It has been a couple of weeks since the release of Heart Refined, and I appreciate all the kind words from those that have read the book. I poured my heart into writing the book and trust that anyone that reads it can see the honesty that I attempt to portray. I am grateful to those that have helped me get the word out about Heart Refined.
I am looking forward to being able to come in contact on a more personal level with those that prayed for me during my ordeal.
I have been keeping busy in the weeks since Heart Refined was released. On July 28-30, our family took a train ride from Flint to Chicago. Sarah was wise enough to secure bus passes that we were able to use throughout the three days. The kids were amazed by the sights and sounds.
Once we arrived at the hotel, we freshened up, and headed straight to the American Girl doll store. Hope could not get there fast enough. She had been saving her money from Christmas and birthdays for several months and could not wait to get her doll. Gabe and I, on the other hand, made a quick right hand turn on the second floor of American Girl doll and headed for the more man-friendly Lego store.
Once we were done with a little shopping, we took a ride up to the top of the John Hancock building before heading over to the Briar Street Theatre to see Blue Man Group. Sarah and I had seen Blue Man Group perform before, and knew the kids would enjoy them.
Friday consisted of a full day at the Museum of Science and Industry, a great dinner at the Cheese Cake Factory followed by another trip up to the top of the John Hancock building to see an evening view of Chicago. It was a great trip, and the time flew by. I was thankful that I was able to physical handle the hustle and bustle of the three days.
In just over two weeks, I will be heading down to the University of Michigan Hospital for some labs, an Echo-Cardio Gram and a visit with my cardiologist. I have been experiencing discomfort on an ongoing basis, so at this point I am not sure what sort of report I am going to receive, but I am praying for an accurate assessment.
Walt,
Sorry I haven’t gotten back with you regarding your book. Jeni and I have been busy visiting our kids/grandkids on both sides of the US (Vermont and Oregon). Our daughter-in-law and two grandkids are with us for the next two weeks at our cottage.
I would like to purchase your book. If I remember correctly, I can get it thru Amazon or a local bookstore, correct?
Dempsey
Thanks for the updates.
