Hello!!!

Etta, I am definitely praying for Ivalou.  Bless her heart, that has got to be miserable.

The anniversary thing sorta worked itself out.  My MIL isn't big on having attention directed at her, and she said she would rather just take us and the kids to the Knoxville Zoo or Cades' Cove or something.  A couple of little day trips in the next few weeks.  So no planning for me.  YAY!!!!!

Good Morning Everyone, Where have you been?

Etta Sue I have been praying for Ivalou, how is she today? Did you get her some Gatorade to get her electrolytes back up. 3 days in that condition is too long not to have gone to the Doctor.

Al I did not know that  you have worked as a Security  Guard since I have lived up here. I only remember you driving for the Dine out group when I first came. You do get around don't you? 

It is raining again and I was going to mow today Yesterday my nieghbor was mowing and did part of my front lawn. GRR. It sure looks funny.

Doing a load of laundry already this morning, still need to vacuum the living room. Not much else is planned for today except to read the chapters for my class on Financial Peace taught by Dave Ramsey video. We are not having class this Sunday night as it is Mother's day.

Janet how are you and Darrell feeling? Are you over the sickness?

Yup, Marilyn, I was security guard at Eureka Adult School just before beginning with Dine In.  I also did Dine In down in San Jose for quite a while, and i also did security guard down there.  I morph easily.

I haven't talked to Ivalou today but she said yesterday she felt a little better and was sleeping a lot.  I printed out from the internet about food poisoning.  I am almost positive that is what she had.  And my SIL took her some Gatorade but as of last evening she hadn't eating anything since Wednesday night.  I am going to 60 Chix at noon but I want to call Ivalou before to see if she needs anything while I am out.  Bless her heart! 

We had a little excitement last evening.  My SIL knocked on my front door..inside door was open and I was about 4 feet from the door.  Didn't know anyone drove in my drive and she scared me to pieces.  Anyway when I opened the door she said she didn't know if she should call 911 or not...there are two boy and two girls about a block from my house...one girl was sitting on the edge of the road.  One boy was driving and drove off like a bat out of ****.  So she did call 911.  The car came back and was sitting on the road with just his parking lights on and you could hear them arguing.  Finally the police came but I don't know what happened.  I have no idea where any of them are from. 

I am all done with the chores I had to do. I have printed out a whole bunch of business cards and labeled products that I am taking to the Women's Health Fair next Saturday in Eureka. I also had to make a sign that the products on display are not free samples.

I need to go to the store and get a few things that I forgot to buy yesterday. When I go to the store I don't like to wander around and look at everything, I like to go in get what I have to get and get out of there, otherwise I spend too much on stuff I didn't really need. I usually shop with a list, but stopped on my way home without my list. My back has a branch in the grocery store, I was at the bank when I decided to shop. Bad idea.

poor ivalou. etta sue, what a frightening time.

happy mothers day, friends.

Happy Mother's Day to all the mothers here.

And lets remember those who have already gone on to be with the Lord.  My mother has been gone 6 yrs now.  Not a day goes by that I don't miss her.


Later,
Samantha

Well, the weather station said "mostly cloudy" today, but, at least right now, it's a beautiful sunshiny morning. A good friend of mine will be doing the preaching today, so pray for him and for all of us that we will be built up and become more obedient to our Lord.  The memorial service yesterday went well.

Just stopping by to wish a very
to all who qualify here.   

As Samantha already noted, I have been thinking of my mother this morning.  In fact today is the anniversary of her death 18 years ago.  My mother died on Mothers day in 1989.  We said "That's just like Mom ... making sure we never forget her!"  And we haven't. 

Jane my grandmother  died on Mother's day 1973

Happy Mother's Day!  The church was full this morning.  Almost standing room only.  Good!  I had lunch at KFC for Mother's Day.  Then I shopped at WalMart.  Saw a lady I used to work with and we chatted awhile talking about the old days! 

Then I came home and...I hate to say that I did this today...Sunday ....and Mother's Day...but I mowed the yard.  At least it is done for another few days. 

I have to have blood work again tomorrow and later see the ENT surgeon.  Keep praying 'benign' for me, please!

I hope all of you are enjoying your mother's day. As for myself I received a gift at church for having the most children (5), it was a big bag of citrus smelling potpourri that I put in my mother's crystal bowl on my kitchen table.

here was a message from Gilbert on my answering machine but I have not been able to reach him on any of thier phones. I have been invited to a barbeque with one of the largest families in our church so I am going there. The kids an get me on my cell phone. I know I won't hear from any of the other 4 kids, I never do.

