01.19.15 Nice light yellow storage building

Roy and I shopped for a storage building for some time.  We decided upon the Heartland Rainer Gambrel Wood Storage Building from Lowe's.  It's a 10 x 10 building with a storage loft inside. We bought it as a kit for $998 (plus tax and $65 delivery) instead of paying $2,000 for one already built. … Continue reading 01.19.15 Nice light yellow storage building

Southeastern and LSU won their games Saturday by huge amounts.  They are both powerhouses in their conferences.  The bad news is that the Saints lost (oh how it hurts to say that word) to the Dirty Birds of Atlanta by a field goal in overtime in their first regular season game.  Our defense was rotten.… Continue reading 09.11.14 So what’s new??

In a blog post a while back I told ya'll about a visit we had from Marcus McMillian.  He's a young man we've considered one of our own sons since we first met him years ago.  On July 4th at a family gathering a pot of hot grease was accidentally knocked over on to Marcus… Continue reading 08.09.14 Prayers for Marcus

Tuesday, June 17, 2014 - I’m sitting in the surgical waiting room while Roy is in surgery to remove some lumps from his chest and back.
