signs

I saw a sign on my trip to Mississippi that said, I'd rather be over 40 than pregnant. Now, I loved being pregnant and having my children. But for right now, I agree with that sign. Besides, my beautiful daughter-in-law just found out that we are going to have another grand daughter. Being a Granny is a lot of fun and easier on the body.

James

When we travel and Can not find a church, we listen to Dr Stanley. Today he is preaching on James. That is the bible study that we plan to do next. Once again, God confirms that this what we need to study. Ladies, watch out, I think that it is going to be a good one.

girlfriend

We started dating when we were very young and have been married a long time. We have been through a lot together..... births, deaths, mortgage, work and the responsibility of raising a family. Now, when we travel, I am his girl friend on one long date.

Sara is coming home

Sara is coming back from three months in Africa and we can not wait to see her. She and David should be back on Thursday. For three months, I had Wednesday marked on my calendar. I sure am glad that David's mom told me the right date. Years ago, when we were picking her and Aleia up from the first African adventure, we were at the airport a day early. It is hard read these tickets, it takes a day to get home and they lose a day. Pray for good weather and safe landing.

Atlanta Speedway

Mark and I got off the interstate and got lost looking for an Antique store. Mark realized that we were close to the Atlanta Speedway. He has been there a couple of times when Farm Bureau sponsored a car. He wanted me to see how big it was. We expected to see it from a distance behind a locked gate. To our surprise the gate was open , so we drove right into the race track area. We got out of the van and Mark showed me the pit, the racetrack, the arena and where all the tents set up. When we left, we saw by the sign that the next race was in 6 days, Labor day. We hit the only day when the gates was open for early arrivers, but before the crowds came. I enjoyed seeing it when it was not crowded.

soccer and tea party

Granddaddy is at soccer with Riley. Becca and Olivia made deviled eggs and are now having a tea party with bears in their room. I love having the little ones here. This is what we come home for.

New beds for all the babies

A couple of weeks ago we found bunk beds for Becca and Riley and they love them. Riley on the top and Becca on the bottom with a light so that she can read. Olivia has been sleeping with me and claims the guest room as hers. With Sara coming home, I needed a change. While in Tennessee this past weekend, we found small bed for Olivia. I surrounded it with Winnie the Pooh and other bears. Today, I picked up all three kids and tried out the beds for nap time. Olivia loves her bed. Becca and Riley laid down for naps with Olivia. Riley was able to stay still long enough for Olivia and Becca to go to sleep. Success... I hope it works a bedtime to night.
