Happy June 1st. Do we realize that in 30 days this year will be half gone??? It’s kind of hard to believe. And so far, 2024 has been a year that has kept us pretty stressed out. I’m hoping most of our drama is pretty well over. That leads me up to an update on Ms. Kate for you. We are very pleased with her progress. I am still changing dressing every day but the “leakage” is very minimal. The dressing is hardly wet after 24 hours of being on. We see an end to the whole thing very soon. All praise to God that this process may be coming to an end. I’ll be the first to admit that I have not been very patient with it and have stressed and stressed over it all. Jesus addressed this kind of behavior on many occasions but —- letting go of a situation is so very hard isn’t it?

Kate’s health is just one of our stress items these days. I told you that my insurance company sent me a good settlement for the damage that we had form the April 1st storm and Kate and I endorsed the check and then had to send it to our mortgage company because they were also an addressee on the check. I needed to send the check to them so they could send me back a check addressed only to me & Kate. Well, it has been a month since I sent them the check and they still have not returned my money to me. They have continual asked for paperwork that I see no reason for them to need. I finally faxed them a 14 page document last week which is the entire USAA file on my case. So, we are still waiting on them to “review it” and send us our money. It is so frustrating. But again —- I need to stop stressing and let God handle it. 

But if that wasn’t enough —- we are leaving for vacation in two weeks and have contracted, and rented a beautiful really large home for all of the family to come in for a family reunion. We learned last week that that company we rented the house from has declared bankruptcy and they lost the place that we were supposed to rent. So, they sent us confirmation for a different home and have delayed our check-in date by one day. And —- it’s in a different city!!!!!! So, I have been dealing with all of this for about ten days now. Granted, if the “new place” actually comes to fruition —- it is a over they top fantastic place; —— but, all we can do is hope that we don’t show up at the door with 17 people and find out it was a scam. So, again —- turning it all over to God is tough!!  

That’s all I got!  Have a blessed weekend. Peace.
