Tuesday, January 27, 2009

Today is the 27th day of Jan. 2009;

Tuesday afternoon; 2:30pm..............

(Just a tid-bit of information; some writings added and more info.

Lots of Love!!!

In Christ Jesus,

Sharon

from Sunday, the 25th, Jan. 2009;

Terry went to Damian's this afternoon and picked the girls up, and we

kept them for a little while (knew Damian was having a problem with tires or something, so I left a message for him yesterday for Emily to call me, and then,

she called Stacy and asked if they could come here "after" they left their Dad's.....

so, I took them to Huntingburg after a little while, and we sat at DQ while waiting on Stacy and had some Ice Cream; I gave Stacy some money and asked "why" Claudia was wearing size "5" jeans.........and, she said they were

"play jeans" to come down here so they wouldn't leave their "good" stuff down here somewhere.........and, I told her that those were just "too little" to wear "anywhere".............

the girls played some and helped us get a new dog-house in the pen for one of the dogs; he got loose and the kids were helping us run him down.........it was cold, but we got him and got everything in place!(for "Puppy"......he got loose in all this, and thankfully, ran into the garage, so we could catch him! We got a home-made and very sturdy dog-house for him that a guy makes "home-made" for just $20.00 and very much better than the ones we've been getting, like at Wal-Mart; he makes them out of barrels and puts treated lumber under the barrel and a little alumn. on the top to keep rain out, and I think it will "do" for Puppy better since he likes to chew everything up!!!

It is plastic, but very, very heavy plastic, so I don't think he can ruin it!

Hope not!

And, I gave him his bone I'd bought for him and he was chewing on it,

and having a ball playing with it and chewing on it; thought that would

keep his mind "off" his new house!)

Then, we took some pictures in here and it was so funny........they(Em & Claudia) each had

"doll baby bottles" and were lying on Terry's lap and I took pictures of our "big babies"...........they thought that was fun, then, I let Emily use up the disposable camera and take some pictures of the cats or whatever and I'll get them developed..........

I want a "digital" camera but waiting to be able to afford one.

But, it's on "my list!"...................I fixed them lunch and then, we went to DQ and

waited on Stacy, and while they were still here, I had them "sign" their Dad's birthday card so I could get it in the mail in time, but I wanted their real signatures on it.............they really seemed so happy to do that............

things like

that "warm" my heart for them.

Monday Jan. 26, 2009;

(I have another "dental" appt. on Wed. but I told the receptionist to please

make it early enough that I can get bk to go to Bible Study, so she did, and,

Praise the Lord for that; I missed going to Church yesterday but we both

were not feeling well at all; my back hurts this morning, but I think I'll be

able to get to the Dentist and then, bk here to go to Bible Study;

(added note: for Tues. the 27th, woke up to lots of snow; called and

cancelled Dental appt. tomorrow, in case the weather is still bad, so

glad I got to re-schedule that!)

back to Sunday:

I love the

Bible Studies so very much, and Church, too, and told Rick when I called

he and Dianna that I really wanted to make the last Sunday "sing"..........

I regret that I didn't get to come, and I am wanting to "sing" for the Lord;

To: (Our Pastor at Clark's Chapel here near our home:)

I know God wants me to "do" something, and I think that includes

a song now and then, and maybe 'something' to read.........I have prayed for

a long time for Him to reveal what He wants me to do...........and, I've just

about come to the conclusion that the "answer" is to do "whatever" I can,

and just "be still and know that He is God!)

(Terry and I do sponsor a little girl every month who lives in Haiti;

that is such a blessing, and we've been sponsoring her for some time)

but, I would like info. on the Missionaries that the Church does support;

Is there information on "who" or how you all do that?

from Sunday, the 25th, Sunday morning before Church:

.........(Sunday, today) I don't feel well at all,

but I'm feeling better; Terry woke me up early to go to Church,

but I fell back asleep; Last night (Sat.) I had a 'salad' with my

supper, and I don't think it sat well with me;

plus, after that,

and it wasn't much, but I ate some Ice Cream we had left, and,

even tho' it wasn't much, (Vanilla) and I put just a little Choc.

syrup on it, gosh, my Colon got to hurting me so badly, plus,

then, I had diarrhea really badly after being very constipated

yesterday morning.........

so, finally I did go to sleep, and was

planning to get up and ready to go to Church; well, I did finally get up this morning, about 7:30am, so I did have time to get

to Church, but I still had that awful diarrhea until finally I had

to take 2 Imodium, and I felt so horrible that I called one of the

Couples that go to our Church and told them we probably wouldn't be there this morning, because neither of us were

feeling "well".........

