Happy New Year

Hey, 2018, don't let the door......

Like many, we all had plans last night.....a movie night with frozen Chinese for the Friers clan. Same but with home cooked stuff for the Schultz crew. We even had the movies picked out.....after much debate. Popcorn for all at some point. Liz has a knack for really good popcorn.

However, 2018 was not done with us. It was not a great year, although it surely had its high points, what with our baby marrying his princess, great birding, and assorted other good times. Still it seemed like we lost someone was cared about almost every week. Too many losses....We were ready for a new year.

But as I said, 2018 wasn't going down without a fight. Jade didn't feel well in the morning and by evening was having serious emergency surgery. I will let them share the details if and when they wish to, but recovery will be long and arduous. As in year long. Nobody is going to forget this New Year's for a very long time.

I want wish you all a very Happy New Year just the same. Everyone has times like this and Liz is a strong woman. She will pull her family through if anyone can. We are all here to help where possible.

First bird for 2019....you knew I was still going to be counting didn't you?....a Canada Goose calling from the river hours before dawn. 

Better days are coming it says here in fine print.

Thoughts and prayers are with Jade, Liz, and little Miss Peggy who surely is concerned for her Daddy. And for the rest of you who are there for moral and physical support.

So sorry to hear...prayers for strength and healing and a better year ahead.

The modern medical system helps Jade survive the emergency. So quiet reflective healing time should be used to consider his future plans of healing and strengthening - and it will take the whole family in the effort. God bless all your best.

Thank you all for your kind words and prayers. The kids are in for a long haul, and I am sad for them. Glad this was caught in time though before more harm was done. Thanks again
