Hello Monday {6}

Hello Monday . . . a meme started by Lisa Leonard.
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.

Glad that Paul has turned a corner with this latest battle. Friends in times of need are invaluable.

Would love to be close enough to help out with the meals and the rest..

Hello 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.
Good luck to the kids in their first days back at school.

Amy said...

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.
I 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...

Cheri said...

What 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.

Hello Rinda! I hope things get better for Paul. And good friends are irreplaceable!

Elizabeth said...

Hope the kids enjoy being back in school. I know you will be happy when Paul gets back home. Nice photo of the swing.

Lou said...

Looks like your tree swing has been around for a while - i wonder what stories it could tell.

Wishing you a brighter week this weekx

Linda said...

What a fantastic swing photo for the scavenger hunt- I'm still searching for one of those.

Praying that Paul is better soon & both teens have a fantastic first week of high school!

How 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.

Hello, 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.

If 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}}}

I 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!

laurie said...

what 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.

Mary B said...

I 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

Irene said...

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!

So glad that you have people making meals for you! Been thinking of Paul and the medical matters.