Terry's neck and shoulder down into his

arm was/is hurting; he just came bk from the store, but he had

to take a Lortab..........so, he would/will feel better.

I had called my Emily yesterday (I knew the kids were with their Dad) and told her(Emily) to call Stacy and see

if they could come over here today, just for a little while before

they had to go bk home, so I'm glad I'm getting better, but we

won't have them long, and I told Stacy I'd "meet" her somewhere to bring the girls bk today to her.............

the Imodium is making

the diarrhea go away, plus, I took one of my nausea pills and I am feeling better, but I hate it that we didn't make it to Church,

but we were telling the truth, that we both, were not feeling well

at all...........

I am going to wash my hair and take a bath, so that if I feel a whole lot better, I'll have that done before the girls get here, plus, it will already be done, if I can make it to Church tonight.

Love To All,

In Christ Jesus,

Sharon

from Monday, the 26th of Jan. 2009;

I'm really hoping Stacy keeps her job; she told me at DQ that they have "laid off" some more people over there; I told her "if" that happens, she and the girls will "have" to come down here so they can all get by...........but I hope that doesn't happen as far as her job goes, but it wouldn't make me sad to have them all here!

We're certainly not getting rich by no means, but Terry is working, and we are now getting a check every month from the VA to help us out because of his diabetes; and, the VA is going to pay for all his medical supplies and medications from now on for his diabetes (after he goes for his appt. on the 18th of Feb. that is, when he gets his Card to get his medications and supplies; that will help us a bunch, and we're very thankful)............he first went to the VA to get set up so that when

he finally can retire, he will, hopefully, be able to get Insurance, as the Mine where he works, doesn't provide Insurance after they retire;

Terry's been there 31 yrs, and is going

to be 60 this coming June.............but we cannot afford for him to leave the Mine yet, just

want to start getting things in order so that when he does, perhaps we'll be set up.

The VA won't cover me, but I'm thinking of getting into the AARP for myself, so I'll have

health insurance when he does retire.

I didn't make it to Church last night because after I got

the girls bk to Stacy, the weather was getting bad.......and, I still wasn't feeling great,

but better........I hope all that snow they are predicting doesn't happen; I have another

dental appt. early enough Wed. to get bk for Bible Study, but if all that snow comes,

I don't mind calling and re-scheduling the dental appt. but don't want Bible Study to

be cancelled.

Last night was the last Sunday of the month, so it wasn't "Church" service, but all

singing, and, I would have liked that, but Sat. evening and yesterday, health-wise"

was just not good, so I just couldn't go anyway...........and, I was so tired after the

day, plus, getting the girls back..........Stacy said up towards where she's living(Dubois County), the

weather was worse, and she saw 2 wrecks because of the slick snow that was coming

down.............it wasn't like that here, and today was cold, but I really dread it if all that

snow comes in; Terry said it's supposed to start at 10pm, but it hasn't yet, and he said

they're predicting snow thru part or most of Wed............I'll be house-bound if that happens,

and, not that it's a "bad-thing" but I did want to get out Wed. to the store before the

dental appt. and then, Bible Study..........maybe it won't get so bad........I hope not.

I just got done watching the new season of The Closer episode and my fav. show, which isn't due until March for new shows, has an episode this evening.........so, I'm doing this,

so I could write before that; so I have a half hr..........to ans. email/and, or write.

"Saving Grace" is my very favorite and I still like all the Law & Order shows, but hardly

ever catch a "new" episode.

I used to think I wouldn't like "Saving Grace" but after I started watching it, I really do like it, and have "Season One" on DVD that I got off ebay...............

