Today, at the Oak Grove service, we had a treat. Yvonne & Wendell's daughter Robin and her three daughters, Emily and twins Kylah and Katee, professionally known as The Truth or Consequence Bluegrass Band, led our worship time and also sang a special. They had to get their instruments tuned up before church started. 
They were very good and we were blessed tremendously by their talent and the beauty of their music. That's mom Robin on the right.
Grandmother Yvonne is very proud of all of her grandchildren and visits with Emily here before church started.
We are very proud of this picture with The Truth or Consequence Bluegrass Band and apologize for the blurriness... Grandpa Wendell wasn't used to my camera.
There was a nice turn out for worship service at Oak Grove and the offering was also good so we were able to bless the girls with over half of the offering. What a blessing that was for us.
On the KOA for the 11:00 service there. We had another good group even though the park is not very full. Pat & Bobbe Tomme's grandson and family are visiting and their youngest great grandson, Gavin, is just a doll... very quick with the smile and he's also learned he has a tongue and it's gets a good laugh from everyone.
Great grand-daughter Charity joins them. She was all personality, too, asking for prayer for her family as they travel and look for a home.
See what I mean about the tongue? Too cute. And how about his Sunday-go-to-meetin' t-shirt? Don wants one like it.
Got this good picture of KOA owner's mother, Fern, and daughter-in-law Kim, also owner. Fern is a sweetie. We love Kim and Ralph and are so blessed by them. They truly love having us as chaplain and we're delighted to have them worship with us.
Another treat this morning at KOA was friends from Oklahoma, Ron & Mary Hassler and their three grandkids, James, Annie and Bryan. At one time, Ron and Mary were Don's neighbors and Don was blessed to be able to lead them to the Lord.
Little Annie was just adorable and I loved her freckles. I told her what I always told my girls, "Your freckles are where the angels kissed you." Annie was kissed a lot.
After church, things kind of went "down hill." We got a call from LaNae at the hospital with Mama and determined that it is now time for us to be in Norman... decisions had to be made. We packed suitcases and loaded up the truck, had prayer with Lucy and Jimmy and said goodbye, leaving our friends, our beautiful 5'er (and king-size bed) behind for an undetermined amount of time. Pulled out of Branson about 4:15 and arrived in Tulsa at daughter Stephanie's about 7:00 pm. Steph and family had previous engagements so they weren't home before we went to bed, exhausted.
Here is a great place for me to add that I am married to the sweetest, most compassionate man and I am so blessed and thankful to God for him. When I asked him, "what are we going to do?" His immediate reply was, "we're going to do whatever you want to do." For those of you who have ever had an ailing, aged parent, you know why I'm so grateful to have the support and love of my soulmate, my best friend, my husband. I love you, Don.
Thank you so much for your prayers for all of us.
