Blessings from the Lord

Here it is .....another brand new wonderful day to praise the Lord.

I feel so good it is almost frightening. I visited my friend Patsy yesterday and we had lunch at her house with her husband, Earl, who still has not found a job after he quit his last one...oh, well, we don't want to get into that conversation.
Anyway, we had such a good time. She is going to her huge family reunion in Apopka on Sunday and asked me to go along. I think she needs someone right now so I have agreed to go along. Told her I should not because I am not family but she says I am the sister she always wanted. What can you say to argue with that?? ha ha Anyway, it is kind of a "ministry" for me on that day.

Went to Lowe's yesterday and started pricing appliances that I need at MY NEW HOUSE...ha ha....for some reason that sounds so very good to me. Maybe it is because I had to get used to the idea and maybe because the fam was all there at one time to talk it out and to make the decision and maybe it is because God made it so evident in the matter of everything falling together so well, that I know He is in it. What a blessing! Called Evelyn to get measurements on space for the fridge and she was kind enough to get them for me. huge area.

used my treadmill today and yesterday.,.,..only 30 min....but that is alright for now. am building my strength up and am looking forward to increasing amount of time. I am taking it at my pace and I will know when I should do whatever.

Tim, remember how Thomas gave you all his attention when you were here? because he was pouting with me for being gone so much? well, he is back to loving me again and taking naps in my lap....the spoiled brat. how funny is that????

Paid my estimated tax today to IRS. David has me doing that this year. Man! Don't understand that because he has me do in one year and then not the next, but I certainly will not question him on that stuff. But if Dad were here, he would say, "We've spent enough money now, let's slow down." ha ha

Am so thrilled that Teresia and Jamie are both going to be in West Palm for the pageant. Can't wait to see them. Miss the fam up there so much. I will have to pray up the profit on the stock market to go up alot so that T and T can retire early and visit us more often. Just hope I am around to see that happen and can be here to enjoy it all.

JC called me last night. He had made chick and rice and it had too much liquid still in it, so he asked how to get rid of it. I told him. Wonder how it turned out. have you heard from him on that, renee?

I find myself sitting in rooms and looking at them and wondering what is going to the new place and what is not. And that is when I realize what a lot of STUFF we have in this house....now, did you see that word...WE...because some of it is stuff that dad had accumulated too, not just me, although I have done a good job on my own. Anyway, lots of thinking is going to have to take place before this house ever gets sold and cleared out but that is years from now, for sure. I think, from now on, Tim, that you may have to drive your truck down here when you vacation. ha ha

Guess I will go for now....Mom
