Our Weekend With Jace: All Boy!

I LOVE this picture

You might be a redneck if...

Your grandbaby is swimming in a trough!


He had a blast!




I can't figure out how to move this picture to the bottom - he made it in the water!

So Cute!



He loved being dipped in the creek! He kept saying, "Jace's turn" - he wanted to do it over and over. I think he would have loved it if we just dropped him in - NOT!


He wanted in so bad!









Jace and Auntie Em: even a boy can appeciate the sweet smell of flowers!

He loves to pretend he's a puppy!

He loves to play in that cage!

Wow - Heber's Twenty-five!

Heber, my second born, turned twenty-five on Saturday. A quarter of a century - wow! He didn't want to do anything on his birthday. He told me several weeks ago that he wanted just one thing: Ashlei. I'd give just about anything if I could give him that.
So, we swooped down upon him Sunday evening. We were all there except Milton cuz he had to work. We took taco salad, cake and icecream, and a gift. It was a lot of fun! We ate, talked, laughed, made a lot of noise, and just really enjoyed being together.
There is nothing in this life more precious, more important, or that can bring more happiness than family.
I love you guys!

My New Client

I have a new client. She's a forty-nine year old woman with terminal cancer. She's on Hospice, and we are there providing a personal attendant. She is AMAZING. She lives in a shack- she has almost nothing - and probably never has. When I sit with her in her little bedroom there is nothing but a calm and peaceful feeling. She talks about dying without reservation; she speaks candidly and honestly. I told her today how amazing she is, and she told me nobody has ever told her that before. Wow. What an example she is to me of faith and strength.

I am better because of her.

Chalk It Up To Hormones

So...my life is boring and unimportant, and who cares anyway?