Terry, of course, has already gone to bed.........

I need to read my Bible more; but it's helping to go to Church, and to the Bible Studies;

Tuesday the 27th of Jan. 2009;

Today is Tuesday the 27th, and we did get the snow; don't know how much more we

will get, but when I went outside this morning to feed and water my dogs, there was

sleet coming down, and our drive-way and of course, the car is covered from it snowing

all night............I called and cancelled my dental appt. tomorrow and had it re-scheduled,

in case the weather isn't better tomorrow; and know that all this snow isn't going to be

gone, because it's just too cold..........

I need to check and see if it's still sleeting........told

Terry I will probably have him bring in the dog pans, etc. when he gets home, as I don't

want to go back outside until I have to, but they were fed good and I gave them, as every

morning, despite the weather, fresh water and their "breakfast!"

On the phone, Sam said they didn't have school at Dubois today, so she has all the kids;

her 4, plus, Stacy's 2.............and, she said the snow there was/is terrible, too;

Terry called me from work and he said they had an hr. delay getting started this morning,

because of how slick it was/is at the Mine..........but they are working; but he told me they

are having to be really careful because of how terribly "slick" it is................

That's all for now.............

In Christ's Love,

Sharon

Saturday, January 10, 2009

This is Saturday the 10th day of January, 2009;

7:45pm

I cannot express how much I am excited about being back in Church!

wow..........we've really missed out these past several months......but,

Praise The Lord! we are back "in" again!

Terry and I went to Clark's Chapel last Sunday morning, then, I went back

that night and got up to sing with my good friend, Dianna and we sang

"In The Garden" and it was a real treat to get up and sing for the Lord again,

and with Dianna; as we both love to sing. "In The Garden" is/was her

grandmother's favorite song, so we like to sing that together.

Terry and I then ate a small lunch afterwards, and stopped at Wal-Mart for

a couple of items, then, went on back home; he wasn't feeling real well, and,

I have to watch what I eat; just have to remember to take my meds before I eat,

and keep the portions small. Anyway, with Church being first, we had a very

good day together;

I went back that night, then to Bible Study on Wed. night, and enjoyed it

immensely! I am so inspired and have several friends to thank for their

encouragement.........so grateful.........and, esp. to my Lord and Savior WHO

it is all about!

I (and, Terry) had really missed "worshipping" with other people; people who

are wonderful Christians..... friends and acquaintences.......it was wonderful.

Jeff (Pastor) gave a wonderful Sermon both Sunday morning and Sunday

night, and of course, the music is always a plus.

Tomorrow morning, we are getting up very early to head to French Lick to

my brother's new Church, The Freedom Bible Church. He invited us a couple

of weeks before we got back in, and Judith Montgomery is going to be the

featured singer, and we want to see her again; she's a true friend, and a

wonderful inspiration.........a wonderful and very humble Christian lady.

I'm going to remind Judith to re-schedule at Clark's Chapel, since she

was sick the last time she was scheduled there; I hope she can squeeze

it into her schedule, as I know the people there, who have never gotten to

hear her sing in person will get a wonderful blessing;

French Lick is a while away, so we have to get on the road early to make the

10:30 am Service. Pray for us for travelling mercies and I have to say we will

miss being at Clark's Chapel in the morning, but looking forward to seeing

my brother and his wife again, and getting to share in the worship Service

with Judith singing.

I am hoping we get back here in time that I can go again to Clark's Chapel for the evening Service. We may stop and see my Grandma; she'd like that.

Terry doesn't get to go to the evening Services right now because of work

the next morning, but like he said, when he "retires" he can go all the time,

and not worry about work and or being tired at work, so he can do his job

well. He said it's real hard to drive his truck in the Mine while being too tired.

And, I'm sure most everyone has heard of terrible accidents in the Coal Mines,

some fatal, and I sure don't want anything to happen to him or anyone else.

To Dianna........Claude (my brother) received Rick's new CD; I called him and

he said he'd been at his Church most of the day and hasn't gotten to hear

the CD yet, but I know he will enjoy it; I know the day I played mine, I called

Rick to tell him I was on the 3rd round playing it and I really like it; Dianna

even got to record one song with him and that is a treat, too, and for her,

I know she is very happy that she got to do that with her husband.

