Life from the Parsonage - A Journal of our Journey.

[ozark hen]

Oh, Gwen, you mentioned the little yellow plane that crop dusts...we had one around here..yellow and white..but he was killed in a plane crash within the last six months or so. So sad!! Glad Laramie is doing better. Mostly, glad to have you back !!

 

[Parson's Wife]

Oh my! That is sad! I sure hope it wasn't the crop duster I like to watch...

I still haven't seen it, and they have been working the fields...besides the last 3 days...we had bad weather come in...snow too!

It was all gone by the time Sunday morning church was over.

So far 3 little chicks have arrived, a 4th is working steadily...kinda worried about this batch...not seeing much movement or sound within the eggs....

I'm fairly certain I have some RIR (mutts), and a beautiful silver...it's black and yellow with silver...a mutt, but nonetheless a dear.

It was the 1st one born yesterday!

I'm am rushing, rushing, rushing...so excited! The conf. is Friday!!!

everything is coming together very nicely. I'm currently sewing sleeves....

Yes, I'll take pics.
I've got the idea for my fruit display...currently gathering all items (not the fruit yet) and the food is taken care of....
Menu:
Ham
Porkloin
BBQ beans
Green beans
potato salad and may do the commercial instant potatoes (some do not like potato salad)
corn
coleslaw
cornbread muffins /rolls
dessert; sheet cakes and the fruit table
relish tray
tea

Goodness, I don't even have time to visit! I'm taking a short break and it's over....
We are planning a short trip to Mobile, AL..."campmeeting"

WHAT??????????????????? NO COLE SLAW?????????????????? Well, durn it, here I was planning on sneaking in for some of that spread but shoot!! Now I have to have cole slaw with all that!

Seriously, Gwen that sounds wonderful. You have this all under control! Can't wait to see the pics. Good luck!!

 

[Parson's Wife]

Actually I do have coleslaw on the menu....

It's not down....also, serving fruits & relish trays too...

Kay's making it...we made it in a HUGE tub for the poor boy supper...that was a hoot!

Here are pictures of the finished product....now, I'm waiting for tomorrow night...my evangelist arrive this evening.

Hope you like, I had fun decorating, did it just like I wanted, and it turned out pretty well.

Theme: Pearl of Great Price....and here is the effort.

This is the table I arranged for the fruit display...I will try to get a picture Sat. morn early...before the morning service...(with the fruits in there...

)

The table in the foyer is the check-in table...it's one of the two hands I purchased for the event.
The serving bar with the chafing dishes...and I found goblets...yes, plastic..but they look nice...I was wanting some...

 

[ozark hen]

Gwen, that is absolutely beautiful!

goo job

It is so very inviting and very, very tasteful

 

[Parson's Wife]

Thank you Ozark!

We had a wonderful time!! Friday night was a packed house, and Sat. was a big turn-out...we had a wonderful service, and lots of fun.

I have a prayer request to share:
PLease say a prayer for my nephew, he is set for heart surgery on Tues. it is a major heart surgery...he had one about 3 yrs ago, and it took 14 hours. Still didn't fix the problem, and well...too many details.
He is 18 and a talented handsome fellar who is in need of prayer.

I will share more pictures soon, and more details...rushing today, lots to do.

[ozark hen]

You bet he has our prayers! Please keep us posted as to his condition. I take it he is having it at Cox?
I can't wait to see the pics. How did the ladies react when they saw all the work you had put into the hall? I think it was very elegant for them.

 

[Zookeeper9000]

Gwen nice job on that hall bet everyone had a great time.

Will be praying for your Nephew, hang in there.

 

[Parson's Wife]

Hello,
Just wanted to post that my nephew is doing good...considering. Had a few complications, but God is good, and soon will be recovering in his own home.
Oh, the surgery only went 6 hours instead of the expected 8, and that's way better than the 14 hrs from the last surgery.


We are having a lovely day here. The chickens are enjoying it. I must say though, I had complete failure from the last 2 batches of eggs I tried to hatch.

And with Spring here, I don't have time to hatch anymore...well, maybe one more batch...we'll see.

Have encountered a difficulty. My son was golfing (practicing his swing) and a golf ball hit my roo, he has been hoping on one leg. Today though, he's walking but favoring that leg. Hope he is ok. Some might not think it would be some to worry about...you haven't met my son. Strong? Samson strong....ya betcha!
T-ball is starting...and well, it burns to catch a ball from him.
Poor Roo....(they were ranging in the backyard with us, in the fenced area....

Some days, I wish I could tell what I knew...I'm just busting!

We have been busy around here...
Sunday was church, resthome service, church, Monday evening was revival (not ours, we attended another church in our fellowship) then Tues. all day with nephew....today, well lovely, but church night and the rest of the week goes pretty much the same.
We are gathering our 'stuff' for a church yardsale. It is not junk...it's stuff.

And...would you believe I have an anniversary coming up as well? Yup, God is good.
I quote "he who findeth a wife, findeth a good thing" quite regular!

Reminding him how blessed he is to have me....

But the Rev. always quotes a few back to me too....

Well, we have 2 ladies in the hospital, one beginning chemo Thurs. and I have to get us ready, school is over and we've got to go visiting.

My (I claim it as mine...

) yellow plane is on the cover of the phone book! I will copy it off, it's a great picture! Was thrilled when we got back and checked our mail!
Had a great Bible conf. arrived home last night....(it was my anniversary

) and began early this morning with Angel Food. Fixing to leave for a 'tent' revival tonight. Very excited! My old college choir is singing and ministering there....and yes, we are taking a van load of people! Some have never been to a tent revival. Having to dress warmly, Winter is trying to blow it's last breath this year. Snowing in parts of Arkansas...just cold and windy here. Dressing warmly, pulling out the thick sock tights, boots and long heavy skirts for us...and thermals for my menfolk.
But spirits are high, and the sun is trying to peep out. Oh, my
looked at the clock....I've gotta go...
