Last weekend...

Last weekend we went to Alabama to hear our son Jeff sing. He has joined the Southern Gospel Music group the Greenes about three weeks ago. We got to meet Tony and Tranda and their two daughters. They have a great sound and we enjoyed the visit. God bless you guys...

Birthday present...

My brother, Sherman gave me the most thoughtful present for my birthday. He cleaned the limbs out of my yard from the recent ice storm. Dad, Brian and I had made a good start, but Sherman finished it up for me. Check out the earlier pictures, there were tree limbs everywhere. Thank you very much for my birthday present and God bless you "little brother".

Doesn't the yard look much better now??
Have a great day and God bless you...

Happy Valentine's Day ♥♥♥

We had a Valentine's Day party at our church tonight. Larry and Faye hosted the event and we all had a good time. Here are some pictures. There was a skit, a game and food. Love is a wonderful thing especially when you share it with your best friend. Darlene is my best friend and the love of my life. God bless each one of you and happy Valentine's day!!! Valentine Party at Calvary Wesleyan Church.

After our last posting the lights went out for two weeks. We stayed at Brian and Stephanie's during this time. They treated us so good and we loved spending time with our grandsons, Garrett and Gavin. We are now home and have a hole in our roof. But God is still good. Thanks for your prayers and God bless...
