Summer Fun

It was so exciting to watch Jaxon and Jordan play in their splash pool on Saturday.

Zita and I enjoyed watching their fun time.  It was an act of congress to get them  (especially Jordan) out and into the house..FUN FUN FUN

3 Musketeers

Christmas 1959

This is a pix from long ago of my mom (Mary Lois) and my dad (Sterling)_ and my aunt ( Gina).  when Mom married dad, she was only 15 years and 2 months old.  Gina did not want to be parted from my mom so she spent a bit of those years with them.  She said she couldn't stand the thought of Sterling taking Mary Lois way out to that God forsaken country....little did she know then but it was not God forsaken country.  From this marriage sprang six God fearing and loving family life children....Glenda (who was born in a house half full of hay in that God forsaken land (around the channel)), Norma ( a model child LOL .. it's my story), a mischievious Sterling,Jr, whose favorite past time was locking dad in the outhouse, Zita ( a miracle), Ricky (another miracle) and Jennifer ( a perfect  "Baby" in every sense of the word).  So see...Gina, God moves in mysterious ways...No one but my dad would have let mom have a open house, 24 / 7  to friends, family, and ministry.  You see dad married an "angel" and he was happy to let her remain a " ministering angel " to all whose life she touched. 
 
I MISS YOU.....MOM & DAD.
  Heaven is richer with you there, but we sure do miss you both.

Regina

Guess what sisters.  I visited with Gina in her home this morning while the guys were mowing and Regina was still there.  She is home for good.  There was another bombing (this time just down the street) and Dale is ready to get his family home.  Regina and Katheryn is already here and Dale will be home end of July.  

What I was writing to say is while I was there she gave me to give to each of you sisters ..  a key chain from Turkey.  They were so beautiful.  You will get yours as soon as I see you.  The quicker I see you the more choice you will have because all of them are somewhat different,  All are beautifull and uniquely made.  I look forward to giving them to you!

Be blessed... I love you.    Thanks, Regina, Dale, and Kathryn. we missed you

O Well!

My blog won't let me be the boss.  I wanted to make some changes and I can't seem to get them right.

I like the fabric,  but it is not easy to read.....HELP

Hide me O Blest Rock of Ages

This song has been rolling in my brain lately.  We  have been viewing some old vhs tapes and putting them on DVD.  I have my mom's voice rolling in my head. 

Hide me O blest Rock of Ages,  I am trusting, Lord, in Thee
"And when the storm around me rages,  Rock of Ages, hide thou me."

This    tooo    shalll     pass.       My rock, my fortress,  My God, is in control
