Carl's Corner
by a fellow NB fighter, Raymond. She touched our hearts, as she spoke of Carl as her Hero! Click on link below ~ My few minutes with Anna O'Connor Journal Sunday, June 15, 2008 8:02 PM CDT Saturday July 19th Have a Great week everyone, and a Wonderful 4th of July Holiday weekend!!!! Thursday June 19th A couple weeks ago, we made a trip to the cities, then Duluth for Nephews Nick & Jordan's Highschool graduation. We then spent a few days on vacation along the North Shore!!! I just finished putting together a little montage of some of our Duluth, North Shore footage. We took a excursion boat out in the Duluth Harbor which went out on to Lake Superior a little. That was very interesting and educational!! Then we drove up north to Split Rock Light House, which Cara called "A Castle". Enjoy!!! Happy Fathers Day to all Dads, Grandpa's, Uncles, Cousins, and any other male father figure, that are Blessed to have a child in their lives!!! We have had a perfectly Beautiful day here at home!!! We have still not had a whole lot of nice weather, it has either been rainy, windy, cold, or a combination of all three. When it is a nice day, we enjoy it, and Love every minute of it!!! We have certainly learned an appreciation for God's gifts of nature and beauty!!! With the delay of spring weather, and few days suitable for Hay, the baling has just begun, and Fathers Day was no exception. Tom and Uncle John and Kate have been busy cutting and baling most of today. Sam and Cara spent a couple hours playing in a little wading pool we picked up at Walmart yesterday! I did some mowing around the farm, and enjoyed watching them sitting in the pool together, running in and out, and making trips in and out of the house with buckets of warm water to add to their cold pool. It warmed my heart to watch them together, Cara running right behind Sam, just the way I remember Carl doing, as they too would be doing just the same things!!! They used an empty large tote, to put inside the pool, and added warm water to create a "Hot Tub" :-) I sure miss the days and hours those two boys would play together, always laughing as they came up with cleaver ideas and carried out most of them with great enjoyment!!! Sam still likes to be a kid, and I treasure these moments as long as they will last!! Cara Loves to have Sam play with her, but she also can hold her own and entertain herself very well!! She is so busy, and has an agenda of her own. She carries her bag full of baby stuff, and strolls her baby around like a little mommy. I can't imagine how lonely it would be without her presence in our lives. Sydney has been in Texas this week with her Dad and Karen and Pracilla!! It sounds like she has been living it up spending lots of time lounging in the pool at their new house!! She will be coming home tomorrow, to get ready for a FFA event coming up on Tuesday that she is very excited about!!! With summer soon on our doorstep, it will not be long and the kids will be back at the county fair showing animals again. They will need to start working with them daily to wash and lead them. They will be bring more animals this year too, since Renville county will be having an open class show, so they will show in 4H and the open class too!! Sydney and Sam are planning on going to Camp Jornada this summer too!! They are very excited, and happy that it will work out, since the dates have been moved up a week, not to conflict with the county fair. Stewartville has had a lot of rain and flooding, so we hope everyone down there is ok, and there is not too much damage from the heavy storms. We will be praying that the weather settles down for our SE neighbors and friends, and that they get a much needed break from all of this rain!!! Last Sunday we spent the afternoon at the Mall of America helping the Minnesota Families put on an Alex's Lemonade Stand!!! It was great to see all of you there again, we Loved helping out and being with you that day!!! Sydney said that doing this makes her feel closer to Carl :-) And I have to say the same, it strengthens our bonds with our fellow cancer families, as we all are in this for the same reason, and we all "Get It"!! The picture way at the top is of myself (far left) then Bryan, next Erik Ludwinski a wonderful young man we finally got to meet from Park Rapids MN!!! Erik is an amazing guy, Please keep him in your Prayers, as he has had a couple of NB relapses over the last few years, and continues to fight!!! Then Molly Hollway, a NB survivor, and then Sydney!!! We also were Blessed to see Daniel Hammer and his Daddy Vic!! We continue to Pray for all the NB warriers, and of course all of the Angels that are now in Heaven. God Bless them all and we Pray that one day a cure will be discovered, to wipe out NB forever!!! God Bless you all, and may you have a Wonderful week!!! Love & Peace Kelly Hospital Information:
