We are in Arkansas this
week. Having a great time wish you were
here, isn’t that what they say! We have
several birthdays to celebrate this week.
My son-in-law’s is today the 10th, my daughter’s is the 11th,
and Eden Jade’s is the 14th.
My daughter was planning a
big get together for their birthday but unfortunately it had to be cancelled
due to the weather. See her hubby works
for the Forest Commission and due to the extreme dry weather he is on fire
watch. He can be called out at any
time. And has been, he already has a
bunch of comp time built up, they do not get overtime they get time
off. One day last week he got home at
3:30 the following morning, then up and at it after a few hours of sleep.
Thank God for the rain we
received tonight, it will help tremendously but will not be enough to put out
the fire danger. One of the problems
last week was there was not enough water; they had to haul it in tanker trucks
to fight the fires. Please remember the
fire fighters and the state of Arkansas in your prayers!
We did have a birthday
dinner for her Monday night. We could not
let her 30th go by without a celebration. There were 10 of us in total, Janice, Clint, Cain, Eden Jade, her
Uncle Bob & Aunt Nadine, her dad & step-mom Doc & Gina, then her
step dad Stan and myself. We had a good
time. There are a couple pictures
below. Her birthday is actually
Wednesday.
Happy Birthday to all three of my kids! I love you!
until next time...nel
Instead of worrying about digging up half the country for a bigger oil pipeline, we really need some pipelines for water, so that when one area is flooding we can siphon that water off to where another area is in a drought or having wildfires.
ReplyDeleteI think we take firefighters for granted until we get weather like we've seen recently.
