Mon.-Rain turned to freezing rain turned to blizzard snow. Susan not feeling so well. Slept a lot. I'm working on cleaning up clutter. Liberty was cancelled. Freeman and Philip saw an accident on their way home from Jamerson's and parked in a safe place and checked on her. She was shook up and her car was in an accordion shape after spinning around and hitting guardrails on either side. Guys are working on the barn today. It's almost 3 and the snow has increased again. It's beautiful. I love it. I think my mother loved every kind of weather because I do too.
Tues.-Michael couldn't make it out the lane. Tail end started going to cliff. He got out and pushed it back and came back home. So glad drama was cancelled and that Susan didn't try to go up that hill. Guys are working in barn, moving freezers to one place. Susan decided to make some goodies for Alli. She's still feeling sick and it's her 17th Birthday! She was born on a snowy day. I'm so glad she was born. I love her and all of my kids so much. Philip got us the new Lone Ranger from the Red Box and we watched it together in the eve. I was cleaning out cupboards most of the day. Feels good.
Wed.-Started making Sunday's lunch. Also made quiche for lunch and turkey burger, rice, and green beans for supper. Did a little cleaning but the guys were in and out all day taking our old shower out and putting a new shower in. When they went under the double wide they found that the shower had not been hooked up. What a mess. Philip and Susan went out to youth and Michael came home and visited with Phil and I for awhile. Judy went into the hospital last night with some health troubles. Hope to visit her tomorrow.
Thurs.-Guys worked around here today. Took Susan out to Farmville to get her car at Bailey's. She got her hair trimmed, went to the chiro., then to the gym, while I stopped in to see Judy for a second and got groceries. Michael spent the evening with a friend. Philip went to worship practice. He is encouraged with J's word to him. Phil, Susan, and I, watched a whole disc of Monk.
Fri.-Guys made sausage, sausage gravy, and homemade biscuits for breakfast. Freezing rain and snow have left a treacherous coating everywhere. Ground is white. Birds can't get into their feeders so I've sprinkled food on the deck railing. The wind ruffs up their feathers and they look like they are having a bad hair day. Susan and I made 7 layer salad for the African mission team reunion this eve. Johnny Brynan is on his way down to spend the weekend with us. I'm doing wash, cooking two chickens, tidying the house, etc. Susan is going to make some peanut butter eggs. Guys are working on fences around here while the weather comes down. I'm hoping we don't have to cancel gathering this eve. (We did.) Johnny arrived safely and we had a pleasant afternoon/eve. visiting and catching up with the latest in his life. He asked about each of the kids and they told him what they were doing. Alli and Freeman came over and had supper and visited for awhile. Johnny and Phil checked traps and Johnny looked at his rocks. They are two peas in a pod and share such rich history. Both love snakes, trapping, rock collecting, arrowhead hunting, God, and adventures. Johnny remembered a story Phil told him when they were thirteen about digging a hole and finding a Christmas tree shaped arrow head. Phil still has that arrowhead. It's nice to have someone so interested in his rocks. He remembers where he found each one. Michael's been playing the guitar, Philip's looking at his phone, and Susan is communicating with a friend. Earlier, Freeman and Susan were tousling, The Three Stooges were playing, Michael was playing guitar, people were talking, I was giving Alli a backrub, and everyone was doing their own thing with someone and Johnny said, "There is so much energy in every corner." I love my family. Such a happy day. It's good to have Johnny here too. He is Phil's longest and oldest friend. He is planning to come down for the Pig Roast before he goes back to Kenya.
Sat.-Phil and Johnny went down to see Phil's cousin, Dennis, in NC. Johnny was so encouraged by Dennis. We cleaned up around here and got ready for tomorrow's meal. Susan went out to the gym and met us in the evening at Helton's for a Kenya Mission Team Reunion. (I had written everything about the weekend earlier but for some reason it didn't 'keep.' This will be a shortened version.) Johnny showed pictures and shared about his life. He is going to start using face book to keep in touch with the team, etc.
Sun.-Clocks spring forward. Good church service. Went to SS for the first time in awhile. Dianna is a great teacher and loves to teach. McIntoshes came for lunch as did Pastor Alvin to meet Johnny. I served chicken curry with rice with 10 toppings. Great time. Nice relaxing evening.
