Mom & Keith

It is hard to believe we have been home from our mission for three months. 

 We are appreciating our home and it's conveniences.  My recovery from 

rotator cuff surgery is going slow but as expected.  In 2 1/2 weeks I 

can start using my right arm.  I certainly was not born to be a lefty!!  

I have physical therapy twice a week...then another month of retrenched

 upper arm. The one upside to this is that I have watched a lot of HGTV

 and I am making lots of plans for much needed updating on the old 

homestead starting with the kitchen.  We had three trees taken down in 

our oak grove.  They were the smaller ones and having them gone has 

opened things up in the backyard quite a bit but without sacrificing 

shade where it is wanted.  In the spring we will make more improvements.

  Keith's balance problems seem to be improving with the physical therapy

 he had and exercised he is doing. For those who may be in the neighborhood

 at Christmas, the local family will be sharing Christmas dinner with us 

and you are invited to join us if it is convenient.  If you need your gift

 exchange list, let me know.  Start thinking now about that.  Let your 

family know when to expect those gifts.  Let them know if finances could

 be a problem.  Home made is great. We love you all so much.  Please take

 care of yourselves.  Love Mom and Dad Walburger
