It’s a cool, rainy evening here in Alaska and even though 9:00 pm has rolled around, as I write this the sky is as brilliant as a white Spring Lilly. I lived in Alaska for 28 years, and I am not sure if I ever adapted to the midnight sun. Whereas I enjoy the extended day, it plays havoc with my sleep patterns.
But this post isn’t about my frivolous ramblings of Alaska. I am not here for a vacation; I am here on a family emergency. My mother had a horrific fall and broke her humerus bone (the bone between the shoulder and elbow), and with my dad gone working, she was alone. I received the call late Thursday, and with what felt like a blink of my eye, I found myself on a plane heading to the Last Frontier to help my mother.
Bob is at home with Milo (our pup-pup for you newcomers) watching over the blender, food processor, and all the delicious ingredients that wait to be assembled into another masterpiece. :) I may get a recipe out this week, but I am not sure. With my chef hat hanging up back home and my caretaker’s hat on my head, I am here shower my mother with love and gentle care. With that being said, I might miss a week of sending out a recipe. Thank you for your understanding and patience.
I would like to ask that you hold my mom in a special place of thoughts and prayers. The doctors indicated that she will need surgery on Monday (plates and screws were in the conversation). Until you hear from me next… have a blessed and wonderful week. I will be back in touch. blessings, amie sue
It dawned on me that for those who are not part of the Nouveauraw Facebook group and/or don’t follow my public page… you may have never seen Milo. So I thought I would share a photo of our tired puppy, that I snapped on our drive to Portland as Bob took me to the airport.
Praying for healing for your mother and the strength you need while loving her and taking care of her in this situation. Any extra time you have please take care of you. We will all be here when you return.
Thank you so much Rebecca, your support and prayers mean the world not only to me but my mom. I have been reading her all the lovely messages here, from the Facebook group, and the private emails that have been pouring in. I couldn’t be more humbled and touched. love and hugs, amie sue
