Terrific Tuesday

Uh oh... it was after 6:00 before I got up this morning.  But I did get in a good bike ride before it got hot. 

As I rode by Mike and Madeline's house, Mike was outside transferring stuff from their motorhome to the park model, so I stopped and visited with them for a while.  Love the Moore's!!  Can't wait to spend more time with them.  Having left the house without my camera (what what I thinking???), I missed a golden photo opp as Madeline came out on the porch in her robe.  Would I have taken her picture?   Naw. ;-)  She was beautiful, regardless of what she says.

When I got back to the Q, Don was ready and went for his morning walk.  He was full of news from folks he had talked to:  Linda (Virgil had gall bladder surgery in August/with complications, but is back at work now), Mike & Madeline(had a great summer with kids and grandkids and he found out from them that I did more visiting this morning than riding my bike..[who, me?]), Dorie (recovering well from knee replacement surgery).  Everyone was asking him if we're having church Sunday.... of course we are!  We feel like we're home.

Talked to Leslie and Mama Trudy this morning.  Both doing good.  Mama Trudy said she felt better today than yesterday and Sunday and eye sight seems to be clearing more since the doctor gave her the eye drops.  She has the sweetest neighbor, Pat, who checks on her regularly and takes her to the grocery store or picks up groceries for her, as she did yesterday, since mama wasn't feeling well.  God bless Pat.  We are so thankful for her.

Don drove down the road to the veggie stand on the corner to see what they had to offer, but drove on by and went into CG to the grocery store because we needed other things.

I'm so proud of him for calling son-in-law, Rick, and affirming him as the spiritual leader in his home.  Rick was overflowing with testimony regarding being obedient and how God has blessed him as a result.  After seeing the video of Rick participating in the baptism of his son, Logan, and his wife, Stephanie, Don just felt like he needed to call him and encourage him.  Rick understands more each day that the greatest legacy he can leave for his family is to serve the Lord and be obedient to His Word.  Please, say a prayer for Rick's grandmother (his grandparents were great spiritual role models for him) as she seems to be very near to going Home to be with her Lord.

We also ask prayer for the CRM chaplains as they start this season.  Especially for John and Judy Long who are serving as chaplains for the first time and their assign-ment is being our replacements in Coffeyville, Kansas to the Amazon.com workampers there.  Also, there will be a new chaplain at Quail Run starting the first of November.  We all need your prayers and encouragement.

LaVon is a little frustrated with wi-fi.  Our aircard is still with ATT because we would have to pay them $175 to get out of our contract to go with Verizon.  Even hooked up to the Wilson antennae today, there is no signal.  Maybe it's just too hot.  It worked Saturday and Sunday evening and I was even able to post the blog, with pictures.

"There are just some things that make life important, like people  we know who are special...and so, we keep them close!"  (from an email I received from one of our special people)

We are so blessed.
