Master Barista and new family members

Short and sweet today. It's been an eventful summer with two hospital stays, procedures, a trip, new wheels and new family members. I'm going to try to just tell the story in pictures


Great Grandparents
Bob's Two nieces had their first babies just months apart this summer
 
Our Fur babies Marlin and Spike lived to the ripe old ages of 18 & 19 - we miss them terribly
 
Bob and I added Miss "Kootenay Snow Suzette" to our household

Packed up for our annual trip to the Port Townsend Wooden Boat Festival
Trudy and her husband Jeff are our travel buddies that make this trip possible



We found Amazing and Unusual accommodations for the trip

Unfortunately Bob's body had difficulty being in the scooter all weekend. His Neurologist put him in the hospital for four days to ward off a UTI and low BP and ordered a new tilting and reclining wheelchair
 
We received the chair in less than 6 weeks
 And he was able to use the freedom it affords him to make Lattes


 
 
 
 In August The VA built a ramp to make it easier to get Bob out of the house- We love it!!!
 
 
 

Bob being Bob- I had to lay him down next to his power recliner and he had to take a look at the mechanism

 
In June we sent his 67 Mustang to the car doctor's so we can spend this next summer cruising around
 
 
 
 
It was a very full summer with good things, hard things and many many blessings for which we are so grateful for. As we approach Thanksgiving and Christmas we reflect on God's goodness and mercies in providing all our needs. We are blown away by the folks at our church who are ministering to us by providing much needed support in helping us cope with Bob's challenges.
 
At the beginning of this journey I had no idea how all these things would come to pass. But God told me he had my back in Joshua 1:3 -
 
 "Every place upon which the sole of your foot shall tread, that have I given to you......" 
 
He has kept his promise in ways I never imagined.
 
Have a very Happy Thanksgiving
