 Here is our adorable grandchildren and glad they got to go out for Halloween! Dean is the knight, Camellia is Harley Quinn, Elena is the witch, Dillon -is Mandalorian and Lila makes a cute Poison Ivy!  My daughter Emily made this pumpkin patch! It is delicious and is a dirt pudding.
I can't believe October flew by so quickly! One of my reader friends was wrapping her Christmas gifts yesterday! I am impressed that she is done with Christmas shopping. I never get started early.  Click here to purchase the audiobook of A Decision of Faith!
Review by Norma Den 5.0 out of 5 stars Good clean Amish story How lovely to meet up again with “old friends”. Violet has been brought up “English” as opposed to her mothers side of the family being Amish. However she had visited her grandparents frequently over the years & made friends in the community. With her father a senator & considering running for President, meeting & falling in love with Luke, son of the Amish Bishop, was the furthest thing from her mind. This story addresses the choices & difficulties of choosing between Amish life or remaining “English”. A truly lovely story, well written with empathy & insight. I’ve already downloaded the next series in which I hope to meet up with some old friends. On Wednesday, I went for another IV infusion. The first nurse had trouble finding a vein, so she got another nurse to insert the IV. My white blood count is still too low and even dropped to 1.3. Dr. Herms said it is low due to the chemo I had for my cancer.
I should (hopefully) have my last maintenance treatment in August 2021! I can't wait! My next CAT scan is in February and Dr. Herms said I'll have to continue having scans every 6 months for some time. I was anticipating that once my treatment ended that I could just have scans once a year. I am still waiting for ACX to approve my audiobook for A DECISION OF FAITH! I'm anxious to have all four books of my Dreams of Plain Daughters Series available in audiobooks! Our handsome son Bartholomew married beautiful Kelly on Saturday at St. Thomas More church. We are blessed to have Kelly and her sweet daughter Camellia in our family. The weather was perfect and so lovely. Our daughter Amanda was a bridesmaid and did awesome. It was her dream to be a bridesmaid and she enjoyed it a lot. Christina and April were readers and did a great job. Kelly's uncle did the first reading. It was nice meeting some of Kelly's relatives who live out-of-state. Dillon was the best man and Camellia was the maid of honor. Kelly's sister Pam was the matron of honor and Elena and Lila were flower girls. 
Mother and Son Dance Tom and I won a dance contest that was for married couples! Elimination of couples occurred as the DJ gave years married. We were the last couple dancing because we were married the longest at 45 years. We won a gift card from Bart and Kelly.  Our beautiful grandchildren  Two of our gorgeous daughters - April and Christina! They were readers for the church service!  Daughter Sara and grandson Dean  Daughter April with her husband Michael and their son Dean!
Happy October, everyone! I can't believe it is already October with much cooler temperatures at night here in southwestern Ohio. I saw a new review today for book 2 in my Dreams of Plain Daughters Series. Thank you to reader/reviewer, James Hall, for taking time to post it on Amazon! Good Read “Enjoyed reading this book because the characters had flaws in their lives that they had to deal with. It shows how people can have different beliefs, but can still love one another and help each other.” Click here to buy a copy!   Our son is getting married this Saturday. Our daughter Amanda is thrilled to be a bridesmaid for the first time. A bridesmaid dropped out so Amanda was asked the end of August to fill in. We went to David's Bridal to get her dress ordered. They didn't have her size. The only one they had closest to her size was in Georgia's David Bridal and unfortunately, 2 sizes too big. It's been altered and sharing the picture of Amanda wearing it. Our two granddaughters Elena and Lila will be flower girls. Our grandson Dillon will be a junior groomsman and Carmellia will be a junior bridesmaid. Camellia is the bride's daughter and the same age as Dillon.
I had to order several dresses before I decided on one. And I love my navy blue sparkly dress! Shoes have been a problem with getting the right size. I looked in many stores but couldn't find any navy blue with low heels. I have to have a little extra height in shoes because I didn't want to get dress altered. Why do I have to be so short? haha I even ordered a size 10 petite and still too long with flats. It seems like the stores aren't carrying as many shoes to try on, so I ordered shoes online from Macy's, Kohl's and Amazon. I have a pair now. I wish they made more rounded toe shoes for women with wide feet. I'll share wedding pictures next week. I have moved A JOYFUL BREAK from a previous audiobook company to exclusive on ACX.

I haven't felt great since it but doing okay. My white blood count is still way too low. I do have great news about my recent CT scan - it was good and showed no recurrent lymphoma. Woohoo! I have next CT scan in 6 months and next IV infusion treatment in October. As usual, I was dizzy but this time I start falling but I grabbed a divider shield in front of desk when I checked out. I'm glad I didn't break it. But I got to ride in a wheelchair after this happened to our car. Tom pulled up right away to the door. Such service. :) Something interesting was said to me by the technician while I had the CT scan. I had a mask on so she only saw my forehead and she asked me if I had Indian blood. She mentioned that her mother had Cherokee in her background. Apparently, my forehead reminded her of her mother's. People have asked me in the past if I have Native American blood. I don't know of any. This summer we had our eight-year-old grandson Dillon during the daytime on Tuesday-Friday every other week. Grandpa did a lot of things with Dillon. They went fishing, played cards, checkers and some times they played with the train set in our basement. I enjoyed having him here too. Last week, our other grandson Dean was here one night to sleep in a tent with Dillon in our woods. We sat around the fire pit and had grilled hot dogs and pasta salad. The boys and Grandpa ended up coming to the house to sleep. The next day, I playing hide and seek with the boys and it was a blast. On Thursday, Dillon realized it was his last day of summer to be with us because our son Bart had planned to take Friday off. Usually Dillon would have been here on Friday. He seemed sad and was wondering if he wouldn't see us until the holidays. f I told him we would see him before the holidays! Sara turned 44 last Tuesday and Bart was 36 two weeks ago. I'm sharing pictures from our days of tubing, fishing, and cookout! The summer went by so quickly. 
  Tom and I celebrated our anniversary earlier in the week. Sara and Amanda had a summer respite for 4 days so it was the perfect time for us to get away. We went to Murphin Ridge Inn in Adams County for a couple of nights. The photo was taken by our server at the restaurant where we ate dinner outside. The tables were far apart and there were never many eating at one time. In this rural and Amish area, there are fewer cases of COVID-19. It wasn't our first choice but felt it was the safest place to go. Our cabin was lovely and we received a huge surprise while there. We returned to our cabin after spending time at the pool and we were shocked to see a bucket with champagne, two flutes filled with chocolate kisses, fruit, crackers and cheese plates, chocolate covered strawberries, and a cake. The inn had forgotten to include a card but we learned it was from our daughters, April and Christina. Underneath the goodies was a gas fireplace. We realized that it didn't put out any heat so had it on in the evenings. Very romantic!  |
