::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::: Tuesday, 1-1-08 The telephone rang to welcome the New Year in, on a three-way call from Sylvia in Colombia, South America, and Sean, in Massachusetts. . What an interesting way to tiptoe into the new year, sharing warm appreciations, simultaneously, from three different global locations! . Very, very touching and moving. It was muuuuuuuuuchisimo to talk with you, Angels! . Bob and KAThy went to Madison, WI, to JOY'n into a celebration, to welcome the New Year in. This was at Catherine Bloomer's house. We saw many fabulous friends there, including Catherine, Duncan, Bob E., Julia, Dolly, Lois, John, Rafe, Jeannine, Doris, Pat, Gary, Carrie, Jerry, and more. It is always fantastic to see so many smiling faces, to come together with in one place. . It was inspiring to talk with all of them, and have fun, seeing and experiencing in this community of Love. . Then, we went on over to Middleton to Mary and Don's, to talk with eight of their friends from the Holy Wisdom Monastery. Again, we made more friends, and invited them to our growing extended family. Wow, we are soooooo eternally blessed. . It was a very touch8ng and humorous interaction between the 12 of us. . After the other friends left Don and Mary's house, we talked with them until the wee hours about what embraces our hearts, to see the purpose of what is the meaning of BEing refreshed in the newness of letting our hearts sing. It was very abundant, for us all to talk about whatever came to heart! Thank you, Holy Spirit! , We were especially touched, by Don's eloquent and meaningful sharings of "spiritual awe," as well as Mary's dedication to live a spiritual life of service. . :::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::: Wednesday, 1-2-08 . Mary gracefully prepared a fresh breakfast for us, which we really appreciated. . Then, we talked with Mary for a few hours about living from the deep voice that guides us all, from within. . It was very profound. . We went by Deb, Paul and Autumn's, and visited with them for a while. It was great to see them, and see how they were doing. . They had a great trip to Pittsburgh, and were sharing with us about that, and all of the miracles that they've been experiencing recently. . We got ready, and went over to the DMV, to register our new Saturn. . We got home, to nestle in and relax for the evening. . Thank you God, for all of the blessed joys. We are verrrrrrrrrry grateful! :::::::::::::::::::::::::: Thursday, 1-3-08 It is a fabulous day to rest and embrace the miracles of all that is, NOW! . We awakened to the joy of BEing peacefully surrounded with the snow caps once again. It's like feeling the pristine innoncence, all around. . A call came early from Bob's mother, Helen asking: "Kathy, where are you guys? To which I said: "We're home". Helen said, Victor is here to play cards, where's Bob?" I gave the phone to Bob, and she said the same thing to him, to which he said that this was the first time that he had heard about the game with the trio of eighty year old angels. So Bob said: I'll be there soon, Mom....... . Off he went in our new Saturn mobile, and Kathy Light stayed home, to rest and BE Joyfully filled with peace! . Bob returned in the evening, and he and Kat rolled out of the Bumpity Road, to meet Angels Bettina and Joel, at the Country Life Restaurant. . At the Country Life Restaurant, we were welcomed by Sylvia. She was deLIGHTful, to talk with. . Joel and Bettina arrived soon, and we moved over, to sit by the wood burning fireplace. Wow, it was fabulous, to be warmed and welcomed Home, to this place of peace. . The dinner that we had was delicious, and how fantastic it was, to visit with these two power filled lights. . They just returned from Berlin, Germany, to spend Christmas with Bettina's family. This is the first time that she'd been home, for seven years. They were very glad, to have gone there. . During the meal, Sylvia, our waitress and part-owner, came over, and we visited with her a lot, also. Thank you sooo very much! . Then, we came back to the Bumpity Road, to snuggle into our bed of warmth. Thank you, God. ::::::::::::::::::::::::::: Friday, 1-4-08 This morning, we were up and embracing the miracles, once again. Thank you God. . We talked with Mary and Robert, at Pathways of Light, and it was great to JOY'n with these blessed and dear friends. They shared with us about the many miracles happening with the ministry that they share with everyONE, all over the world! Thank you, Angels! . We looked at Craig's List once again, for any other vehicles that were for sale. It was fun to be home, and not feel like we have to go anywhere. . We talked with Daybree, about Kathy's trip to Florida on Wednesday, and it was great to hear the sweet voice of this Angel. . We also laughed and talked with Marcine, in Chicago, IL. It is always