I wish

I wish I could-----go outside but it's raining. 

I wish my daddy would play with me, I wish I could have ice cream for breakfast. 

I wish--------

Mother's Day!!

We had a good time at church this morning. The kids sang. We had baby dedication. There was flowers to the oldest, most kids, and most kids and grandkids. Then the moms told stories. It made me think. 

I remember this child physchrist that said it was ok to yell at your kids. 

As long as you didn't get personal. 

I did not understand. How can you be not personal while correcting your kids. 

Here's how!!

Your kid is dumping his milk all over the floor. This is what you yell----THAT BEHAVIOR IS NOT ALLOWED IN THIS HOUSE!!!!!!!

The behavior is bad---not your child. 

My kids are special. They are independent and I love them to pieces. 

Love you two, Mom

Rain!!!

Anniversary!!

Our 55th Anniversary was April 14th. Jerry was in hospital having a procedure. And that's ok. We had gotten our gift 2 weeks earlier. 

Thirty years ago we decided to get something for the home on our anniversary. That year we got a huge water fountain. It lasted 20 years.  We've gotten another fountain, a new recliner, a love seat, lots of other things I can't remember. 

This year we got this

This storm shelter has steps-instead of a ladder- and is 6 feet tall inside. 

Now, we have to decide what to do around the cellar. 

I really pray we never have to use it, but Jerry was so concerned and worried about not having shelter. He hasn't mentioned any worries since they put it in. 

Storms again today. I'll let you know. 

Nap Time!!!

OKC memorial marathon

20 years ago last Sunday the Murah building was savagely bombed by terrorists killing 168 adults and children. 

Today, a week later, the city has a memorial marathon beginning at 6.30 central time. 

Our Lynn, Nonie and Andrew are 3 of the 25,000 running. 

I tear up every time I think of all those children killed. Of the mothers and fathers gone. Of the sons, daughters, aunts, uncles and cousins that didn't get to do all they were meant to. 

Then I remember that God had a reason even as the blast tore thru that building. 

And I am at peace again.  

Hospitals----ugh!!

For the last two weeks we have been in and out of hospital with Jerry. But I have a feeling he's doing better. PTL!!!

Our Daughter and our Son. They have been so helpful. Our Lynn lives in the same town as us so the burden of 

visiting, providing food, going to store and pharmacy has fallen onto her. But Dave has called every day to just keep up with what's been going on. Both of them showing how much they love their dad. 

Yesterday was our 55 anniversary, Jerry had a procedure to help and it has changed him a lot. He actually is not hurting or depressed. 

I remember two other times we weren't together. Our first he went fishing. I was very upset. A new baby, and he went fishing. But he made up for forgetting over and over. And the other was when we were in Tunisia and we had planned to go away for overnight anyway. But one of the offshore rigs asked for him. He went and I went out to eat with friends. The boss and his family came in to eat and H. O. Backed out of the door. He came and apologized. But life is life and we had our days away.  

This is Dave's furry persons house. It's 6 feet tall. Well Baby Girl is a Great Dane so she needs a big house. Last night when Dave called he told us about the squirrell.

Oops!! This is Bella. Our Lynn and Keith's furry person!! 

Let's find a picture of Baby Girl!! W

This is Baby Girl!!  

We have to put Bella in Sarah's house so she won't get into trouble. 

She may be small but she's got a big voice.

Baby Girl killed a squirrell yesterday. By the time Dave got home she had flattened it but she didn't bury it. She left it in her bed in her new house. 

Furry People are as strange as we are!
