A Prayer Shawl of Importance

I recently finished a prayer shawl for Joe's Mom Betty. I thought about making her one in a different color or pattern, but this was truly the one the Lord intended for her. She's been in poor health for a while and has recently gone downhill. Joe has been one of my best friends for years and I was thrilled and honored to be able to give this to his mother. She was in good spirits last night at the hospital and seemed to really enjoy the company and comfort we brought to her!

Prayer Shawl Meeting

Our Ladies: Mom, Cindy Davis, Bobbi Wilkins, Lisa Webb, and Jodi Brock

We were able to prayer over this laprobe Mom made..it's just too pretty!

Our Prayer Shawl Ladies are simply wonderful. This morning we had a great time of visiting and fixing patterns for those who have major problems with knitting....aka...ME!!! After our meeting we were all able to meet at Chick Fila for lunch. I just love these gals!

Crazy George!!!

I am sitting here reading my emails and all of a sudden I hear some rustling behind me. At the Williams household, that's never a good sign. I turn around and this is what I see...a cat in a box! Go figure!

Happy 4th of July!

We celebrated the fourth of July in Neosho, Missouri visiting family. It was a quick trip for Luke and me. We drove up on Friday and came home on Saturday. We had a wonderful celebration and fellowship with family. Aunt Val even flew in for the festivities. Ma fixed a wonderful taco dinner complete with all the fixings. Aunt JJ made an ice cream dessert that was yummy! Aunt Linda even helped make a dump cake. Aunt Viv brought her homemade chocolate pies....yummy! We shared stories, knitting patterns and crochet ideas, played cards (well I didn't...and I still owe Aunt Val some money...LOL), and shared a lot of laughter. Mom, Dad, Luke, and I all stayed at the Super 8 in Neosho because that's always where Uncle George and Aunt Linda stayed. Well, come to find out, Uncle George and Aunt Linda stayed this time at the Best Western because that's where we always stayed! Too funny!

Luke and I in Alaska...June 2003

This past Sunday, June 28th Luke and I celebrated 6 years of marriage. We had a wonderful weekend. Luke brought me home flowers on Friday night. On Saturday we worked some around the house, got a surprise bouqet of flowers from Mom and Dad, and then went to dinner at Cozymels. It was delicious. Luke even surprised me with Keith Urban concert tickets...yes!!!We also went to see The Proposal at the Chenal Movie theatre. It was a great movie...and very fitting for us. It was set in Alaska, which is where we spent our honeymoon some 6 years ago. It's been an amazing 6 years and I can't wait for many more years together!

Luke and I went out with Jason and Alicen this past Friday night. Boy were we in for a surprise! We got to their house about 6:30 and waited on them to finish getting ready. What we didn't know is that they have been waiting on us forever!!! They had a little surprise they wanted to share....they're PREGNANT!!!! I was so happy I squealed! I can't wait to find out what they are having. Luke and I were so excited for them! We went to Cozymels and had the best food....I could have eaten 2 more enchiladas....and I'm not the one pregnant LOL!! We are so blessed to have friends like them....I am just so excited for them! Congrats Jason and Alicen and baby "France" LOL!!!

Sweet Lily and her Bunny!

I knitted Lily a bunny baby a little while ago. I had a blast making it and I was hoping she would love it. Christylee came by this afternoon and Lily held onto her rabbit....even carrying it in her teeth! It made me feel so good to know she loved it. Maybe she'll like it as much as I did my Cindy (my doll I slept with forever, who even went to Alaska with us on our honeymoon! Don't worry though, now she resides in my sock drawer...it was a sad day the day I retired her to the socks!). Christylee and I went to Walmart, and I had a blast pushing Lily in the cart....I'm so blessed to be an Aunt!!!

Just for kicks I thought I'd put Cindy on the blog. This doll is named after Cinderella...she is a 2 sided doll, but I just liked this side. My poor Grandma had to sew her eyes and mouth I don't know how many times....not to mention repairing her dress. The backside of her head has bald spots where I used to scratch it at night. I remember the thread of her head being cold, and I would scratch it until I fell asleep. Hopefully Lily's bunny one day will be as loved as my old Cindy still is!
