Well, about 6 hours from the time I am writing this, we are headed to McKinney TX to visit with Paul, Autumn and the grand kids. This will be our first time meeting Autumn, Sam, Dawson , Hunter and of course Trystan. Plus, we'll get to see both Clay and Ashlee, since Ashlee is staying with them through this month.
We are excited and a bit nervous. But I am certain it will all be just fine. I'll post some pictures either while we are there or when we return.
On a side note...
* My niece's daughter - Lindsay - won their first round in the girls softball tournament and will be headed to ID for the regionals. If they do well there, they could find themselves in Williamsport, PA for the Little League championships.
* We have some wonderful friends who are taking care of Eli while we are gone. This is a new adventure for him and them, so while you say your prayers, say a short one for them. THANKS Jon and Paula!
* We have had some much needed rain here the past couple of days. I can't tell you how dry it has been, so this is a welcome sight. Last night, the storm was strong with a good deal of lightening and high winds. Fortunately for our neighborhood it looks like everyone fared well.
* I sent in an essay to AARP for a contest they are holding, plus I have two more that I am hoping to submit to different publishers when I return. In addition, I am working on a possible newspaper article about our church and have finished a semi-final draft for a discipleship booklet. Boy, my fingers are tired!!!
We hope all who read this family blog are well and happy. That God's blessings are abundant and the joy is overflowing.
*** Oh Yes....RIVEN, a new novel by Jerry Jenkins is due out July 22... be sure to pick it up. It's a great book.
Love to all.
