October Recap

I don't have any new information on Peter. I do know he is to appear before a judge in a couple of weeks. The ultimate goal seems to be to get him qualified for mandated medical help. Please continue to pray towards this end along with a place to get therapeutic help once he is stabilized. My heart breaks for him and his current situation. There is a continual underlying sadness. However, I have been very grateful for the break from trying to fix things for him. The past month plus, I have had several fun events. Knowing he is being cared for has freed me to fully engage in them. Here is a little recap.

At the end of September we caught up with Anna and the kids in Cleveland GA for an Ag Festival.  Always fun to be with them and it was a beautiful day outside.  

In early October I tagged along with Billy and Melissa (and friends) to St. Simon and Jekyl Island.  This is where I did my one and only half marathon 9 years ago.  I barely did a 5K this time. But it was so fun to be back at the islannds and breath in the salt air. The weather was phenominal and the people and pace soothing to the soul.

Mid October I participated in my church Trunk or Treat.  I recycled last year's costume, borrowed props from school, and revamped an old trunk or treat activity to present Pete the Cat and his Groovy Button Game.

October 20-23 mom and I went on surprise visit to Kansas.  It will get it's own post.

This past weekend I capped off the fall festivies with a visit from my friend Dora who lives in Alabama.  She called herself Dora the Explorer as she led me on an adventurous day exploring in the North Georgia Mountains.  It was so fun to have her stay in my guest room and I  enjoyed the peaceful time with her.  

I am grateful for these many gifts of being able to rest and refresh this Fall.  I have one more trip coming up  .. but I will tell you about that later.  As always thank you for cheering me on and praying with us.  A friend recently said "I like to think we are walking each other Home, to our Eternal Home."  I really like that.  Thanks for walking me home.  (And I am just now having this thought that maybe I have already shared that with you.  I am not going to take the time to go back and look.  Even if I have,, I don't think it hurts to say it again.
