November 2023 Update

Fall is in the air!  And the leaves!  We’ve had some colder weather, and then warmer weather again, then colder again, like God is doing His best to test our tolerance for weather changes.  Here are some pictures of creatures being affected by the colder weather.

This praying mantis was trying to get in our back door

I was cold so I put a blanket on my lap, and then the cat and dog enjoyed it too


Thank you for your continued prayers for my recovery from my prostate cancer.  Since the surgery back in April, I’ve made steady slow progress in getting used to the side affects of losing one’s prostate.  I’m almost done with my physical therapy—I have one more appointment—and then I’ll be on a maintenance schedule of exercises.  So far, all of my post checks with my surgeon have been perfect:  0 PSA, as expected for a man with no prostate.  So, thanks again for your prayers!

 

We had a pretty quiet Halloween.  We usually get just a few kids that come to our house, but this year we only had one person, and Zach said he looked like a 40ish adult in a monster onesie!  Hannah and Kevin hosted a Halloween party a few days before, and that was great.  They had planned lots of games and activities, and it was really fun to see the grandkids and their friends enjoying bobbing for apples, playing ghost face (picking candy corn out of whipped cream with their teeth), and lots of other things.

 

I think that’s all for this month.  I hope you all have a great Thanksgiving, and we’ll talk in December.
