Hey Emily, this blogs for you.

Hey Emily. This Blogs for you. This is what you get for reminding me that I haven't updated in over a month. I am sitting here in the living room on our new laptop computer. I spent considersble time getting the wireless to work. It would work without the password, but when I set up the password it wouldn't let me get on. Somehow I managed to get 'er done.
This post was started on Monday and today it is Friday afternoon. We have had an incredibly busy week at work, and I am glad to be home for the weekend. This past week has been hectic. One of my co-workers went out of town and left us shorthanded and seems like everything decided to break at the same time. The
Mother is still in the hospital, and seems to be better, but she wants to sleep all the time and is not eating. Her sister Sara from Mississippi came up to see her, and I know she was glad to see her. She dosen't get to visit often. Uncle Jake and Uncle Johnny came up Tuesday to visit.
This afternoon Phyllis called me to let me know that her brother Dwight was going in the hospital. He has not been feeling well lately, and he was dehydrated. I don't think it is serious, but with him you can't be too careful. Her mother had some kind of virus earlier in the week, and had to go to the emergency room on Tuesday. She got a shot and was sent home. I think she is better.
I had to leave to pick up Phyllis from the hospital. We are going to eat and then Alissa will spend the night with us. I am going to try to help her with her Lads to Leaders projects. It looks like it will not snow tonight. I hope the Survivor Retreat gets to happen this weekend. I know a lot of work went in the preparation for it. David called me while we were eating and told me his mother is not doing well and may have to go to the hospital. This got me to thinking ablut all the sick folks we have at church. There are many, I think that nearly every family there has someone that is sick and most have very serious problems. We can only hope and pray that these will get better and that the Lord will take care of them and the ones that are taking care of them.
I guess that is all I have to say for now. I think Paul tagged me for the 5 things since this is my first poas since 2007. I will have to think on this for a little while. So long for now.

Happy Holidays

We wish you a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. As you can see, I have gotten into the holiday spirit. I hope when you are looking at lights, you all will ride by and stop for a visit.
I started out with the intentions of going all way around the house. But after working on it all day, I got lazy and decided maybe next year I'll do that.




Alissa came over to help with the tree, and we couldn't find her Santa and Frosty. I found them later and when she came back over we gave them to her. She found them last year and wouldn't let us put them outside. They had to stay in the living room.
I have been working on painting the house for nearly a year now. Some things are real hard to get motivated to do. Seems like I hunt excuses not to paint. Now I can't finish because of the lights on the eaves.
Miles has been painting Mothers house while she was in the hospital. He did a really good job. The new paint made the flooring in the living room look bad, now we are going to put down hardwood flooring. Hope to get'er done before Christmas. Mother came home last Friday and seems to be doing well. I think the hospital was starting ot get to her. She really likes her new TV in her room. She can read the captions without her glasses. It is mounted up on the wall, and is tilted toward the bed.

Good luck to all.

Robin's Bad News

We have all been waiting the results of Robin's test after her surgery.
Sometimes you don't want to know what you need to know. Robin called Phyllis this morning and told her that the tumor was a stage 4 cancer. This is not good. It is also one of the worse types of cancers that you can have. Robin will have to undergo radiation and chemo therapy for the next few weeks. Tomorrow, she will go home for a few days before her treatments. Phyllis was at her Doctor's office when she called me. I met her there and then we went to her mother's house to tell her. I called David to see if he would go with us. He did and I am thankful. Sometimes you don't know how much having a church family can mean to you until things like this happen. Right now all we can do is pray for Robin and Bill and their two sons Trey and Chase. I know without asking that all of you that read this will do so. It seems a shame that the surgery went so well, and things were looking up for Robin and then we get this kind of news. Please remember us all, Thank You.
