The awesome,Brother Lowdown Band...Chris,,Grayson,Paul,Greg,and Joe
Nancy M,Rick(just home from hospital day before),and Helene
Daughter Alyssa (L),with BF Alison...got back Friday in time to watch all the prep going on around me,for the best blast of the year...this year being the 25th annual Maloof Halloween party on Saturday night.Outside of all the prayers,love,visits,healing hands,cards,etc...this had to be right up there for the "healing of the day" award.I hadn't felt that good (even though I don't look that great...but I hung in) in over a month.I'd guess 75-100 folks had as good a time also.The band stopped around 2:00 a.m. and I stopped about 2:03 a.m....and slept quite well,thank you. Lots of folks stayed over so there were goings on most of the day.Around 5:00,we took a deep breath,smiled,and took a much earned nap. The pics above are only a few of the many that will show up later.We've been keeping an album since the outset and it's fun to see the tiny ones in the early albums,are now thirty-something,...and still coming.
The cards,Emails,telephone calls,visits are still coming in.I am hearing from tons of old friends,relatives,etc.I love it. My old high school group...still best friends with each other after all these years..."Go Mustangs"...love you all;friends I had (true story)in a carriage (I have the pic),when I was less than a year old;friends I used to play kick-the-can with until it was too dark,and our mothers would scream at us to come in,and me ,hoping they would ask me to come up for spaghetti and meat ball dinner;all my old and new friends...I love you all.Thank you for the love and prayers.I feel healed already.You are ALL in my thoughts,and MY prayers as well,Rickster
OK Rick, I went to google and clicked on the "gmail" link, clicked on "create an account," and after many attempts to find an available username that sounds something like my name, I successfully created an account. I will send this with prayers and well wishes for your journey and see if it goes through. Keep your fingers crossed!

It worked!!!! I clicked "send" once and it didn't work. That was because the word verification box contained a question mark in it, so there was nothing to type/copy into the box. But when that failed, the page that popped up did have the word verification word to retype into the box (I hope this makes sense), so I put that in, retyped my username and password, and voila, my comment appeared. So tell your friends and family members to go to google.com to set up their gmail accounts. THEN they can go to your blog page and leave comments. If it doesn't work the first time, try again - it worked the second time for me.
ReplyDeleteI will be popping in often to see how you are doing, and Joan, and in the meantime prayers are flowing your way!
Love Ann
...to all.I think Joan fixed my blog site so anyone can leave a comment now.Here's hoping,Rick
ReplyDeleteYou have our best, dear friend. I'm happy that Dan is joining you and Joan on your Mexico journey. Yup, buddy, tears are coming to my eyes as well. We are awaiting news of your progress, and we do have and use Skype.
ReplyDeleteHi Rick! I hope Mexico is treating you right. I am so glad I got to see you at Halloween. Always wonderful to catch up with you and Joan. I'm hoping I can get down again in the new year. All my best!
