Here and There...

Wow, I think I have a minute to breathe. We had a wonderful time in Arkansas. Wish we could of stayed longer. The decoration was nice even though it rained us out. I got to see a few cousins I had not seen in awhile.

Then last night we went to the graduation. It was so refreshing to see that their school was still letting them have prayer before it started and before in ended. By the way they loved the video!

We are back on the road probably Monday for Omaha. Stan was a court appointed guardian for an elderly friend, who was a cousin of his deceased wife. He passed away this week, a massive stroke. His stepsons said the funeral would probably be Tuesday or Wednesday. Fred had no other relatives, which is sad.

Ok let’s change the tone. I was pleased to receive a comment from Karen at
Hallelujah Anyhow! that I had received an award. Karen is a sweetheart. If you have never stopped by her corner in blogland, go check her out. You will not regret it!

Here it is:

  2. Thanks for the award. I feel honoured and grateful by your choosing me as one of the recipients.

    As for the first part of your post. That's life - a warm one and a cold one. A happy event (graduation and display of your slideshow) , and now a sad one ( the funeral of your husband's friend).
    Have a safe journey to and from Omaha!
