• Rain and Some Happy Memoris

  Poor Lori K’s family.  The storms started last night and are still going on full force this morning.  They have a great shelter (a/c & all) but I’m sure it’s a muddy mess at camp.

  I fell asleep (AGAIN) on the sofa (after eating) and Jesse woke me up (nearly stopped my heart! – he really startled me!) and told me to go to bed.  I DID take 2 headache pills and slept through the night except for 92 million bathroom trips due to the excessive amounts of water I had been drinking – an attempt to drown my headache.  I feel great today.  Who knows what was up with me (besides Luci’s fit in church and my anger) yesterday?????

  I’ll share a few photos each day this week of Lori’s family’s visit.

  This is  Keziah (holding her baby doll), Annamarie, & (granddaughter) JanaLyn
  

  and THIS is  Keziah, David, Annamarie, &  JanaLyn
   

  Keziah flying solo (which rarely happened in our house this week-end!!!).  Isn’t she a beautiful little girl?
  

  The K family are animals lovers, just like ours, and my question here is . . . Does Sampson love Sarah?
  
  

  Answer:  YES HE DOES!!!!!!!!!!!
  

  I caught Lori trying to take my picture . . .
  
  then, she caught me trying to take hers.  You’ll have to see if she posts that one at her blog site, as it’s on HER camera!

  We attempted a group (minus many) photo:
  

  As the children echoed, “We love you Mrs. K!”
  
  As you can tell from Mrs. K’s face, she “loved” them, too!!!!!  LOL

  Seriously, since JanaLyn was here most of the time, we had a ratio of 9 children to 4 adults, sometimes 3 adults when Jesse was working!!!!  There was no such thing as “alone time” not even in the restroom.  There was always a knock on the restroom door followed by, “Could you please hurry.  I gotta go, too!”

  I was successful in getting a picture with most of our children (minus David, Rachel & Sarah) ~
  
  From left to right: Keziah, Luci, JanaLyn, Annamarie, Rissy, & Abby.  No one looks particularly thrilled, do they?

  I FINALLY caught JanaLyn smiling.  I think 9 children (and being an only child) was a bit overwhelming, although, I promise, she had a good time!
  

  
  That’s it for today.  I have tons more to tell, as well as photos, and will share later in the week.

  I have laundry (what ME?  laundry?) and some light housework to do.  We
  ate dinner out on Saturday night, so we’ll have what I had planned to
  serve our company.  Chef’s salad with strips of fried chicken instead
  of the usual ham or chicken cubes.

  Oh, before I say “good-bye” . . . I was praying about the situation
  with Luci and my anger, and God reminded me of a book I bought a month
  or so ago.  I went to the bookcase and it was right there:  “Putting
  off Anger – A Biblical Study of what ANGER IS and what to DO about it”
  by John Coblentz.  Praise God for His faithfulness!

  Have a blessed day!
