Happy and fun day with Moriah and Joshua!

Sure did enjoy being with my tween grandchildren today! Had breakfast at Perkins, then to Good Will and found 'Jumonji' a board game, and two good movies. (The Muppets in space, and the first teen age mutant ninja turtles with real people. ) stopped at Sweetbay and got some 'Merryjong', an instant soup mix that the kids love , and a huge cantilope. Then to the discount store for some beef jerky, four for a dollar! At home we had lunch and played Jumonji and Josh showed me how to play Sims 2, and then put the movies in the VCR but the eleven year old VCR seems to have retired. So we put on the DVD player and watche Lord of the rings, the fellowship of the rings. Then we went over to Chester's house to see how Good husband was doing, and the kids love the place, cause they remember when we visited when Chester was still there, and he showed them all his chickens and doves and cockateels and other animals. they are all gone now. but the huge rope swings hanging from the huge old oakk in back entertained them for quite a while! And the just enjoyed poking around the big yard. Then we went back home and Joshua, who is a budding artist, asked Nana for some drawing tips, which Nana was thrilled to give him! I told him these where all things my Dad, His Great Grandpa, taught me many years ago. He is VERY tanlented! Pretty Moriah showed me some of her cheers., and sang for old Nana, while Nana played the keyboard. She sings like an angel, like her Mama and Aunt Ruthy!! What wonderful Grandchildren I have!!!!  Thank you, Lord!

Busy, busy day!

Early this morning , Whitt's Septic man, Gary, our old freind who pumped our tank three weeks ago, came by cause we where all clogged up again. Such a nice young man. The septic tank was chuck full again, and he had told us that the drain feild was terrible, and it might last a week or a year. It lasted a month. We need a new drain field. Gary said it would be throwwing our two hundred dollars away to pump it out again , cause it will just fill up again. We're going to try to get a new drain field put in. He did empty  the tank out so we could use our toilet for a little while. The Lord Bless him and his familly , we pray!! :)

  My Good Husband saw the throat doctor today at the VA. He had been very hoarse and could hardly talk. He checked his throat, and couldn't see anything wrong, but wants to send him to another doctor to check out his vocal cords. 

  I built an addition to the chicken pen, so the chickees can have a little more room outside. 

  Good Husband seems to be having some memory and cognitive problems. We take it day by day, like the Word says to do. 'Be careful for nothing, but in everything, by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving , make your requests known unto God, and the peace that passes all understanding will be with your hearts and your minds. '

Baby Eric

I watched baby Eric today while Ruthy went over to the church and worked on her pictures on the nursery wall. I need to get some pictures! They are SO cute! The little guy was just great. He is facinated by everything. We went outside for a little while and he just looked and looked at everything, especially all the stuff on the ground while we where sitting down. I showed him the brown sicimore leaf and let him feel it, and a spray of grass with little seeds on the end, and swoshed it on his arms and legs. He is so attentive. He grabbed a carrot tree leaf whilewe where walking. He grabs things now, and holds them. Inside, I sat him up on a pillow, and pulled some beautiful colorful books out to show him. He looked and looked, eyes got like saucers, and had to feel the pages. He's a neat little guy!!
