Important Decision

WooooHoooo!!
Just found out that my only grandson has asked Jesus into his heart! Very happy for him!
Now...why did I have to hear this through a blog??
hummmm...
maybe it was more exciting this way...for him to wait for responses??
**Grinning**
Whatever!! I'm just really happy for him.
Am eager to find out what our Lord has in store for him as a way to help.
Am also eager for the other grandkids to want to make this same decision once they're mature enough to know what they want to do.
Pretty sure Kelsey already has, too...but, waiting on the others.
Now, I'm asking myself...what have I done to help them know more about Jesus?
I just don't think I've shared enough. To quote that old hymn....

More about Jesus would I know,
More of His grace to others show;
More of His saving fullness see,
More of His love Who died for me.

snow and work

The two do not go well together. I'm scheduled for the next 13 days in a row...er, um...minus the two Sundays. Thank you for those two Sundays!! Anyway, with the Boss being out of town this Thursday through Saturday, the opening and running of the store falls to me. This means...I have to be responsible for trying to determine IF the roads will be safe enough to work my way over to the store...which just happens to be on a side street. Side street here equals no road crews cleaning it up for me or customers.

Lovely!!

I don't believe tomorrow will prove to be much of a problem. Thursday through Friday may very well be very bad. It's at times like this that I wish I'd insisted upon that 4wheel drive vehicle we didn't purchase!! argh!

So...join in with me on my prayers for safe traveling conditions. The store really needs lots of customers and no hassles the entire time the Boss is gone!!

On another note...Thanksgiving, Christmas and New Years all went by without us being with our family. Very strange. Melanie and Jon brought the kids here between Christmas and New Years and that was fun. I've been getting a kick out of Xander's bemoaning the travel time....I'm right there with him!!

No Avery for Christmas or New Years....no photos of her opening presents, either....I think I need to check and see if they took any!! Maybe with Tina...surely she wouldn't have let this 1st Christmas go by without some sort of photo!!

OK...guess that's it for right now...don't forget...prayers for good traveling conditions...if we have to have snow...let us have it be the type that doesn't come along with ice, too!!

Aftermath

We've been home from our vacation with Melanie and crew for a week now. Scott began coming down with a cold on the ride home...I waited until Thursday before succumbing to it. Bleaaaa!!
I've not heard otherwise, so I'm assuming their part of the vacationers escaped getting sick?
I'm tired of coughing and hacking!!

I've enjoyed seeing the photos that Jon uploaded to the Flickr site. I have been waiting for Scott to do ours, but I might have to do it myself as he's busy with a bunch of other little tasks that have been needing attention. I'd hate to divert him!
I got a kick out of Xander's blog showing some of the photos and video while on vacation, too. He's got a lot of stories he could choose to tell if he just would!

On another note...today is the perfect Indian Summer Day here in Ky. Sun is shining, the skies are blue...temps are up. Too bad I'm inside with my hot tea and tissues!! Maybe this wasn't another note...sure sounds like I'm still feeling sorry for myself!
OK...I'm done for now!

New Car!!

We have a new car! Finally!! Used 2009 Buick Lucerne, with some whistles, but missing a couple bells. Which is fine. We've discussed adding a sun/moon roof to this one, and will probably follow through on that, as we saved almost the entire price of one on this car to do that.
I'm wondering how he'll react if I tell him I'm ready to drive to visit with grandbabies again???

I've been out looking for flower to either plant in my empty containers or to nestle down in with the periannals that came back up this year. I'm having problems making decisions about color and texture. Color more so than textures.
I'm leaning toward the peachy/orange tones which isn't really me. And, I know Scott likes the purples and blues....also the reds and florescent pinks. So....um...dunno....what have you all done??

Ok,
Melanie was fussing because I have not kept up my blogging. I told her it was easier before I knew the people that might be reading it!! LOL
It's been cool and dreary here in central Ky all week long. I should be satisfied with that, but it appears that when the sun isn't shining, I'm not nearly as happy.
Scott's doing super with the progress he's making healing from his knee replacement. He's still doing little things that he shouldn't be. He's not keeping his toes lined up in front, and he's cutting back on exercises and meds. Some of the meds are alright to skip...others are not.
I'm going to be taking him out to Sam's Club today and see how he deals with being on his feet for a longer period of time. I'm thinking he'll do great. But, I'm going to have to remember to monitor his pain levels by the time we get back home.
Need to do some gardening...after all it's spring ...so, while the weeds are young I need to be grubbing them out of there. I don't really want to ruin my back by doing a ton of planting this year. So, am considering the option of container gardens.
OK
that's enough rambling for now...gotta go get myself ready to leave on the errands...

I have to try and get the car released from the ice....ugh...I have a dream of one of these days being able to use our garage for our cars...we used to...this situation is just absolutely asinine!