fun to laugh with her. . We decided to take a nap, and rest in the nest, of the Bumpity Road. . We awakened to the aroma of a roast, in the wood stove, so went down to a feast of Love. . Thank you God, for all of the blessings! :::::::::::::::::::::::::::::: Saturday, 1-5-07 We enJOYed watching birds, to see many of our winged friends, who are constant reminders of living with a free Spirit. . Kathy did laundry, and some cleaning of the nest of Love. . Bob went out to bring wood in, and said that it was very cold outside. . Bob asked KAThy to see what they're serving at a restaurant in town..... . It is prime rib and seafood night. Sooooo, we decided to go on a date, for supper. . We went in, and visited with Bob's mom, Helen. She said that she'd been staying close to home, and was snuggled up, in her new robe. . Then, we headed for Bud's Pizza. . They had lots of food on the buffet, including fried chicken, fish, prime rib, salad, mixed vegetables, and potatoes. . We feasted on a combination of all of those foods, and went away very satisfied and FULL of treats, and love. . We came home, and rested, on a cold Winter's night, with hearts of Love, Gratitude and Peace. . Thank you God! ::::::::::::::::::::::::::::: Sunday, 1-6-07 Bob went out to shovel snow off of the entrance way. Thank you Bob, for your willingness to be helpful and serve. . Kathy joyfully cleaned and did more laundry. This is always a symbolic opportunity to clean one's mind to BE helpful, and this is why Kathy enJOYs it. . At one point Bob asked me, "Do you really like doing the laundry?" To this, I said yes, for this reason, because it clears the way for me to embrace the beauty within my mind. . Bob brought wood in, to ready us for the week ahead, to warm Bumpity, in this nest of peace. . Thank you Love! ::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::: Monday, 1-7-2008 ::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::: We decided to go into town, and run a few errands. . When we pranced in to Portage, Bob asked Kathy if she wanted to go to lunch, and have the buffet again, at Bud's Pizza . So, we did, and that was a nice treat to share. . Piles of smashed potatoes and finger lickin' chicken. . And a pond of gravy. . And all those pizzas, dancing, side by side, begging us to let them smother our plates. . Yes, we did (or at least Bob did), wear a path in the rug, during his numerous voyages of discovery to the goodies . Then, we rolled away and did a few things rolling around town, and came to Bob's mom's, Helen, where she and Bob played a game of Sheepshead (where they took turns throwing the head of a sheep, back and forth). It was a nice break for all of us, but not for the sheep, and a chance to visit with Helen. (Just kidding about the sheep, we were playing a card game.) :-) . We came home and did a few things, Bob working on the ice and snow on our patio entry way, when Kathy decided to go pack, for her trip to Florida, to see her dad, Randy, who is getting his strength back after chemo-therapy. . It took a while to organize and put everything together to take on the trip. . While Kathy did that, Bob rested, and watched movies, which were interesting. . Kathy rounded things up, and is now ending the day, by writing greetings to all of you, before going to bed, and will soon be setting off on a journey to Largo, Florida. . It will be great to visit with dad and our friends in Florida, and I'll be sending messages to all of you via phone calls with Bob. Bob has decided to stay here at Bumpity again, as he likes to be on the homestead, to Open The Door, for whomever may arrive. . Thank you Angels, for embracing us, in Love! . Now, I'm off to rest, before hearing the Angel Rooster awaken us, to Joy. . Love you! . ::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::: Tuesday, 1-8-08 Off to Madison and the Veterans' Administration Hospital where they did a thorough mapping of Bob's heart with a Cardiac Echo, as a follow-up to Bob's recent EKG, the intent to measure and see if their has been a continued thickening of Bob's heart muscles, because of (previously untreated), rapid heart beat. . Then, off to Catherine's for a delightful lunch of home made soup, then Kathy took a nap in the guest bedroom, while Bob fell asleep on the sofa in front of the fire. . Upon rising, we were greeted with a delicious supper of rices and stews and cheeses and fruits and beverages. . Then, off to Julia's to attend an "energy" workshop and discussion, led by Sharon. We both participated, and had numerous individual discussions as well, before and after the discussion, and during a break. . It was an inspirational unfolding and also turned out to be difficult getting out of intesting goodbye chats, and out the door! . What a delightful group of 15 we were! . How we love the sitting in a circle format, with so much direct eye contact! . Then