IN THE FIELD

My apologies for those who have been trying to keep up with us through the website and I'm just now updating.

Saw Aunt Nancy for a few hours one day before we started driving. She so kindly is holding a few items for us til we return. Our neighbors Tammy and Orland also hugely helped us on our way out.

We are now in Lillian Alabama, home for the summer. Uncle Leon and Aunt Pauline have once again offered their place as a refuge for us, we could never be more thankful. We road tripped for about a week across country the first week in May. Stopping in Portland, Oregon...Grand Junction, Colorado...Kansas City, Columbia, Missouri...Mena, Arkansas...and finally in Pensacola/Lillian Alabama. Saw Michele in Columbia for a day. She is so wonderful. Enjoyed the blessing of being around Dylan's Family for almost a week...both of us wish it could've been longer. Hugged Aunt Linda. Dylan and I build a bird house for his Mom. Went shopping with Donna and she generously purchased me some cute tops and a hoody.

My sister Monica, her husband and their children came down from Savannah, Ga for a week the day after we got here. Melanie, Monica, and their families, Dylan and I, and Terry spent Mother's day at Melanie's mother in law Donna. We had a beautiful day together...loving on each other and letting our hearts be at peace with the one year anniversary of our Mother resting in Jesus. We all Miss Mom so much. It's hard to believe a year has passed already.

Fun times on the beach with all the nieces and nephews...saw some guy catch a shark. Love love love all of my family, so precious each one of them are to my heart.

Dylan and I have started working in the field down the street, weeding blueberry and blackberry crops that will soon be ripe for picking. The man we working for is very kind and seems to want us to work as much or as little as we want. He's thankful. We are so blessed. So grateful to God for providing everything we have need of. I hope to be sharing some thoughts I've been thinking...while we out there IN THE FIELD.
