With a Grateful Heart

We gathered together to ask the Lord's blessings. We gather together because we have grateful hearts and want to thank Him for His provision in our lives. We gather together because our hearts are full toward one another. We gather together because we love.

Thank you, Lord, for giving us families and grateful hearts for all you have done for us and continue to do for us. Because of You, we are a family united in love and purpose. We come to you with grateful hearts.

Up, Up and Away

Mama Jo packs on Friday to be ready to fly to Houston Saturday morning.

A woman has to look her best for the trip so a quick set at Flora makes her glamorous.

A stop in Delphi to see an old friend before heading west. Don't these 2 ladies look good for 86 and 93 yrs old?

Deke picks up a pizza to celebrate our last evening together for the 3 weeks Mom is in Houston.

Surprise! Surprise!

For my 60th birthday, my husband conspired with my "New Eve" class at church to surprise me with a birthday party. It truly was a surprise!

And Let There Be Light

I kept bugging Deke to put in a floor outlet so that I could plug in a lamp behind the sofa. After studying the situation for weeks, he finally got the nerve to cut a hole in the carpet to begin the process.

He's feeding the wire down through the hole



Using the electricity behind the kitchen stove, he hooked up the wire

Yeah!

Ah... Beautiful! (And he's cute too)
