IT IS BEGINNING

When I came home from church last night and came to computer to check email, I found a picture of my oldest granddaughter, Aryn.  At first when I looked at it, I wasn't sure it was her, but lo and behold, it was and is.  It is one of her senior pictures taken by a local photographer.  I am so used to seeing her in a basketball or volleyball uniform, it was nice to see her in some other way.  It makes me realize it is the beginning of a new life for her....graduating from high school, going to college, and then out into the world.  A sad and happy time. As we all say, I remember the day she was born and it seems like yesterday.
Jesse went to church with us last night but he will be going to his mother's house for the rest of the week and weekend.  She and Murphy are having him every other weekend.  The divorce will be final on September 10th, and we are praying that all settles down a little after that. We are also praying she can get help and get well.  She has changed jobs 5 times since they split up, so we are praying for a job she can keep.


Hint for today - the one thing that bugs us all--------
Keep your socks together in the wash and dry process. Get some safety pins and keep them by the washing machine for your socks .Pin the toes of the socks together so you save time matching them up after the laundry process.

  8. Aryn turns out very nicely. She looks good in street clothes. I didn't recognize her either. I hope she will pick a trade and not go to college. I'm concerned they'll turn her into another Socialist, she could rack up a $100,000 debt, then have no job worthy of that debt upon graduating. Happens too frequently these days. Might wanna put that bug in her ear. Learn a trade.
    There's too much divorce anymore. Our small town newspaper is full of young people calling it quits. The saddest thing of all is how it is so devasting to children. How sad.
    Hope your day is blessed. ~:)

    1. She goes next weekend to commit to U of Ala, Huntsville on a full ride including dorm, books, everything - basketball scholarship plus her grade point average is 3.8, which covers some of the things as well. She wants to be an accountant like her Dad....

    3. Good choice. That was my profession as well. I took night courses and learned from others. I always enjoyed accounting. ~:)

    Divorce is hard on everyone, but especially the kids. Hoping and praying that everything settles down soon.

  10. Aryn is so pretty - she looks like a model! Good for her for that scholarship.
    I do hope things settle down for Murphy, and Jesse too.
    I love your header. I've found myself in that position a time or two.
