Really!!!

Tomorrow is MARCH and that means spring begins this month. According to all those I talked to yesterday--no one is sorry SPRING is coming. My tulips are well on the way to prove that. The Bartlett pear trees and others are full of buds--but that doesn't mean we won't get any more crazy weather.

We did not have much going on for us this week. Dad had two visitors, I wasn't there either time, but neither was from our church. They both called and said they had visited him. Cindy took me along to the Jones center in Springdale , to watch her and Sarah ice skate at an indoor rink. That was great. Both did well. Sarah skated all alone a number of times.

Have a nice bit of advice from "Our Daily Bread" in closing. "When you're tempted to lose patience with another, Think how patient God has been with You."

Excuse the 2009 on the shamrock.

Sisters

We were happy to have had, Rog and Harriet stop in on their way home from a month's stay in Alabama (Golf Shores) I believe, right next to Fl. Rog. still plays crossword puzzles and she shops antique malls--to each their own. I had way to much food again ( as usual) but she took some home since they will come home to an empty frig. Sunday we went to the Homes church services and then Rog helped me take dad out and we took a short ride around Lake Atlantus--and then to Back yard burger. Dad enjoyed it all so much and everything was all new to him. He had never been to any of these places before. They left this morning around 10 and should be home for sure, by now.

We have had a very nice week. Rain--sunshine--clouds--warmer weather, You name it, we had it. Dad and I watched a few DVD's. "Buffalo Girls"- "Color of Purple". He had good days and bad, but all in all, it was good.

Valentines Day

This is Sunday- Feb. 14. You will never believe it, but I've already had church and it's only 2:30 in the morning. I went to bed so early last night and now I am wide awake. I just turned on Pensacola Fl. " Rejoice in the Lord " College Campus Services and it was wonderful. He spoke on Prov. 9--"A Prov. of Two Women" One is named "Wisdom" and the other "Foolish". Never heard that passage explained so well before. Believe me--Just follow and believe Wisdom.

We've had a good week. Sentner and I have watched 2 DVD's--Wheel of Fortune--3 Razorbacks games--had 2 meals together--gone to Church services--and ate plenty of snacks. Sentner had a hair cut in the Innisfree beauty shop--had his toe nails trimed--got 2 boxes of Valtenine candy--had lots of company. Evonne-Lanette-James-Ellie-Cindy-Sarah-Pugsly-Kelsy-Duston- Francis- (then from church) Roy- Rv- Gwen- Lois-Tammy- and Gary They also had a Valentines party where a king and queen got selected. The king was Charlie who sits at his table at meal times. ( A guy that reads Lamor books all the time--is very quite- wears a baseball hat every where- is all there -- Eats like a horse and cleans his plate each meal.)

I had a good week also. Sarah came over two times--Ev-Lanette -James-Ellie and Cindy came --help set up my new living quarters ( which I just love dearly). But that wasn't all, they then took me out for lunch for my Valentines. We went to a Mexican cafe "Maries" it was very good. I never know what to order at those cafe's though. Also had lunch with a friend ,Frances. We went to Sprindale to "AQ Chicken". It was very good also. Just haven't got one thing to complain about, not even the weather. It was a good week.

Now, I didn't send cards out this year.--but a very Happy Valentines to you all. Love each and evey one of you. Have a nice day.

Finally

It's me. I have not posted for a long time and thought I'd just drop a line.

Dad and I watched the Razorbacks play yesterday afternoon. It was a good game--behind- ahead- tied- back and forth-- back and forth--overtime and finally we won.

Today we went to church together at the home. I plan to do so for some time and make it feel like Sunday to him. We had a very good sermon from the Immanuel Baptist Church here in Rogers. I think they are all volunteer lay people.

Enjoy the day. They predict snow for us 4 days out of the 7days next week. Maybe up to 8" again. We will be fine if the lights stay on.

HAPPY NEW YEAR

Just a little thought--worthy for all to enter into the New Year with.

" I HAVE A COMPANION,
A WONDERFUL GUIDE,

A SOLACE AND COMFORT-
WHATEVER BETIDE.

A FRIEND, NEVER FAILING
WHEN OTHERS PASS BY,

OH, BLESSED COMMUNION--
MY BIBLE AND I. "

Years End

To all- A VERY MERRY CHRISTMAS AND A BLESSED NEW YEAR.

News from Roger's

Hi: Did you all have a good Thanksgiving and now are busy shopping and getting ready for all the Christmas activities? We had a good Thursday. We went out to Kay-Kay's place with Rich and Sarah. Cindy had to work, and the girls went to Jeff. We spent about 3 hours with them. We had never been there before. Got lost, but I celled Rich. He was about 1 minute behind me. The reason we got off the right road is because some one had turned the road signs. Makes all the difference if they point in the right direction. That is what the Bible is all about- it points you in the right direction for life and it won't be changed.

SJ had a good week, overall ,last week. In fact I believe he fared better than me. I was so tired and had a few low blood pressure days. He started getting upset yesterday over various things and last night was restless for a few hours,from 1-3. First he was cold so I turned up his electric blanket--then he we hot, threw back the blankets and turned down the heat. Then he had to go to the bathroom. It took so long, so I finally checked on him. He said he was having a bm, but it was costing a lot. I teased him by saying, Is the toilet paper costing too much? He mumbled something back to me. Finally he was ready to go back to bed. Then he was cold and up went the heat again. I asked him how much he had to spend and he mumbled-$1.56. When he got up he didn't know where he was and then asked how much longer we had to live in this place instead of home.

Last week one night when we went to bed he was wondering if he should go the bathroom downstairs, cuz there was no bathroom upstairs in this place. I got mad at the dog for something and I said- "I'm going to get rid of you if you don't quit that." He said- "then get rid of me too" and he meant it. I believe he really likes Pugs but just can't get it straight who gave it to us. Any way, you know now where I stand. He's still so kind and good to me.

That's' about it. Will keep you posted.
