Birthday, Bob, Joy




Yesterday Tim and I celebrated his birthday. We went to Longhorn Steakhouse for lunch. Nothing like steak and mashed potatoes.  We don't eat much beef at all, so this is a treat.

We also stopped at a second-hand store in the area and had fun looking at lots of old furniture and stuff.

We had the kids over for ice cream last night. It was nice to see Ben, the girls, Sarah and Brianna.
It's hard to celebrate during the week because kids come from work and are tired. So glad they did this for Tim.

Tomorrow we will go with Ben and Rachel to the Rainforest with the girls.  That should be fun. They are 3 and 7 with long, blonde hair. I can't show photos since they are foster children, but they are adjusting nicely to their new home.

Ben and Rachel are adjusting as well.  We're seeing great follow-through with discipline. These girls are learning that what Mr. Ben and Mrs. Rachel say, they mean.  It wasn't like that a home. This is something the girls aren't used to at all.

I'm so glad God has put these girls into Ben and Rachel's home. They will learn of God's love. Seeds will be planted for their salvation in this home.

Tim got a Bob Ross Chia Pet from Brianna for Christmas. This is a picture from online of what it looks like.

 
 Check out Tim's. If  you look closely you can see the roots coming down into his face. To me they look like worms! I can't stand to look at this. EWWWWW!

We've gotten pictures up on the walls again. We even added some new pieces to the walls. We shopped at a place around here called, Old Time Pottery. We found a picture for the family room and two metal pieces as well. I'll get pictures soon.
It feels more like home now.

Our Cleveland Cavaliers are in the basement as far as NBA standings. With the loss of many players who are injured, especially Kevin Love, the Cavs have a reduced roster.  Tim and I watch games together, but sometimes it's so hard to watch the Cavs get pounded. We knew it would be a rebuilding year with Lebron James no longer on the team. We never thought it would be this bad though.


The Cleveland Cavaliers acquired Matthew Dellavedova a few weeks ago from the Milwaukee, Bucks. I was thrilled to hear the news. We call him 'Delly'. When he shoots a 3 point shot we say,
Deli Trey! Get if Delly 3 points?

As a demonstrator I get to pre-order a month ahead so I've been working on cards to show.

Such sadness goes on each and every day. My sister's family is continuing with a struggle. If you use prayer in your life, please pray for them.
A ten year old I worked with at PHCA 2 years ago was found to have a brain tumor a week ago. This little guy went through surgery where they got 80% of the tumor. They don't think it's cancerous but won't know for a week or two.  The rest of the tumor they couldn't remove without damaging the brain. He has some memory loss and they aren't sure if it will be permanent or not.
They continue to drain fluid from his brain. They are hoping his body will start to do this on its own. If not, a shunt will be put in next week.

Verse of the Day: James 1:2-8

Blessing of the Day: I got some things done that needed to get done.

Thanks for stopping by.
Blessings,
