WEEKEND JOY

GEE I did not realize it had been so long since I posted: Wow how did I go so long, not much to write about lately, I have been going through a bad time, I don't wish to talk about it at this time. I did finally get over my itch, every once in a while I get an itchy bump, but nothing like that was. I thought I was going to itch to death, I just wanted to claw myself.

We decided to go to My wonderful BROTHER's and SISTER (in law) I feel as though she is my sister. We had a wonderful time,as we always do. It is so quiet and relaxing. They always have out hotel room waiting for us.


We got up there friday afternoon, got ready and went to a gospel singing at 6: pm It was so good. You was in a Baptist church, but you did not know it, you felt like shouting, the most wonderful feeling you could ever have. There was a group there called Heaven's Echoes and the leader had lost their daughter 5 years ago. Her name was Judy, a very outgoing person. Her and her husband had wrote some songs about her and they sang them. She has been helping Roy with his grief. It takes someone who has been through it to help someone else. Their songs have helped them through the tough times. I talked with her a few minutes. It was such a glorious evening. We was so wired when we got home it was 2 AM before we went ot bed. You feel free and free from all cares of this life which can be consuming sometimes. It was so good to get away.





Saturday morning Coy and I got up early and got our coffee and went our on their back porch and watched the Ducks on the ponds,There was a big frost and it was snowing, big flakes and then a million little flakes begin to fall. It was beautiful. It did not last, it was overcast all day, rained a little, cold and windy all day. I made the remark that I hope it did not frost at home. My tulip tree was blooming when we left and my bradford pears also.


Saturday was Faye's birthday so we went out ot eat at a fish place in Conway. It was good eating. Ate too much as always, when it is buffet. Then we went back to the gospel singing, it begin at 5 PM it had already started when we got there. We only missed one group singing. I could have set there all night and listen to them. The MC was great and not Baptist at all. You felt like you were in a pentecostal meeting. They are having another singing in Magnolia in November we plan on going.


The Gaithers are in Little Rock this month and plan on going, got to get tickets today. Them boys of Rosie can get with it and down on it as Roy says. They can really sing.


After we got home Roy got his guitar out and sang. I love to hear him, He sang Hank Williams song I saw the light, and House of Gold (what good is gold and silver too if your heart's not good and true), and he also sung Build my Mansion next door to Jesus. I have always loved Hank Williams songs. I want to get our old record player out of the shed it is about 40 years old and all my old records and set them up in my living room. That would be so nice to be able to play them. I have The Browns, Rambos. Hank Williams, Johnny Cash and others, I don't remember. They are packed in a styrofoam box for protection.

This was the first song Tony learned, he use to stand and sing Build my mansion. He was only about 2 years old. I was surprised at the words he could remember and sing of that song. It made me feel good , but of course that is all he knew back them was church songs. When the grow up that changes. His whole family is in church now.

Well we got home Monday late and my tulip tree got the frost and the blooms are all brown. The pears look good, I don't think they are hurt. Spring is here, forcynthia are in b loom along with the others, trees are budding all around. I am ready for it, now we just need some warm days. It was 60 yesterday but was still cold all day.

HAVE A BLESS DAY
