Vacation Bible School

I am helping out with Vacation Bible School this week at church. I have a great job. I herd my group of 3 to 8 year olds from one activity to the next. Little kids are so much fun, they catch on to the songs faster than I am. I wanted to start doing more things at church since I retired, and bible school always looked like a lot of fun and it is. Wyatt is going too and he is really enjoying himself. A couple of his friends are going as well and are in his group.
I am probably going to do this again, at least until they can consistently outrun me.

Fathers Day Card

This is the Fathers Day card I made for Ray. I took the whole card from the May Cardmaker magazine. I used My Minds Eye Laundry Line paper. I did the card a second time for my Dad, but changed up the order of the paper and just put Dad on the front. I really like the colors and Ray commented that he liked it too. (I know he had to say that or else, but it is still fun to hear.)

Update on Andrew

The compound fracture on Andrew's fibula, had not stopped seeping. He had done everything the doctor suggested with no improvement. We went back to the orthopedist this morning and he sent him to the wound center. Now he is going to be going there three times a week until the wound heals. It looks like raw meat, we just have to keep it looking fresh. The whole idea is sort of gross, but we are going to do what it takes. It looks like he will be here at least a month before he goes back to Georgia.

Amber waves of grain

I took this photo of Ray and Wyatt while we were taking a stop at a historical marker in the Oklahoma Panhandle. The wheat is turning, but not ready to cut yet. I tried to show Wyatt how the wheat was in the heads of grain, but his interest was pretty limited.

It wasn't long after this that I was stopped for going 110 miles an hour. To say I was dumbfounded was an understatement. I was driving along with the cruise control at 65 miles an hour when a sheriffs officer come up behind me with lights flashing. Remember, we are driving a Vue with three adults and two small children. Ray and I are not the 110 mile per hours type of folks. In fact, Ray gets on my case if I am driving 70 in a 65 area. I was picturing some sort of corrupt cop going to haul me off to jail on trumped up charges. However, she apparently decided that we were just not the type, and that there might have been an error in her radar gun. The deputy was very nice about it, but it shook me up a bit. Now it is just a good story.

Lisa and Blake

We went out to Beaver, Oklahoma on Saturday for our niece Lisa's wedding. She literally has married her childhood sweetheart. They have been together since junior high. It was a beautiful wedding and the reception was lots of fun. Lisa did most of the planning and organization herself and did a wonderful job for a twenty two year old woman. Our best wishes to Lisa and Blake.

There is a blight on our house.

At least for the moment. The crud has been going through my family like Sherman through Georgia. We know who started it. Wyatt got started throwing up on Sunday, so he brought it home from daycare. On Tuesday, his father was sick. It was my turn on Wednesday. Poor baby Andrea had it on Thursday, although she was less sick than the rest of us thank goodness. Today, Andrew and Nicole both came down with it. I feel so sorry for Andrew, because it is so hard for him to move around. I put a bucket by his bed and we seem do be doing fine now. Ray hasn't gotten it yet, but I would say his odds aren't that great. It needs to hold off for a couple of days though. We have a wedding to go to tomorrow. I am glad now that I got it early and got it over with.

Starting Therapy

Andrew went to his first physical therapy session this afternoon. He said that it was just an evaluation session. However, he will be going three times a week. The work is going to be primarily on his hand right now. However, they said when the doctor decides his leg is ready, there will be additional sessions. Andrew will be busier than he realized.
