| 2012-04-21\IMG_6802.JPG I almost didn't buy that towel - found second hand for $3. A little much for our budget. But Joel and Rue both have loved it, so guess it was worth splurging on. |

| Mentally .... this is about where I am. Stuck somewhere in March or April - Spring. My brain hasn't even began getting ready for Summer. Let alone back to school! I had planned to do "Christmas in July Cards" - had it all planned. But it isn't going to happen. God continues to provide for our needs - friends have brought us food to stretch our budget, and some of it is from the most amazing places. LaRue got a few extra sets of shorts, and should be fine for the summer. Joel is fine for now - but looking for summer NEXT YEAR clothes - size 8/10s. Though he is so short, that he usually wears his pants a size smaller. Tim got a job nibble last week - a nice strong one. Be in prayer for that. Hoping to post good news later. God provides. Somebody asked me recently "if you could go on vacation, where would you go?" I didn't know. But I think I would LOVE to take the family to one of the Creation Museums. I know of 3. One in South Texas. One in Florida. And one in Kentucky. We had a vacation all set up 8 or 9 years ago, to go to the one in South Texas, and Tim's vacation time got called short and he had to go back to work. We had all gone to Dallas, while Tim did a basket ball camp. But before the camp was finished, Tim had gotten a call, McDonald's needed him. I don't remember whether it was that October, or the one after that, that I found out we were expecting Joel. But I think it was the summer of 2004. Pictures AND an update! Maybe I should zone out at Midnight more often? Please .... Stop in and say hello - I could really use some encouragement and hugs this week. |
