an edit:….I forgot to mention that Miss Beth Garner taught me how to fix popcorn in the big popcorn machine on Friday night.  I feel like quite the old pro now.  In fact, I think I need one of those machines for my house!  Wouldn’t that be fun???  Thanks, Bethy, for being such a good […]

Glory!  Thank you Lord for a better day!!  Thank you, too, for such sweet friends who genuinely care about how I’m feeling.  Father God, you are mightier than any pain I will ever go through, with my head or my heart.  How I pray that today is a day I take time to see your […]

Note to self:  first deadly migraine in weeks.  Good that it’s been so long.  Bad that it happened at all.  Have slept almost the whole day since coming home from church at 10:30.  Went to early service.  Woke up with it, and wished I could have just died by 1:00.  Sick.  Just needed to document […]

I can’t wait to see the boys today.  After having them home for two weeks, I was glad to have a quiet house, which meant a clean house, but I will be so glad to see them this afternoon.  To hear about their day, to hear how Chip’s first day in Symphonic band was, how […]

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!  I’ll type more tomorrow, but I wanted to include the link to the photo show from tonight’s festivities.  I’m really sleepy, so I’m going to bed for now.  The link from our very fun evening is http://photoshow.comcast.net/watch/cP6Fs5Yk .  The kids had a “blast” in more ways than one!
