We traveled to Julie, Eric and Ruby's house for this week on Saturday. Adele finally agreed to leave early, so we were in the car and traveling at 4:05am. Arrived here after 11 1/4 hours just after 3pm. We did stop for breakfast and lunch and one other time, so it was a great trip. We did get caught in Virginia Tech traffic Sat am around 9.
When we arrived, I switched driving with Adele, and she dropped me off about 1/2 a block away. Since Ruby seems to want to go past her and run to me, this time she was the only one in the car. Again, Ruby went to her and immediately said Pop Pop with her hands up in a "where is he" stance. She is sharp, and finally heard me calling Ruby. She squealed when I got close and lunged from her mom, who was holding her, into my arms. What a wonderful feeling.
I have noticed that she does not like me without glasses. She just stares at me when they are off and then smiles and giggles when I put them on.
Adele and I are cooking more this trip, she is really helping and doing as much as she can with Ruby. We are both exhausted at t`he end of the day, but it is worth every minute that we get to be with Ruby.
Tuesday we visited the house they have a bid on and love the neighborhood. When we were leaving, we came down Walton ?Drive and my memories got going. I stopped when we got to Walton Circle and looked up the Sanner's address. The new house is less than a 1/4 mile from Kim & Steve - what a coincidence! Kim was taking in the trash can, so we got to say Hi and talked about their kids. Wonderful people, miss them in Ephrata.
Tomorrow, the 16th, is Ruby's 2nd birthday, with the party on Sat. People have been texting Julie all week about another friend that would like to see their house and maybe purchase it. Again - a happy and fun filled week. I am very thankful that Adele is well enough to be able to enjoy every day here. I think this is only the second time in three years that she was doing so well, that she could focus on Ruby and not the CANCER.
I say every day - Thank You Lord for all You have done for us today, and all You will do for us tomorrow! I have been adding, "Let us know what we can do for You."
Thanks to all the people that have helped in the past three years, we could not have done this without your support!
