We have been car shopping since last Wednesday. We tried out a Dodge Caravan for a week and decided we needed the power doors. Loved the car and the color,(RED) but just not what we needed.. Can you believe we are getting rid of the Van, I can't either but it is gone.
We came through Benton and tried out some more cars we found the perfect one I think.
It is White well it is called cool vanilla, isn't that sharp. I told them when I went on the parking lot I did not want a white or black car. WELL that was not so. That is what we ended up with.
I like it so far but we will be leaving tomorrow for blue grass festival so we will not be driving it much. It is a Chrysler Town and Country, fully loaded, has everything power. The doors are all power, adjustible brake and excellerator peddles. Has a DVD player with head phones, now what did old people like us want with that, grand kids maybe. It has leather seats with stow and go, all seats folds in floor. The only thing is we have to wear seat belts all will ding if not fastened.
We also have heated seats, now why would anyone want that, well I may find out with them being leather and here in Arkansas.
I know it drives better than the Van.
The van served us well for over 15 years and many miles. No major expense on it. Tires and Brakes mostly.
GOD BLESS

MARANDA'S BIRTHDAY
My good ness where has these 11 years gone. It does not seem like it has been not time since she was so tiny. I never know what to do on the kids birthday or what to give them. I will have her this coming week, her so call parents have plans so they needed somewhere for her to stay.
School is out tuesday, she will have to miss the last two days, we are leaving to go to a Blue Grass Festival up near Petit Jean saturday morning. We will not be back until the following week. So she will be with us unless they come get her. So I will do something special with her. Rochell called Sat and wanted to know if we wanted to eat pizza at Mazzio's sunday with them for her birthday, I was a little shocked, didn't invite no one else. I baked her a cake so we did. It was kinda nice. Rochell has not hardly spoke since March when I couldn't take Maranda to Dr. and she had too. Easter , she did not speak at all, Her and Tony was here about 30 minutes and they left, they just needed to drop the kids off.
AS we was sitting eating we discussed what day we would go out to eat this week. She did not remember that tuesday when we was eating, I nearly always take them out to eat or they come over one evening. It was going to be Tuesday instead of thursday this week. I was going to pick them up after school and at 5 we would go eat and then take them home. While we was eating she called and chewed us all out for them not coming home and doing their chores before we went to eat. Needless to say our whole meal was ruined and they eat very little. Oh well that is Rochell.
Also she got a note in January about Maranda not being able to see, her eyes needed to be checked again. She has still not taken care of that so I made her an appt. I should have months ago, but they told me they was going to take care of the kids. Well words don/t mean a thing you have to be a do'er. So today I called Rochell and told her I made her an appt. I said she has not been since april of last year. she said I know, ( I wanted to say a lot more but I didn't ) so I ask her if she wanted to take her or could I. She informed me that Her and Tony was leaving at 8 in the morning and I didn't know they was going anywhere. She said they would leave Maranda bag on the porch and we could pick it up later.
I want to move away from them so bad but the kids needs me here close, I think I make life a little easier, I dont really know. Maybe harder, by living here. We are too old and too much accumulation to move.
Enough of my complaining and rambling. I just hate those two kids has such a bad home life. Kiefer said he was going to live with his memaw, which is his mothers mother. It is a weird situation. Tony needs to step up and be a DAD to his kids. Pray for him
GOD BLESS ALL

SUNDAY
I look forward to Sunday, it is my day of relaxing, I love music and the choir singing old songs. I enjoy just praising God in his santuary. So many people just don't realize we are living in the last days' We watched end time movies and the bible is being fulfilled every day and we are just about to the end.
On Sunday in Gods house I have a peace inside me I usually don't have. Depression is a terrible thing to have. There are days that is just not right.
Since Coy had his stroke, he doesn't know what he is doing or saying some days. I have to explain every detail and some times he cannot understand the very simple things. It is real hard to explain. He wants to argue about everything. I try not to argue with him but I feel I have to tell him the way it really is. It is so strange to have him like that. I have to really watch his medicine, nearly every day he will get the bottles down and go over what he is to take when. I fixed his medicing in seperate boxes marked morning and evening. He never knows what day it is so I try to tell him every morning what day it is so he will take the right day, that does not even work. He resents me trying to help him keep things in order. What do I do? Somebody please tell me. Some days I just want to run away. He might think it is Sunday two or three morning a week, he gets up getting ready to go to church. I ask him where he is going, he will reply it is Sunday isn't it , No it is so and so. My nerves are no good anyway. I wish everyday was Sunday, I wish everyday was Sunday, maybe I could handle everything better.
Well enough of my rambling. I need your prayers.

