We need Prayer for our Country

It seems we can't stop watching the news, our country is in such a turmoil , with all that is going on...I know that God is in control, and will carry us thru this, and with us all praying for the leaders in Washington , that God's will be done...no matter what political conviction you are, we just need a peaceful nation, ....we(Irvin & I) were born during the "Great Depression", and we both remember down thru the years, our parents talking of the terrible times they went thru, and we certainly do not want a repeat of those times...so,if we could all find a "Quiet time" and say a prayer for our leaders, I think that we could see a difference.....

"Ready For Fall"

I am ready for Fall, and couldn't wait to put "something , fall" , out...and I know that I got 2 of the pictures turned wrong, and that was another "opps", oh well, you all will just have to look at it that way, sorry...our flowers have opened up, sooooo beautiful...and Dale from the house on the corner brought the Spider Lilies(at least I think that is what they are called) over from his yard,very pretty...he has a "Green Thumb"....the mornings are feeling very fallish lately, and the leaves have started falling from the trees here already, wishing for a early fall, ...Yes, I know this part of Texas just does not have early falls.....but anyway, I am ready for Fall, so "Bring it on"

Friday-10-26-08 Update

got the schedule for Irvin's Colonoscopy; October the 9th, at 10:00, we have to be there at 8:00am, ...he has been cleared by the heart Dr., so we are a little closer to finding out if there is anything with the colon that is lowering his blood count, althought, it had come up this last check on his blood, and as I told in my last update that his potassium is too high now...we are so hopeing to get everything where it should be, (all the levels , at least close to where they should be)...and it WILL happen....put Amy, also , on your prayer list, she is fighting a stomach bug, feeling pretty bad....also little Brooke, as she has it too (bless her heart)...Regina, Jim, have gone to Jacksonville for his job for a few days....hope they have a safe trip....Danny is working the night shift still, I think he told me that he is close to the end of that, and will be back on his reg. one soon....of course, Barbara is pretty tired, with everyone coming and going all hours, remember, Barbara, THIS TOO SHALL PASS....Corene is so busy getting her dolls made for the fall shows they have in Oct., plus everything else going on now, ...She has been so faithful to go with us to the appts., at MD Anderson, and to be there for us while I was in the hospital, her and Dad was there everyday , was a hectic time, as the storm had everything shut down, everybody was just trying to get thru it all, but Thank God, we all made it, like I keep telling everyone, well you know TTSP.....

Grandma, I am so glad to hear that Nancy is back to her warm, safe home; cats are definitely strange little creatures! Well no new news from our side really...just staying busy at work. Ally wants me to post more pictures of her because she thinks she will become famous on the internet so I'll have to do that this weekend =) Keep us updated! Love y'all!

Getting Back To Normal Life

Well its been a very very interesting couple of weeks right? Finally getting back on track here...Recently got power back finally and the internet the other day, so just got a chance to get on here and check in on everyone. Hows everyone doin? I hope the damage wasnt bad for anyone, and if anyone needs help be sure to let me know. So not a whole lot goin on besides getting back to normal and getting rid of trees and limbs. Work is goin good, and I got a date this sat. so looking very forward to that, her name is Rachel and she is living in Hockly, so nice little drive but it will be all good. Talk to yall soon

YEA!!

We are SOOO happy that Nancy is alright and back home!! Thanks for updating us...I was about to send you another kitten..lol..just joking! Well you and Nancy should sleep well tonight!

"Nine Lives"

Well, my face is"Red", my "dead cat" came running in this evening when I opened the door going into the garage with her ears back, like she was so scared, and she was starving...of course, I was sooooo happy to see her, the cat with "nine lives", we really thought that a fox had got her, as there are foxes in the area, from the way the garage looked....so, I am sorry for the sadness that I caused yall, but am happy that she is alive and other than being a little more strange than usual, she is o.k., we think that she probably got scared off , and either hid out, or wandered away., who knows?, but that teaches me a lesson(never too old to learn) to be sure that the door is not left high enough for anything other than her or her cat friends to get under....

"Nancy Girl" -06/2005-09/23/08

Our hearts are heavy today, our cat is missing and we are almost certain that a animal of some kind killed her, as there is signs in the garage that points to that...we usually raise the door just enough for her to come and go, but last evening, I raised it a little too high,not thinking that a animal would come in and attack her, ...we have had neighborhood cats to come and go, to get her food in the garage,...she didn't come to the front window, as she always does in this morn...she comes in and spends the day napping in the house, and since there have been so many heavy trucks coming in to clean up the debrie, she stays in the house all day, then in the late evening she eats and goes out for a while..She usually followed me around in the house, till she decided to find a quiet place to sleep..she was a strange little cat, but she found a place in our hearts, and Bo's also, and will be missed very much...
