Hello Tree Swing. Another item off my list for the 2012 Summertime Photography Scavenger Hunt. Remember, the last day of summer is Sept. 21, and that marks the official end of the Scavenger Hunt.
Hello High School! Today is the first day of school. Clara is a Freshman, and Henry is a Senior.
Hello Husband? Paul has been in the hospital for over a week battling a really dangerous infection. He seems to have turned the corner, and we hope to have him back home in just a few days.
Hello to accepting help from loving friends. A group of my girl friends have started to bring meals over once a week. And my sister-in-law came up to see Paul and to lend me a hand for a few days. My dear friend Rebecca brought over sandwiches from our favorite deli. I don't know what I would do without the help and support.
Hello prayers for a brighter future for us all.
Please say 'hello' to Paul from me...isn't it wonderful to have good friends?

Glad that Paul has turned a corner with this latest battle. Friends in times of need are invaluable.
ReplyDeleteWould love to be close enough to help out with the meals and the rest..
ReplyDeleteHello to a brighter week this week, then? x
I do hope that Paul will get home this week....and,like Sian, wish I was close enough to be of help to you....there's nothing like good friends.
ReplyDeleteGood luck to the kids in their first days back at school.
Oh yes, I am with Sian - I'd love to be able to pop over with a meal for you right now, but, I am glad that others are there to help and support.
ReplyDeleteI look forward to hearing that Paul is home later in the week.x
The most I can do is send healing thoughts to all of you and a few hug cyber hugs for those moments when...
ReplyDeleteWhat a gorgeous big old tree that swing is hanging from! Hope Paul continues to improve and I'm glad you have such good friends nearby.
ReplyDeleteHello Rinda! I hope things get better for Paul. And good friends are irreplaceable!
ReplyDeleteHope the kids enjoy being back in school. I know you will be happy when Paul gets back home. Nice photo of the swing.
ReplyDeleteLooks like your tree swing has been around for a while - i wonder what stories it could tell.
ReplyDeleteWishing you a brighter week this weekx
Oh Rinda, I hope Paul gets better soon. Sending (((hugs))) from the UK.
ReplyDeleteSending good thoughts.. i am far-ish away, but if there is anything i can do, let me know...

What a fantastic swing photo for the scavenger hunt- I'm still searching for one of those.
ReplyDeletePraying that Paul is better soon & both teens have a fantastic first week of high school!
Hoping that Paul will be better very soon - an anxious time for you all ... your swing photo is perfect!
ReplyDeleteHow wonderful to have the support and help - and hoping Paul has kicked that infection and is home PDQ. Good luck for the first day of school.
ReplyDeleteHello, dear friend. I am sorry to hear that Paul has been sick this past week, but so very happy to hear that you are getting help from your friends! Having your hubby in the hospital means you are pulled in another direction and I know how difficult that can be to maintain some sort of normalcy around your home.
ReplyDeleteIf I lived closer you can bet I'd be swinging by with a plate of something - I might even be inclined to share the pesto I'm going to make with your recipe! ;o)
Hang in there, Rinda. {{{hugs}}}
Glad to hear that Paulmgas turned the corner - hope he is soon back home with you. So pleased that you have such kind friends to support you xx
ReplyDeleteLove the photograph of that majestic tree! So sorry to hear that Paul has been so sick, but glad things are improving! You must have been besides yourself with worry! It is very nice when people do what they can to help out! Sending you and yours good throughts and healing prayers!
ReplyDeleteI hope Paul is coming home soon & school goes well for the kids!
ReplyDeleteI hope Paul is soon better. I wish your children a good start to the new school year, I go back next Monday after a good break and re-charge of batteries. I have yet to find a tree swing, I think it will be the last item to find! Yours is superb!
ReplyDeletewhat a cool tree swing - so rustic, as if the board was from the tree itself. we are starting our fourth week of school here - summer is just a memory. best wishes to paul for a speedy recovery so he can be back home.
ReplyDeleteI am so envious of your tree swing, I could cheat and put in the photo I have on me on one taken in 2003 but that's going a step too far lol
ReplyDeleteDear cuz wish I leaved near to help you somehow. Praying that Paul come home soon.
ReplyDeleteThat is an absolutely perfect swing!
ReplyDeletea really lovely photo!

I'm catching up with blogs tonight, and was so sorry to hear that Paul is back in the hospital. I think of you every day and will increase my prayers and good thoughts headed your way! Take care of yourself. (Your two kids are so grown-up and good looking! Glad to hear Clara is recovering.) What a summer you've had!
ReplyDeleteSo glad that you have people making meals for you! Been thinking of Paul and the medical matters.
