Home - New Car

May 24 - Monday - Sunny and humid

When we arrived home on Sunday as we were going through the mail and Lou had a letter from Dr. Nespola telling him of his recent blood studies. We were absolutely elated with the results. Every study that he had done for his yearly physical were improved from a year ago. Susie told him vacationing certainly suited him and that he should be thinking of getting on the road again.

Lou said that Susie's mommy was good for him! Whatever the reason, we were very encouraged and very grateful.

Lou and I are praying for Susie and Tim as they are watching a very dear aunt live her last few weeks on this earth. All of this brings back the memories Susie has of her father dying and how difficult it was for her to watch that progress continue. Susie said that was going to be her first question to God, as to why people linger so long when they just want to go home with Christ.

Today Lou and I went to pick up our new car that we had ordered. We now are in possession of a 2010 Malibu LTZ, the color is Silver Ice Metallic, with gray/black interior, leather heated seats, sun roof and any other option we could think of to order. Very similar to Lou's Saturn.

We traded in both of our cars and purchased one car. Far more practical than two new cars in our family. We combined inventories tonight and have it ready to go. We purchased a protective package and have an appointment on Tuesday to have it installed.

We stopped and picked up live and silk flowers for the cemeteries and stopped by Catlin Hollow to do my parents and Al's grave and will do Lou's family tomorrow. In fact, tomorrow after my appointment with the doctor we are going to work in the cemetery in Whitneyville. The man that Lou looks after asked if he could help him and we were delighted with his offer and took him up on his generous offer. We had asked for volunteers at church, but no one came to our aid.

Spencer,what do you think of your grandad's car? He said he sure would like to have an e-mail from you. He sees that you read his blog and that pleases him. Spencer is the grandson that is a Second Lieutenant in the Army and stationed in Fort Campbell, KY. He is the first son to Janet and Brion and brother to Casey.

Daisy, I included the picture of Daddy's stone, so you could see what the flowers on his and your mother's grave look like. Hope you approve, I thought they looked good together, we are limited on what we can do in Catlin Hollow.
