SATURDAY MAY 23
Well Larry had surgery , they took him down at 6AM we thought it was going to be 7:30. You never know what they are going to do. It took a long time to prepare him for surgery, besides the are working with a skeleton crew. They told us that. It was about 8;30 or so before they begin. Nanacy called us aroung 6 so we begin to get ready, we left at 6:45 for the hospital.
It was a long day, but we got to visit with his 2 sisters and brother-in-law. He did great and was a very good parient. Nancy will give details later. He is doing great today and moved out into a room upstairs. They said he had done beyond expectation. He will possible be coming home tuesday, if he keeps improving.
That is what God can do. We called everyone we could think of to pray. THANKS
Larry is a wonderful guy and he really looks out after Nancy. Makes sure she is well taken care of. He tells Nancy to make sure we are taken care of.
BIRTHDAY MAY 24
Today is Maranda birthday, where did the 10 years go. It seems just yesterday we held her and she was so tiny. That day we had a tragedy and a MIRACLE in our lives. She weighed 3 lbs. 11 oz. She lost down to 3 lbs. Was sent to Children's Hospital for a blood transfusion. Her blood count kept dropping. That is the only thing she had done to her. No tubes of any kind.
She was our bundle of joy. She was in the hospital 10 days and done just marvelous. We could not take her out places because she was a premie, seven weeks early. Coy and I moved our trailer over to Tony's house and set it up. When someone else was staying to help out we slept in the trailer. We both worked in Pine Bluff so that was convenient, they lived in Pine Bluff. Kiefer was 2 years old. Those two kids are so dear to my heart, I had them almost 6 years . We have shared so many happy moments.
She is a "tomboy" someone told me tonight, I do not like that word but I guess that is what she is. I say she is real sporty. She loves all sports. Gymnastics first. then basketball, skate boarding is her favorite right now, tomorrow it may be something else. When she is over we take her to the skate park just down the road.
Today which is Monday we took her to the pool. Pam stayed with her a Briauna. She is with me nearly every weekend. Friday is her day, we usually pick her up at school. Summer, I don't know yet. They have five days of school left. Next monday will be a make-up day. Post pictures later.
GOD BLESS ALL OF YOU

WATER WATER
Thursday we went riding over to the lakes at Hot Springs, boy was they full of water. All the parks we usually camp at was full of water. One was completely closed down and the others could only take a few campers. This being Memorial weekend there will be a lot of dissapointed campers. No place to set their trailers and they have a lot of people drive from other states . I hope they was listening to the news about the lakes being full of water.
We packed us a pic-nic lunch and off we went, needed to be home doing things, but just needed to get away, so many things on my mind. It is hard to explain. I just needed to see something new, so we did. Weather was beautiful.
We have not done that in a long time. We ate lunch at Charlton by the water fall.
FRIDAY
Today is friday and we have graduation tonight, Maranda's birthday is Sunday but we are going to surprise her with a cake at dinner tonight. We are going to meet at PF ''Chang's to eat dinner. Tony, Rochell, and their family, her mom and dad, Coy and I. They are having graduation at Little Rock, Steven's auditorium at UALR Campus. There is 274 kids graduates. Rochell oldest is graduating. He will be going to college at Monticello.
I got up early, went to do my aerobics at 7 am, got back washed my hair got it rolled, set outside to do that, it is a beautiful morning. Got Maranda's cake baked and decorated, just a real small one, 6 inch. No one will want cake when we finish eating.
It is a busy day, Harold came over we was visiting when I got a phone call from a long lost friend from the hospital where I worked. Her husband had died about 3 years before I left work and she had remarried, just before I left. She married her sweetheart from her school years. They moved to his farm down south. I lost track of her. She helped me so much when we lost Vanessa.
Harold kept saying who are you talking to so long and I told him a long lost friend.
He said hurry up I have got to go, so we finally got through talking and we visited some more. He left and we had to get ready to go to Little Rock.
We got a phone call from Nancy. Larry had gone to the Dr. this morning to get his blood pressure medicine refilled, he thought. Well they did a electrocardiograham and was told they was sending him to the hospital. They was up there when she called. They was running more test. Then she called back and said they was going to the cath lab with him. She kept us posted on how things was going as we was getting ready. As we was leaving she called and said he was out and the news was not good. He has 5 blockages, 99% in the main artery. What a shock. We ran to wal- mart picked up some cards for Maranda and Chris, went to Nancy' to get her some clothes. Could not get to Little Rock fast enough to hug my daughter and tell her everything is going to be all right, we was serving a higher power. They scheduled him for surgery at 7:30 in the morning. Post more later. NEED YOUR PRAYERS.

