Mon.-Today's highlight-went to Liberty Station with PBill and Jenny and Steve and Dianna to celebrate Phil's birthday. Lovely time and had a waitress with a powerful testimony.
Tues.-Highlights-out to town with Susan. First voice lessons with Sarah for Suz. She loved it. Went to Belks. Met Dianna and stopped in at Judy's and held Dane of all things! He used to cry and hide when he saw me. Judy's step dad, Butch, passed away this week. Picked up my car from Susan at NL. Went grocery shopping and came back and watched her team win three games in a row. Great fun to sit between Miriam and Phyllis.
Wed.-Highlights-the guys coming home at lunch and having Meredith and Tommy here because they are working at Happy Valley, weed whacking and mulching with Susan. Good catch up talk with Lindsay in afternoon. Went to see Judy and Pearly and Debbie at Butch's viewing in Keysville. Came back to Mom's and More at church.
Thurs.-Took Susan to Appomattox-new nurse practitioner that we loved! She showed Susan how to take care of her ingrown toenail and gave us prescription for antibiotics which we got filled just in case she needed it. Went to Coreys for him to check the Polaris battery. Bought some food and mums at Kroger. Made sandwiches for the guys. Dishwasher quit yesterday. I'm spoiled. Making food for the retreat. Bacon, hard boiled eggs, and mashed potatoes...to make mashed potato soup with toppings of eggs and bacon. Mom and Dad coming this weekend also. Using the last of our homegrown chicken which happens to be the ornery rooster. Hope it makes some nice rooster corn noodle soup. He looks tough and scrawny....(I threw him and his broth to the pigs via Philip and swore him to secrecy.) I cooked and cooked him and he never loosened up. And I made the kitchen so hot. The windows were open and the air conditioning came on. Watched 'The Hiding Place' with Susan and remembered quite accurately the different scenes that I watched 40 years ago at Susan's age. It affected me the same way. Couldn't stop crying. When Michael got home, he and Susan watched CCA's 2008 DVD and we had a high old time laughing and remembering and being a little embarrassed at times. I actually turned red when there was a video of me dancing around with the kids in music. I've lost weight since that first year though. Freeman and Alli's house rafters are up and the plywood is going on.
Fri.-Raced around like crazy to get ready for a 24 hour retreat at the Lake House with ladies. Picked up Gwen and Jenny and we were on our way by 3. Had a wonderful time. Roomed with Ginger. Jesus joined us at the house and things will never be the same. Behold, He makes all things new.
Sat.-Arrived home sometime after 8. Glorious day.
Sun.-Church was good because God was there. Mom and Dad were too and thoroughly enjoyed it and are so glad for what we are experiencing. They liked our pastor and his wife. Had lunch here together and then Tom's joined us for a hot dog roast and supper. We had a nice time visiting with each other. Very tired. Didn't sleep much the past two nights. Judy called this morning. Her brother's wife passed away this morning. Two deaths in one week for this precious family. Jesus, help.

Sounds like you had a very full week! We thought of you guys, and especially Freeman, a few weeks ago when we found a bear on our front lawn. We thought Shadow scared him away but he was back later on. Yikes! Sorry to hear about the deaths; seems like they do come in pairs, or threes or whatever the old saying is. Love from us at Seven Oaks.
