Virginia Trip
We were in Virginia Last week to visit my son. He has just moved to Virginia. He is the one that lost a wife in February after she suffered a stroke.
He met this lovely lady two weeks after Wendy's death and they fell head over heels. They were married on Sunday April 5, in Fredericksburg. We spent a whole week with them and got to know her quite well. She is a beautiful person, inside and out. She has God in her heart and life and is going to help Scott to get to know God as well. Bill and I really learned to love her. She loves Scott, Cody and Taylor. She and Taylor get on famously. She has a 12 year old daughter who will be coming to live with them after school is out in June. God works in mysterious ways, and we all feel like this was His plan.
We pray for their union to be the best, in God's
eyes!
We solicite your prayers for them as well.
God Bless You All!!

Upcoming Trip
Saturday we will embark for our trip to Virginia to visit my son. We are riding with my sister and brother-in-law. It will be a very long drive. (at least 13+ hours) but with us taking turns driving, maybe it won't be so bad. My sister was taking their little dachund but he has a hurt back, so he will be staying with neighbors. We will be gone app. 10 days. Really looking forward to seeing all of the folks we have up there.
We were afraid we might have to cancel, I have had a toothache for over a week and it has been really bad until Tuesday, the dentist put me on an antibiotic hoping to settle it down ( it has). I have to have a root canal on the tooth and all the Endodontists were booked until the 14th and beyond, so the first thing I will do when we return will be, go to Dothan for a root canal (JOY!) Anyway, the pain is much better, so I will be able to enjoy my trip.
We had pictures made yesterday for a new Church Directory and they turned out so beautifully!! I had one pose made for the staff page. I am only a volunteer organist, and I did not know that I would be included on the page until I got to the Church for my picture. Will post some when we get them!!!
I will be checking my e-mails and blogs and facebook while in Virginia.
God Bless You!!!

Stormy Morning!!
We woke up to a STORM at about 5:15 am. It has rained, and wind blown and thunder and lightning!! The National Weather Channel said there were trees downed in Elba, Al, but we did not see any damage where we live, but we don't have trees in our yard either. It has calmed down pretty much for right now, but they say more will come tonight and tomorrow. We thank God for our safety and pray for all in the area to be safe. I pray for those who have damage and have lost everything. It is thundering heavy again, so more rain, probably.
I went to the dentist on Tuesday with a very sensitive tooth attached to a big bridge. He put a temporary filling (medicated) hoping to settle it down, but it has gotten much worse in the last 24 hours. I have to have a root canal in the tooth and all the endodontists are either booked up or are not open this week. I have an appointment on the 14th but if it keeps getting worse, something will have to give. I am biding my time until Monday, if I can stand it and then maybe get worked in. We are planning a trip to Virginia to visit my son on the 4th until the 13th. I really hope to get this toothache taken care of before we leave.
God Bless you ALL!

Just blogging
I have not blogged for some time. We have been kind of busy since the passing of my daughter-in-law on Feb. 20.
My son has had quite a lot of decisions to make and a lot of work to do to get moved to Virginia where he has a new job.
He and his daughter came by Wednesday on the way to Virginia with one small trailer loaded down with some of their things. The rest are on the way in a big trailer. He was getting his new home set up today for the rest of the furniture and things. Boy, it is a lot of work to change an entire household and life. He says he has started over now and is going to get on with making a new life for himself and his two children that are at home. We are all so grateful to God that he has a new job, he had been out of a job since last August. There are so many without work and our heart goes out to all those who are without a job right now. We have a neighbor, a truck driver, and he has been laid off for about a month now. I know that it is tough.
Jan called today and told me about Lori's little boy falling in the pool, and Lori had to dive in and save him. He is only 2 1/2 years old and does not swim yet. They were lucky to be at home and see him when he fell in the pool. I think they are going to put a fence around the pool with an alarm so that doesn't happen again. Praise the Lord he is okay. No harm or ill effects from it!! God is so Good!!!!
We got our grass (weeds) cut today. They were getting pretty big and the yard looks better, but it still got a lot of dead grass, but spring is almost here thank the LORD! I am ready for some steady warmer weather.
Maybe, I won't wait so long to blog from now on. We have still been spending 2 to 3 hours in Bible Class every day and boy, God is really opening up the Scriptures to us.

Trip finally underway
I am so glad that my son is finally on the road to his new home in Virginia. He has had such a trying 3 weeks since his wife suffered a fatal stroke and then passed away. He had to have two funerals, one in McAllen, Tx and then a graveside in Montogmery, Al. Then he had to fly back to McAllen to pack up his house, sell some stuff, load a moving van and trailer, now he is on his way to Houston, Tx for his daughter's surgery follow-up exam. Then on to Virginia where he had started a new job 3 weeks before his wife's stroke. The daughter is only 14 and it will be very hard on her to make new friends and start over without a mother to guide her. I feel for her Dad, trying to be Mom and Dad, but he is a strong person and I know he will make it.
I have had a hard time, thinking of all he is going through and the fact that I live in south Alabama and so far away. But I have tried to support him on the phone and e-mail.
They will be stopping by to see us on Wednesday on the way to Virginia.
I solicit your prayers for his strength, courage and guidance.
In Christ's Love
