Shocked---in a good sense

The writing says this is Ronald and Dave but I disagree.  I think it is Dad and Janet? or Joan? For the life of me I can not picture this picture.  It is south of our barn as you can see the south end of the barn on the left and our house on the right but a hay stack there???  I don't know why.  Regardless the stack must be hay that was hauled in from the field because our beloved Jayhawk stacker would have made a better stack than that!
In our house we have an add on dormer on the south.  I call it the sun room.  It has red linoleum on the floor.  I have always wanted to know what was beneath the linoleum.  My guess was just boards as the entire house has hardwood floors but this was an add on and then covered.  Yesterday Terry and I ripped off some of the red stuff and WOW--there is hardwood under it.  Yes, way to go Tom Ruth (the former owner).

When Terry and I are here in the summer I get together with a group of men each week in the context of People of Praise.  Last night 5 of us drove to St. Michaels (maybe 30 miles) to spend time with a cousin of one of the men.  John's cousin, Dave, had a terrible accident while cutting down a tree about 5 months ago.  Dave and his wife, Marie, have a small farm and another business on the side.  After the accident Dave spent about 3 weeks in the hospital and then another 10 weeks in a rehab home.  Dave is an A+ personality and I think is in his early 50's.  At this time he is dealing with a broken right ankle which is healing, a broken left femur which has a rod in it, a broken clavicle which was broken but the worst is severe nerve damage in his left side.  Of course he is on meds but the constant pain is still there.  He described it as having a 100 bees stinging you and he said his palm, which is the worst, feels like it is on fire!  We talked for a while, with him and his wife, and then prayed with them.  It was a very good time and I know that God was there in a powerful way.  Terry and I will put Dave on our prayer list and I am sure he and Marie would appreciate any prayers offered their way.  At this time Dave is skeptical of his farming future but of course God can do anything.  To prove my point that Dave is a great guy he has an International M tractor and last fall he and his buddies make 500 pounds of venison sausage!  How great is that?
Our car has a 9:30 doctor appt so must go.  Also, that FP is down to the very last drop.
