Friday Night Day 21

Hey All,
Well another week has passed, and were still here. It seems so long ago that we started this, well, journey, but it has only been three weeks to the day. The days just seem to morph into one big chunk of time, kinda like our lives in general. I can remember just a few short days ago (years) coming to Boulder Creek, after living in a variety of places, and feeling like I was home. From seeing Frank sweeping in front of Johnnies market, which he still does to this day, to driving down ol' Hwy 9 into Santa Cruz, which I still do to this day, this place has all I need for me to call home. I love after being gone for a while, coming over Mt. Hermon road and looking into the town of Felton. The trek past San Lorenzo Valley High, the awesome school that 3 of my children(one still to go) have graduated from, through Ben Lomond and Brookdale, and finally to Boulder, the sleepy little town in the redwoods. Seeing the phrases that Pastor Mike puts on the sign in front of the community church always make think, and depending on what season it is, how the town is decorated, whether the giant Christmas tree is lit, or there are just signs for up coming events, it always makes me feel good. I like going into the bank, or the gas station, or Scarbourogh lumber, or any number of places in town, and seeing someone I know and catching up on things (much to my kids dismay) and all the while thinking to myself, there's no other place I'd rather be. San Lorenzo Valley, it's a great place to Live. Thanks to God for placing me here.

I don't really know where I'm going with all this, I guess I am just felling a little bit nostalgic. The way the Valley, and people across the world, have come to my aid, just makes me reflect on things, and this is what happens. Sometimes you have to be thankful for the good things in your life, to help you through times that are tough, and I have plenty of good things. As for today, things are about the same. Jerry is sleeping after another day of physical and occupational therapy, mom is at home, and I'm pulling the night shift. Just another day. Jerry's tests that he took yesterday, bone scans and stomach checks, all came back good. He's sleeping well, and we got some food and watched a movie tonight. A fairly uneventful day, so to speak.

Tomorrow after his PT at 10, we are all loading up in a van from 12:30-3:30 and going to the San Jose tech museum, so that should be fun, and I should have some more pictures and stuff to write about. Other than that, just another day of this Journey we call life. I thank you all once again for tuning into this time in our lives, and hope you will continue to think of us when you think of all the good things in your own lives.

Peace and Love to All,
Dennis
