TIM AT A WELCOME CENTER IN NORTH CAROLINA

WOOD CARVING AT HOTEL WHERE WE STAYED

ANOTHER CARVING

BLUE RIDGE MT. PARKWAY N.C.

TIM AND I WENT WITH HIS BROTHER AND HIS WIFE ON A LITTLE VACATION A COUPLE OF WEEKS AGO, IT WAS VERY MUCH NEEDED. WE HAD A VERY RELAXING TRIP. WE WENT TO THE SMOKEY MOUNTAINS IN TENNESSEE AND THEN ON TO THE BLUE RIDGE MOUNTAIN PARKWAY IN NORTH CAROLINA. IT WAS OUR FIRST TIME TO GO TO THE PARKWAY. IT WAS BEAUTIFUL!
TIM HAS BEEN HAVING  A LOT OF DAYS WHERE HE DOESN'T FEEL GOOD. WHEN HE HAD HIS PACEMAKER CHECK LAST MONTH IT SHOWED THAT HIS PACEMAKER HAS BEEN WORKING A LOT. IT RAN OVER 90 HOURS ONE TIME. NOW WE KNOW WHY HE HAS BEEN HAVING BAD DAYS. I JUST PRAY AND REFUSE TO WORRY. AT LEAST I KNOW IF HIS HEART IS NOT GOING TO BEAT RIGHT HIS PACEMAKER WILL.
SORRY IT HAS BEEN SO LONG SINCE MY LAST POST BUT I HAVE BEEN BUSY WITH GROOMING AND JUST SPENDING TIME WITH TIM. I DO TRY TO FIND TIME TO CHECK IN ON OTHER BLOGS BUT JUST DON'T HAVE TIME TO POST.  I HAVE CROCHETED A LITTLE AND HOPE TO FIND TIME TO POST PICTURES SOON.
HAVE A BLESSED FOURTH OF JULY. THANK YOU TO ALL THE MEN AND WOMEN IN UNIFORM FOR ALL YOU HAVE DONE TO INSURE OUR FREEDOM. MAY GOOD BLESS YOU ALL.

HELPING OUT

TIM AND I HAVE BEEN WORKING AT THE TORNADO RELIEF DISTRIBUTION CENTER. I WISH WE COULD HAVE WORKED MORE  BUT FRIDAY-SUNDAY WAS ALL WE COULD DO. THEY OPENED AT 8:00 AM AND CLOSED AT 8:00 PM ON THE DAYS WE WORKED. THEY HAD BE STAYING OPEN 24 HOURS A DAY. WE STILL HAVE PEOPLE LIVING IN TENTS. THEY  WON'T LET PEOPLE IN SEVERAL AREAS UNLESS YOU LIVE THERE. WE DIDN'T WORK VERY LONG TODAY. I GOT UP CRYING THIS MORNING THINKING ABOUT SOME OF THE PEOPLE I GOT TO KNOW. SOME PEOPLE COME IN EVERYDAY AND GET THINGS AND OTHERS YOU HAVE TO MAKE THEM GET THINGS. THEY WOULD SAY "OTHERS NEED IT MORE THAN I DO". THESE WERE PEOPLE WITHOUT A HOME. TODAY I JUST PUT THINGS IN A MANS BUGGY BECAUSE HE JUST HAD TWO LITTLE BAGS OF THINGS. I SAW WHAT HE HAD AND JUST GOT HIM MORE OF THE SAME. SO SAD!
TIM AND I WOULD FIND SOMETHING WE THOUGHT A CHILD WOULD LIKE AND HIDE IT BACK TO GIVE TO A SPECIAL CHILD THAT CAME BY. THIS WAS SO HEART WARMING. A BABY WAS DIRTY AND CRYING AND I GAVE IT A LITTLE PACKAGED TOY AND BABY SNACK AND THE TEARS WERE REPLACED WITH A SMILE. I PICKED OUT A LITTLE GIRL TO GIVE A BOXED NECKLACE TO. I TOLD HER I HAD IT HIDE BACK WAITING ON A SPECIAL YOUNG LADY. I DON'T THINK I'LL EVER FORGET THE HUGE SMILE SHE HAD ON HER FACE. BEFORE SHE LEFT SHE CAME BACK TO TALK TO ME. THEY LOST EVERYTHING! HER MOTHER WAS PICKED UP BY THE TORNADO BUT IS ALRIGHT. AS FAITH WOULD HAVE IT SHE HAD LEFT ABOUT 10 MINUTES BEFORE IT HIT. I DON'T WANT TO TELL YOU THE THINGS SHE TOLD ME ABOUT HER NEIGHBORS THAT DIDN'T MAKE IT. I HATE THAT SHE HAD TO KNOW ALL THOSE AWFUL THINGS. I ASKED ONE OLDER LADY IF SHE NEEDED BABY WIPES AND SHE SAID "YES HONEY I USE A LOT OF THEM, I HATE WASHING UP IN COLD WATER SO I BATHE WITH THESE". SHE WAS LIVING IN A TENT. A LOT OF PEOPLE DON'T HAVE A WAY OF GOING ANYWHERE SO LAW ENFORCEMENT OF ONE KIND OR ANOTHER WAS TAKING THINGS TO THEM. STILL PRAYING FOR THESE STRONG PEOPLE AND EVERYONE HELPING OUT.

WE HAVE POWER

JUST WANTED TO LET YOU KNOW THAT WE HAVE POWER AND WE ARE FINE. SO MANY PEOPLE ARE STILL WITHOUT POWER. ONE MAN MY SON WORKS WITH LOST 5 OR 6 MEMBERS OF HIS FAMILY. ONE OF OUR FAMILY MEMBERS LOST THEIR HOME. SO MANY PEOPLE WITHOUT A PLACE TO LIVE, IT'S SO SAD. THANK YOU FOR YOUR PRAYERS.
