As my previous logs show, I am currently working for my county. It is here in my building where I met the most wonderful man.  He's funny, sympathetic to my needs even before I know some of them. Most importantly he loves Jesus. His name is Tom. Thomas. and sometimes I call him Tommie. :)

 

Tom came into my life just when things with family were difficult. Our first date was in early May. We have been together ever since. He came into my life about the same time as when Grandpa and Grandpa had us all at the hospitals.

 

Grandpa never got better from his strokes. He got worse. When he had another stroke, he was placed in a home. It's called New Horizon Located on hearndon. I liked it. I trusted it. At the same time grandma had pneumonia and was placed in kaiser.  Eventually she went home. Grandpa didn't.

 

the weekend of August 5th, Tommie joined me for a drive to Huntington Lake. It was the week of Family Camp. I was driving the distance for the first time ever. :) And I did it too!!!  I drove the whole way there! Tom encouraged me, but I drove there. It was awesome pulling in to the camp with everyone in the family watching and congratulating me. :)

 

I couldn't wait to go home and tell grandpa I did it. I hadn't been to hospital since Father's day. He being the strongest man I know it was difficult to see him there. 

 

August 5th.  Aunt liz and her family and mom and dad and tom and i were all that was left of 50 people. the others were already gone. mom and dad were staying another week in their new trailer.  and liz and her family were on their way down the mountain.  I was cooking breakfast: eggs, potatoes and bacon in one skillet. The mix.
