Making Memories

As most of you know, we spent a week in Punta Cana at Memories Splash with our children and grandchildren. What a terrific time we had!  The weather was wonderful, the scenery beautiful and the food delicious.  Best of all we enjoyed being with each other and letting the cousins get to know each other.  Jim was able to keep up with most of the activities although his pace was a bit slow and he needed regular rest.  He was relieved to know that he can still play golf.  The guys went out for an afternoon and he can still swing a club.  He also discovered that a deep tissue massage goes a long way to relieving the pain he gets in his lower back. He hopes to make that a regular part of his routine.
His balance is a bit off and walking in the waves did not go so well.  But sitting in a lounge chair at the beach or by the pool works great.
We are wonderfully blessed with a caring family and concerned friends.  Your prayers and comments are much appreciated.
What's next?  In April we will see a naturopath and find out if there's anything we can do to slow down the progress of this disease.  We will continue to praise God for His sustaining power and trust Him for all the days He gives us.

I'm so glad you were able to have that time together as a family. What a blessing. I loved the family pictures too. Absolutely beautiful.

I keep looking at all the family pictures. They all make me smile. I feel the preciousness of the time together. From young to old; everyone seemed to have a good time. I am so glad that Jim was able to participate in the things he enjoys doing. The grand kids will hold this trip as part of their family history together.
