At Week's End...

It's the end of the week, and the end of James' last vacation for 2008...."whew"! The man has worked me nearly to my death.....oy vey!!! I'm realizing that with age, I am just not the good ranch hand I used to be......my body aches in places that I have forgotten were even there....
BUT....we have accomplished MUCH this week.... Our hall bathroom is now completely remodeled and I must admit that "together" we did a good job....yep...we still make a good team. My dad would be proud of us.... One of our favorite memories of him is when he and James would finish a task and dad would take off his gloves, shake hands with James and say, "We make a good team!" Yes, daddy, it's all about team work and I remember that lesson well......

With the bath completed, (see picture link at bottom of sidebar on the left) new flooring here and there, I can now focus on the "homecoming" of our sons and their families.....CAN'T WAIT! I am actually looking forward to the chaos....the laughter....the fun...the FOOD...and the joy on the faces of my grands as they enjoy the freedom that farm life brings.... I suppose the one thing I don't enjoy is all the noise the guns make.... With two sons and one grandson that sometimes seem to live to shoot, there will be lots of noise from that activity..... That reminds me... I need to call my neighbors to let them know (more like "warn" them) that the Tatum Kids are coming home and NOT to call the sheriff....it's just those boys again....

Okay, so I'm excited......but for now, on this day, I shall be preparing my heart and my thoughts for a wonderful day of worship tomorrow as freely we gather in God's chosen place for us. I love church....and my life is so blessed....what a wonderful way to thank God.....being obedient to His calling and His command to worship Him with other believers.... I LOVE IT!!!!
