Family Time in Arkansas

What a wonderful week in Arkansas! Thank you to Bill and Judith, Terry and Beverly and their families for showing me such a good time especially during a real busy time of the year. A special thanks to Mom and Dad for letting me again call their home mine for the week. Mom was such a servant with her cooking and cleaning and laundry mixed with lots of hugs and kisses and conversation. Could one ask for a better Mom? Dad always continues to mentor, teach, and work tirelessly. What a great example for a father. JDAME (acronym for Jenna, Daniel, Alec, Mallory and Ethan) were great for hugs and talks and play. Thank you all.
Lifetime memories from the week include:
  • "You're strong...real strong...I seen ya"
  • Driving the John Deere (lots of Tim the Tool Man barking!)
  • Building on Dad's barn with Dad, Bill and Terry.
  • Fishing on the Spring River
  • Tics and lots of them
  • Daniel's "daring" on the deck of the river cabin
  • Anatevka (Yeah, its stuck in my head too)
  • Morning coffee on the back porch with Mom and Dad
  • Lots of hugs and kisses and fun with all!

I love my family and thank God every day for the awesome blessing you all are to me.

I also need to give a special thanks to Lenore, Sam, Anna and Lizzy for getting by without me for the week. You four are all wonderful. I love you big time!

Awwww, that's so sweet! We all loved having you here, too. Tob was pretty bummed all weekend after you went home.

Just to be clear, though... it was not your sisters-in-law that showered you with hugs and kisses. A few hugs, maybe...

Just thought we should clarify. *wink*
