Catch Up

Hello everyone! I haven't posted in a while. I haven't been home long enough. I think we will be home for a few days now. The texans are coming tomorrow on their way to Florida. I'm ready to see them already though.

Ponchatoula High School Graduation is tonight. I want to congratulate Logan, Morgan, Kristen, Roxanne, and the rest of the graduates. I will be praying that you have a wonderful and safe graduation night. You should be proud of your accomplishments thus far. Jer. 29:11 For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the Lord, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future." Always look to Him and you will not go wrong.

I would also like to congratulate our son-in-law on a great campaign and ultimate victory in his School Board election. We are very proud of you and hope you have a wonderful time at your induction tonight. We enjoyed participating in yor campaign.

Six more days until we find out if our Floridians are having a male or female. I'm guessing girl. I think I am in the minority though. My Starshine has already named the new baby Reuben.

Thanks for your prayers for Alanna, she seems to be feeling better. She sent us pictures of her with her new vehicle and you could see baby Traylor in her belly. It was cute!

I don't know why our daughters left the great state of Louisiana so please indulge me as I give them a few reminders of why they lived here:

THINGS YOU LEARN LIVING IN LOUISIANA:
1. Possums sleep in the middle of the road with their feet in the air.
2. There are 5,000 types of snakes and 4,998 live in LOUISIANA.
3. There are 10,000 types of spiders. All 10,000 live in LOUISIANA plus a couple no one's seen before.
4. If it grows, it sticks; if it crawls, it bites.
5. Onced and twiced are words.
6. It is not a shopping cart; it is a buggy.
7. Fire ants consider your flesh as a picnic.
8. People actually grow and eat okra.
9. Fixinto is one word.
10. There is no such thing as "lunch". There is only dinner and then there is supper.
11. Ice tea is appropriate for all meals and you start drinking itwhen you're two. We do like a little tea with our sugar!
12. Backwards and forwards means "I know everything about you."
13. Jeet? is actually a phrase meaning "Did you eat?"
14. You don't have to wear a watch because it doesn't matter what time it is.You work until you' re done or it's too dark to see.
15. You don't PUSH buttons, you MASH them.

They have carried some of these traditions to their new homes though so maybe they are just evangelizing the world.

Al has 8 more days to drive before retirement! That is exciting. We are blessed and cannot wait to see what God has in store for us. (Hopefully it involves sleep)

My girl Janice and her husband are coming June 1-10. I am so excited to see them. We have been missing them bad!

Puddin's baby dedication was wonderful, she is blessed and is a blessing. I miss my Sunshine now that I'm home I don't have anyone to drink.....I mean watch my ICEE.

Please continue praying for my Mom. She is sounding stronger and getting out more. She is scared to go back to Houston at the end of the month for her results though.

I think I want Apolo to win dancing with the stars. I would not be unhappy if Joey wins. I would be unhappy if Laila wins, the guys are much better.

Have a Blessed Day!
