Lucy...sweet Lucy

I have followed multiple blogs for a long time now....not even sure how I ran across some of them, but one in particular is the journey of a little girl with brain cancer. She's been doing pretty well until this week and now tonight, I couldn't sleep so I grab my iPad and when I check her Mom's blog, she reports that the cancer is back and there is nothing they can do. So sad....tears for Lucy and her family. Makes me want to go hug C and C, even thought they are snoozing away.... Guess I'll try and go back to sleep now. Lucy got to go to Disney and the lake house...makes all the little stuff seem so trivial. Pam

It's been years!!!

Like about 28 or so years...and devil's bowl speedway is all the same. Love love love the races....

Yes...it is 4:37am and....

We officially stayed up all night at Speed Zone for the after Graduation Party. At this moment, Chelsey is asleep in a booth and Colby is playing video games. Good times....great night!

They flipped their

Tassels!!!!! One happy Mom Nd Daddy headed home now.....

It took a village...

I have to write this tonight, because I am not sure that I can tomorrow night.... We often hear 'it takes a village' for this and that. I think it took a village to get Chelsey and Colby to that stage tomorrow night. Grand parents, aunts, uncles, cousins, their sister, and friends have all said "I can't believe they are graduating!" I can't either honestly...it has taken a village to get them there. That village is every sister, grand parent, aunt , uncle, cousin and friend that has ever worried about, loved, and wondered about those two. There is also a group that will be watching from above....My Granny Spencer, Pa Bill, Papa Dosey, Granny Bobbie, uncle Donny and many others, the five I have named will be particularly be missed tomorrow night, because I am 100% certain they would have loved to see it. As we all sit and watch it unfold tomorrow night, I take comfort that this group is sitting together smiling above...as we smile here. This is my thank you to each of you for being such and important part of Chelsey and Colby's life and I can't wait for us to all see the next chapter together, worrying about them, loving them and wondering about them each day. We all had a little hand in is village.... Much love and a tear or two, PK P.S. ONE.MORE.DAY!!!!!!

Grasshoppers!

Danny and I slept until 11:30 today then we were up and off for a ride...so we headed up to Texoma. (yes, I love it up there!). We rode around several marinas, crossed over into Oklahoma and then back to Texas. On our way home, I noticed all this "stuff" on the road. After a while I realized that it was grasshoppers...all over the road. Danny thought I was nuts as usual, until he finally realized that I was correct! Crazy....other things we saw were a deer that had been hit, a sign that said "heifers AND quail for sale" and the best of all was a sign for a veggie stand that was "one / corter mile ahead". Made me laugh! Two work days then I am off Thursday for Graduation and Friday to recover! Have a good week all PK

One down....one to go!

Baccalaureate complete!
