The Imelda Marcos of...

The Yoder family drove for 14 hours on Sunday and made it to Denver in time for dinner. Mom asked the night before when we were leaving...our response..."the butt crack of dawn!"

We did stop by Village Court on our way to take some pics of the house.

This is the new door out to the porch.

...looking up from basement in the elevator shaft

We were showing some of the pictures to Maria, one of the respiratory therapists. She came across the following picture that I took just for fun...Dad's cologne cabinet.

Maria loved the picture and dubbed Dad the Imelda Marcos of cologne....as i thought about it, the picture below does look reminiscent of Dad's cabinet...

Their new bed was delivered and Mom and I went to Dad's favorite store, "Blood Bath and Beyond" yesterday to get linens that will fit. We will drop these off on our way home so the bed can be all ready to snuggle up in. The lift for the garage and to transfer Dad have both arrived and although the house won't be 100% finished, it will be ready enough.

The other day, Dad was talking with Candi Boyd, the chaplain here at Craig. They were discussing Dad's heart stoppage from the other week. He asked Candi if she had a theological answer for why he did not have an out of body experience or or see any bright light. Candi shared this conversation with Emily Scott from family services. While the two did not have a philosophical answer, they did come up with a solution for the light. The next day, the two brought Dad a signed light bulb, instructing him not to turn it on and leave well enough alone. The bulb will be proudly displayed in a frame at home as soon as they return.

I will post again soon...

lots of love,

P.S. Elaine, the prayer shawl you brought to Mom is so greatly appreciated. This certainly has been a journey....
