Just a quick update:  I was able to FaceTime with my sister today and she was very chatty and upbeat. I had one of her kitties on my lap and she was so pleased to see her and talk to her!  We also have sweet peas blooming in our garden right now, planted just for Lindy, and so I was able to cut the first bouquet and share them with her. She said they were beautiful. I couldn’t tell if she understood why we aren’t visiting, but thankfully she didn't seem troubled in any way and was pleased to see us.  This face to face visit was just what I needed - praise God!
