Recovery mode with family

Wow, it's been a busy good time of late...it's kind of a blur for me in fact. Paul got to come home on Thursday afternoon. We got to see Lou, Bryan and kids at the hospital and then at home. They furnished Cafe Rio for dinner. It was nice to see them and we appreciate them feeding us up that way. Next morning Jay, Brynn and Madi, & Moss, Christi and Brenden came to visit. Grandma dropped by too and got to meet Madi. Paul was taking it pretty easy and just enjoying hanging out with everyone. Later we headed over to M & C's for visiting, games, dinner (mmm good) and a movie. Saturday we slept in, got some business and shopping taken care of and then Supe came up with the plan...we should go out to Gunlock, cook dinner, canoe and swim. J & B and M & C came up with the food...we came up with the canoe. Paul didn't lift or carry anything and just enjoyed the beautiful place and fun company. The only thing that could have been better was if the whole gang was there. (We did get to visit via phone with all of you pretty regularly...much appreciated.) The food was great, the canoing fun and the swimming was done by Moss and Supe. Supe did an across the lake and back swim with Jay and Moss on support in the canoe too. He said it was easy...easy for him. We loaded up and headed home at sunset and Paul and I called it a day. M, C, J, B and Supe had another round of the train game and more food. Thanks everyone for spending time with the old parents and brightening what could have been some serious brooding time. Paul is doing really great (took off that uncomfortable groin bandage today) and will start up some rehab early next week. We are taking it easy and enjoying recovery mode. The crew is taking care of things at work and Paul is just doing work by phone for now. He did skip church today, but he and the scouts will be speaking next Sunday. I went and the congregation witnessed a miracle...me at the pulpit bearing my testimony. I told them they shouldn't expect to witness another such miracle for quite a long time.
