I start this note off this evening with a heavy heart. Last night my dear friend Betty's father went to heaven. While we find peace in knowing he's with The Lord, I know it's still been hard for her to say good-bye. Will you please hold Betty and her family in your thoughts and prayers as they go through these next few days.
After days of rain, the sun has finally came out. The last time I checked our rain gauge it was a little over the five inch mark so I'm sure it has at least six inches in it now. At this point I'm ready to throw in the towel. Of course if I did, I'd just have to wash it.... Because with all the rain has came all the mud! I don't know about the rest of you but dark, dreary days certainly plays havoc on my cleaning schedule. I just can't make myself do anything unless the sun is shining. So, it was really a welcome sight this morning and I wasted no time starting in on that pile of washing in my utility room. I'm a long ways from being done but with more sun shine in the forecast I know I'll soon be caught up.
Tomorrow my little sister will be going back to Louisiana. I feel quilty that she's been away from her home for so long but I know my Mom & Dad have really enjoyed having her "home" and she's been so much help to them. Daddy is still terribly weak but we continue to pray that with rest and a lot of prayers he'll be strong enough for heart surgery in the near future. At this point we are just taking it day by day, minute by minute.
Now that our weather has cleared off I'll be getting back to one of the jobs I've put off these past few months because of the heat...Painting our picket fence! While I know some people would hate a job like this, that's not the case with me. There is something so relaxing about watching that fence go from "weathered" to white! Maybe it's because with each stroke of the brush I know I'm protecting the wood for yet another year. Or maybe it's because I know it adds beauty to our old farm. (It's so easy to give people directions to our house...Just tell them to look for the house with the white picket fence! HA) So, it will be with a light heart I do this "chore".
Well Girls, the day is slowly winding down so it's time to help my little ones with their homework and then it will be time for baths and bed. I hope your all enjoying cool weather and good health. Hugs, Sher |
