Family time

We went to the local park yesterday afternoon for a picnic. Potluck with the family. We had a great time. Missed Scott's girls - Katelyn has strep throat and Jessica thought she might be getting it. Hopefully, we'll get to see them later this week. We enjoyed roasting hot dogs and marshmallows - Abby & Stephanie roasted a couple to perfection; nice light brown where the insides come out and leave the shell - yummy! Then the family played volleyball. We had a blast! We were at the park for almost 5 hours! Thank you God for a beautiful day and a beautiful family.

What a great country!

I can't believe I missed the month of June. Time is flying by so fast. My Uncle Archie is staying with my Mom right now so there are a few challenges. My Mom had an episode where her blood pressure dropped suddenly and we had to take her to the hospital. She spent the night, was released, and has seen her cardiologist. Everything seems to be fine now. There for a moment I thought she was heaven bound. Then I had some more surgery and I guess I just lost track of time. Now it's July...We are so blessed to live in the USA! I've been patriotic all my life and proudly wear the red, white, and blue (wore it to church this morning). I think our flag is the prettiest one of all. It's a reminder of our freedom and what it has cost for us to enjoy this great country. I can't help but think about the music - God Bless the USA, It's a Grand Old Flag, America The Beautiful, The Star Spangled Banner, etc. Along with the freedom we enjoy in this country is the freedom we know through Jesus Christ. How could it get any better???
