Time to Reflect

Hi everyone - I want to thank everyone for their kind words and thoughts. The prayer service and funeral were packed with people and it was so nice to have people around. Greg is doing better although no one seems to understand yet what really happened. We got the preliminary results back from the autopsy, but it didn't show much. We are waiting on the final results. A "non-heart attack event" whatever that means!!

On Saturday Greg just wanted to get out of Dodge to "our happy place" so we left for the lake about 1:00 - and drove into terrible roads about Hawley. We could not believe the snow at our house!! It was crazy! There was more snow in front of the garage on Sat than there had been all year!! The deck was inpassable - we did go out for supper quick on Sat nite, but then right back home. There were no plows as I'm sure they were waiting for the Sunday Sun to melt things off. We also got to take care of our "grandpuppy" Briggs for the weekend. Jenn and Mike went to the cities. He is soooo cute as you can see and he and Riley are getting along better. Andrew and Meagan came home Sunday nite from Florida to their impassable driveway! By all reports though they had a great time, but were really sorry to miss the funeral. Couldn't be avoided. We are now looking forward to the Anderson wedding on Saturday. Will be great to get together for a happy occasion for a change!! Have a good week everyone and we will see you all soon.

Are we dreaming?

As you all probably know by now, Greg's brother Brian passed away on Saturday night and we are all reeling. As we sat across the table yesterday morning, trying to make plans just 11 months after Cecil died, the feelings of "why Brian, why us, what the hell is happening" were overwhelming. The shock of someone so young dying is unbelievable. Please keep us all in your prayers as we get thru this week - especially Sue. She is a wreck - she doesn't know where to turn next. They were together as a couple for almost 20 years. And we haven't seen BJ yet, but I'm sure that is going to be awful! I am so thankful that Brian and Greg worked together last year and a little this year farming - their relationship survived that test and actually improved alot! Taking a page from Meagan - live every day to the fullest - tell people who are important to you that you love them every day - and enjoy every moment you are given on this earth. We never know what day might be the last. Love to all of you, Becky

What the heck happened?!?!?

Ok - Friday 56 degrees - Saturday, cleaning out the garage at the lake in our shortsleeve shirts (so we can get is sheetrocked) and Saturday nite the sky started falling?? Good God - we went for supper with Andrew and Meagan and at 9:00 it started raining, by 10PM the flakes were so big I couldn't see the road!! Woke us Sunday morning to what looked like a foot of snow! Jeez - I was ready to put my new spring flower display out on the deck with my new cool yellow chairs and this happens! Gotta love ND/MN!! Anyway, the supper was great - we went to Spankys on Rose Lake and had a great meal - the kids had never been there before so they were impressed. It was a nice evening. Other than that the weekend was pretty quiet - I started a new book, we watched a couple movies, and Greg watched the race. We wanted to have supper with Jenn and Mike in Dilworth, but the snow stopped us from going home Sunday nite. We left the house at 6:15 Monday morning and I finally made it to Harwood about 8:10! Whew! I know why I don't like to drive that during the winter. Summer fine - great trip - but not on icy-rutted roads! I got to wear jeans to work though since I wasn't planning on staying Sunday nite. Not complaining though - I never want to leave the lake so one more nite was just fine with me!! Have a great week everyone - will post again soon!
