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!
