I can't tell you how much fun I have had getting to know Darla and the girls or just how comfortable I felt with them from the moment they got here. What a blessing to not only have a great "blogging" friend, but a sister in Christ and a true friend.

But this one was so cool. It was labeled on the back. This is one of my relatives on my dad's side of the family and this is his very FIRST car. Not only that, but it was the FIRST car EVER in his town in Alabama!!! Pretty amazing!

Day 203 - Thursday, July 22
Mom and I spent the last 2 days going through probably 1000 photos. We weeded them out, put them in groups and then took them this afternoon to a place that is going to scan them all in (all 500 of them) for us. What fun we have had reminiscing, laughing and crying at old photos! But I am glad it is done, my neck hurts!! Now on to the next project.

Day 191 - Saturday, July 10
I should be packing since I am leaving to visit some friends tomorrow, but instead I was canning spaghetti sauce with my friend Wendi. I had so many tomatoes that would have gone bad while I was gone and it is pretty much a sin to lose a homegrown tomato!!!

Day 185 - Sunday, July 4
What a great day!! We had so much fun!
We invited 5 families over after church for a BBQ and swimming. Great food, great friends...what could be better? How about God showing up in a big way? While we were in the pool playing volley ball, one of the women looked down and realized her engagement ring had come off. We quickly turned off the pump in the pool and everyone started looking. But we could not find the ring in the pool, which really worried me. If it had been flung off while playing, it could be anywhere in the bushes and shrubs and the likelihood of us finding it was pretty small. After looking for quite a while, I stopped everyone and said let's pray. So, I said a quick prayer asking God to help us find this ring (the husband was looking a bit nauseous!). It wasn't 2 minutes when my daughter and her friend yelled "we found it!". It had been flung off her finger clear over to the foundation of the house...a good 10+ feet away. We never would have looked there, but the girls were going in the house and it caught their eye......yea God!!!
