Blessed with a Wonderful Community

Upon returning home, we were met with several  unpleasant issues.  First and most important, Nana (my mom) who lives with us is having issues and set backs.  She is 89 years old, so a natural progression whether or not we are ready for it.  Please send prayers!

Then the host for our Poker for Pluskota tourney, decided they didn't want to host anymore and informed us Monday night.  Team Pluskota member and dear friend made arrangements for a new venue, which is awesome.  Our community never ceases to amazing me in their continued support of Natalie and our family.  We are Blessed with a wonderful community and many true and dear friends!  Thank you!!

And of course I had to get that old painful tooth dealt with first thing on Tuesday.  Seems to be doing much better every day.  Hoping by tomorrow I won't even remember that it had been an issue.  Thank you dentist Laney Smith!

Some great news, my children learned via experience this week.  Life lessons can be hurtful at times, disappointing at times and even frustrating.  But it is truly how we rise above them that make us who we are.  We had to deal with someone that was trying to befriend Natalie because of who she is on the tennis court.  Unfortunately, those "obsessed" types will do or say anything to be in Nat's life.  Not at all pleasant to deal with, but I'm very proud of Natalie, Nic and Edward and how they represented our family in this situation.  For them to be mature enough to recognize the person has "issues" and quietly handle it.....amazing!  Yes, I'm very proud of my children!

Don't forget to come play poker with us or just visit us at the Poker for Pluskota event.  Love and Blessings ....Sherry!
