Hey everyone! I haven’t been on here since I don’t know when. I don’t have to go to the Mayo until 2025 (first time since 2007 that I get to miss a year!) for a checkup. Things are going so well. I still have a mid-ascending aortic aneurysm that they are monitoring, but it’s stable right now.

But I stay quite active doing a twice weekly Zoom class with light weights (up to 50#), Pickleball weekly, biking 5 days a week, hiking, snowshoeing (once we get some snow), and playing with our two grandkiddos (2 and 4 years old).

I am so very grateful for every moment. I have two chapters left to do (of 7) on the Romans 1:20 book (Wonderful World), and I’m painting when I can. My motto is still Upright and This Side of the Grass is a Good Day!

Thank you everyone of you for your prayers, help, and love through the years! I will never forget the kindness.

You are loved and blessings to you,
Jackie