How I would love it if someday Terry and I could sing together; not worried

about any recordings but just to share something like that together has to

be a real blessing to any couple.

My daughter-in-law and I went Tuesday to the hospital at Paoli to see my

Aunt because she was having surgery because of the Breast Cancer they

have discovered she has/had; the doctor talked very optimistic and so I hope

they got it all and she will have no more Cancer in her body; I called yesterday,

and found out she has an appt. on the 15th to hear about the results from

the biopsies from her lymph nodes; Please keep her in your prayers. When

Samantha and I went in to see her, she was very happy to see us. Her husband, and one of her sons were there; my cousin Joy drove them there,

and my Aunt's Pastor from their Church was also there.

After Samantha and I left, we stopped for lunch at a little place there in Paoli,

then, I took her home, and headed for home myself; I had a couple of things

to get, so I stopped at the Jasper Wal-Mart and then, got home at a very

reasonable time. I'm glad Sam got to go with me. We had a good time being

out together.

Yesterday, I went with my friend, Paula, to Evansville and after she got her

prescription, we had lunch and came on home; I got home by 9pm and relaxed while I watched a movie on "Lifetime".........Terry had already gone to bed.

Today I had to go out to get Postage stamps and mail our Jan. House payment,

plus, I went to Wal-Mart to get my Bird a new Mineral Treat (like a "fish-bone"

they have to have in their cages to sharpen their beaks on); it's "pineapple"

flavored! And, with no Pet Stores in Princeton, I was glad they supplied them.

My cat, Nikki, is doing just fine! She was feeling kind of puny yesterday, but,

the day before she had gotten a lot of "something" out of her system, and now

it seems that she must have had to do that to get to feeling better; Today she's

doing great again, and back to eating and drinking! Thank God!

I love studying the Bible and I gather that we'll be on Lesson #8 in the book

Dianna gave to me on Wed. night; is that right, Dianna? (for the next Study

on the next Wed. evening?)

I am astounded as to how many people around here are out of work, and/or

not getting to work much at all; we need to keep all in prayer and hope and

pray their work all picks back up.............God will provide; we all believe that,

but it can be worrisome, because we are "human" so we get concerned, even

tho' we all do have faith that He will provide for all of us.

And, we need to keep our Nation in prayer, and pray the economy picks

back up, and people get to work and will not get so far behind on bills, etc.

so work can pick back up before all had gotten so slow in these work places where

the economy is really an Issue.

Adam Bartlett sent out a letter that his wife, Susie, is in the hospital, I think

at the I.U. Medical Center..........in Indianapolis, and that the doctors do not

know what's wrong with her; she has some kind of infection she is fighting,

and in very bad shape..........Please keep her in your prayers, and that she comes through this and is completely healed. I believe he said she was life-

flighted from Deconess hospital to there, just yesterday, I think, and he is

very worried about his wife..........Please keep Susie in your prayers.

Thank you!

Here is a copy of his letter, and I know he won't mind me sending it, as he

wants everyone who can and will to pray for his wife, Susie:

I am writting you from IU Medical Center in Indianapolis and Susie was life flighted here yesterday after over a week in Deaconis Hospital at home. She is in ICU here and they still have no answers. Please pray.... and put her on any prayer chains you might have or know about. They are keeping her vital signs as close to normal as they can but they are still scratching their heads as to what is causing the infection. She has pnemonia in both lungs and has some type of infection in her abdomen area with her liver not working properly and her fever keeps spiking to 102-104 daily. Serious prayers are needed on her behalf. I will not be checking my email much so understand if I don't respond for a while. God bless and thank you so much for your prayers, Adam

It sounds very serious; and we know The Great Physician can heal her, and

please, please pray that HE does...........

I don't know if Connie (Adam's Mother) is there, but she's a wonderful

friend of mine and a great lady, plus, I consider her a wonderful Mentor of

mine.............so, I know she's praying diligently for her daughter-in-law, and,

would appreciate any and all prayers.........

