I don't know what I am going to blog about...hmmm

lol...I thought I would share some more pictures. Hey, what can I say? I am proud!! lol...

 

Me and Carole was having a blast watching Aaron read to Patrick! lol...At one point Patrick left Aaron for the cat. So Aaron did what any normal teenage boy would do he finished reading "Green Eggs and Ham" by himself. It was hilarious!!

 

Isn't he adorable??? Today, when my dad came home from work. I said "Patrick Papa is home." He stood up from what he was doing on the floor and ran to the door. "I need to let him in!" He squealed. lol...Isn't that so cute. So, that little story I shared does not go with the picture but I knew you would enjoy it!

 

Peek a boo!

 

Playing with cars. One of his favorite things to play with in my day home!

Going to the grocery store was a fun filled event. Uncle Aaron and Aunt Carole enjoyed speeding through the store with the cart while Patrick was in the car attach to it. Boy did he enjoy that!

Cabin Fever!

First off I need to say congratulations to my two good friends Susie and Debbie!! They graduated high school today! They are missionaries out of the country and that is the only reason I am not there.

You can probably tell by my title that the lack of transportation is really becoming a drag! I am hoping and praying that the mechanic will be bringing our car home today saying it's all fixed and ready to be taken on a road trip.

How I want to feel the wind in my face and watch the trees go by listening to good old Southern Gospel music. Okay, okay so we have a mini van....with tinted windows so I wouldn't necessarily feel the wind in my face or see the trees go by but you get the picture!lol...

Because, if the car is not fixed soon I think I may just loose my mind! Reading is not doing the trick and TV I can only watch for so long. Jumping on the trampoline until my legs feel like they are going to fall off or my head is going to burst is not distracting enough. Walking and getting bombarded with huge moths that look like mini bats is getting on my nerves. Talking on the phone until my ear feels like it's going to fall off is just not doing the trick.

I was just talking to my friend (aka my sister's bestest friend)and we were saying how we need to get down to where she lives and where most of my family is. It's driving us insane! We need to get down there! I am praying that we will, real soon!

I miss my Mimi so much! It's really been way too long since we have seen everyone!! Today we walked to the post office to get some stamps so I could mail the invitations for our Fourth of July cookout. They turned out so cute and I am sure everyone will like them!

Well, one good thing about not being able to go anywhere is I have been able to get alot of things done! I even cleaned my room. Now that was a miracle!! lol...

Okay, I guess I should end for now.

The conclusion: Watering Hearts

The summer went by so quickly with Cassie helping her parents get the house in order and then spending the rest of the day with Edna. Cassie’s heart was growing a new love for this special lady. She was such a balm to her sad attitude. She was so excited when she found out Edna too was a believer. Edna told her she used to attend the church where Cassie attended but it got to the point that it was too much for her health. So that day forward every free moment she had, Cassie filled Edna in on what she was learning in church and Edna took notes.

One cool summer night Edna and Cassie were on Edna’s porch sipping cool glasses of lemonade. “I am so scared Edna. I met some of the girls I will be attending school with at church and they are so nice but I just don’t know how it will be in school. Will they pretend not to know me?” Edna shook her head. “Cassie do you know how many times I’ve thanked God for you?” Cassie shook her head in shock. She couldn't believe Edna actually was thankful for her. She wasn’t special, she thought. Edna smiled at Cassie’s face.

“Well, I do. I got so lonely here sometimes and I never in my wildest dreams thought this beautiful teen aged girl would move into my neighborhood and become my best friend.” Cassie was now trying not to cry. “Honey, I’m telling the truth. You don’t know how much I look forward to you coming over every day. When your mom called last week and told me you weren’t feeling good and you would be staying in bed for the day I thought I may just die!” Cassie laughed at Edna’s tone. “Sweetie, I guess what I am trying to say is that any girl would be so blessed to have you as a friend and I have no doubt in my mind that you will have many friends by the end of the first week.” Cassie stood up then and made her way to Edna where she hugged her tightly.

“You know what Edna?” She said still with her arms around the older women. “What?” Edna asked. “You know how you water your flowers every day?” Cassie was now back at her own seat watching Edna closely. “Yes.” “Well, you watered my heart with friendship that I needed badly.” Edna smiled. “Cassie you are good for my heart. I guess you water me pretty well yourself!” Cassie smiled and knew that she would never forget this friendship for as long as she lived. Every day after that she thanked God for putting Edna Bennet into her life right when she needed her.


I am so thankful that I have the friendship with my grandmother “Mimi” that Cassie had with Edna. You can find friends where you least expect them if you just look. Somebody may need you to water their hearts. I hope this story has brought a smile to your face and a thought to your mind.
