Saturday, 3-1-08 . Spring is coming Spring is coming Spring is coming soon! All the snow will have to go 'cause Spring is coming soon! . It is a Be-You-Ti-Full day, to wake up and welcome all of the Angels, at Bumpity Road, including LeRoi, Jeannene, John, Catherine, Duncan, Bob and Kathy. . We shared breakfast with our visitors, by serving two of Bob's sper big, 5 egg, delicious omelets, that had onions, peppers, cheddar cheese, and basil in it. . EveryONE seemed to like it very mucho!!!! . While we were eating, Kathy's dad, Randy called, and we passed the phone around, for him to talk with everyONE, from Florida. . We all invited him, to come and JOY'n with us, in Wisconsin. . We visited with all these blessed Angels, and then, Catherine, Duncan, Jeannene, and John got ready, and left to go see if they would make it to the Pleasantville Amish Bakery, while there were still some delicious pecan sticky buns left. Then, they headed back to Madison. . LeRoi stayed and visited for a while, and talked with Michelle about coming over to Bumpity today. . She decided to wait until tomorrow, so LeRoi got ready, to leave, and put his Bumpity treats together. . We rested for the afternoon, and are snuggled in, here at Bumpity Road. :::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::: Sunday, March-2-2008 :::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::: Michelle decided not to come today, so we we've been Home Al-ONE again! . We've kept the house warm, for you to come home to. . We shared a ONEderful day of Peace and Joy. . We talked with our dear friend, Robert M., in Iowa, who says it perfectly: Words cannot describe the amazing beauty of it all! . The rain is now coming down, and it is warmer. Sooooo, we are grateful for all that is, (including, a slightly diminished, 50# bag of popping corn!) :-) . ::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::: Monday, 3-3-08 . Bob got the woodstove going again, and we are keeping warm, in this winter breeze. . Bob was writing a new e-mail message that he sent out to a friend, which may become another new song. . Bob and KAThy went into Portage, to run errands and stop by the library, and see Bob's mother, Helen. . Helen was visiting with a friend, who'd stopped by, and it was nice to talk with her. . Bob got her shovel out, and cleared the sidewalk and driveway. Thank you, sweet Angel. . We came back to Bumpity, and ate a dinner of spaghetti, and a delicious garden salad. . We received an e-mail message from Duncan, saying that our 4 overnight visitors from Madison enJOYed their weekend here. . Thank you God, for all of the blessings. ::::::::::::::::::::::::::: Tuesday, 3-4-08 Bob was reading until the early hours this morning. So, Kathy was up, to welcome the day in. . Kathy warmed the fire embers, and got Miss Monarch (our wood cook stove) roastee toastee. . Kathy talked with Deb, who helped her check to make sure that we're connected here, at Bumpity to make calls on SkyPe. Now, we're ready. So, if you have SkyPe on your computer, send us an e-mail to let us know that you'd like to connect, and we can do that. Thank you online Angels! . Kathy shared a Pathways of Light course with Sylvia (now in Colombia, South America), and we welcomed Holy Spirit to openly express our feelings, about how we are BEing guided, in our experiences, and interactions. . Thank you Angel! . Bob is embracing another opportunity to read books that are written by authors that has been suggested to him, and seems quite focused, on these readings. . Kathy made a big huge soup pan of mixed vegetable soup, which is very tasty. It includes another pail of the Bumpity Rd. tomatoes and green beans. So, more goodies are getting cleared out of the freezer. ::::::::::::::::::::::::::::: Wednesday, 3-5-08 Bob and Kathy were up early, before Kathy shared with the Holy Spirit group, with Deb and everyONE. . Kathy is really enJOYing this blessing, in which to share openly, with these friends clearly, about the experience about how Spirit is guiding all of us. . Kathy rejoiced with Bob, after the group, in being grateful for all of the miracles that we embrace. . Sylvia came onto SkyPe afterwards, and we were on long enough to chat with her, and sing our new song: "Your...Overflowing Love" . Sylvia said that she felt like she was right here, singing along with us! . Then, we talked a while, and got bounced off of SkyPe a few times. . Kathy and Sylvia typed text messages for a while on SkyPe, then the battery on Sylvia's computer went out. . So, we signed off, for today. . We continued to JOY'n during the day, by eating the Bumpity garden harvest feast, and being graciously thankful for the blessing, of all that is. . We watched a 50 year anniversary special of the music of the Osmonds, which was very moving and beautiful. . It was symbolic, because so many of the songs are that they sang are ones that Kathy has sung in union with Holy Spirit, and changed many of the words, to be songs of gratitude and love to God. . Thank you, for this musical blessing! ::::::::::::::::::::::::: Thursday, 3-6-08 We went into Portage, to get a new battery at Wal-Mart. . So, Bob went to play cards with his Mom, Helen and sister, Rose. While they were playing, Kathy went to get the battery, to keep our newest red Saturn running smoothly. . Kathy took the car in, and was looking around in Wal-Mart, when they paged her to say that the car was ready. They are fast and handy, indeed. . Now, we are ready to zip along, on our trusty, somewhat icy, back roads. . Kathy went back over to pick Bob up, and they were about to play another game. . Helen and Rose were in good spirits, and having fun with Bob. . Kathy and Bob came home, and are resting in here, on this snowy and cold night. . Kathy called her mom, Newell (in Kentucky), and talked with her, and her uncle Chris, who's visiting with her. It was nice to talk and visit with him. . Clay, Kathy's brother was there too, and we talked with him for a few minutes. . Mama Newell was talking about