAecm_WqY84sOfTIZwsPJcrn30ToWsaIuynU0DLncGz0g37tnTC_AtMb/s2048/IMG_0428.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1536" data-original-width="2048" height="300" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhj0vfmy05WEHDtAzYmwB-2Cts16lBpu6Pie_8r4j_3RTeUVqO_SRKWH70mKNP16zOOwUXW0PF4NYfr_NACnIZZxAecm_WqY84sOfTIZwsPJcrn30ToWsaIuynU0DLncGz0g37tnTC_AtMb/w400-h300/IMG_0428.JPG" width="400" /></a></div><p></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 12pt;"> </span><span style="font-size: 12pt;">Because of shorter work hours from
mid-March to mid-August, I got time to make small quilts for the 4 youngest
grandchildren who didn’t have a quilt from grandma yet.</span><span style="font-size: 12pt;"> </span><span style="font-size: 12pt;">I also made one for our Georgia friends’ new
baby and a nap quilt for Elizabeth to have in her Indiana life.</span><span style="font-size: 12pt;"> </span><span style="font-size: 12pt;">Because my quilter has retired, I quilted
these smaller quilts using one of our sewing machines and a walking foot.</span><span style="font-size: 12pt;"> </span><span style="font-size: 12pt;">Because my quilter offered her machine for
sale, and it has long been a goal/dream of Rowen and I to have a long arm
quilting machine, we plan to buy it from her on our New Year’s trip to Missouri!</span><span style="font-size: 12pt;"> </span><span style="font-size: 12pt;">We hope to learn how to quilt and save a lot
of money by doing it ourselves.</span><span style="font-size: 12pt;">
</span><span style="font-size: 12pt;">Hopefully we will get experienced enough to quilt for other people too,
someday.<br /></span><span style="font-size: 12pt;"> </span><span style="font-size: 12pt;">We had to have a new roof and a new
furnace and air conditioner this year.</span><span style="font-size: 12pt;">
</span><span style="font-size: 12pt;">We are thankful to have those things done and trust that is the end of

so we could have a porch swing.</span><span style="font-size: 12pt;"> </span><span style="font-size: 12pt;">This
year the family got me a swing for Mother’s Day.</span><span style="font-size: 12pt;"> </span><span style="font-size: 12pt;">We have enjoyed it very much.<br /></span><span style="font-size: 12pt;"> </span><span style="font-size: 12pt;">We tried to have a family picture in
August, because of our last one being from 2017 and we’ve gained 2 more

were missing, but Emily photo-shopped them in.</span><span style="font-size: 12pt;">

will be getting another grandchild.</span><span style="font-size: 12pt;"> <br /></span><span style="font-size: 12pt;"> </span><span style="font-size: 12pt;">We are thankful for all the
blessings this year held, but most of all we are thankful for an unchanging God
who is in control and is still the Answer that every one of us need.</span><span style="font-size: 12pt;"> </span><span style="font-size: 12pt;">We are so glad we are committed to His purpose
in our lives.</span><span style="font-size: 12pt;"> </span><span style="font-size: 12pt;">We are so glad Jesus came
to be our Savior, our Emmanuel, “God with us.”</span><span style="font-size: 12pt;">
</span><span style="font-size: 12pt;">We celebrate that!</span><span style="font-size: 12pt;"> </span></p>

