Birthday,,,,,,,,

No I'm not having another Birthday again so soon. However, when Rollie and Gina arrived here June 29Th, it was a week after my Birthday and they had a couple birthday presents for me. Hallelujah, I love surprises and I wanted to show them to you.

A fantastic Birthday Card and beautiful Picture Frame that encloses the poem "Letter from Heaven".   The Poem is so wonderful and meaningful. It brought immediate tears to my eyes, and still does each time I read it.......


The reason it is so meaningful to me is that it must be sent from Heaven.  I know it is exactly what my boys would want to say to me and so true.  Gina and Rollie are "Angels" and delivered this to me from Heaven.  It will always mean so much to me.......it came from my boys.


The other present they brought me was this beautiful Cross made from "Barb Wire".  They remembered my Windmill made from "Barb Wire" that I found at a vendors booth in Yuma, AZ last winter and was so fond of.  They knew I would love this Cross and they were absolutely correct....I love it!!! Thank you both so much!!!
I also received this "Genuine" Harley Davidson birthday card from Lisa and Randy, Ms Pat's daughter and son-in-Law. I have become quite attracted to Harley items.  It is beautiful and I love the message it carries.....
Isn't it neat? Thank you Lisa and Randy. Thanks also to Terri, Ms Pat's other daughter for the card that played "Happy Birthday" to me when I opened it.......I loved it and Megabyte2 enjoyed it to!!  She walks around it trying to find out where that strange noise is coming from. :-)  Ms Pat's son Scott and both Lisa and Terri called me on the morning of my birthday with their personal wishes.  Thanks so much to you all. Your love means so much to me.  I love you all VERY MUCH!

Ok, thats it.  I promise not to mention my Birthday again.  It is over and we are on our way to another.

We are heading to Rapid City this morning to order the lumber and materials to begin putting a small apartment in our Toy Barn. Rollie and Rocky Rhoades have been busy on the phone making plans and designs as Ms Pat is requesting. Rollie and Ms Pat were laying it out and measuring it all up the last few days.  It's gonna be neat!  Stay tuned for our progress.......Rollie is anxious to start driving nails and Rocky and Sheri will be here in a few days to join in.  We are so blessed with these kids and their willingness to help us. It is such a joy to be around them. They have changed our lives and given us a new lease on life.  Praise the Lord.

Check Rollie and Gina's Blog to see more on what our plans are and all we have been doing.*
