ok, blogging buddies, I really need your help...

this is my uncle and aunt many years ago when their life together was just beginning...
it the last couple of days...
their world has been turned upside down...
she just got out of the hospital...
COPD and congestive heart failure...
on oxygen...
then he kept falling...
and tests show 4 tumors...
1 in the lung and 3 in his brain...
tomorrow is a busy day of running to drs...
Wednesday is the biopsy of one of the brain tumors...
they are in their 70s...
he is a preacher...
but he is still scared...
unsure of what he will have to go through or how she will be...
who will take care of her if he is gone....
and I am sure many more concerns...
I need your prayers for them for this week...
the stress is going to be high...
they are weak physically from everything last week...
2 weeks ago she buried her brother...
please remember them...

One of the boxes came!

it came!...
my costumes!...
and they were on sale!...
we don't have a Kmart anymore...
they closed all of them down around here..
and I know he's not Johnny...
but it's a pirate...
I got the xl in kids sizes...
they will fit my scare crows!...
I had to get a costume with the big masks to hide the scarecrow heads...
they are going on next week....
and my night gowns!...
stocking up at $4.99...
yippee!...
I love boxes in the mail!...
Doug and Keith came today and scrubbed the green off of the house!
Doug also shampooed the living room rug...
Bebe seemed to forget to go outside...
bad dog...
and I fed them lunch...
then Keith and I talked while Doug napped on the sofa...
Craig came home and ran to the store to get supplies...
sent some home with Doug...
I have 3 hours probably before DH gets home...
I think I need a nap and a shower...
just not sure which order they will happen...
went out in the yard with the guys...
but I didn't take a my camera...
bad me...
so maybe something later...
have a great evening...

I live in a small town...

grain elevator...
busy on a late Sunday afternoon taking in beans...
our grade school...
it also has the junior high classes in it...
the lunch room for all grades...
ag classes in the back...
maple turning on the square...
leaves on the edge of the brick street...
White House cafe with pink roses in front...
they are closed on Sundays...
old tractor on the edge of town...
the rest are field and sky shots as we drove a country block...
the clouds were ever changing as the skies were trying to clear after a very cloudy day...
there are a few beans left here and there...
these clouds were the best ones...
big heavy ones on the bottom...
light fluffy ones above...
it's after 8 am this morning and it's 42 out...
yep, it's fall...
we still haven't had our first frost yet...
but it's surely coming...
we had a really good weekend...
it seemed really short with my DH only off one day...
but that will soon come to pass also...
and another harvest under our belts...
and here we are...
another Monday morning...
and everyone is gone and the quietness is so welcome this morning...
after a weekend of football and cheering from the peanut gallery...
I love my guys...
but one of these days they are going to melt down the TV...
so here I sit...
and the TV...
in a well deserved rest from the chaos of Sunday afternoon football...
I hope you are having a peaceful morning...
