• THIS AND THAT

  Today I was visiting other blogs. All of them interesting.  First of all I seen something that reminded me of Mississippi when I visited there.  Pictures of Kudzu vine covering dale and glen and trees.  In one story I heard when the people from Mississsippi don't have anything else to do they watch the kudzu take over the town.  Athough I found it very pretty when I first seen it, I soon learned that the people down in Mississippi did not agree with me  I've heard that once you have it you can't get rid of it?

  In a newspaper article I read one time, they had found a  small patch in Oregon and they wouldn't tell anyone where it was for fear somone would try to spread it.  Maybe next time I take a picture of Mt. Hood it will be covered with Kudzu.

  I found blogs that were devoted to photography.  I enjoyed them.  As I was going from blog to blog and as I read down on this one blog, I seen a piture of a wedding in North Carolina. Of course I'm always interested in wedding, picture 1:  the bride and groom, picture 2: the bridesmaids and when I got to picture 3 or4 I looked and looked again, and lo and behold there was a picture of my oldest daughter visiting with a friend.  It was taken in April this year,  Look around folks you never know what you will find on these blogs, may I say espcially Xanga.

  My oldest daughter, Robin, was here for visit from the 8th of July to the 18th. The time went so fast, as we looked at pictures from the past, as we visited and listened of course to Pop tell stories from the past.  (I wish I had a memory like Pop) he remember every little detail wheather it happened or not....... I'm kind of naughty in saying that but he's one person that loves to tease and we love to tease him back.  But I must admit he has a wonderful memory.  Robin spent time baking cookies to put in the freezer, she also made a couple casseroles to put in the freezer, she went to therapy with me 2 or 3 times.  The therapist says she love it when families get involved. We wondered what she would do if all 9 appeared at the same time, Knowing my family they probably would if they all lived close enough.....

  On Wednesday the 18th we had to put her on the plane to send her home.  I miss her but I realize she has a family to take care of in PA.  Robin's one son is married and living about 2 hours away.  The rest of the family live in PA.

  This afternoon we got a visit from one of the Troyer families living close by and we also got a phone call from daughter #4 (Laurie) and she said her and her husband were coming for a few days.  I asked her if she would still love me, if I found out my problem was all in my head,.  She assured me she would,   Of course it might be if my brain isn't sending the right signals so I can talk and swallow.

  You've heard it said that if you don't use it , you'll loose it.  Which means if I would have talked more, I might still be able to talk. 

  I can joke about it but inside I cry.  I want so bad to do the things I used to but I'm at least glad beyond all alse that God is in control.  What do people do without God?  And I want to spend the time when I have to sit down, doing something for Him.  Which bring me to another thought, I would like to be able to send cards to someone who needs a secret friend or encouraging....It's just a thought but if you would email or message me with the address of someone you know and a little about the person I would like to send them a card.  I live in kind of secluded area, with not many people around that I know, plus I can't talk very good , so I thought I could at least do this.

  WE NEED NEVER TO BE ASHAMED OF OUR TEARS. THEY ARE TO OUR HARD HEARTS AS SUMMER SHOWERS TO THE BLINDING DUST OF EARTH....CLEANSING, CLEARING, CALMING.

  POUR OUT THINE HEART LIKE WATER BEFORE THE FACE OF THE LORD.   Lamentations 2:19