Please look at <a href="http://joyforthejourneyemily.blogspot.com/">Emily's blog</a> to catch up with the details. </p><p>We were blessed to have a vacation in Georgia the end of July. Rowen's employers gave us a week at a time share. That was such a blessing to get away and to have a place to stay and cook our own food, but fun things to do there and in the surrounding area. We got to see our CO friends the Kauses who live in TN on the way. We also got to see one of our "adopted" GBS kids (Jimmy) as we got into Georgia and to meet his family. We got to see our lifetime friends, Kent and Ann, who graduated with Janet in 1979. It was a lot of fun to go out on the lake with them, even though I disappointed Kent by not "driving" the tritoon. At least Rowen and Emily bravely drove it and I had such a nice visit with Ann. It was a privilege to have a vacation with Elizabeth and Emily. </p><p><br />In August, Elizabeth moved to Bedford, Indiana to work for Evangelistic Faith Missions. I went with her to get her settled. She came back home for the weekend of August 22-23 for graduation. All of our family was here together, except for Jason and Karen, who live so close, but not allowed to be out. They were in quarantine. We are so thankful that Jason has a very light case of Covid-19, with only loss of taste and smell as symptoms, but it was sad that he didn't get to be at his own graduation where he received two awards and his Bachelors and Masters degrees! We were so looking forward to Elizabeth and Jason graduating from college together like they did high school back in 2011. But it was sweet to have everybody else here for the short weekend.</p><p><span style="text-align: center;"><span> </span><span> </span><span> <span> </span></span>Elizabeth and Mishael, Randy's 5th.

We were all able to get off on July 3 - July 6 for a long weekend, so we decided to go to see Randy and Joy's family in Parkston, SD. It had been over a year since they had been to Kentucky, and we had never seen Mandylyn in person since she was born August 26, 2019.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
So we traveled from very early on Friday morning and arrived at their house at almost 9 p.m. We packed in as much excitement and fun as we could the next two days and then came home all day Monday. It was almost 2000 miles!</div>

Joanna came after her shift at Wal-mart. We were so happy to get to spend time with Joanna, as it's been a long time since we've seen her, except for Emily who drove to Illinois and surprised her with a visit in early June when she was at her parents' house. Emily and Joanna are best friends, as well as aunts to these precious grandchildren of ours.</div>

Rowen worked in his little workshop (garage) putting in shelves and organizing it into usable space for his tools. This looks like a garage from the outside, since it has a garage door, but the people who flipped this house, cut the garage in half and made the bonus room inside beside the kitchen that we use as an office. The workshop is maybe big enough for a mini cooper if you parked it sideways in there, but we don't have one, so we use it as a workshop.</div>

Emily and Elizabeth got matching shirts and skirts and wore them that Sunday. They are standing in front of our Jane Magnolia tree which bloomed again the end of June. It wasn't as prolific in the blooming as in the spring, but having all its leaves probably makes a difference in how many blossoms the second blooming has.</div>

We are enjoying being back to church at least once each Sunday and Wednesday evenings. We are hoping soon the restrictions will be lifted and we can have the whole congregation present at once. We are thankful to have stayed very healthy!</div>

Of course, all over the world, people have made adjustments to the Corona virus situation, so it is no news to say that the restrictions also changed our lives. We have been missing being with our church family and missing all of the GBS students who went home for Spring break on March 13, never to return the rest of the semester.<br />
Rowen has still had work to go to most days since then, and Janet still works every day, but shorter hours. Those shorter hours away from home, and the lessened traffic time, has given her time to work on a sewing project. She is piecing squares that will eventually make two small quilts for grandsons Felix and Mishael.<br />
Elizabeth and Emily are doing college from home, with online support from teachers and some class times that are online. It is perhaps easier for them to do college from home than others, since they were raised homeschooling all their lives, but they really miss the personal interactions with other students and teachers, and chapel services. Emily is working 4 hours on Fridays and up to 12 hours on Saturdays at Chick-fil-A, which has switched to only drive through service and every one wearing masks and gloves who work there. Elizabeth works 5 hours every Saturday for Shepherds Global Classroom, reformatting the design of the books they have available for classes all over the globe.<br />
We have church at home with emails from our pastors with songs and sermons through YouTube. I think we are all spending more time in the Word and in prayer, which is good for us!<br />

Janet was allowed to give blood for the first time in this part of the country! The other times she had tried, there was a stipulation that if you had ever had cancer, you were deferred from giving blood. Now the rules have been changed, and she is allowed. She was so happy for the privilege of giving again. This was at a GBS Blood Drive.</div>

