I'm Back!

Yes I am! We had a wonderful time at the Presbyters Meeting in Maypearl. They fed us so well. I bet I gained 5 lbs! So much for losing all that weight. The more I try the more I weigh! While the guys had their lonnng business meetings us ladies had tons of fun. Tuesday we went shopping at North Park Mall in Dallas and at lunch at P F Changs. It was so good. Then last night after a wonderful meal of shrimp scampi and this peach chicken (sounds weird but was fantastic) we had our Christmas Party and Dessert Bar. Heavens! This morning was a Brunch and a wonderful speaker, that I had to leave before she was half finished. We had to leave early to get to a funeral 20 miles south of Brownwood. Very sad to not get to finish hearing her. She was so good and I was really intrigued by her topic. It was on "girlfriends". Her theme scripture was Romans 1:12...I'm eager to encourage you in your faith, but I also want to be encouraged by yours. In this way, each of us will be a blessing to the other. She has a burden that we as the church have the secret that the world is stealing. Oh it was so good and I know I can't give it justice here, so I'll have to share it to all of you in person. In a nutshell we need each other. I wanted to stand up and shout..."We got it! You should join our bloggers club!" You are all such a blessing to me and you encourage me in the faith every day.

I'm glad to be home for a few days and then Thanksgiving will be here. I missed my ellie while I was gone. You know what I just love...coming around the corner and she sees me and smiles...like aw it's my grama...and I love her. She is my sweetie.

This is all the presbyters wives that were present and our district officials wives.

It sounds like it was a great message!
I'm glad you're back! I'm so thankful for you and your friendship. You inspire me to be more than I am, and to give what I have. I'm not all there (in more ways than one!), but I'm trying! Thanks for being you!

I am also so glad you are back. I could take a very long space telling you how i feel about you, but I think the best to say that is just simply say, "LANI, I LOVE YOU!"
