BEEN TOO LONG

I have had a problem with my blogger, hope I have got it fixed now.

We just got home from Branson, well we got home on friday, had a good relazing time, stayed in a condo, loved it. Spent a lot of time in the pool just across the street. I tried to be out there at 9 am or as soon as I could. Sometimes it is good to be a little handicapped. Special Services are rendered to you. LOL We did not eat our that much 4 times I think is all. There is too much frozen food already prepared to eat out. We just relaxed. The condo member service had a lot of things going. They had a dinner and shows one night, different theaters there had performances for us. It was very enjoyable, some shows I would never have gone to see without seeing their preview.

We went to see Noah which was a bible show. Sight and Sound theatre. Real animals and an Ark that engulfed the whole theatre, you felt like you was there with them. We also took the tour of how they create all these props which is hugh pieces that just comes together. Next is Joseph which will start April 2012. Noah leaves and goes back to PA. in Oct.

Made one trip to see Vi , it was an enjoyable day, she always remembers us and we talk about CA, We lived next door to them and our kids just loved going across the field, visiting with the cows,and oscar the pot belly pig. I think James was their favorite becausse you never knew what he was going to do. He loved to hunt and Bro Coy always talked to him about his hunting days. One day James got his dad's 30-30 and here he went across the field with the gun over his shoulder ( at least he knew how to carry it ) Bro Coy ask him does you dad and mom know you have that gun, he took it and put it up. We did not. He was only about 6 or 7 at that time.

Her eyesight is failing and her mind is getting weak, I wish I could bring her down here and take care of her, would love it and she would be with family. I don't think she sees anyone very often, her family is old also, most of her family is gone or old like her. Her nieces and nephews has farms to take care of or just busy with their own lives. Too bad that is why she came back to Arkansas, so she would be near her family. They never pick her us and take her anywhere. She is so sweet. Tough to not have kids, their little girl died at 8 mts old and they never had any more. Even sometimes when you do have kids, you are non-existant in their lives. All so busy, not a thought of their aging parents.

She sang us a song as she usually does, last time it was Rock of Ages, this time it was "Picture on the Wall " by the Carter Family. I will try to post it, beautiful song.

There's an old and faded picture on the wall

That has been a hanging there for many years

It's a picture my mother

For I know there is no other

That can take the place of mother on the wall

On the wall (on the wall) on the wall (on the wall)

How I love that dear old picture on the wall

Time is swiftly passing by

And I bow my head and cry

Cause I know I'll see my mother after all

Yes the children all have gathered all have gone

And I have a little family of my own

And I know I love them well

More than any tongue can tell

But I'll hold that dear old picture on the wall

Since I lost that dear old mother years ago

There is none to which with troubles I can go

As my guitar makes its chords

I am praying to the Lord

Let me hold that dear old picture on the wall

We have one who will always be at our side and make sure we are taken care of. She is the most caring person I have ever known whether it is a friend, relative and an unknown person always willing to help. Everyone who knows her says she is a remarkable person and she is.

God Bless gotta go so much to do.
