Saturday 11/16/24

Hi All... Happy Saturday from Wisconsin.

Yes that's correct... Wisconsin!


I decided to come back to Wisconsin for a couple of weeks.

I went down to Florida to do some work on our 2 properties and enjoy the sunshine but I didn't get too much done. I did do some repairs to the mobile home but my car port is damaged and not up to the current codes so it needs to be replaced. I also had some renters coming in at the beginning of November so out I go! I was hoping to stay at our condo on the beach, but no way... after 30 inches of water, 2 hurricanes pretty much destroyed the inside. The whole complex finally got electricity the other day but we still don't have water. Time to rebuild but its going to take a while! I did stay at daughter Leah's for a week before deciding to come home. I'll be heading back to Florida in a couple of weeks to check on any updates.


I do want to thank everyone for all the love and support this whole year, it was a tough one and I'm doing ok. I feel like I am always running away from something... but I've always been a busy person so maybe it's just that... I really don't know???


I would like to mention some of the gifts and donation I have received. First, the monetary donations... I will try to pay it forward, thank you! Second, the cards and letters, thank you again! Third, the blood donations, thank you! Forth, the tree plantings, what a great idea! Whoever came up with that is a genius, thank you! Fifth, the food, the love, the hugs, the phone calls, the texts, the visits and everything else, thank you! I did write everyone a thank you card so I hope everyone received one. If I missed someone I am sorry.


Below is a picture of daughter Amy, her husband Christopher, and the twins Claire and Aubrey. Grandma Bub and Grandpa Gerf purchased a tree in Julie's memory and planted it in their yard... there are some of Julie's ashes in there also... Thank you!


On a Minnesota note: If anyone is coming down for the Badger / Gopher football game in a couple of weeks... let me know... maybe we can get a cocktail together!


That's all I have for now.

Love and prayers to all!

Joe

Hey Joe, You've got a flair for writing. You will forever miss Julie, and you may find it a bit easier to manage through it stronger and stronger with each day as God gives you comfort. Blessed are those who mourn for they shall be comforted. Your friends that suggested the tree planting are just one way of receiving that comfort. As it grows closer and closer to the sky it will bring a feeling of peace, over and over.
