Theresa did you find your bulletins you were looking for?

Nope I think they accidently got thrown away


I was able to reconstruct the major portion of them.

I just checked and Chatty Vicki is now 400 posts ahead of me on this thread....it seems I quieted down and Vicki sped up!! Even if I talked nonstop while she is gone to Disney I don't think I would ever be able to catch up to her.

Funerals aren't for those that are gone. They are for those that are left. When my father died, people came through a blizzard to attend. I didn't think worse of those that didn't come but I can tell you those that came or showed support are still special to me. I didn't realize how important a 2 minute conversation could be for someone that has lost their loved one. I do now!!!!!

This is a good perspective to have. Thanks for sharing it Vicki.

hi Tammi

 

[tmfranlk]

why Nashville star of course

And that is just what we did! I really like most of the people for this year. There were 2 girls that I wasn't particularly impressed with, but all of the guys we great. (We were maybe going to record ER, but for some reason it was the same episode as last week. )

 

[tmfranlk]

i liked a couple of them, but so far, i think i like Angela Hacker and Joshua Stevens (Sang Rascal Flatts, My WIsh)

I agree about Angela. Joshua's was the one performance that I missed though I heard the critiques and they sounded good. I really liked Tim LaRoche's performance, but I understand why he was the first to go. As for the guys I did see, my favorites are David St. Romaine and Dustin Wilkes. I also lik Kacey Musgraves.

Maybe she & Emma should get together for late night playdates. I swear Emma is an energizer bunny. She just doesn't need a lot of sleep.

Terra either. And if she takes a nap, that time is just subtracted from how much she sleeps that night. It's like her body has a set requirement and it doesn't care how or when it fulfills it.

Hi Jennifer

Thanks for the prayers and good thoughts...We have been up since 5 and just now got home from the hospital. My grandma was in the OR for 3.5 hours for what was supposed to be a 2 hour surgery. They ended up going through her neck tothe coratid artery-They thought it was 80% blocked but ended up being more, which made the surgery a bit more complicated. She is out of the OR though and is recovering in the surgical ICU. She is in more pain than was expected and may be taying over for a couple of nights,,,I didnt go into see her, but my mom, uncle, and grandpa did--they said she looks worse than expected, but is doing okay. ill be going back to the hospital tonight, so if there is asny new updates, ill let you know.
thank you so much!

I'm glad that everything went well in surgery. I hope that it takes care of the problems completely and that Grandma is feeling better soon. Continued prayers and .

Hi all! Hope the day is treating you well. We are supposed to get a nasty ice storm tonight so that should be interesting, but luckily we have no real plans. My Dad got called for a run to Wisconsin, but luckily he will be back before the storm this time as opposed to leaving it in like last time.

Terra and I had a nice morning today. We met a local play group at the World Bird Sanctuary near by. She got to see a lot of really cool bird of prey - owls, eagles, hawks, falcons - plus some parrots, macaws, lizards, snakes and a few other things. She it! The only thing that she didn't like was me when I said that we couldn't stick around to watch a falcon eat the mouse it had for lunch as I didn't know when she would decide to actually eat it.

After that, we went to the nearby nature reserve. You drive through the park and we saw several types of deer, bison and elk. There were two big groups of a bigger type of deer and of bison hanging out right by the road so we got to see them really close up. There were also several elk eating along the roadway. It was pretty neat to see them just a few feet from the car.

It was another reminder of one of my favorite things about St. Louis...so many things are free!! We put $1 in each places' donation box, but other than that it didn't cost us anything for a morning of fun and education. Gotta love that! Paying for so many things and so much for them was one of the things I had to get used to in CA and MA. Near our apartment in CA there was a small little zoo with maybe a dozen exhibits and it was $5 each to get in. The Science Museums were $15 in each place and here it is free. Okay, sorry for that tangent. Don't know where it came from.

Well, I've got to go pick up Phil and make a stop in to Mom's work in order to ask if Rachel can spend the night at a friend's tonight. I'll probably be back on, but not sure when. I'm going with Erin to a ladies' Friendship Friday event at church tonight. I guess we get together with a smaller group (9 or so) at someone's house for dinner and then all get together at the church for a larger fellowship after that.

Have a good afternoon everyone!