I have a Praise Report of mine, that I want to share; I'd been battling the

horrible habit of "smoking" again, but Praise the Lord, I put them down on

the 12th day of December and have not picked them back up again, and

I intend to keep it that way; Say a prayer for me, too, that I stay away from

them and I never pick up that habit again; a lot of stress can/had attributed to me

doing it again, but I thank my wonderful Savior and several wonderful friends

who are on my side to never get into that addiction again. God is so good!

My Niece, Mindy, has now been moved to a "half-way" house for the remainder of her stay at Richmond, IN to get a complete recovery of the Issues she was

going through; My brother, who I called today; (her father) said she's doing

very well and will be out by Feb. 7th; Praise the Lord, and also, please keep

her in your prayers; Thank you so much; We want her to have a very wonderful and happy life; she will be 30 years of age soon, and has 4 little children, so,

we are praying that she will be fine when she gets out, and has a full recovery,

of all the Issues she was facing and will get to enjoy her life and her children!

Again, how many times can we say it.........."God is sooooooo good!"

Hope all had a very good Christmas; I know we did, and Thank God for the

wonderful blessings of getting together with families........and friends.

We went to Terry's Mom's house on Christmas Eve, and then, the next day,

on Christmas Day to my son's house and had a good time.............

Also, please keep my daughter, Stacy, and her girls in your prayers.

Thank you...........also, the girl's father, too..........

Well, I've rambled on enough for this time; had quite a bit to catch up on!

Hope everyone's doing well and I, of course, will and do keep you all in my

prayers............my grand-mother had a birthday this past Dec. and turned 95

years old; she's beat Breast Cancer and Skin Cancer; she's doing very well,

and, another very wonderful and loud! " PRAISE THE LORD!"

In Christ's Love,

Everyone take care, and Please let me know, if at all possible, how

you all are doing,

Thanks!

Always, In Christ Jesus,

Sharon

My friend, Candace, sent me a funny page this morning that gave me a good "laugh" and as I've explained in the following...........this morning I needed that.

Please read.........as this will explain what happened to me yesterday.

And, please pray for me............thank you all.

Dearest Candace,

I sooooooooo needed a good "laugh" this morning. Thank You!

Yesterday I "totaled" my car.............although it was a used car, I loved it,

and I had bought it from my daughter, Stacy, for only $800; I only had liability

on it, so now we have to figure out how to get me something to drive.

I was turning left out of a Car Wash parking lot and I looked both ways as

always, but did not see the woman in the white van coming the other way,

and I just pulled out and didn't get very far, and I hit her.

My Colon has also been hurting me terribly lately, but I still think I may go to

the ER to have a check-up from the wreck yesterday.........the air bags came

out, but I think the other lady's did, too, and of course, she has full coverage, so when my friend, Paula, (I called her after I found my phone inthe floor of my car) and after I'd called 911.................we brought my stuff home out of my car,

and later on yesterday evening, the wrecker brought my poor little wrecked car home...............Terry says the motor is OK but it would take some money to fix it;

of course, I'm thankful no one got badly hurt; I ran across the street just after I could get out of my car to see who was in the white van and to hopefully make sure no one was hurt; she was shaken up, but she's OK; she toldthe officer that she'd just go to her doctor if and I also said the same as he offered to get an ambulance. I did call Dr. Emerson's office and he said to go to the ER;

My Insurance Co. told me I have $5,000 coverage for Medical so it won't cost me anything if I go get checked out.............

I didn't get a ticket; theofficer was very nice and also kept telling me it would be OK, it was an "accident".................but I never do that and I have never had

an accident like that..............the front of my car is bashed in.............I will have to just pray and wait on the Lord to provide me something else; I was going into town to run just a couple of errands and then, I was going to go back home and get one of my cats that was my Mom's to the Vet to be spayed;

My friend Paula told me she'd take me and the cat to Princeton tomorrow and we'd get her to the Vet; I was crying thru the whole thing and felt so horrible and so very careless...........I just did not see her coming...........I am very careful and thank God have a very good driving record; perhaps that's why I did not get a ticket.............

