Yesterday was quite a day, indeed.
There was morning Bible Study with some of my most favorite people. Robin, Waneta, Christina, and April.
“Our” new baby, Victoria, was here for the very first time. Such a pretty, pretty baby!
Along with the Moms were all the children, friends and comrades together with our most capable babysitters, Ivy and Aubrey, and they behaved so well. Riding the trikes, traipsing over the farm, climbing on the hay, watching videos, playing with Legos, getting fruit snacks, animal crackers and apple juice.. It was wonderful to see them all again. Carson, Nevin, Sarah, Daniel, Malinda, Justin, Jerron, Bethany, D.W., Faith. We were missing Destiny and Kaylin along with their sweet Momma, Becky, for the third week in a row. Hurry and get well, girlies, PLEASE!
I cooked up two chickens and made a big pot of chicken corn noodle soup. I almost could not function because of this troublesome tooth. I had lost the crown the other morning, and the dentist said to come in to get it reglued. I think the dentist sighs whenever she hears that I am coming, and I sigh, too. But after thinking that maybe it was going to be okay, it went into a torque yesterday, and gave me all sorts of trouble. I am to see about a root canal on Monday, but this was too much pain. So I finally called to see if they could give me a prescription for an antibiotic (I know that this is the pain of an abscess), and the dentist agreed, and said that she would call it right in. I don’t think she wanted to see me. Anyhow, that got started, and hopefully, the infection will be gone by the time I see the specialist on Monday.
Raph’s Sweet Karen Girl comes today, Lord Willing. Our family has looked forward to this weekend with much anticipation. We pray for traveling mercies for her as she drives alone from Columbus, Ohio, to Delaware. I am amazed at the abilities and courage of young people today, though perhaps the trip here won’t be as challenging as meeting this exuberant family of Raph’s.
My heart and hands are busy with many things on this sunshiney day.

Bravo for antibiotics!!!! Hope they do the trick and you will be in fine shape to have a great weekend! So this is the first meeting of Sweet Karen Girl. Something serious? If so, I hope you really like her.
So….have a great weekend with the new girl!! What are you gonna cook for the cook?? haha. This is such an exciting/fun/scary time of life, isn’t it?? What is funny is that “we” are as nervous as “they” are but they don’t know that so it’s ok!! We’ll expect details Monday – and tell Raph we hope to see her in church and if he will be up front playing he will get to introduce her from there:) Love ya girl!
I remember Karen from Rosedale..she’s a super nice gal. I’m so happy for Raph!
Good evening! Just want you to know sister Susan has her own Xanga now. User name ourmissbrooks.I am sure she’d welcome your comments!

Hubby is home!!!!! While he is catching up on the news,comings and goings from son Brent maybe I’ll later be able to Xanga some. Brent usually comes to visit while his Dad is home or they talk at length by phone. You folks have a nice weekend and give my “hello” to Little Miss Karen!
Hey, hope you’re enjoying my daughter! She is truly a treasure! Thanks for your good advice.
I never tire of your posts. Bring ’em on! I’m glad you’re enjoying Karen. She is very at home in the kitchen, and no doubt, enjoyed working with you just as much as you did her. Hope your tooth is feeling better.
you poor poor people…. having to meet karen like this, i am truely sorry and i hope she didnt get in the way to much
How is your tooth? Few things more painful than dental pain! Been there done that, it is no fun!
Glad your tooth situation is improving. I loved hearing about your experiences with the elderly.