back to Cathrine's to chat and snack and allow Bob to get into the leftovers. . Then the two owlets fluttered off to bed whle Bob kept a date with Jane Eyre on public television. :-) . :::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::: Wednesday, 1-9-08 Catherine had fixed a scrumptious breakfast with and egg casserole, fruits, cheeses, breads, beverages, etc. . What a thoroughly enjoyable and generous host she is! . Kathy left the Madison Dane County Airport about mid-day, calling Bob during her plane change in Chicago, and again after being picked up by her dad in Tampa, Florida. . Wow! Look at that! A whole day covered in just 3 sentences! . ::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::: Thursday, 1-10-08 Bob up to the steel barn with his wheelbarrow to bring another load of firewood down before the snow begins falling today! . Both cars parked up by the barn, which makes them 400 feet closer to the highway in case Bob gets heavily snowed in (which he is hopng for!) . All the ongoing daily chores of compost, cats, cleaning, cooking, eating, sorting, organizing, etc. . The white winter wonderland had pretty much disappeared around Bumpity Road, but it began falling again as Bob walked back from the pole barn. . I expect to wake up to a Pristine White, Winter Wonderland, in the morning. :-) . ::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::: Friday, 1-11-08 . Yup! . Sure enough! . A Wonderfully White Winter Wonderland! . Reminds me of my buddy, Joe, who lived here for 4 years. . When Joe's car was deeply drifted in, with several feet of snow around it, I asked him, after several days, if he was going to shovel it out. . Joe replied that it wasn't necessary to shovel, because the snow would melt by spring. :-) . It such a great experience to be snuggled in and warm, and look out the windows outdside to all that "cool beauty." . ::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::: Saturday and Sunday January 12 &13, 2007. . A peaceful retreat. . Two days of watching the fresh fallen blankets of snow. . So restful. . And now, the snow is falling, yet again. . Peacefully blanketing the blankets. . Suddenly I feel sleepy.... :-) . :::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::: Monday, 1-14-08 :::::::::::::::::::::::::: A snowy morning with slippery, icy roads, as Bob headed for his doctor's appointment at th Hospital in Madison. . The redness, itchiness, and soreness in Bob's eyes (for over six weeks now) has not responded to eyewashes and anti-bacterial eye drops, so Bob will be taking several anti-allergy medications to see if that helps. . Then a direct trip home to get home before dark, as Bob's night vision is impaired because of beginning cataracts in both eyes, and also, because winter road conditions near home, were not good. . After the slippery driving it really felt good to get home and snuggle in. . Kathy's mom, Newell, has informed Kathy that she, Newell, has liver cancer and that the doctor suggested she, Newell, may have six months to live. . Kathy spent a recent 3 weeks with her mom, during which time her mom fell, broke a thigh bone, and was med-flighted to Louiville, Kentucky, for surgery. . Her dad, Randy, is getting his strength back after radiation and is currently undergoing chemo-therapy. . So, lots of challenges for each of Kathy's parents, with their angel daughter, spending time with them, helping in whatever way she can. . ::::::::::::::::::::::::::: Tuesday, 1-15-08 :::::::::::::::::::::::::: Kathy's mom is being transferred to a major hospital in Knoxville, Tennessee, so Kathy and her dad plan on leaving the Tampa, Florida area, early tomorrow morning to drive up to Knoxville and be with her. . Bob worked in the house, at the word processor (like now!), and kept the kitchen home fire burning. . Several trips to the barn were necessary to park away from the house (to facilitate snow plowing, etc.), and wheelbarrow more wood down to the house from the barn. . Kathy called, late in the evening, to update her early morning plans to drive with her dad to the hospital in Knoxville, Tennessee. . Her brother, Clay, on a bus from Louisville, Kentucky, will be meeting them in Tennessee, to be with their mom. . ::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::: Wednesday, 1-16-08 ::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::: This morning, two hours driving out of Tampa, Florida, Kathy and her dad had car problems, which resulted in their car being towed, and eventually, their driving back to Tampa. . Kathy described it as an exercise in acceptance, of being at peace, of doing what could be done, to help matters, and following the "Guidance." . The snowfall, today, here at Bumpity Road was gorgeous! . Several inches fell, making about a foot or so, that is still on the ground, which is what we had earlier this month, but then it all melted! . Our temperatures are hitting zero and below, during the daytime! . Probably going to -10 or so tonight, and lower in the next few days! . Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh! . The joys of being a year long Wisconsinite! . And I haven't plowed out the driveway, because, more snow is predicted over the next few days. . Makes me feel kind of "snowbound," and I love it! . :::::::::::::::::::::::::::: Thursday, 1-17-08 :::::::::::::::::::::::::::: Awoke to a beauuuuuuuuutiful snowfall! . I am treasuring this time in the house to do things that I never think of doing when the gardens are growing. . Daily chores are always there, feed the cats, burn the trash, shovel snow, dump the compost, get the mail, cook, eat, keep feeding the wood stove in the kitchen, etc. (I usually set the timer on a microwave, to remind me, when to put more wood in.) . Kathy and her dad rented a car in Florida this morning and called me as they were approaching Atlanta, Georigia, on their way to Chatanooga, Tennessee, to spend the night with her dad's sister, Katherine, whom Kathy was named after. . I spoke with Kathy's mom, Newell, today, and she has had several tests and procedures, and treatments done, and will know more, probably by Monday. . ::::::::::::::::::::::: Friday, 1-18-08 ::::::::::::::::::::::: I spoke to Newell again, and Kathy called me later, from the hospital. . One of the options mentioned is a Hospice Program. . I spent more time in the Sunrise Room today, enjoying the beautiful snowscapes, stretching out in three directions! . Was outside doing my chores, and had to take a break and come back in to get my nose thawed out! . And then, back out again to finish up. . What a beautiful time of year! . Landscapes of vanilla icecream, as far as the eye can see! . With all this natural beauty, sprawling outside every window, it sure makes winter enjoyable! . Golly! . Sure do have a biiiiiiiiiiiiig yearning...... for icecream. :-) . (And, an Icecream Angel, to eat it with!) :-) . ::::::::::::::::::::::::::: Saturday, 1-19-08 ::::::::::::::::::::::::::: Sheriff Bob received a smoke signal from Mom's O.K. Corral, about a card-slingin' shootout, so the silver-haired Lone Ranger saddled up, and mosied across the plains, and through the woods, to Grandma's House, to greet the toothy old wolf, who was enjoyin' her second favorite activity, namely eatin'. . Bob picked up Aunt Eva, and with sister Rose, we four "drawed up our cards" and began slingin' cards at each other. . Mom and Eva were the straightest shooters of the day, (usually it's Sister Rose or Sheriff Bob). . Temperature was 8 below zero, around noon today, and has been steadily dropping since the sun went down, heading for -15, or lower, tonight. . Kathy called from the hospital in Knoxville, Tennessee, tonight, so I had a chance to chat with her again, and with her mom, Newell. . Kathy and her dad will be leaving in a few minutes to begin chugging along on their first leg of the journey home, back to Chatenooga Choo Choo, Tennessee, tonight, where they will stay with her dad's sister, overnight, and then, tomorrow morning, begin the long haul of choo-choo-choo-ing all the way back south to the Gulf of Mexico and the Tampa, Florida area. . The cold outside right now is very dangerous and it would not take too much exposure to frostbite ones nose or ears, or fingers and toes. . Gassing the car on my way home, even with heavy gloves, resulted in some cold and painful hands, before the tank was filled. . Most roads have ice on them, so it took a while to drive slowly home, because it was not the kind of weather that you wanted to slide off the road with, and cuddle up with in a ditch. :-) . We all had fun at the card-playing shoot-out, and all parted in good spirits, with Rose drivin' The Mother Superior (Eva), home. ::::::::::::::::::::::::: Sunday, 1-20-08 ::::::::::::::::::::::::: Bob was up till the wee hours last night and his last outside reading of the thermo meter was -20 degrees, which makes it the coldest night of the winter (so far)! . Kathy and her dad left Kathy's aunt in Chatenooga Choo Choo, Tennessee, around noon today, expecting to arrive in Largo, Florida on the gulf coast. . The day warmed up to about zero, which really was, noticeably much warmer! . Bob worked inside the house re-organiizing shelf, cabinets, and sorting and discarding non-used, or seldom used items in the kitchen area, etc. . Weekend (less expensive), baseboard, electrical heat, kept the cool side of the kitchen at a comfy 68 degrees. . The past few days have also been a flurry of very nice phone, and/or, e-mail chats with baby sister Rita, Happy Woman, Sean, Mom, Laurie, Barb T., Sylvia, and Charles B. . Also, while doing dishes, my mind wandered, so I have been working for a few days on a new song: There Is An Awesome Open Door........ . KatKat called at 11:37 p.m., Kathy and her Dad, Randy, having just arrived at her dad's place in Largo, Florida. . And so the week ends, with a phone call from the visiting angel in Florida. :-) . ::::::::::::::::::::::::: Monday, 1-22-08 ::::::::::::::::::::::::: Kathy called several times today from the Tampa, Florida area, to let me know that she was frolicking in the sun and going to a seafood restaurant for supper, with her dad, and our friend Jonathan. . Bob had a long hard day of making four different trips outside to get things done, such as shoveling snow near both the barn and the house, getting the big tractor started, plowing the driveway, wheelbarrowing several loads of wood from the barn to the house, etc. . Even with winter gloves and insulated boots, the cold did get through to my toes and fingers, requiring the trips inside to warm up. . The last trip out, at sunset, was much colder, as I felt the frozen bite ot the "winter dogs" nipping at my nose. :-) . Coming in often, to get warmed up again, from this kind of cold, is a good way to stay out of trouble. . Both wood stoves were going all day, as Bob did some cleaning and re-organizing of the Sunrise Room, including moving 9 big pots of our tomatoes, kale, chives, garlic, etc., into the kitchen area. . Enough wood is now in the house to feed both stoves for most of this week. . Had a good chat with Mom Helen, while eating, and watching the snow come down. . Cardinals and juncoes were enthusiastic at their feeder, even after sunset! . I enjoy turning the outside lights on, getting into a soft recliner, and watching the snow go streaking past the windows, like a galaxy of stars speeding by! ::::::::::::::::::::::::::: Tuesday, 1-22-08 ::::::::::::::::::::::::::: More white blankets on the ground, so back outside, several times, to shovel, crank up the big tractor, and then plow the driveway again. . Finally found both of the Saturn cars up by the barn, by finding a cup of "bumps" in the "snowscape." :-) . Every time it snows, I plow out the half of the mini-parking lot by the barn, where the cars are not parked, then I unbury the cars, and move them to the freshly plowed off half. . Brought more wood down to the house in a heaped up wheelbarrow, which is another reminder that it would really be nice to have a woodshed attached to the house. :-) . My fingers got pretty cold on the first outing, so I put on much heavier winter gloves, then, second time out, the fingers did great, but I sure noticed the toes getting frigid. :-) . It feels soooooooooooooo good, to come into the house! . Supper was a delicious combination of sprouts on red baked potatoes, really, really, yummy! . ::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::: Wednesday, 1-23-08 ::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::: Angel Kathy flew into the Madison, Wisconsin airport this afternoon and we arrived home after dark. . KAThy was up early this morning, and chauffered to the airport by her father, Randy, and his longtime friend, Louise, to get on the flight from Tampa, Florida, and back to Wisconsin. Thank you God, for the Angels that they are, and the wings that the plane provided. . Wow, it was great to come Home, and see the Angel Roberto waiting at the airport door, with our new, for us, (1998, 65,000 miles), "Saturn of light, burgandy mobile", to head back to the Bumpity Road in. . The plowed out driveway with its banks of snow was a welcoming sight. . The two wood stoves had kept the house warm, so we baked potatoes thawed out some of our home grown green pole beans, and sat in front of the open door of the stove in the Sunrise Room for our supper. . We love watching the flames, and, feeling the tremendous heat that is thrown out of the stove's open door. . A few phone calls and e-mails, and by midnight, with a -15 for temperature, we night owls fluttered off to snuggle in our nest. . It is great, to be home, and nestled into the warm coals of love. Mmmmmm, we love the warmth of heart, wherever it guides us. Thank you God! . :::::::::::::::::::::::::::: Thursday: 1-24-08 :::::::::::::::::::::::::::: Bob and Kathy went into Portage to go to Walmart, to have a tire checked, and run some errands. . We found our friend Mary Kay, and visited with her at WalMart. It is always such a joy, to see her. . We stopped at Bob's mother, Helen's house, to visit with her, before heading back home. . When we got home, Kathy talked with Laurie, to share a Pathways of Light course of How to Be Loving, How to Be Loved. This is always a powerful experience, to see the Love within. Thank you Angel, Laurie. . Whenever I talk with Laurie, Bob usually says that it is sooooo great, to hear our shared laughter, together. . Thank you for the honor to serve God, in this way. I am grateful! :::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::: Friday, January 25, 2008 :::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::: We