Bittersweet Memories

  • Prayer request or Praise: Please keep my friend, Dominique and her four children in your prayers.
  • My Reads: I just finished "Idol Eyes" by Mandisa. VERY GOOD! Up nest: The very latest Teri Blackstock thriller!
  • Kid~N~Kritter Kuties: Tyler teasingly called my mom an old woman. Lexi was annoyed, "That's not an old woman! That's my grandma!"
  • Today I am thankful for: My husband who is willing to sacrifice his time and energy to provide for us. SHMILY!

     These past few weeks have been a complete chaos. On Friday, April 11, the husband of a very good friend of mine chose to take his own life.  There were circumstances I do not care to get into but it is the reason the the silver ribbon I put up in honor of him.  Please keep Dominique and her four children in your prayers as well as the rest of her family.  Two days ago our 3D group prepared a meal for Dominique and family before their visitation and yesterday was his funeral.  Norm and I assisted at the funeral: I ran the power point and he did the lighting.  I was honored when Dominique invited us to join them in a private family meal. 

On April 11, Bill was to graduate from our Men's Frat where Norm had been attending and helped to organize.  This is the group of men who were there who graduated.  Congratulations, Norm!  I love you!

This past Friday Norm taught a homeschool group fire safety.  Here he is in front of the smoke trailer addressing half the group.  Nicole ran the smoke machine and took the pictures.  The next one is a girl going through the trailer we smoked up.
