  • Mothers Day

    Davids B-day 130 Wishing all a Happy Mothers day.

    My Mother Elizabeth, with my Grandchildren, Coleman, Tyler & Garrison. taken a few yrs ago.  She has always had a sense of humor, a hard worker, and good Mother.  I know as a young girl I didn't appreciate Her like I should've, but then who does.  Being a Mother & Grandmother (Nana) gives you a new prespective on Motherhood.  I'm glad for the relationship I have with My Mother, and We enjoy quilting, and quilt shows, eating out or sitting on the front porch and just visiting.Thanks Mom for all the sacrifices, prayers, and tears you've shed on my behalf. I love you. 

    I also want to reconize My deceased Mother in law.  What can I say.  She was such an example of what a Mother in law should be.  Never could enjoy jokes about mother in laws, because I couldn't idenify with them. I only hope I can match Her example as I'm a Mother in Law.

    To Our Daughter Gayle, & Daughter in Law Jennie, Thank you for being the kind of Mothers that you are. First of all that you see it important to introduce our grandchildren to the Lord.  For all the endless hrs. you put taking care of your homes, sleepless nights, shuffling jobs, schedules, wiping snotty noses, piles of laundry, and always trying to come up with another meal.  Thank you for the efforts you put into your marriages, in loving your childrens Fathers. That is one of the biggest gifts you can give to your children.  David & I are so proud of you.    Love you both.

  • up date!!!

    Thouht I may need to update. I know I put this on FB, but some of  my xanga friends don't do fb.  Last Friday, our daughter Gayle had Thyroid surgey only to find out it was full of cancer.  I probably won't spell it right but this is my best shot Papalarynx  This is a fast growing kind in younger people altho, it is treatable.  Now were looking at iodine radiation.  Our hearts are broken, and no parent wants to see thier children suffer, but God is our Strength.  Thank you for your prayers.

  • God is Good

    Greetings Xanga Freinds,

    I know my page is quite boring compared to some of the others, but I'm computer challenged                    Well I put that little smiley face in and now I can't move it where I want it.  Guess the jokes on me.  Life continues to be interesting, as I stay busy.  Yep, believe it or not, I'm getting ready to put in the Christmas cards in the stores. So my busy season begins.  

    I'm hoping to take a quilting class on Sat. It's just fun to get to gether with other ladies with same interests.  Since we don't have a monthly sewing, (Which I always enjoyed).  For those with children our age, remember the sewings we had where the amount of children way out did the number of adults.    Now were becoming as Perry Miller would say"Fossils".               

    Our church is getting ready for our Christmas production, They've been doing this for at least 14 years, and it just gets better every yr.  It's amazing our church holds approx. 2000 people and we usually have up to 6-7 showings, with the house packed.  Yet I never ceases, that in the crowd, half of them have never seen it before.   It is entertainment, with a message.  We always have a couple hundred to recomit or accept Jesus as there Saviour.  Thats what it's all about.   My contribution is in the coustume room.  

    The 2cd week of Sept.  We went NC along with Davids Brothers & Harold & Rhoda.  We had a great time. Wonderful food, fun & fellowship.  James' were great hosts.  I have a bunch of pictures, Emerald downloaded them, & wouldn't you know, I can't find them.   I'll just have to describe it.  We drove out  to somewhere, and then got on a ferry, van and all.  This was a huge ferry, I don't know how many cars were on, but I know there was a 18wheeler  on it.  Anyway we were on it for approx. 2 1/2 hrs. to a Island. Then we drove around and had a wonderful picnic that Glenda had prepared.    Then we took a ferry back but it was to a different port, probably 15 min.  We just shot the day, wow how often do we do that?  Then finished off with going to Outback for supper.   Friday, we just sat, ate ,chatted, and played games.  Weather was windy but beautiful.   Oh yes, we saw the Hanners Light House.  Cool                                     Oh yes, on the way out we stopped at my Cousins for the night in Ashville.  That is some very pretty country.  

    Hope all is well in your neck of the woods.

    Quilts & Spring 010 Surprise

    Thought I'd let you know that we still on the map.

    This summer has been busy, although I know everybody is.

    One of the highlights were having Garrison stay with Gayle for a few days, and  the Cliftons came up.

    Going to the drive thru Zoo, with the boys. We're still finding corn in the van. What fun to see the boys being so excited.  Tyler was on Davids lap, thinking He was driving He kept yelling at the animals that would get in front of the van, moooove.  Just to cute.
