I hope everyone is having a great summer. My husband Eldon, spent the last week in the hospital but we are now back home and all is well!  Friends and family built Eldon a ramp for his wheelchair which was so needed.  I can't thank them enough. Here is a picture of us coming home on Thursday using the ramp for the first time.

hank you for your continued prayers, they are certainly welcomed.