were up and welcoming the mornin' when Aunt Eva called to say that Victor would be picking her up for the game, to play cards. . So, Bob and Kathy enJOYed a morning, to say YES to the blessing of a snow capped day in the country land, of Wisconsin. . Bob went off to his Mom, Helen's, to meet Helen, his sister Rose, Victor, and Aunt Eva, for the card round up, after eating small pizza treats with Kathy. . Kathy was doing things around Bumpity Road when the phone rang, with a call from Laurie I. She was ready to share one of the classes in the Pathways of Light minister's training entitled: 203: Introduction to A Course in Miracles. . Kathy enJOYs this experience sooooo much, because it gives an opportunity to see the beauty of living from the place of fun and laughter. It reminds her that anytime anything seems to be so important, all one needs to do is ask if it truly makes them happy, and they see that sometimes whatever is happening makes them joy filled, and sometimes not. The key is to be able to laugh about it, whatever the outcome is. . This is when peace is truly found. . Bob returned from playing cards, in the white dove, 1991 Saturn. . Then, a friend called to share about something on their mind, and embrace the Christ light, of who they truly are. . Kathy offered to talk with them for a while, and do an Accessing Inner Wisdom counseling, which is always a blessing. . While Kathy was on the phone, Bob got a call from another friend, who was wanting to talk about some things, so he was sharing, on the other phone. . Thank you God, Holy Spirit was guiding us, to share our divine function, of communication, as messengers of Love. . ::::::::::::::::::::::: Saturday 1-26-08 ::::::::::::::::::::::: Linda and Daryel came to meet with us about facilitating for their wedding, on June 21, 2008. . It was a power filled experience to share with them about how they met, and have continued to grow together, as One. This was a blessed meeting, for three hours. . We both took lots of notes which will be read again and again as we write a customized wedding ceremony for them. . Afterwards, around noon, we got packed the burgandy Saturn, and headed toward Pathways of Light. . When we got to the eastern Wisconsin area, we went to the Beechville Cheese Factory, which had closed, ten mintes earlier at 4 p.m., so went on to another in Gibbsville, which was still open, purchasing 23 pounds of mild cheddar, on sale for $2 per pound! . So, we got 20 bundles of Wisconsin cheese to eat at Bumpity Road, and share with all of you who come home to BE with us here, whenever you are guided. . We called our travel club hosts, Judy and Ed, and headed toward their house. When we arrived, they had just returned home. . We came in and relaxed with them. It was a Onederful opportunity to come home, to see our new family. . We had a marvelous experience, to talk with them about our lives, and for them to share with us, very fully. . Not only were they fun and interesting to be with, but very stimulating and inspirational. . We shared a pizza and talked until 11 pm, then went off to bed, in their very warm home, which was very cozy. :::::::::::::::::::::::: Sunday 1-27-08 :::::::::::::::::::::::: We were up early, to be welcomed to share a delicious breakfast with Ed and Judy. . They had an egg delight, filled with vegetables and other goodies, which was very delicious, our pecan sweet rolls, from the bakery (run by the Amish, near our home), a delicious fresh fruit mixture, and orange juice, coffee, and tea. . It was difficult to leave this warm and caring couple. . They were verrrrrrrrry perfect, and we would even say, angelic hosts! . We went on to Pathways of Light, for the Sunday service. . Mary and Robert S. welcomed us at their home there. We came in, and they showed us what they have been doing, with getting the house ready for the sale of their center, as they have been spiritually guided to move Pathways of Light to the east coast of Florida, one reason being, to do more work with the increasing number of Spanish speaking, who are doing A Course in Miracles Coursework, through Pathways of Light Facilitators. . They are now showing the buildings and property which will probably be sold by auction, in three separte parcels, this summer, in July of 2008 . They are looking at clearing things out, to give a clarity of purpose and mind. It was fabulous to talk with them, and be in the purpose of sharing love, in the family spirit. . Thus, our Saturn, back seat and trunk, was packed with selected goodies from Pathways. . Laurie I. and Marilyn K. came for the Sunday service also. It was great, to see both of them, two angels who intuitively share from their hearts, always moving both of us with their messages of love. . Everyone was a bundle of joy, and it was great to share them, in the community spirit. . We opened