Spring is finally arriving in our area. It's time to adjust my routine to include taking the dogs for their walks, something I haven't done for some time due to the weather. But, thankfully, it appears to be a general warming trend and that means walking daily again.
I received my Christmas gift from Mark yesterday. I've been driving by it for months now, but it was actually delivered and is part of our yard now. It's called October Glory and it's planted out in the front yard. I've always enjoyed seeing beautiful orange maple trees in the fall, but never had one in our yard, so that was the one thing I could think of for a perfect Christmas gift. I look forward to seeing it become green and leafy along with all the other trees that surround us here.
We said goodbye to a dear friend where I volunteer in Georgetown. Mr. Mac had owned a grocery store in town and when he retired, he began to help at the Amen House stocking the shelves of the food bank and running errands, shopping and doing anything that needed to be done. We knew he hadn't been well for sometime, but he continued coming in and doing his job, always whistling and staying upbeat. After two or three weeks of being unable to come in, he succumbed to his health issues and passed away quietly at the VA Hospital in Lexington last week. We will miss him terribly, and will try our best to accomplish all those things that he did for the house and it's clients.
Mr. Mac's son is going to donate a wonderful picture of his dad, that was on display at his visitation, to the Amen House. We will have a reminder of this special man, and hopefully, continue to feel his presence, as well as his love and devotion to his fellow man. We were so blessed to be able to work side by side with him and hope to continue to bless others with his spirit of generosity. We also look forward to seeing him in heaven some day.
Well, if I am going to get our walks in and start some spring cleaning, I better get started. Have a wonderful and safe day, luv, Susan
