Merrells: February 2010
http://marymerrell.blogspot.com/2010_02_01_archive.html
Friday, February 12, 2010. So, I have really enjoyed reading everyone's blogs. I love to get little glimpses into the lives of friends and loved ones, little stories and pictures that make me smile. But I never could imagine myself as anything other than a bystander. That is until Chrissy surprised me by creating this blog! Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). Welcome to the world, Elle. And He's off to Serve the Lord. Love 4 My Family. First Day of School 2012.

Merrells: Chapter Ten
http://marymerrell.blogspot.com/2010/07/chapter-ten.html
Friday, July 23, 2010. Preparing for the Music. July 18, 2010. Saturday afternoon started out with a shopping trip. We were about to embark on our ‘mostly’ annual weekend anniversary getaway to Little America—four weeks early—in anticipation of Mary’s surgery on Wednesday. The stop at Khol’s was an add-on. We needed some color coordinated shirts for our upcoming family pictures on Monday. The two of them interact with comments about why or why not the article of clothing would or wouldn’t work....Because...

Merrells: Chapter Four
http://marymerrell.blogspot.com/2010/07/chapter-four.html
Thursday, July 15, 2010. 8220;How are things with you and Mary? 8221; I asked. 8220;We broke up a couple of weeks ago,” Dave replied. My heart jumped. “Oh! Too bad.”. 8220;You need to ask her out,” Dave finally suggested. 8220;Who, the roommate? Not a chance.” But I knew who he meant. 8220;No . . . Mary, you two would be great together.”. 8220;Na, I wouldn’t want to step on your wounded toes,” I replied, knowing I could get him to encourage me on. 8220;Are you sure? 8220;What do you mean? Who was I to ju...

Merrells: Chapter Five
http://marymerrell.blogspot.com/2010/07/chapter-five.html
Thursday, July 15, 2010. Song of the Beast. July 13, 2010. The giant MRI starts out with a click, click, click . . . click, clunk . . . clunk . . . clunk, clunk. There’s no rime or reason to the sounds, but the monstrous machine is intimidating no matter how you look at it. Thank goodness for modern technology. 8220;There’s more than one way to scoot you close,” I chuckled. July 13, 2010. We met Dr. Jennifer Tittensor this morning. Did I actually spell that right?

Merrells: Chapter Nine
http://marymerrell.blogspot.com/2010/07/chapter-nine.html
Tuesday, July 20, 2010. I finished work early that Friday afternoon in anticipation of the twelve hour drive ahead. I’d never driven to Washington before and depended on Mary’s finely honed navigational skills—developed through several trips to and from her home town in Sumner, WA—to know the way. It must have been about four-o-clock when we tossed our things into the back of the shinny little Fiesta and pulled from the parking lot. It was probably somewhere near Boise—after the air in the car had ...

Merrells: chapter Eight
http://marymerrell.blogspot.com/2010/07/chapter-eight.html
Sunday, July 18, 2010. Timbre—Colors of Love. July 17, 2010. Fork Canyon was our destination, close, convenient, and familiar. We had planned on finding a nice secluded spot near the river, to build a campfire, sit in the cool night air, roast some marshmallows, and make Somores. Right! I haven’t been up the canyon on a Friday night lately. Wall to wall cars, dist a half inch thick on everything, every campground full to the brim, and we’re in a 32 foot motor home. I suppose it was that one. Mary Merrell...

Merrells: Chapter Seven
http://marymerrell.blogspot.com/2010/07/chapter-seven.html
Saturday, July 17, 2010. Everything I wanted was just two doors down the veranda. Mary told me months later that she had felt terrible for the way things had happened in the car that night with Steve, but my. July 12, 2010. Mary looked at me with a puzzled expression and then asked me with one of those duh tones, “Why? 8220;I don’t know exactly. A long trip on a bike is hard.”. But that would have been too many words. 8220;No, no, it’s not that I don’t want to go,” I started to explain. July 16, 2010.

Merrells: Chapter Eleven
http://marymerrell.blogspot.com/2010/07/chapter-eleven.html
Monday, July 26, 2010. Music to Our Ears. July 21, 2010. She was a recent breast cancer survivor, maybe forty-two years old, with spunky short brown hair and a positive attitude that took more of the fear out of surgery than all the other speeches, pamphlets, and. 8221; But the day and the circumstances just didn’t seem to warrant my joviality. An hour turned to one and a half and I was the only person still sitting in the waiting room. I doubted that Mary was taking so long to awake from surgery so ...