On March 9, a dear friend from church passed away suddenly, and from our earthly point of view, tragically. For Gordon Martin, it was all glory, because he went to be with the Lord forever!</div>

Here is a picture of his wife, Nancy and him:</div>

They lived over in Indiana right next to Louisville, Kentucky. Because that is such a drive from our church in Burlington, they parked their RV behind the fellowship hall and spent the weekends on the church property. Gordon was on the church board, and videoed the services and helped in the sound booth. He and Nancy duplicated and mailed the DVDs of the services to the shut ins and people at a distance who wanted the services. One friend of theirs found Jesus because of this DVD ministry.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We and many others went to the funeral on March 13.</div>

We were so grateful that the travel and assembly restrictions were not in place yet, when Gordon passed away. It would have been much harder for Nancy if we all could not have gone to be with her and honor Gordon in this way.</div>

Our church had planned for months to have a 25 years of pastoring celebration for Darrell and Regina Stetler on March 15. Nancy wanted them to go ahead with it, even after the loss of Gordon. It was so good that we did, because that was our last church gathering for how long--we don't yet know!</div>

With all the rain that we have had this winter and spring, we discovered water problems. One was our basement, and the other our roof. So we have had two house projects.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We first discovered our basement wall leaking when we returned from our December trip to Missouri. There is a drain in the floor edge on the left in the picture below, but none on the right wall. You can see the crack that had been mended in the past. All the times we looked at this house last summer, even after rain, there was no leak. So the "fix" had failed at the end of the year. The water table has been high with all the rain we've had. We put old towels down on the floor to catch the water and keep it from going across the room and under the wall to the floor drain behind the bar. Thankfully all that floor involved is concrete, not carpeted! We have not seen any problems in the carpeted, finished part of our basement.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
We were told that we should remove the paint from this wall in order to seal it again. Rowen did this, but it was not possible for a couple weeks for the wall to be dry enough to reseal it with new paint. We had so much rain! We were going through so many towels, having to launder a load of wet towels several times a day some of the days.</div>

The next big rain, we had two places that leaked. The dam retained it and we squeegeed it to the French drain.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
Since then our neighbor gave us some cement sealer that Rowen put in those spots and repainted and we have not had trouble since! So we are hoping that problem is solved!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We discovered our roof was leaking when it came through the sunroom ceiling on February 16. We had a couple roof guys give their opinions. The most through roof guy went up in our attic and took pictures of the sheeting that was ruined several places. It was only a matter of time before we would have our ceiling ruined in our bedrooms! The other danger was our rafters becoming damaged if we let the sheeting continue to be destroyed. So we felt the only thing to do was to protect our investment and get a new roof. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
That happened on April 15. The old shingles were removed and sheeting was replaced everywhere it was damaged. The new underlayment and new valleys are superior quality and the shingles are fiberglass and the guarantee is for 30 years. A ridge vent was installed, which this house never had. We feel we have had a superior roof installed and it will still be good even after we have gone to heaven! The color is Castle Gray, which we feel is attractive on our house. Both of our neighbors have commented that they like the color of it.</div>

April 19 (today) we felt led to ask Lonnie and Leta Witt to join us for dinner. We know they have been so lonely without the church fellowship and they have been on our hearts to encourage. They brought their food and we put it together with ours and enjoyed the meal and visiting around the table.</div>

Abi and Gaby Montero were with us over the turn of the year. On New Years' Day, they and Elizabeth and Emily slaved away in the kitchen for many hours and made a lot of tamales. They made red sauce for the chicken, and green sauce for the pork. They also made a small batch of sweet raisin tamales. Everything was made from scratch, the hard way!</div>

Elizabeth was able to take time to go to the latest adoption of our church family. Tim and Patty Stamper, amazing foster and adoptive parents, added Lilyanna in their family of six. They have raised Lilyanna from when she was a few weeks old as a foster child. I am so appreciative of this wonderful family and their hearts for children.</div>
