Bird Island…Steve & Mindi's grandson 

Avi watching over her chicks
they are twice this size now!

Chicken run and coop…I built the run…the coop was already there.
It was a playhouse for the boys when they were little.

My garden  when I first planted it..the tomatoes are higher than
the house now!

A side trail in the Smokies to an old logging road. Ruins of  something?

Its been six months since I have written ... I feel God’s press

that its time to write again.

So much has happened since January...

In March I decided to get baby chicks...I love animals and somehow it’s sorta been therapy to me...I started a garden and have lots of tomatoes!

I love watching things grow! Even the baby chicks which are

now about 3 months old and starting to look like chickens!

I notice each little change ... Its amazing what God has made and the way He made us!

There has been much change in me too! I still can’t wait to see Mell again and I stand on that Hope! I don’t think that will ever change, but the intense pain has eased and I hate thinking that someone else has to endure such PAIN!

My friend who just lost her dad called the other day and now her 16 year old dog is near death. Her intense pain reminded me of how we need to cherish the time we have with our loved ones...slow down and smell the roses!

I have endured several small accidents and with each I found myself missing Mell all the more. With each I could hear him say...”You be careful” “OK?”...He was always telling me to be careful in everything I did...so maybe I forget to be careful without him...but I always hear him afterwards! Oh well...so much for hindsight!

I spent 8 days at the Island...my longest trip since losing Mell...

Have done several backpacks...

I Started a new small group in my home...God has been good...and I can’t complain.

Psalm 145:3

Great is the Lord, and greatly to be praised,
    and his greatness is unsearchable.