ARKANSAS WEATHER
Sunshine today and 45 degrees, well that is Arkansas. Never know what the next day will bring. Yesterday it was cool and windy, it was about 65 degrees all day which was nice. Hope it is weather like this the end of May, especially the 30th. We are so looking forward to it. So many family members have called and said they are coming. I really don't know how many to plan for but I'm sure we will have enough food. My house is just up the road and the stores is just a few blocks away.
We was going to Roy's today or tomorrow but our van is not running right and neither is our truck. I have been trying to get Coy to take it to a dealer, but these men has their own idea, so he took it to B&B and it is still not fixed. Cost $200 and it is still not fixed. It has been doing this for over a month. It runs OK after you get going, so I think it is in the gas, but who am I, not a mechanic.
So Coy finally decided to take the van to the chevrolet place and they said it is the fuel pump, and that is 300 dollars. But if you have to have it to have a vehicle, you just do. Always something.
We did go to Roy's , it was a beautiful day, a little breezy, but that was OK. Faye and I sat on the boat while Roy and Coy fished. Them two are a pair and always have been, eversince Coy came into our lives. They have shared lots of good times and bad times.
Roy is not doing well with so much on his mind. JR cannot walk yet, so he is trying to get his trailer fixed with larger door opening in trailer, a ramp, getting his yard mowed and anything that needs to be done before he has his surgery. We will have to go help him. They have not set a date.
Got to go
GOD BLESS YOU ALL

RAIN, RAIN, RAIN
It has been so rainy here , Our porch has flooded twice lately, We worked on it and got all the water vacumed up and dried out then last night we had so much rain, one rain system and 30 minutes another one would come thru. Hail, Rain in sheets,thunder, lightening the whold works. We probably got 10 inches of rain in a few hours. Our porch flooded again. We was up at 3am trying to stop the water from coming in. Our electricity went off.I had towels everywhere, just to try to keep the water from coming in. It was awful.
Well we got the carpet up today and dried out the flooor. I don't think we will put it back down until this rainy season is over. Coy got out and dug some ditches but I don't know if that would have even helped that night. We got 10 inches of rain in a few hours.
School closed, flooded and the buses could not do their routes, because of high water. We had Kiefer and Maranda so that was a pizza day, with no way to cook. I cooked breakfast in the camper.
I have got so much to do before I have company. I am not the house keeper my sister is and I am trying to make sure things are ready for them, but they are not coming to see my house, just be with family and enjoy good times, time is so short for all of us.
I need to get my summer furniture out but the rain and humidity just keeps coming. Wanted to get more painting done but too wet, can't paint when it is this kind of weather , but that is Arkansas.
We are praying for cool 70's and breezy for the reunion. It will be so good. Lots of work but worth it.
I have so many problems with my knees. The muscle behind my right one was swelled so bad I could not bend it today. I sticks out about 2 inches and I have suffered so much with it today.
Time for pain pill and bed time.
Church cleaning time tomorrow.
GOD BLESS YOU ALL

We are all falling apart here in our old age. But that is life if you live that long. Roy, Harold, You and David, Me and Coy, now he has something wrong with his knee. Rosette has been sisk for 12 or 13 years, but lately she has had new ailmets. Jeanette is on oxygen a lot and cannot breath sometimes, so we are all having ailments. Edward has had surgery, doing fine now.
BETTER DAYS AHEAD IF NOT HERE ON THE OTHER SIDE