The Insurance Co. is taking care of all the paper-work, and I do feel sore and achy this morning...........so, perhaps I should go have myself checked out; last night all I wanted to do was forget the whole thing and go to sleep.

I really liked that little ol' car, and it ran fine; but now I'm faced again with

getting something else to drive.

I guess since I did look both ways, I just did not use good judgment and I pulled out too soon...............

I'm heart-broken, but your funny page you sent gave me a good laugh............

Thank you, and please pray for me and that we can get something else for me to drive.

I Love You,

In Christ Jesus,

Sharon

Written Sunday nite; Nov. 9, 2008

Well, it's now almost 9pm (fast time);

We had Emily and Claudia for the day.

And, it was a good day, very good.

I cleaned the dog pens yesterday, and,

today it was just too cold to get out there

much.........but of course, I fed and took care

of their needs...........

Also cleaned my Bird Cage yesterday.

The kids today thought it was so cute that when

he (the Parakeet) was taking a nap and was singing

and cooing to himself while he took his nap!

Emily helped Terry put junk on the truck where we,

last week, got started cleaning out the old shed here

that we are going to tear down.

And, Terry worked outside today doing some yard

work and getting rid of some of the many falling leaves.

Autumn is my fav. time of the yr. along with Spring.

I don't look forward to Winter because I don't like the

cold, but a change of seasons is pretty nice.

Have Thanksgiving coming up; my kids and grand-kids are

coming here...........it will be a wonderful day. And, I have almost

all of my Christmas gifts either here, or ordered. So, that's a big

plus.

I played a song for Terry that I got at the Christian Book-store

yesterday, and he said it was/is a beautiful song; it is about Heaven,

and how glorious it will be; I love it and it is a Soundtrack so I'm going

to try to learn it so I can sing it in Church; which is something else

we are going to concentrate on getting back to and involved in.

I need that involvement with Church and the dinners and activities.

I used to be a part of everything we did at The Gospel Ministry and

loved every part of it; so, wherever we end up going, I want to do the

same.

I wish I could have gone Friday evening to see The Hoppers as Kim Hopper

is one of my very favorites. But, Paula and I wouldn't have made it back

in time, so maybe next year; they usually come to Oakland City once a

year, so I'm hoping next year, I can make it. My friend from The Gospel

Ministry Church told me they were going to be there.

Hopefully, the extra checks we hope to receive before Thanksgiving will

come and we can get some debts pd. and go from there.

I think I'll get a digital camera and try doing some "selling" on ebay..........but,

I will pay debts first before I get something like that.

Terry will get his Christmas Bonus on the very first Sat. of December, so that

will help tremendously and I can pay things I want very much to get pd.

It looks good for the next few weeks so I want to get all the bills caught up,

and pay off personal loans that are more than due.

It's been a very tough week and I'm glad it's over; and, so glad we got to

get the girls today before Stacy came and picked them up.

I don't know how many turkeys they drew for Terry and me, but we have them

hanging on the 'fridge.............Terry made the remark that we ought to have

plenty of turkeys for Christmas! I do already have our's bought for Thanksgiving dinner; and, we're also doing a ham with all the trimmings;

I remember all the Thanksgivings we've had in the past and I always made

sure I'd do "candied sweet potatoes" for Mom as that was one of her very

favorites.............

We said we'd keep Brian's kids here during the annual company Christmas

Party so they'd have a turn at staying over-night with us; we haven't gone

for the last couple of yrs. But, Terry will get his recognition for his 30 yrs.

that he has now put in with the same Company all these yrs..........in March,

he will have been with the same Mine for 31 yrs..........for the 30th year, he

said he'll get a gold pocket-watch.............

We'll go, most likely, on Christmas Eve to Terry's Mom's house, then, Brian and Sam invited us for dinner on Christmas Day. Should be a good time. I'm looking

forward to the holidays this year, although I miss my Mother so very much;

Dad, too, but I was so close to my Mom that I really miss her so badly.

They're both in Heaven as they were both Saved before they passed away, so

I know I will one day see both of them again.

