sign #2

Another sign that I saw on my last trip was on a pillow and it said, " love may be blind, but marriage is a real eye opener." It made me laugh and I bought the pillow. We were with my brother Glenn and his wife Lynn. Between us, we have been married 70 years. I really enjoyed watching my brother with his wife. All week they played a magical game that made her feel special. When was the last time that you made your spouse feel special

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.
