Gramaw spent Tuesday morning with her sweet Krew-man!

I couldn't even begin to count the times I've walked down this path in the Middletown Park.  For YEARS with my own four children, and now we're doing it all over again with the grandchildren.

And I love it!

We've been eagerly anticipating this for five years now.

The promise of our local telephone company to bring the technology of fiber optic cable out to our area of the country.

My dad was a...hmm, shall I say..."collector."

And over the 58 years he and Mama shared their County Line homeplace, Dad "collected" a whole lotta stuff!

Now that is one BIG dumpster beside my little Mama!

Our goal is to have it well on the way to being filled with scrap metal by the end of the day.

The past two Indiana winters have not been good ones for my beekeeping ego.

I am so proud of all four of my children.  They all have a love for the Lord and a compassion for people, and each one is using his or her own gifts for God's Kingdom.  What more could a mother ask for?!

But Kamaron has a special passion burning inside of him, a consuming passion to tell as many people about Jesus as he can.  I so admire him for his boldness and I know God has mighty plans for his future.

There they are, my sweet and sassy twin granddaughters, Kelsey and Kassie.

I might add "silly" too.....

Kim and I enjoyed one of our most unique Christmas gifts ever last weekend...tickets to a Murder Mystery dinner, "Greased at the Diner," compliments of our daughter Emily and Favorite-Son-in-Law Zach.

Before I say "So Long" to Texas, just a few more odds and ends to share...
