Lunch with a Good Friend

Jimmy and I had a nice visit and lunch with a good blogger friend of our's last Thursday.   We met Rachel at Denny's Restaurant in Mt.Vernon, Ky  near Renfro Valley;  a good place to meet and to visit.  It rained the whole time that we were there, never letting up for an instant, so we all had a long ride back home in the rain but it was worth it seeing Rachel again.

Rachel has a very popular and enjoyable blog, Sliding Through Life.   Visit her sometime and I'm sure that you'll love her as much as we do.

Celebrating with Brian

We celebrated Brian's birthday at Golden Corral with his family and I think Reva paid the waitress to cut her out of the picture :(  Reva was sitting next to Brandon.

Talking Centipede

I thought we could all use a cute, clean joke this morning, something to make us all laugh.  Don't know who wrote it, but it's cute and I liked it.  It's kind of stupid, but it made me chuckle.

The Talking Centipede

A single guy decided life would be more fun
if he had a pet.

So he went to the pet store
and told the owner
that he wanted to buy an unusual pet.

After some discussion,
he finally bought a talking centipede,
(100-legged bug),
which came in a little white box
to use for his house.

He took the box back home,
found a good spot for the box,
and decided he would start off
by taking his new pet
to church with him.

So he asked the centipede
in the box,
"Would you like to go
to church with me today?
We will have a good time."

But there was no answer
from his new pet.

This bothered him a bit,
but he waited a few minutes
and then asked again,
"How about going
to church with me
and receive blessings?"

But again,
there was no answer
from his new friend and pet.
So he waited
a few minutes more,
thinking about the situation.

The guy decided
to invite the centipede
one last time.

This time he
put his face up against
the centipede's house and shouted,
"Hey, in there!
Would you like to go to
church with me
and learn about God?"
.....

This time
a little voice
came out of the box,

"I heard you the first time!

I'm putting my shoes on!"

Happy Birthday Brian!!!!!

You've reached a Milestone in your life Son, and it's very hard for me to believe that I have a child your age.  The years have gone by much too fast.  I still think of you as that cute little boy who teased and picked at his sisters, and ran off with their dolls just to watch them scream.  You were so inquisitive always taking everything mechanical apart just to see how it worked.  I miss having you around and I miss that little boy, but you had to grow up and become a man.  I wish we could get together more often, but I know that it's not always that easy for you.  I'm proud of you, I miss you, and I love you very much, and I hope that you have a very Happy Birthday!

See you on Saturday!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY! 

Jerry, We Love You

I can't believe what a beautiful day this has been.  Every day the air gets warmer and softer and today was a perfect day to ride.  The weatherman has been threatening us with rain every day, but it's not happening. I don't even see any clouds in the sky.

We're all still praying for my step-brother Jerry who is not doing well.  He's still in a coma-like condition after a relapse from his initial stroke.  Jerry was doing so well in rehab, even beginning to stand up and take steps with some help from his big brother, and then he had a turn for the worse.  Jerry spoiled us with his great progress and now we want him to do it again.  We want to hear his laughter and read his facebook jokes and messages....and I want to hear his voice when he calls me just to talk.

Things are not looking well for Jerry today, with one problem after another arising.  He needs our prayers, the family needs prayers. God, if you are listening, please take care of Jerry.  Be by his side to soothe any anxieties that he might be having if he is aware of things, show yourself to him and keep him comfortable and unafraid during his time of crisis.  Watch over the family and help them cope with all the bad news that they are receiving.  Help the doctors to find a way to heal Jerry and to bring him back to his family.  In Jesus' name I pray and ask for your help.  Amen

Hello.......

It's been a while since I've written anything on here.  I come here today only because Jimmy is out riding his motorcycle.  It's one of the prettiest days that we have had in a while, at least since yesterday.  Yes, yesterday was also a beautiful day.  The fact is, that we haven't had any winter weather this year except for a few snowflakes that blew around one day...one day.  It's the kind of winter weather that we have  often wished for, or at least that Jimmy has wished for.  I like snow myself but Jimmy hates it.

February is generally one of our worst winter months but it is almost over and soon it will be March, and there are lots of good things happening in March.  One of those good things is my son's birthday on March 2nd.
