Family members in the Houston area say they're appreciating little things. I really hope that everyone can learn that lesson without having to clean up after a hurricane or spend days without electricity. It truly is the little things like family, friends, sunshine or rain, or maybe a cool breeze that can bring joy. Take time to enjoy the little things.
All our children were here today, except Jennifer and we missed her. Jeremy and Rachel spent most of the day. It was nice of Rachel to go to the grocery store with me. Isabella put on a show while Mark slept on the floor again. (He's finally finished hurricane duty and will be resting at home on leave soon! She's talking in complete sentences, and many of them sound like orders. I'm obeying!) It rained all afternoon, but we thoroughly enjoyed the visit.
It was great to see Ron, Larry, and Ray today also. Sorry, I slipped out on you, but we did need the groceries. Hope you got home safely. Again, that's not an easy drive. Same to Ike and Sue who came yesterday. We are grateful and sure blessed to have such caring friends.
The days are a little more unpredictable as Gary is taking breakthrough pain meds a little more often. He still stays comfortable most of the time, but is sleeping more.
Thanks again for the visits, calls, and cards.
Love to all,
Robbi

Hey guys. Hope you are getting some rest after a very busy day. I'm really glad you had so many loved ones around yesterday. Wish we could be there.
Talk to you soon.

Your friends sound wonderful. Wish we we re closer to visit. We are stil without electricity but I saw a truck in our neighborhood that looked like it could fix things!! The kids will go back to school on TUes. even if we have no home power. It has gotten hotter here. Isabella sounds busy!! Our prayers are with you. May God Bless each minute of your days.
Love Keith and Karen
Aunt Robbi you are very correct. It is always the little things that matter the most. Like a good hot shower after 10 days in the field without one. A good Diet Coke at the end of a hot Belizian Day.
Hope things are well with all of you.

10-4 to the little things. Peeling off the body armor after 12ninety degree hours. Getting out of that #$@% crown vic and getting behind the wheel of a civilian car. A bathroom, open and clean at 2:30 in the morning.
Enjoyed our visit this weekend and hope to have another soon. I'm off Tuesday and Wednsday of next week so if you need me call me.
Jer.
