After lunch Luke and I headed to Hot Springs Village with his Uncle Jeff and Aunt Robin. We had the best time! We drove around looking at the golf courses and houses. We even had time to fish!! We weren't sure if we would catch anything, but Jeff did! He got a big catfish...only it was too dark for me to get a good pic of it. We released him anyway....I just can't stand when they gasp for air!!! We had a good evening for sure!

We celebrated Memorial Day with Luke's family. We had burgers (which Jeff grilled), cheese dip and chips and beans. It was so good! It was a great time to visit with family and remember those that gave us our freedom!

Congrats Mr. Wiles!!!

Mr. Wiles and Luke

Luke and I went to Hot Springs on Saturday to a reception honoring Mr. Wiles' graduation! Mr. Wiles and Mrs. Wiles taught us for several years at SCA. It was a hoot to see them again. We talked about old times and good memories. Mr. Wiles taught my high school chemistry class...and I don't think he'll ever live down blowing something up in that class. They were both wonderful teachers and sure did make an impact on our lives! Congrats again Mr. Wiles!

Lisa and Jodi- Jodi just finished the purple shawl


Ok, so you might get tired of seeing the same ladies, but I don't think I ever will. The talent in this group is amazing!!! Nancy Arnold made a shawl for a person in our group who was diagnosed with cancer. At our meeting, she was able to give it to Mrs. Carita Taylor...who is just super sweet. It was a neat thing to see a shawl someone made be given to the recipient by the same person. This is truly an amazing ministry!

It's Over!


Her gifts

This cookbook was really cute, and I think she loved it!


My heart is full today as it was my last day to tutor my sweet little girl. She was super excited to see me after missing me on Monday afternoon. We almost ran to the library as fast as she walks! She opened my gifts and I was able to take some pictures of her and me together!!! Talk about exciting for me, I can scrapbook this!!! She LOVED her cookbook and apron (which had her name on it!!). Thanks to my Mom for taking the time to make it. I had her try it on and it fit like a glove! We read through her cookbook and spent the rest of the time visiting.

I'm sure going to miss my times with her. That was the highlight of my Monday afternoons. I feel more blessed because I had her in my life...if even for a short time!

Luke and Madison

Luke and Madison...she hates the camera!

Notice my blood shot eyes and no makeup....because I have cried it off....I feel so much for David and his wife Jennifer....their loss has made me appreciate and love our animals more. Luke and I are praying for them!!!!

Me & my angel

Luke and I took the opportunity to take a few pics of Madison last night. Luke's friend David lost their dog a few days ago. I have cried off and on for them most of the week! I am so tender hearted when it comes to people and their animals. I wanted to take a few pics of just us and Madison last night. She's a delight in our hearts and my little angel. In the next weeks to come I hope to take a few more of our outside critters because they are just as special to us! I didn't do that last night because Snoopy can't have the flash on the camera due to seizures!
