Last week a lot of things have been happening. We saw a crane on top of our neighbors house. It stayed there for along time. We took pictures so you can see it.
We are also remodeling our front yard to a desert landscape. We still have the trees but will not have grass in the front yard. we now have bricks for our sidewalk.
We had rain last Monday. I saw a triple rainbow it was so big mom could not get it all in her camera for one picture. It was complete one end to another. The bottom rainbow went through the colors twice. It was really cool.
This weeks discussion for my blog is "Have you ever had to take care of someone you loved?" What was it like, was it scary?
I think I have an idea of what it would be like.
I would have to give them food, care for them, help them up to go to the bathroom and clean them.
I would like to be able to take care of my Mom. She gave birth to me and I love her.
Love
Steven

Hey Steven. That was a beautiful rainbow. I never thought about the fact that if you don't get rain you don't get a rainbow. We do get rain and rainbows so next time I'll appreciate it more knowing that there are places around the world that don't see them often.
I wonder where that crane was flying? Could it have been resting to complete his journey.
I have only had to take care of my kids when they've been sick. The hardest was when Jessica hadher tonsils removed a few summers ago. She was in a lot of pain for a long time. I did't have to clean her up or anything but you know those are the things you do when you love someone.
Hi, Steven ... well, you've seen some pretty cool things recently, haven't you? We see quite a few cranes in our part of the country, but I would think that it's very unusual to see a crane in your neighborhood. It sure is sittin' pretty up there on that rooftop. Great picture!
Now, on to your next question about whether I've ever had to take care of someone I love and the answer is definitely "yes". Last year, your uncle Rick had 2 surgeries within a month of each other ... first for a ruptured tendon on the top of his foot and the 2nd surgery was to repair a hernia so he was having a pretty rough time of it there for a while. If you can believe it, he's going to have more surgery on BOTH of his feet tomorrow morning so he's going to be sitting on his hiney for about a week ... this is work that he was supposed to have done last year, but then he had that ruptured tendon which had to be taken care of immediately and this other stuff got pushed back. And yes, sometimes taking care of someone you love can be a scarey thing. My very good friend, Pegi (who was really like my other mother) was very ill a few years ago and she almost died several times when she first became ill. However, during all the time I spent with her during those first hard months she went through, it gave us a chance to become even closer and I will always cherish those times. And you're right ... sometimes taking care of someone means that you have to give them food, take them to the bathroom, etc. ... but sometimes the best thing you can do for your loved one is be there and just keep them company.
Thanx for keeping us up to date on what's going on in your life.
Love, Aunt Robin
Hey Steven - I saw that rainbow. It was really cool. Rainbows make me think about Gods promise to us that He would never cover the earth with water again and that we would see the rainbow after the rain to remember His promise. Do you know how crazy the people had to think that Noah was? Building this big boat in a place that did not have much water. And can you imagine with the ark full of every living creature and closed up for so long... it probably did not smell so groovy. I am grateful that I can take a journey on a ship with room service and all the food I can eat ;-)I have quite a few people in my life that I take care of. My daughter, Kaya, has had us in the hospital a few times. I love her so much that when she is not feeling good I can feel it also. I would stop the world to make sure she was all right. Sometimes when I am taking care of her I get tired. I think it is because it is hard when the people you love don't feel well. I also take care of my grandparents. I bring them food and wash their clothes and try and keep their house clean. They are getting old but still want to live by themselves. My mom and I take turns going to their house to help them. I think that they took very good care of me a long, long time ago and this is part of the circle of life. It Is my turn to help them. And like your Aunt Robin says, it is just being with them that seems to be the most important thing to them. I love your new walkway into your beautiful house. The stones look like they are in England. And the paint on your new house is a pretty color also. I won't ever miss it. I don't think I've ever seen a crane in Las Vegas. They are pretty. I wonder if they mate for life like geese or doves? And I wonder where that crane was going. Thanks for sharing on your blog. See ya later and Kaya says Hi!!!
