It has been a COLD week in East Texas and we are looking for a warm up!
This picture was of our beautiful Camalia bush- in full bloom- BEFORE the big freeze. Dave covered it but the cover blew off in the night and MUCH to his dismay- all the blooms are now history. Next year we'll do a better job! We hit a low of 17 here which is absolutely FRIGID for East Tx. We are READY for spring.
Amy and family hosted a wondeful Valentine's party for the cousins- Henry and Jonah were there earlier in the day and Ash, Jay and Cole at night. Jordan opted to be home that day! Later Brian, Amy and Dave and I enjoyed a pizza by the fireside in their bedroom retreat area....very nice!
We enjoyed dinner with our cousins Larry and Sue last night and then had the Smith's spend the night with us due to their well pump being out. WE didn't see much of them as they went to bed as soon as they got here and left as soon as we got up this morning.

Dave is busy working in his "well house" getting his workbench all completed so we can move the things from the garage out there.
It is a bit crowded in the garage!
<<<<<
But..he has been working hard and I am so proud of ALL the things he accomplishes! With a minimum of bandaids too! What a guy! How blessed I am!

Kelly is doing better..her mom is here now to care for her and Jordan and Jon. I'm sure they are all taking full advantage of all her skills...and she is there all night to take care of Jordan if she awakens...like she did this week with the flu! Poor Jon and Kelly...Kelly scrubbing carpet with her back brace and all! She has to wear the brace for 6 weeks- 5 now- and is learning to do things to care for Jordan in spite of the brace! Thank the Lord for the brace- the tech. that fitted Kelly said this used to be a body CAST.... Kelly is looking much better these days but thought you might want to see her the day after...I'm sure Kelly will appreciate this!
We love you Kelly and we are SOooooooooo very glad that GOD spared your life and you are still here with us! To GOD be the glory!

So sad about your camelia bush--it looked SO pretty in the picture! Glad you had a fun Valentine's dinner. I hear it's supposed to warm back up next week, I'm keeping my fingers crossed! :)
I'm sad about that bush, too. It really was beautiful to see especially to those of us looking out the window at snow.
I'm so excited for you to get to hear Beth Moore. She was just hear this weekend, too. I could not go because of all of the walking involved and my foot is not healed yet, maybe next time. I heard she was fantastic. Enjoy her speaking for me, too will you? I watch her on TV every chance I get on Life Today.
Linked to you through Ginger's page. I too am envious of your getting to hear Beth Moore. She is one I would love to hear in person and so enjoy her when she is on Life Today. We are so blessed with so many wonderful teachers pouring out The Word to us in very practical ways.
Hey Mb, it might be time for an update! :) Maybe you could blog about your Colorado trip!