I need to get to French Lick before Christmas and see my grand-mother(Mom's

Mother) before Christmas............but don't have definite plans as to what day

as of yet.........I keep her informed on what's going on with phone calls/and or

letters.............She has a birthday in Dec. and I think she'll be 94. Wish Mom

could have lived that long, and we still had her here with us(healthy, of course) but she's gone,

but she is with Jesus; Praise the Lord for that!

Now that the kids have gone home, I'm going to rest and see if something is

on TV; maybe............and I may just go to bed...............Terry has already gone

to bed, as he has to work tomorrow;

I had to take a pain pill for my back and part of my side, and I know it was from

eating too much or eating Ice Cream, but it's better now.

I had such a wonderful time on Thurs. this past wk. going to Grand-parent's Day for my grand-children; they were so sad to see me go, and I hated to have to

leave them; we all had such a wonderful time...........it was so precious.

Emily asked me to come to her "Thanksgiving" fest on the 25th so I wrote it

down so I could go for her.........they make a little dinner on their own with

parent's or grand-parent's............then, eat it; I guess kind of like "home-ec"

that we used to have. She said I would be helping her...........and, that sounds

like a lot of fun; have to be there by 8:30am, but even tho' it will be very early,

I'll make it.

My grand-children make life "grand"..............that's for sure!

Please pray for my niece, Mindy; she went to the Richmond Treatment Center

this past Thursday; anxious to get the address and hear how she's doing.

She wanted to wait until aftet the holidays so she could spend them with her

4 little children, but it didn't turn out that way............but this way she'll be on the

road to getting it over-with, plus, I pray she gets the "treatment" she needs, and

will be on the road to recovery.

Better close for now; very, very tired.

God Bless Everyone,

In Christ's Love,

Sharon

re: Yard Sale

Not Much of A Success, but fun. Emily and Claudia were here with me,

and we had 3 people and got one whole quarter!

but, I gave the girls a couple of dollars for helping me anyway, because they

were what made it fun for me; I had heard there was an Auction in town, and

something going on at the Park (flea market) plus, we didn't advertise except

a flyer at Buehler's so it didn't matter...........but, I saved all in case we did it

again.........

I do have several computer things that if anyone wants it, like I know

Clint likes having extra stuff like that; I'd let it all go for cheap.........there's a printer,

and 2 "mouses" and some other stuff........odds and ends.........there's some curtains,

and a set of drapes........but anyway, it doesn't matter, just trying to have fun and

earn a few bucks, but oh well...........AND, I THOUGHT SURE I'D GET RID OF A

BOY'S BIKE FOR JUST $5.00..........but apparently with our location, plus, so much

going on, it just wasn't a good day; Stacy came by with the girls today before they

went home...........that was wonderful...........all my grand-children are just GRAND!

They were eating some noodles and I said to Claudia; "it's gonna take you 3 days

to eat all that" and she said "WOW.....I'll be at your house for 3 days!!!!!!!" so funny......

and, Emily has the cutest hair-cut; Claudia got her's cut some; the length of it, and it

looks very nice, too.........but Emily's is just like something I'd like that would be so

easy to take care of; Stacy said she got it cut at Smart Style at Jasper's Wal-Mart.

She couldn't remember the name of the Stylist, but I'd like to know and I may give

a cut like that a try, since I no longer have bangs........

Anyway, thanks Chris, for writing and telling me you were out of town; hope you and

Leo had a fun weekend!

Terry's at the Store right now; we've had to catch PUPPY several times this weekend.

But, we've managed to get him back into his pen.........I'd hate to see him get killed on

the hi-way, but we're not gonna give him up...........I put BEAR and him together this

weekend in LADY'S pen and they've enjoyed playing together; PUPPY hasn't gotten

out of LADY'S pen yet, but Terry's afraid he'll dig out of it.........but I don't think he will.

He's in there now for the night.

I gave Stacy the bed frame that I had before Terry and I got married; we put the mattresses

in the water-bed and got rid of that water bed mattress; hate water-beds..........but she needed a head-

board and foot board so I gave her the whole frame..........and she had to come down and

pick up a Washer because her's is shot; her Dad let her use his truck and Damian and his

brother helped her load it; it was from Damian's Aunt, and we helped Stacy load the bed-

frame and my son is going to go over and help her un-load it after they get home this

evening.

