This past week, I was blessed to be able to keep my two youngest grandchildren for two days as their daddy was in training. They came home and mama called to tell us we would need to go to J.'s firtst basketball meeting as she was just leaving Nicolasville and the meeting started in less than 30 minutes. Now I have not driven at night for over a year because I have trouble seeing at night.
J,ever helpful, decided to take me the back way to the church where it was to be held. It was very nice scenery going the back way in pouring rain. She said that I needed to be careful because when we would meet a car the driver of said car would be in the very M I D D L E of the road. I made up my mind that I would go back home the long way . J told her mom that Grammy (that's me) only drove 15 miles an hour.
What's the big deal? I got them home safely and that was all that mattered. I think J wanted me to go fast like her mom amd daddy do.
It makes my heart sing when I say goodbye because they don't want me to go. Yeah for little girls who love their Grammu\y.

I am lousy at keeping this blog going but sometimes I do think of something I want to say.
Folks, we have a very important election coming up and I think it is critical that we all get out and vote. We as Christians need to pray about our decision to vote our choice. I don't care who you vote far but it is important to execise our right to vote. For so many years I have watched our election days come and go and so few of our citizens go vote. What is up with that. If you don't have a way to the polls, call someone. I am sure that people would love to give you a ride to the polls.
Remember we get the one who wins the most votes(lol) so get out and let your voice be heard.

Snow
I have been watching it snow today. It is pretty but not a lot of snow on the ground. It has been too warm for snow to stick.
Now if it gets colder and snows some more tonight we might wake up to white instead of the brown yards. I am just glad I don't have to get out in it.

As 2011 ends, my wish for all of us is for peace on earth, jobs for everyone, shelter and all the things that are needed to keep us safe, dry, warm and well fed.
Be sure to follow God's path for you and will be comforted, blessed and your life will be filled with blessings. My life has been richly blessed with my three children, my 11 grandchildren, at least 5 great grand children and 3 great great grandchildren.
How much fuller can any ones life get. I love Jesus. He who had to die for us to be able to live with Him in enternity.
HAPPY NEW YEAR.

42 years ago today
42 years ago this morning at 3 something, I became the mother of a beautiful baby girl. We named her Kathryn Anne and she has been a blessing in our family ever since. My prayer at her birth was for happiness in her life and health and good fortune. Little did I know when I prayed for health for her that we would spend the first 3 years of her life battling one thing after another with her health. However when we had her tonsils out at age three all that changed and she has been quite health since then.
Happiness shines in her face everyday as she loves her family, her job and every thing and everyone she comes in contact with. I have watched as she grew up into the fine Christian young lady she has become and thank God every day for the testimony her life shows every minute. So today on her birthday I wish her the best of life and that today will hold blessings from above and fun with her family and friends. God bless you Kathy and thanks for making our family coomplete. Love you bunches.

What I was doing 47 years ago today
Can you remember what you were doing 47 years ago today? I can because I was waiting for the most precious gift I have ever received, other than my Salvation from Jesus Christ. This day 47 years ago my long desire to be a mother was realized with the birth of my oldest child.
Let me tell you a little about her. She was born at 5:37 in the evening, a red squalling bundle of joy. As I held her for the first time my prayer was Lord please help me not mess her up. Help me to teach her Your love. And you know somehow she learned it. She has become the most dedicated Christian young lady.
She was oh so active as she was growing up, didn't want to sleep, always into something. She got into the fridge when she was two and got out the large jar of mayo and dropped it on her big toe. I thought she was asleep.
We put her to bed one night and she danced, took apart the bed clothes, did or tried to do head stands so we decided to see just how long she would stay up. I finally had to make her go to sleep at 2 AM. She did not like that at all. Is she still like that? I don't know but we never had a dull moment with her around.
So today I want to wish her a very happy birthday. S. you have been a good daughter, sister, aunt, mother, and wife. God surely blessed me and your dad the day you were born and I thank God every day that you were the one who made me a mother.
So..... hopw your day is filled with blessings from above and fun with family and friends. Wish I could be there with you in person. Just know I am there with you in spirit.
Now I will leave you with a little poem we used to say at church when we had birthdays.
Many happy returns an the day of thy birth
Many seasons of Joy be given and may the dear Father
prepare thee on earth for a beautiful birthday in heaven.
He has done that.

Time flies when you..........?
I just did not realize that it has been such a long time since I have posted something. We have been very busy with two graduations, minor surgery, physical therapy and more. My youngest Arkansas grandchild graduated on May 19 and I was fortunate to be able to attend her ceremony. Sha has grown into such a lovely young lady and is quite the artist. I love to see her work. She will start her journey into life by attending SAU in Magnolia this year on her way to becoming a vet. She absolutely loves anumals.
On May 27th, M who lives with me graduated also. I don't know what he wants to do with the rest of his life but he is smart enough to get it right eventually. Right now I don't know what he will wind up doing.
The next grand child to graduate will be in ten years. Long time in between.
The Lexington grandchildren will be several miles closer to me as S. the dad has just started a new job here in Louisville and they need to be closer to his work. It will be great to be able to see them more often. I am praying for my two little ones so they can make the transition easily. It is great for me to have them closer but they are leaving the onky home they have ever known since they came home from China.
I will leave you with a saying from H. She looked at her mother and said " didid you know Aunt Sandy and Uncle Bobby are still alive? They are mom. Can you believe it?