The dogs have had their walks on the beautiful sunny day. The wind is a little cold butnot too much.

Thank you Samantha for your message.

hi, friends, we tabled mothers day til later. son has been so good as a caregiver - even put on my compession stockings, took blood sugars.

etta sue, still praying.

love to all - you're so 'family' to me.

Hi from a cloudy/sunny/dry/wet island (and that is only one day)!

We went out for Mother's Day last week, so I am alone at the moment....tho' not giftless.  Nice card and gifts and a card to go shopping for clothes....so might do that tomorrow if sunny in Victoria.  Sort of got spoiled, that's for sure!

Amanda turned 20 on May 10th.  She was born on a Mother's Day.  That was pretty exciting as she is my only grandchild.  Guess there won't be any more teenager jokes now....This is sort of a momentous year, Amanda turned 20, next month Wendy turns 50, in September I turn......GAD! 

Anyone see the programs on CNN and 20/20 that were dealing with Religion and Faith?  If they come round again, well worth taking a look.  There seems to be quite an interest in the subject lately....some good, some bad.  Could be it will at least draw attention to things that matter.

Here is a small smile:

Things To Think About:

Insanity is inherited -- you get it from your kids.

It now costs more to amuse a child than it once did to educate his father.

It rarely occurs to teenagers that the day will come when they'll know as little as their parents.

Money isn't everything, but it sure keeps the kids in touch.

Never lend your car to anyone to whom you have given birth.

                                         

Sort of ties in with this being Mother's Day!

Pleasant Day/Evening and God Bless.

Hello all!

We had a graduation reception/luncheon/ceremony today for my niece Shay.  She has been homeschooled since third grade and finished this year.  She wants to go to our community college for two years, then transfer to a local college and major in physical therapy, then her dream is to go to Duke and get a master's in exercise physiology.  Maybe I can be her pet project and she can get me into shape.    hahahaha.  It will take more than a masters for that.

Marilyn, I am praying for you this year that some of the burnt bridges will be rebuilt and that this will be a year of healing between you and your other four.  I know your life has not always been like it is now, and I don't know if that adds to the alienation between you and them, BUT, I do know that God is the Great Healer and it isn't just physical ailments that He can heal.  Keep looking at Him, and He will keep looking for them.  Love ya, gal.

I'm fortunate to still have my mother with me.  I truly do appreciate her love and guidance.  I miss my grandmothers terribly, though, sometimes.

Bernard went to church today for the first time since before the surgery.  I think it was  a bit rough on him, though.  He looks kinda pale and seems really tired, now. 

later!!

k.

I'm back ... I was home alone today, as in every day, but I did receive phone calls from my two girls. 

I agree with Ruth Ann that all y'all are my family!      I love family.

My sister (who has no children) sent an ecard to let me know she is thinking of me.  I guess she feels I was her "mother" since I'm 9 years her senior and basically "raised" her.  That's another story all to itself.

I went to church this morning and a sweet young boy gave me a beautiful multi-colored carnation as I was leaving.  I came home to a message from Joy on my phone answering machine.  Then Dot called me on her way to a meeting to wish me a happy mothers day ... Later Joy called again to speak with me in person.  She spent the day in San Jose with John's parents and family for a big  get together.  She said she will call me again tomorrow, when she iis back home, and we will have a longer visit via telephone.

Life gets tough sometimes but that's just the time the tough get going!    

I am still praying for all y'all who are going through difficult times.  I know ... I KNOW ... God is always on time with the answers to each problem we face.  Karma tell Nards I am really proud of him for making the effort to attend church services even though his physical strentfh was taxed.  I am proud of YOU, too., my friend.  You have and do exhibit the love of Christ in all y ou do and say. 

Etta Sue, please let IvaLou know that I am praying for her.  How terrible to be sick and without immediate help.  I believe God will intervene and completely restore her to perfect health.

All  the rest of y'all ... Please know that I am here and caring for each and every one of y'all.  God knows our hearts and every need and our heart's desire ... He understands when we think no one else is even aware. 

I will let y'all go and continue with a blessed day with the Lord.....

Later .... Jane

Happy Mother's Day. 

I heard from my son and daughter(Sue)   then later we got a call from a friend and we had dinner out again, I truly think it is time I stayed home and ate my own cooking, as it will be nice for a change.

see ya'll tomorrow.

Time to lock the door!

Hope all of our mother's had a wonderful day!