the Service to Holy Spirit, and everyONE shared very Openly in their expression of love. . We went to the Millhome Restaurant with Robert, Mary, and Laurie. It was great, to share this with them. . The Champagne Brunch was aaaaaaaawesome! . Robert and Mary are very excited about their guidance to move Pathways of Light to Florida, and it was great to talk with them about it. . They are a Onederful example of following Holy Spirit's guidance. . Laurie was beaming with Love, and it was great to hug and kiss her, about JOY'ning in Peace. Thank you, Angel! . We came back to Pathways of Light, where we had a chance to chat with Ken T. and his wife Chiu-ling, (from China), and visited with Mary and Robert more. . Then, headed home, to for the two hour drive to Bumpity Road. . We got home, and unloaded the Angel Dove mobile, and it is great to be home, once again. Thank you Holy Spirit, for a power filled and fabulous opportunity, to JOY'n with friends, and family. . What a Wonderful Week, of awesome Mother Nature, and Inspiring Angels! (Which includes you, the reader!) :-) . ::::::::::::::::::::::: Monday, 1-28-08 ::::::::::::::::::::::: . An early to rise day, of routine chores, inside and outside, with Bob clumping back inside to warm up, every so often. . Verrrrrrrrrrrrry unusual...... . .......that, "early to rise," part. . We heard from a dozen friends in Illinois, Mass., Florida, Arizona, Mexico, and a handful of Wisconsinites. :-) . A warm, thawing day, that made it a pleasure to be outside, wheelbarrowing wood, unpacking, cleaning, and resting. . Candlelight supper, of our very own, home grown beets and rutabagas, in our stir fries (with lots of sauteed, laaaaaaaaaaaarge yellow onions), on whole wheat pasta. It is a pleasure to enJOY these, while the snow is outside. It lets us see the true blessing, of our bounteous gardens! . Lots of little things done during the day and evening, plus it was really nice to be at home, basically, just slowing down, and enjoying the moment! . ::::::::::::::::::::::::::: Tuesday, 1-29-08 ::::::::::::::::::::::::::: It is such a heavenly blessing to look out and see the snow capped hills outside the many large and clear windows, here at Bumpity Road. . Thank you Angels! . We are very grateful to all of you, for JOY'ning once again, to share the Love that is Now! . We were up early, and warming the Bumpity Inn, with the wood stoves. It was still very warm, since the house has stayed cozy from the night. . Kathy talked with Laurie, while Bob kept the stoves a burnin', to warm the house. We embraced the miracles of another Pathways of Light course, and shared the laughter and love! Thank you Angel Laurie! . When I came downstairs, after talking with Laurie, the house was warm, and Bob got ready to go outside in the very cold weather and get the mail, and run the daily errands which make Bumpity Road a fun place to live. Wow, thank you Angel Bob! . The Angels are abounding here! . It is a great day and place to BE in from the cold, and embrace the warm place in the heart, that we are eternally blessed with. . ::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::: Wednesday, 1-30-08 ::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::: Bob started up the kitchen wood stove, and had it warmed up, when Kathy came downstairs. . Bob went out, to bring a wheelbarrow of wood in from the pole barn, to keep it comfortable inside. Whew, he was verrrrrry cold, after staying outside for around ten minutes. Thank you, Angel! . Bob made a delicious meal for lunch. . Kathy went through about half of the e-mail messages that were sent by the Angels, while she was gone to Florida. Thank you everyONE. . It is such a cozy day to stay in by the fire. Thank you, for this blessing that we've received today. ::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::: Thursday, 1-31-2008 ::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::: Both kitchen and Sunrise Room, wood stoves going! . Lunch was homemade, improvised pizzas baked in Miss Monarch's wood stove oven. . For a crust, we use half a slice of the very thick, wheat pita bread, that we get from Nature's Bakery during one of our sojourns to Madison. . Walking up to the mailbox requires layering up with many clothes, before venturing outside. :-) . Home made bean and ham bone soup is simmering away on top of the cookstove, while the pizzas are simmering in the oven. :-) . And besides cooking all that food, Miss Monarch is also warming the entire main part of the house, upstairs and down! . Also, enabling us to avoid using our electrical baseboard heaters during the weekday, peak costs per kilowatt hour. :-) . It is ONEderful to stay warm, in by the wood stove, and snuggle with Robertito. He is a big warm Love Bear. Thank you, Angel! . We have soooooooo much to be grateful for! ::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::: |
