We had a great time visiting Mom and Dad in Boone last week! I just can't describe in words to you the beauty of where they live, but those of you who have been there know what I'm talking about. Mom and Dad's house sits on a hill at the end of the prettiest, windy mountain road imaginable. It's scary in the winter when it's covered in snow and ice, no doubt! But at this time of year, the road is shaded by a canopy of trees colored in Crayola-like beauty!
My boys love exploring the woods and fishing at the lake behind the house. The house is itself is cozy and warm, and always smells like something delicious has just been cooked and devoured. It's such a special place, especially for my children who call it nothing but "Mimi's House", no disrespect to Granddad, of course!
Mom's wrist is healing well after her fall and surgery last month. I went with her to the doctor for follow up last week, and he put her in a much more comfortable and removable splint. She still has to take it easy with it, but she told me last night that she had made a big pot of lentil soup for dinner, so she's getting back to cooking! Mom is struggling with her speech and walking, and we continue to ask you all to pray for God to heal her and give her peace through this trial. She and Dad will be here for Thanksgiving, and we can't wait!
