The Stork Is Filling The Quiver...

"... Yes, sons are a gift from the Lord, the fruit of the womb is a reward. Sons born during one’s youth are like arrows in a warrior’s hand. How blessed is the man who fills his quiver with them!" Psalm 127:1-5

The Drugger family are expecting the stork again! Wow! What a family... I do admire them because they are really, really neat. Read the fox news article here: http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,354694,00.html

I love big families because there is usually so much love, sharing and caring in them. They, usually, have a good work ethic because it is a real necessity. They, usually, aren't selfish either because they do learn to share. My great grandmothers and grandmothers had lots of children, but I had to quit at six. I got tired! Six kids in eight years was the most I could handle. I felt that was what God wanted for me and quit. Although, at times, I thought about a seventh, the perfect number, but I was afraid I would have 3 since there were triplets in my family history. Yes, six was good for me!

Everyone can't have a lot of children, but for those who can like the Druggers and they enjoy it... all I can say is go for it! I can't complain because... Blessed Is The Man Who's Quiver Is Full!!!

A Nice Rain...

We got a nice rain that we needed very much. We had corn, onions, radishes and potatoes just getting ready to poke through. I haven't been out yet, but with the rain, the plants are probably through the ground today. It is really starting to get exciting in the garden world.

Also, I pushed my luck a little. I planted some early tomato plants. I know that, here in Ohio, the frost free date isn't until May 15. I do have tomatoes cages up and I can slip a plastic garbage bag over my cages if necessary. So, definitely, I'm going to watch the weather! :)

Just as soon as it gets dry Beth and I have some more planting to do. We have to get our beans, melons and some more corn planted. Who knows, there may be some surprises out there.

Well, so much for Gran's Garden... enjoy your day!

Home Again

We had such a nice NC trip again this past week end. The weather and scenery was just beautiful. Paul, Candy and the boys are always glad to see us and their hospitality can't be beat!

Wayne, Wilma & the girls went with us. They trip was easy going, of course, there wasn't a lot of room in the back seat. I still haven't learned to travel without taking everything but the kitchen sink. :) But, I'm learning. I will get to try again real soon when I go to Kansas.

Here are a few recent pictures that I've uploaded off my camera. (I love digital cameras, they are so neat- instant pictures!)


These are pictures of some of my grandchildren and our pastors daughter.

As you can see they had lots of fun playing basketball and just unwinding!

"Create in me a pure heart, O God, and renew a steadfast spirit within me."

National Day of Prayer

"If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land."
II Chronicles 7:14 KJV


God Bless America

"While the storm clouds gather far across the sea,
Let us swear allegiance to a land that's free,
Let us all be grateful for a land so fair,
As we raise our voices in a solemn prayer. "

God Bless America,
Land that I love.
Stand beside her, and guide her
Thru the night with a light from above.
From the mountains, to the prairies,
To the oceans, white with foam
God bless America, My home sweet home.
-Words and music by Irving Berlin
