Remember her cute little magnets that she was making? Well, my Texas magnet came yesterday, and I opened it immediately and put it on my fridge smack in the middle. Go see VEE's fridge just covered with all her magnets that she made and sent and that her sweetie, John, took to the post office several days in inclement weather! There --- doesn't it really just jazz up my fridge!
In other news, I found a couple of pictures I thought I'd show you. As some of you may know, my sweet mother-in-law has Alzheimers. She's in a nursing home now after breaking a hip and having a stroke. My husband has been SO faithful to go and see her nearly every single day. We always go on Sundays after morning church services. I had THE BEST mother-in-law one could ever ask for. I miss her, and I miss my father-in-law, too, who's gone on to be with the Lord.
She doesn't talk much any more, just smiles and says "I love you". Even tho she can't communicate any more, she knows who she loves. She loves to try to sing! Sometimes, we'll sing a few hymns when we go, and even tho she can't remember our names, she remembers the words and melodies of her favorite hymns, and you should SEE the way her face lights up! She remembers the Bible, too. I am not surprised tho, because it's a testament to her faith and love for the Lord. THAT's what has stayed with her.
WE LOVE YOU MEMA!
Think I forgot to show you these following pics... Out on the lake that we fish at, an otter (I think) appeared one day not long ago, and I luckily had my camera handy. Pretty cool...
I'll leave you with this sweet needlepoint that I found at a garage sale. A little old man was having a sale at his home. I asked him who did the needlepoint and he said his wife did it. It was beautiful! He said, "My wife left me..." I looked at him sadly and said, "Oh, I'm so sorry!" He said, " oh, it's okay, my wife left me to go be with Jesus, and I want someone else to enjoy some of these beautiful things." So I bought it. And had to leave quickly so I wouldn't cry. If you like it, you have my permission to borrow it.
Keep your dress down.