I have a water-bed mattress pad and also some computer stuff like a print shop pkg.

and a laminating pkg. that's never been opened and a few other computer things, and

a computer book for XP;

Anyway, Terry's back now, and I need to help un-load some groceries...........I'm going to

eat some Ice Cream later; I haven't had any for so long, so I'm going to enjoy some later!

I'm not having much trouble with my stomach as of late, plus, I sure feel better after

stopping the anti-depressant.............and, I'm trying very hard not to give in and smoke;

it takes time and it's hard, but I'm still trying..........

For my Grand-daughter, Heaven's birthday (Dec. 1st; she'll be 11!!!) I found a book she

wanted on "Half.com" and it's brand new so I ordered that for her birthday and she's so

happy Mama found it; she told her daddy (my son) to ask Mama to look for it, because

she said "if anybody can find it, Mama can!" They are so precious........and, I found it,

and it's brand new..........so happy, and it's a Biblical book at that.......so, that really makes

me happy!

I'm so happy Stacy said something about wanting the bed frame; now I have more rm in

my front bed-rm...........I'm not giving up my "Pineapple bed".........it was Mom's before she

needed her hospital bed, so I have it and am keeping it. The kids play in that rm, but I think

I'll make room, maybe tomorrow in there for my Plants; they're still in the garage, but I need

to get them inside; it's getting cool at night and I don't want them ruined.

I've had some of those plants for over 10 yrs. so I'm going to still take care of them.

My Grand-children are on Spring Break next wk. so I'm thinking of having them down.

We are going to have Thanksgiving here with my son and daughter and their kids; they

asked me if they could have it with Terry and me and of course, that would be great!

I was happy they asked and we're really making plans..........and my kids said they'd help

with bringing food! I have the Turkey, but we're getting a ham, too........Terry wants to

cook the meat in the smokers...........it will be great..........I got Sam and Brian (my daughter in

law and my son) a CD from Randy Perry that has 2 songs on it that I hope will make them

think of the Lord; plus, does anyone remember that song "26cents?".........I found my

cassette the other day of it that I have saved for yrs to one day give to Brian, so I'm giving

it to him along with the CD for them both on Thanksgiving; and before we eat, I'm going

to play Mary Perry singing "Thank You Lord For Your Blessings On Me"(on my new CD player which I absolutely love(and, was a Gift) and play almost every morning)..........we will bow

our heads and listen to that song in silence, and that's going to be our prayer.....my idea.

I hope it has an impact on all them..............to be very Thankful for all HE has blessed us

with..........He is an Awesome God!

Plus, we will also read Psalm 100 because it was my Mother's favorite and she used to read

it on Thanksgiving............that's something that I will never forget; and 2 yrs. ago, when she

did make it to Thanksgiving, and she was sick, I sat by her and helped her read it.

Well, I'd better close for now.

Getting tired; wow.......yesterday wore me out, but my grand-kids made it worth it.

I Love All My Grand-Children so very, very much. They are very special reasons I do

so much writing; I'm going to leave my writings for them, so they'll have it all when I'm

gone; that will mean a lot and it will help them a lot to know things and have "Mama's

Journals"..............

Clint, if you do have time one of these days, will you please help me put what I have

written and is still on my Computer on disks? Thanks...........I'd like to leave actual

writings and I will ( I have so many binders and notebooks) but I'd also like to have what I have stored now on disks........for my

babies...........Thank you again, but no hurry............

And, Michael and Christina's Wedding was sooooooo beautiful that I hope so much we

get some copies of pictures...........it was very nice and it was a very beautiful Wedding.

They went to Mexico for their Honeymoon, and I know that had to be wonderful.

Tish, (Damian's Mother) I invited Damian to come over on Thanksgiving if he wanted to,

he said he appreciated it, but I know he probably won't come,but I sincerely meant it

that he could if he wanted to. He's Emily and Claudia's daddy and he's always welcome.

Everyone have a good evening;

In Christ's Love to All,

Sharon
