Today is Gary's 54th birthday. It's been nice although he slept through much of it. He was able to eat at all three meals for the first time in a week. He visited with SGM Honeycutt and the chaplain from the hospice. There were numerous calls and a couple of cards, one special one signed "Isabella and Baby". There's nothing like grandchildren! Baby's will be the next day of birth that we celebrate! Only then will we know if it's granddaughter or grandson!!
Special thanks to Frank and the soldier who drove Gary's tractor (Sorry, I've forgotten your name). They mowed and trimmed the yard today and it looks fabulous. The rains from Gustav and Ike have left the grass green and pretty. The sore muscles from picking up have almost healed!
Glad to hear from Karen and Keith. Do you guys camp?? That's what we did after Katrina: camp and clean up! Sure glad you don't have damage.
Thanks for checking on us. We love you all,
Robbi

We do camp and we sure are doing lots of cleaning up!! Trying to help out neighbors too!! The best advice I've had so far is from Aunt Ottie who told me to turn my ceiling fans on!!!!( we would if we could) gave us quite a welcome chuckle!! God is certainly teaching us to enjoy the little things ( like a shower and a little cooler weather ) I'm glad today was nice and we pray for each day for God to send you both a serendipity. We are excited to hear "Isabella's" news!! Much love from our clan to yours
Karen and Keith
Happy birthday; I hope you received your card. Trust that the limb clean up was adequate for mowing. Sorry we missed our prayer time together; we rushed away. It is so good to enjoy the moments of blessings.
i tried calling to wish dune a happy birthday but didnt get an answer. so happy late birthday duney! =] hope all is going well!
Love ashley
Hi you two - - we think of you so very often - - as Ed and I sweat, measure out ANY amount of water to consider what multiple uses water CAN have!! It took me 4+ days to rake the parts of my yard that I ordinarily mow, and finally did get to mow the other evening. Like K&K, we have no idea when power will be restored, and just work while it is day, as the verse says - - I hope your days will be sweet, and you will see Him. I began to look for fulfillment of this from Psalms - - "I would have despared if I had NOT seen the hand of God in the land of the living." Love to you all, Nita
Gary, Robbi,
Sue and I enjoyed the visit today and continue to pray for God to care for both of you. Hope the visit with Ron and Joe goes great for y'all tomorrow. Hope to see you soon.
