Everything is just Peachykeen, with Grandmother. Thank You Lord! They moved her out of I.C.U. yesterday morning, she is eating good and telling the nurses what to do. So that means she is about back to normal. She will have to stay a week or so until she gets her strengh built back up. They have the car'bon diox'ide about down to normal, and the fluid about out of her lungs. They have her sitting up in a chair a little longer each day. Thanks for all of your prayers. I'll write more later. Jakrson

Good evening one and all, we arrived back home last evening at 8:35. A wonderful time was had by one and all! I should start at the begining, Honey and I left our house at 4:30 Friday morning. We got over to Charles and Karen's at 4:55, while we waited for Junior and Sharon, & their girls we drank another cup of coffee. They got there about 5:15, then we loaded Karen's van with all it would hold. Then we managed to get the rest in our car, but they were both crammed full to the hilt. We did manage to get on the way by 5:30, which was the plan. The traffic was light all the way, that was very nice. Sharon drove Karen's van with all the women and girls in it. I drove our car with Charles, Junior, and me in it, that worked out really well. Our first stop was in Salisbury, for breakfast. Next we had a bathroom stop in Wadesboro, then in Rockingham. When we hit highway 74 the speed limit was 65 & 70 MPH., so we were able to make it on to Whiteville, for our last pit stop. We had a detour on 179 on the way to Sunset, where they were building a new bridge. So it was 11:45 when we got to our house, it was a two story house. There was two bedrooms, a kitchen livingroom and a full bath downstaires for Junior, Sharon, Abbey, and Emma. Then there was three big bedrooms, two full baths, large kitchen and livingroom upstaires, plus a large screened in porch on both levels, with plenty of chairs,and rocking chairs on both of them. The first evening Junior and Charles took the girls to the beach, Abbey loved getting the water and waves, but Emma was scared to death of the waves especialy, so Charles brought her back in about 15 mins. The next morning Emma wanted to go back to the beach with them, so they took her again but had to bring her right back to the house. Later that evening when it started to cool bown a little, I took the girls back to the beach by my self. I slowly helped Emma to walk out to her knees while I held her hand, she got use to the little waves. Then she asked me to pick her up and go out further, I gradually went on out until the waves were coming up above my waist and onto her bottom, and legs. She had a great time, then as it was starting to get dusky, Junior, Sharon, Honey, Karen and Charles came out onto the pier and all of them took pictures of her. We went up on the pier too and everyone bragged to her what a big girl she was. We had so much food that it was a sin, but we were happy. Andy and Cindy came down about 3:30 Saturday and had a wonderful supper with them. Everyone walked on the beach after supper, we talked and laughed and had a big ole time. We tried to get them to stay in our extra room but they had to go home, they left about 9:00. Sunday morning we held our own church services on the front porch, that was very nice. There wasn't any rain all weekend. But Monday morning it was sprinkling when we got up, when the sun came up there was a beautiful rainbow, we got to take some pictures of it before it stoped raining. After breakfast we got all packed-up, and the car and van loaded, then we cleaned the house up and all of us went up on the roof deck and took pictures of everyone with the pier and waves in the background. Then we all told the ocean and beach good bye, and just did get our keys turned in on time. First we went to Calabash, to Chalahands to look and shop a little. Then we went Captain Nancey's to eat fish. We stoped at a gas station to fill-up with Push-water, and lit out for hame at 1:15, we ran into some showers on the way. But they weren't hard enough to slow us down. We ate at a Chic-fillet, in Wadesborogh on the way home. A good time was had by all. Thank You Lord for a safe trip, and a wonderful weekend! Jakrson

The women and children are going to ride in Charles & Karen's van. and the men are going to ride in Gladys' car. The van has a DVD player in it for the girls to watch movies on. We will probally have a good time on the trip down there. We should get there by 11:00 or 11:30, after stoping 8 or 10 times to use the bathroom, HA! HA! I need to get up and start helping Honey get things packed- up. I'll write and tell you about our trip after we get back next week. Jakrson

This morning Sharon and Emma came to visit us. Today is Emma's fourth birthday, thats hard to believe isn't it? Last weekend she found her mammaw Sherrill's scisors, and cut her pretty red hair. Sharon had to take her to her hair dresser and get her a new hair style. It is short but looks good on her. They ate lunch with us and mammaw Hattie, as Emma says. I played outside with her for an hour or two, we had a great time. She had to go to the bottom of the hill to see Nugget the cat, and George, the peacock. Then we went to the neighbors that raises golden labs. to sell. And see their 31 new puppies, how cute they are. After lunch I went up to see Grandmother, she is doing good and is still happy at Lenoir Healthcare Center. All she ever wants is choclate candy, and sometimes she has me bring her a bologna sandwich, or some crackers with lots of peanut butter in them. Last week she asked me to bring her some fryed chicken wings, from KFC. It dosen't take much to keep her happy! She loves to recieve cards and short notes from people. I stayed about two hours with her, we talked and had a good visit. I hope that all of you are feeling well, and have a good nights sleep. I'll write again later. Jakrson

Good morning to one and all, we sure do have a beautiful morning here. I hope you all do also. The sun is shining and everything looks so good out side. I'll have to get out and find something to do even if it's wrong. I know I have some plants to set out. We've had 6 or more inches of rain this last week and everything sure is growing, including the weeds. So I will have to keep up with them, or they'll get ahead of me. Jakrson

Howdy to all of you out there. Hi Penny, I'm so glad to learn that you are reading my postings. I do love Mrs. Marple, she is so sweet! Since Honey gave me her old camera I hope to learn how post some pics. on the computer. I do like to see your pics. keep up the good work. now for the weather report, we had 1.4 inches of rain yesterday. That should keep the drought at bay. My well is full again so the ground water level is back up to normal, thank you Lord! We bought some more flowers and tomatoe plants yesterday, so I had better get out of here and get them set out. We have sunshine this for the first time in four days. Later, Jakrson
