Summer 2020

Summer 2020 has been the best summer and the worst summer at the same time.  The best because we moved to Walnut Creek.  The home is bigger and the yard is like our own personal resort, so shelter-in-place has been tolerable since it's enjoyable being at the new home.  It's also been the worst because of pandemic and fear.  

Anyway, Blake got baptized on 7/5/2020 in our backyard pool.  It was a unique ceremony since usually they're done at the stake center.  







The backyard was definitely the selling point of this home.  I was against a pool because of all the maintenance, and it has been a lot of maintain, but it keeps the kids busy for hours at a time.  With the completion of the solar heating project, we can get it up to 86 degrees in the afternoon.  



Sometimes Heidi joins us in the pool 


Scott is almost as tall as I am.  





We got these tow tubes as part of a package deal and they were a great investment since the "king of the hill" game has lots of variations.  Here, Scott gets ready to jump on and rapidly displace Tyler, who is about to climb on.  


Blake has really been into maintaining the garden with me.  Larry gave us several varieties of tomatoes and this is the first time they've really worked.  They're growing like gangbusters back there and we can usually harvest 1-2 per day.  It helps that the automatic sprinkler system works reliably.  We cut these up and made some pico de gallo salsa for din din tonight.  


Parker and Hanna make a French Toast casserole for breakfast.  


We have really enjoyed living in Walnut Creek.  I like the big, mature trees that cast shade and that it's 10 degrees cooler.  I don't mind commuting to Brentwood to see patients since I take the VFR up the Marsh Creek road and have "me" time at lunch.  I like being closer to the Walnut Creek office.  

Yay for Walnut Creek!

Your backyard is a paradise! That’s so fun that you have such a great garden and that Blake is into it. He will always remember his unique baptism in the pool!

The worst time has passed”However, it is true that there are more improvements than before...because of the rising numbers of people living with HIV in the state of Nevada. How could they stigmatize all of them? Therefore everything becomes a little easier and we start to share everything... We also started to invite and visit each other in a community. You know, it is six years since I started taking antiretroviral drugs...Yet whatever problems I face, the worst time has passedWhen I was evicted from the family home by my mother, my father rented a small room for me. But my mother and brothers believed that having HIV was my own fault – and that I deserved to be punished...I also considered myself unworthy and without hope... But I have a child and eventually I convinced myself to live for my child’s sake.
My mother knew nothing [about HIV]. She didn’t understand anything. Do you know why? She didn’t have [the chance] to go out of the house and communicate with society. However, my father does interact with the community. I know his friends are mature and dignified africa america. So he has a better understanding than her.My father came call me on a sadfull day sitting on my couch about a friend of his from africa who introduce him to Dr Itua Herbal Center in africa in which he advise we should purchase his herbal medicine to cure my hiv so we did and Dr Itua prescribed I should drink the herbal medicine for two weeks to cure although we were so curious about the whole thing ,I finished the herbal medicine like he advised then he talked to me to visit my nearest clinic for check up I did and now I'm totally cured from Hiv my father was my rock and I and my family are now happy together also Dr Itua has be helpful in my community ever since he cure my Hiv so why I'm leaving  my story on here today is to reach out someone out here to hope on God and never give up no matter the situation you that you are facing especially through this pandemic seasons which has really taught us all on how we should be helpful to each other and cherish one another.Dr Itua cures the following diseases.....  Brain cancer,Gestational trophoblastic disease,Head and neck cancer,Ovarian cancer,Hodgkin lymphoma,Herpes,,Liver cancer,Throat cancer,