when they traveled through Manzanilo, Mexico. She remembered that Bob talked about visiting there, and that he's the only person that she's ever met who knows where it is. Bob was there, travelling with his son, Christian, when his youngest son was not quite 2 years old! Then, Bob and Uncle Chris talked about having been to Manzanilo too. . We also invited Chris to come and visit at Bumpity Road, anytime. ::::::::::::::::::::: Friday, 3-7-08 Bob and Kathy went back into Portage today, for Bob to play cards with his mother, Helen, Victor, and Aunt Eva. . Kathy went to an appointment with the eye doctor, to decide how to see things more clearly, with her eyes. Kathy realizes that the true seeing is from the guidance, from within the heart. . Kathy came back to meet Bob, and we came back to Bumpity Road, where we ate a dinner, of veggie bean soup that Kathy made. . Now, we are resting, in the sweet blessings of Bumpity Road. . It is a fabulous and quiet, evening here. . We are grateful. ::::::::::::::::::::::::: Saturday, 3-8-08 It is another day, to rejoice in the arms of Bumpity Road. . Kathy and Bob JOY'ned to write a wedding ceremony for Linda and Daryel. They will be married on a farm that Bob's brother, Ronnie, sold to their family, that now lives there. . This family is part of Daryel's family. . They made a huge house, with grounds, that has a gazebo. It is said to look like a castle. . So, this will be a fun experience, in this dream of life ... with the wedding being held on the gazebo, sort of like Cinderella and the Prince. . It was a fabulous opportunity for Bob and KAThy to tweak the ceremony so that it tells the story of how Daryel and Linda met, and are guided to JOY'n in marriage. . It is always a great experience, to have a lot of fun communication of what marriage means to the couple who are going to be married by Kathy and Bob, once again, when we write a wedding ceremony. . Kathy talked with Duncan, and it was great, to laugh with him. . Then, Kathy talked with Teri and Zach, in Milwaukee. :::::::::::::::::::::::::::: Sunday, 3-9-08 We've embraced a beautiful day, while we made the finishing touches on the wedding ceremony for Linda and Daryel. . Then, we rehearsed our parts several times too. . It is always a ONEderul experience to do this, and a significant reminder of the commitment that we've made, in JOY'ning in the marriage of love, as ONE! . We also went over the words and verses for a new song: "Your Overflowing Love," to tweak them. . We were just finishing this when Bob's sister, Rita called, and we sang it for her. . It was a joy, indeed. . Thank you, Rita. . The words for all songs can be found at: http://community.webtv.net/thesinginggrandpa :::::::::::::::::::::::::: Monday, 3-10-08 Well, Bobbity was bumbling along with the word processor unti about 4:30 a.m. this morning. . That completed about a 12 hour stint of writing: . 1. many drafts of a wedding ceremony, . 2. lots of e-mails, . 3. brainstorming additional ideas for hosting the Non Violent Commuications Workshop Weekend, here n April, . 4. Tinkering and tweaking two new songs: (YOUR OVERFLOWING LOVE, and, WHEN I CAN FEAR, NO GREATER FEAR). . 5 Rehearsing, re-editing, and timing our parts for the wedding ceremony, before sending it to the couple, . 6. Singing songs together, and playing with melodies, solos, choruses, and tempos, . 7. Hours of working with ideas for 8 old ideas for songs, just letting consciousness, intuitively stream, and writing whatever new material pops up. . 8. And, I got so busy that I missed my favorite TV program, and I don't even feel a sense of loss, and, who knows, I may, possibly, never watch that program, again! Wow! , 9. It does feel, as though "something, has "shifted"? :-) . When Kathy answered the phone, Karen R. was on the phone, to say that she and the friend who was coming this weekend to share dinner and a dream interpretation group with us, were not going to be able to come. . While we were talking, Kathy said: I want to ask you, have you always lived here, because I know a Karen R.? . Karen said, I lived in Lexington, KY. for 14 years, at one time. I said, I lived in Lexington, KY. too. Please tell me what you look like? As soon as I said that, I automatically saw her face, in my mind. . It was so vivid, and we were completely JOY'ned once again. She wanted to know how Bob and I met, and I told her the story of our perfect union. . Wow, isn't it a miracle? So, here we are, sharing in the delights of the blessings, once again! . Now, Karen is inspired to come and BE with us, here at Bumpity Road, as soon as she can. Thank you God, for the Angels! Wow, that is fabulous, Jesus has brought us together, once again! :::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::: Tuesday, 3-11, 2008 Today, Bob got up to start putting more songs together. . He finished Winter's Here, which is another joy song, to the tune of Jingle Bells, and is about the delights of living in this snow filled fun. . Kathy talked to Mary, who will JOY'n us for the April gathering. She talked to our friend Ken A., and he referred her to us. So, Kathy sent her an e-mail and directions to Bumpity Road. She called today, to say that she'll be coming here, for the April, and it was great to talk with her. . Then, we got a call from the friend who referred Karen R. to us, about the dream group. Her name is Georgia, she was so happy and surprised to hear about that, and said that she'd talk with Karen, to see when they can come. . So, it was a lot of fun, to laugh with her too. . It is so symbolic, to be here, and have so many friends call about JOY'ning, and it all happens from here, at Bumpity Road. . We are very grateful for all of the friends that we have, who accept the invitation, to come here, and BE together. :::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::: Wednesday, 3-12-08 KAThy was up early, to start the flames in the cookstove, by warming the house, before sharing with the Holy Spirit-Your Inner Teacher online group. .