GARDEN DAY
It is only 9 am on thursday morning, have got things done today. Picked turnip green, washed and on cooking. They smell so good. Picked onions got them cleaned and washed. Coy carried our preacher some greens and onions. Got apricots on to make baked pies with my wonderful pie crust mix from California. I am about to run out. Don't know if the store is going to ordser it or not. They are carring a lot of the other products made by this company so maybe, before I am out. I have also made a macaroni salad. Having company tonight. My baby sister is supose to come over and she loves my macaroni salad. I made enough she can carry a bowl home with her. I am also fixing chicken breast smothered in french fried onions and cream of chicken soup. We will have to have some corn bread with that also. Sounds like a good meal to me.
I could not believe how out Garden had grew while we was gone. We need to plant okra, the ground is warm but it is also wet. And supose to get rain today. Maybe it will skip us and go
north.
This has been a wonderful day so far. And will continue to be if I can keep my attitude in the right place and not think about the things that goes on around me.
Planning on going to aeobics at 4, I have got to get started back. It helps my knees so much and also keeps my feet and legs from swelling in the summer.
I have got to remember how good God has been to us and all the things he has done.
It is 10 am I think I will have breakfast,
corn bread, turnip greens, green onion and a glass of milk, Don't that sound like a good breakfast. does to me. That is my schedule for today.
GOD BLESS ALL OF YOU

LAUNDRY, LAUNDRY AND MORE LAUNDRY
I have so much laundry even though I wore some outfits 2 days. Towels and dish towels, sheets. I have finally got all of it done, just a few things to press, I try not to have much to press, don't like that. Mainly Coys shirts.
We had a wonderful time and ready to go again.
Carried my sewing machine, my extra one that is, I had no thread. Got it all ready one morning, set up my table and no thread. I had even picked out what I was going to work on. Had it all laid out. I have packed it now so next time I will have it.
I am anxious to go to blue grass festival the last of this month. It will be so good. There is a different group going this time. Four couples I think. Maybe more. In June we will be going to Branson and stay in a Condo. Lots of things planned this summer.
I know our plans can change so fast. Gods plans are not ours.

UNEXPECTED NEWS
Got home had a visitor, Pam, she was here to announce she had got married to a young guy she had known several years before, he has been in prison but I can't hold that against him. Hope he learned his lesson. I ask him lots of questions about his past. I gave them my blessing and welcomed him into our crazy, mixed up family. No different than any other family, just know about ours not every one else.
I just want happiness for my kids and for them to serve the Lord, He is coming soon, I know we have heard that all all lives, but it will happen. He can call us away any time, it pays to be ready in season and out.

CAMPING WITH FRIENDS
We had a wonderful time, there was 4 campers of us folks. We set around the fire and watched movies about the end-time. Scary but true. It is going to be awful for those left behind. We also watched Left behind series. I have some of the books. We also watched Code 2 which is so real and the things that is happening today. These people had to real and study the Bible to know these things was going to happen.
We was up there Sunday afternoon and it was a beautiful day, a relaxing evening for us. Nothing special. We did not set up a lot of stuff because we knew it would be just the two of us. George and Margie came on Monday , Sharon and Homer, Carl Gene and Diane came on wednesday.
By the weekend it was so windy and some bad hair days for all of us. Sharon and Homer had all their kids and grand kids up, we had Kiefer, Had a fish fry and I made home made ice cream with Peach cobbler. In other words we feasted. The weather was so nice
Friday night was a rough one, storms everywhere, we received calls for Sheridan up until about 1:30. It missed us, we was praying all of us in campers.
Saturday night was the same thing, the wind blew so hard but the storm was on both sides of us and our camp was in the middle. Hardly any wind at all.
Maranda was worried and no service to call her and did not leave the camper. She sent text and said. Mamaw have you been watching the news and where r u. I felt so sorry for her. I call the next morning.
Had to take Kiefer back to meet Tony in Pine Bluff sunday aat 1:30 Just made it, he wanted to fish as long as he could. He learned to snag fish with a 14 foot pole. Had a great time. Did not want to go home. That is a wonderful place to take kids they are assured they will catch something and he caught a lot, cat fish, carp which are not edible but fun to catch. Serval cat fish and a gar. Lots of skip jacks which are small but fun to catch.
