Spring!

We have been hoppin' busy with spring time chores. It is usually SO fun! Raising baby chicks, incubating eggs that should start hatching this weekend. Tilling the fresh earth (and playing in it), mowing the grass, enjoying walks in the fresh air & sunshine. In the midst of all of these things we have the less pleasant chores of dealing with stomach viruses, flu , allergies and the added laundry and lack of sleep that go along with those things.

On Tuesday 3/17 our dear friend Miss Grace went to be with the Lord. I had asked for prayer for her in the previous post. Her funeral was on Friday March 20th which was also her 64th birthday. Miss Grace had 3 daughters (and sons-in-laws), 7 grandchildren and a devoted husband, Mr. Marv, please continue to pray for the family.
Today I received a call from a friend of Deanna's that one of their mutual friends has passed on. Mr. David suffered with a rare illness for over a year and we were not surprised at the news of his homegoing. He was a musician and enjoyed the harp very much. Services are this evening and tomorrow.

We had a pleasant day mostly out doors and were able to get some of our garden planted. But now it is raining, so we will finish the afternoon with cleaning and cooking. The children have started a game of 'Sorry'. But I'm going to have to be 'Sorry' to break it up so they can help me clean this house andf prepare a nice meal. :-o Well... maybe I'll let them finish their game. :-)

Deanna is doing very well. She will be performing at a Christian Writers Showcase at the Curb Cafe(Belmont University) in Nashville this evening, her friend Tom Shiness will accompany her on the cello this evening and she will sing while playing harp & piano (sometimes at the same time) . Next Friday she will particapte in a writers night at the Indigo Hotel, I believe Tom will assist her then also. I am planning to go to that event, her birthday is Sunday 4/5, so I will try to get away early to make her show & spend the weekend.

Bradley was moved on Tuesday to Larue County Detention Center, in Hodgenville, Ky. We went to visit him there on Wedensday (1 hour 15min. drive). There is alot of Abraham Lincoln birhtplace history and the boyhood home of President Lincoln in this community so we wil be looking forward to enjoying some of this history on our visits in the near future. Please continue to pray for Bradley.

Yesterday at lunchtime our friends Mr. Bobby & Miss Mary called to invite our family to the Circus in Bardstown. The children were so excited, so we went last night and had an interesting time. Lots of memories.
