SUPER SUNDAY
Today has been a super Sunday ending to a super weekend. Our daughter and son-in-law came in Friday and granddaughter Vanessa came in Saturday. She stopped for us in Abilene to pick up a refill on Lou's pain pills that she is needing. She had quit taking any because of the resultant constipation giving her concern. So she has been hurting when she gets in bed, stand, or gets up from her chair. It isn't too bad when she is quiet. Last night after taking laxitive she got relief and went back on pain pills and is watching the Super Bowl in relative comfort.

Kathy made some great meals for us. Keith did a lot of chores for me. Dr. Sylvia Grider came in with a beautiful chocolate meringue pie for the noon meal. Ike and Sue came out to visit a little later. About 2 Vanessa returned to Lubbock to work on her career choices after taking aptitude and interest tests that are pointing her toward a nursing career. Everyone else left except Sylvia when our pastor Rev. Margaret Friend came to bring communion to Lou. After an interesting stimulating conversation she offered a beautiful communion service using nan regon (sp?) bread she had made. I have always argued the passover or seder meal used unleavened bread, so Margaret made some great Indian flat bread that we are continuing to use. The service was the most memorable and will remain that way.

The Super Bowl is over. Sylvia's team lost and our's won which means the Cowboys aren't that bad.

This has to be one of the best Sundays ever. Keep Lou in your prayers as she continues to heal and goes for her last (hopefully) chemo on Ash Wednesday.

Charles and Lou,

I am so glad you are surrounded by such loving family and friends. Know that even those of us who are distant have you in our thoughts and prayers.
