busy, busy

saturday and sunday were both busy days..on saturday morning, we had a car show that engine 2 was in ,in our town. it was a big thing. they had a bike ride and car show for''relay for life'', and we went. it was a huge success and there were lots of different vendors there.

on saturday night, we took the youth choir to sing at a church in marion n.c..it was a great service, and the LORD used the singing. the henson family was there also. they were such a blessing. PREACHER FLETHCHER preached a message on the will of GOD. it was probably one of the best messages i have ever heard on this subject. he used a jigsaw puzzle as an illustration. it was a great message, so great that i think, 2 people got saved. we ate a meal in there fellowship hall after the service. it was late when we got back, but it was worth it.

we had great services both am and pm today... the LORD blessed.my family and i went to yamato's for lunch together. we had a good time of food and fun. we did not have choir practice, so i came home and took a nap. it came a thunderstorm. it was a good nap.
pray for me this week. i will be working mon-wed. we are leaving thursday, to take our teens to a revival meeting in mufreesboro tn. we are looking forward to that. last year, the LORD saved 10 of our teens at that meeting. it was really something. i am looking forward to seeing how the LORD is going to bless us this year. we are going to be back late saturday. hope ya have a great night and sleep well.

dinner and a movie

i had a pretty good day today at work. it was not too busy. we sent a lot of people home for the weekend. chris got off from work around 4 pm. he called me and asked where or what did i want for supper?? i told him i did not care. we went to eat supper at a local steakhouse, and relaxed. it was great, because i was starving... after supper, we went by the movie gallery and got a few movies. we watched 1. it was good, but did not end right.... lol..!! that is usually the way they turn out, not like you expect.. after the movie, i was so sleepy, i barely could hold my eyes open!! i was ready to go to sleep.

RUNNING ERRANDS

THIS MORNING, I SLEPT IN. IT WAS GREAT. I AM FEELING BETTER, IT STILL COMES AND GOES, BUT IT IS JUST GOING TO TAKE TIME. CHRIS HAD A MEETING THIS AM. WHEN HE CAME HOME, WE WENT TO RUN SOME ERRANDS. WE HAD TO GO PICK UP A PART FOR OUR BOAT, AND WE NEEDED TO GET SOME GROCERIES. WE WENT TO EAT LUNCH AT A NEARBY MEXICAN RESTAURANT. IT WAS GREAT. WE CAME HOME AND CHRIS PUT THE NEW PART ON THE BOAT, WHILE I PREPARED SUPPER. WE HAD HOMEMADE SPAGHETTI. IT WAS GREAT. WE JUST HAD A NICE EVENING AT HOME.

WHAT TIME IS IT? JUBILEE TIME

last night, we went to a spring jubilee that is held annually by a rescue mission around our church neighborhood.they invited a group from our church, ''vintage faith'', that chris plays dobro for. he had been playing in a golf tournament all day, and was not sure he would get finished in time, but he did. we arrived just in time for service. they did a great job, as always, singing. this is a picture of them, bro. johnny,wayne, mike, gene, chris, mark,(you can't see him),and mike o.
the message was brought by bro. greg locke, from nashville, tn. he preached a message on ''losing everything '' for the LORD. as i meantioned yesterday, it was our 13th ''dating'' anniversary. we snapped this pic. we went to dairy queen for a burger last night, after the service.. we got to see alot of people last night that we had not seen in awhile. be blessed tonight is my prayer...

i'm feeling better!!

i went to the dr. yesterday, after a long night of up and down, and dizziness.. i figured i better go on, because i had took both pills my mom gave me.. i did not have any more meds... the dr. said i had a mucus plug behind my right ear, that was causing pressure on my ear, and causing my equilibream to be so off balance. she gave me shots, and more mecllizene, and antibiotics... she said by monday, if i was not ''any'' better, then i would have to go for an mri on monday...
i can tell you, that i feel much better, still dizzy and drunk,but not as bad as i was yesterday, but stll not able to do much... the nausea is still there..... it is such a sick feeling..
anyway, i want to thank my mother for taking me to the dr. yesterday. chris offered to miss work to take me, but i did not want him to have to miss work... mother came to my rescue, as always!!!! thnks for taking me to the dr, and to get my meds, and to eat a little lunch, before taking me home.. you are always there, i love ya!!!
also, thanks everyone in bloggerland for praying for me to feel better. your prayers have helped so much... have a blessed day!!, and tgif!!!!!

hello spring, goodbye winter???

yesterday was a real wakeup call to us here in the upstate. it really felt like a spring day. it was sunny, warm, the birds were singing, and i saw several butterflies. it was beautiful.. my friend, april, called me at 8:30 am, wanting me to eat lunch....yes, that was my wakeup call. she kills me, she knows i do not wake up that early, but whenever she wants me to go to lunch, she always calls early... i tell her, she needs not, to call me that early.my schedule is not that booked!!!!!!
we had lunch at applebee's, and went to a few shops here in town. she has not been at work in a few weeks, due to a problem with her hip, but she was feeling better. she goes back to the doctor on monday and he is going to decide whether or not when she will be able to return to work.
after we finished shopping, i stopped by my niece's work to visit with her for awhile. we had a great time talking. i really miss her when i don't get to see her. i came home, and really did nothing except sit in my front porch and just enjoy the warmth. i hear by the weekend, it is going to be a real ''cool'' change. they say it is going to feel like winter again..... oh, well, break out the sweaters again, right!!!! chris came home from work and we went to eat supper. we went to big-lots to look at this thing i was saw in their sales paper.... they didn't have it... we came home and watched a little tv. my fav show,''E.R.'', was back on last night after about 3 months.. it was good.. enjoy your friday!!!!!!!!!!!

spending time together







today, we spent the morning relaxing, resting, and we did a little cleaning. after sweeping, mopping, and cleaning the kitchen, bathrooms, and living room, and after loading the dishwasher and washing machine, we were pooped.



we went to a new place for dinner tonight, copper river grill. it was delicious, and the atmosphere was great also. my family had went there together about a month ago. tonight, i had the sirloin with the loaded mashed potatoes, and salad, and chris had the kodiac chicken. it was great, we shared together. that's not all folks..... we had the white chocolate banana pudding for dessert... we had never had it before, so, when it came to the table, it was piled high... crazy huge!!!!! it could have fed about 8 people, no lie.... so needless to say, we will be eating banana pudding for a while. it was wonderful and well worth the $$8. 50 we paid for it.....lol,lol!!!!



i took some pics, hope you enjoy!!!!! have a great weekend!!!!
