Dolly and Justin

Hello My dear Friends,

Now when you look at Dolly don't think that she goes around like this all the time.

She is my sweet baby and I love her dearly. I just could not resist the rabbit ears.

This was taken in April of this year and she is unset that her mommy would do this to her and then when I laughed she put her head down like "How could you do this to me".

She loves me and it did not last for long.

I guess by now all of you have seen Kristi's pic of me and Larry racing on the buggies at Sam's.

Well, she is the one who put us up to it.

A smile can hide a very troubled person. Of course that is me.

I had just learned that day that my doctor would not let me go back to work until Monday as she thinks I have a blood clot or the starting of one. I went to the hospital on Thursday and had my Ultra sound and then picked up my medicine from Rite-Aid then home and went to bed. I had told Kristi that I would take her to Sam's so she could get the things she needed for Justin's birthday party today.

I really did not feel like going but about 6:30 I got up and dressed and when she got here Kristi, Hannah, Larry and myself left.

She parked our car for us and made sure that we both had a buggy to ride in.

That is how the race began. She always know's how to make us laugh when we are felling low.

Anyway, after all that was done we went home and she put her belongings into her car and followed me to the gas pumps so that I would not have to get out of the car and she pumped my gas for me.

What a blessing she has been to me and to Larry.

Then there is my sweet John. He was at work and Larry was out cutting our grass when Larry got his NEW JOHN DEER 25 Z stuck in a large hole in the ditch that runs down at the bottom of the road next to our lawn.

He tried and tried to get it out. I heard him turning the motor on an off so I got up and went out to see if he was OK. He was sitting on the mower with his hat off scratching his head and just looked disturbed to say the least.

I ask him what was wrong and he told me. He also said I just called John and he is going to come as soon as he get's off work. Well he did. He got behind the mower and with his dad sitting on the mower pushed with all of the power he had and got his daddy out. As he was doing this he fell and all Larry could hear was a big thud. He turned around and John was face down in the dirt. Now John has MS but he never lets it show. He is such a sweet son and we love him dearly.

I pray that he will soon get back in church and bring his family with him. Please pray with us that this is what God will work in his heart about the fellowship that he is missing with his Heavenly Father.

I cannot do without that fellowship with my Lord. It is not just my christian family I love being with it is the preaching of God's word and how it work's in my life each day.

The birthday party is tonight at 5:30 at a friends house that we love dearly. He has a huge game room up stairs and everyone is looking for that special time of fellowship.

Kristi is having chips and dip, toco's, sloppy joes, cake, ice cream & drinks.

I will have pictures to share with you sometime next week.

Keep me in your prayers and I love all of you.

Maw Maw Birt.

Happy Birthday Grandson.
