What a long and happy birthday weekend I had starting last Thursday.

I went fishing with some great friends, N.G. and Julie, for three days and then had a wonderful night with my son Chris and his family.

The Lord made grandchildren so you could cuddle on the sofa and watch children’s movies!

I visited with more friends on Sunday night. Thank you, friends and family, for making me feel so special.

I now own a R. E. Conley original oil painting from the artist himself. Conley won the people’s choice award at the Lost Pines Art Alliance this year. Thank you Bobby for painting that for me.

And I would like to thank my boy Jonathan for working for Bobby to pay for the frame. I am so blessed.

Andrea (Sissy) Ray is home again from the hospital.

She recently had surgery on a herniated disc in her back on July 20 at St David’s Hospital in Austin. After complications and two more tries, it looks like they finally got it fixed.

We are all thinking about you and praying for a speedy recovery.