Happy Eternal day, Angel Bob! Everyday is an opportunity to embrace the blessing that we celebrate, with an eternal birthday! .

She is the mother to a friend, Dale K., who lived at Bumpity Road for four years, and had some fantastic experiences here! . We got there, and talked with Dale, and his partner, Maggie, who met at Bumpity Road, and are now engaged. It was great to see them, and meet and visit with his three sons, and other family and friends. .

During all of the sharings about why the inspiration of going to Florida sounds helpful, we told them that we're snowed in, at Bumpity Road.

We called our friends Ken and Sally R. to see if they'd like to meet us at Perkins for dinner, and they said that they'd meet us there. . When we were walking into Perkins, Bob was looking at the license plate on a car that a woman had just gotten out of, and she was walking into the restaurant. The license plate said: AAA Dane. Bob asked her if the AAA stood for American Automobile Association. She said that it stands for: Area Agency for Aging. . Bob said, "Oh, that's interesting. We're going to meet some friends here for a break. Would you like to join us? We'll tell you why it's interesting that you're with the Area Agency for Aging, when we sit down." . Kathy and Bob went in and joined her, at the table. We were just explaining to her that we had come to Madison to go to a workshop for the weekend, in which we'd be talking with the people there, about holding natural memorial services. . Or, services, which are spiritually and environmentally helpful. . She found that interesting, and was a very friendly person to talk with. Her name was Barb T. . We also told her that we'd be going to have lunch with our friends, Rita, Duncan, and Catherine, at Rita's house on Sunday. . When we were talking about that, Barb said: "Oh, I know Rita, she used to work with me." . Wow, it is so synchronistic how things come together for us. Thank you, Holy Spirit! . We visited with everyONE, and Barb had to leave after a while. We gave her a card, and invited her to Bumpity Road, to which she said: "Maybe I'll come out sometime, with Rita." . We said: "Oh, that will be great. Rita likes to find someone to ride with, when she comes out to our house. That's a great idea!" . Thank you Angels! . Bob and Kathy shared a fantastic interaction with Sally and Ken, in which Sally was talking about the experiences that she shared with her mother, in the last days, before she let her body go. . Sally talked about her mother's life, and how she didn't grow up with very much money. She talked about the red dress that her mother had. . One of the last thing that her mother said, was: "My red dress," so Sally took that to mean that she was to be buried in her red dress, and red shoes. Which she was. It was very symbolic and meaningful for Sally and Ken, that she made that request. . The way that Sally shared this, was so moving. . Thank you Sally, you are soooooooo beautiful. . Bob and Kathy went on, to the Natural Passing workshop. When we got there, Ken met us there, because he was inspired to, from what we shared, at dinner. . Duncan was there also, on behalf of, and to bring information back to, his hospice employers, so we all JOY'ned and shared there, too. . We all sat down, to meet with the 37 participants, at the gathering. .

We have already extended our invitation to host an open house at Bumpity for them, the entire weekend of July 12th. .

More people arrived, so there were around 37 people there, from many life experiences. . We talked about the doors that we have all come through, in life. . We shared many meaningful exercises, about what living, and passing on, from this life experience, and what it means, to all of us. . Kathy found it quite powerful to talk about the fact that passing is about letting Spirit guide us, and following our inner voice, or light, in doing this. When letting this body go, passing is about BEing One with Holy Spirit, and always BEing alive, whether the body is, or not. . Thank you God, for the opportunity to share this openly, from the heart. . We shared a Onederful day and lunch, with everyONE there. . We then JOY'ned in the afternoon session, talking many factors about burials, including many things, that are helpful to know about. . We had a dinner break, then came back for an evening session, which was a very interesting panel presentation, followed by much discussion, with questions from the much enlarged group of evening participants. .
