Happy Heavenly Birthday Gator

Happy heavenly birthday!  I hope you are enjoying your celebration  today esp with your dad and my mom n dad now.   Please take care of mom, and tell her I am doing as ok as I can. Also, enjoy your angel food cake and your tacos as this was your traditional dinner and fav cake.  Oh how I miss making homemade tacos for you today.   It has been so hot its unreal, were under heat advisory  had July and Aug temps in June and still getting hotter.   I love you to the moon and back always have and always will.   RIP my love till we meet again.     This is that last decent pic,  Gator was a bit of a humorist, so him sticking his tongue out at me was just his humor.

Mom is at peace now

 Hello there,    The lord called momma home at 1204am on 71721 she ran to our Father's arms to meet my dad and many relatives/friends.   The smile on her face when she left us was priceless. After being at the hospital all day on Friday, I was leaving to come home at 1 am to make a 3 hr trip, one of my friends  and family insisted I come by and try to sleep a little after just loosing mom and then trying to drive.  I am very appreciative even now.     My Mother in law has been with me this week so that if mom passed in the night I would not be here alone any time is hard loosing a loved one its just been too soon since Gator to be alone. I get home yesterday am 10ish to find my mil had fallen during the night and broke her hip, sitting here all alone the pain and fear I can't even imagine.  Called 911 then spent the rest of day in Joplin at the hospital   please pray for her and her kids. As, this next journey in her life at 79 is going to be tough. If I am away for a little bi

Mom update prayers please

 hello there my bloggie friends.   I am so thankful for each and every one of you. I am sorry there has been a whole lot of life thrown at me over the last last couple of months Mom is now very critical, her kidneys have started the shut down phase,  I was able to go and spend all day with her on Monday, the swelling from water retention is horrible, she is needing dialysis however due to her health she isn't a candidate as it would do more harm than good  and she is now only on soft foods, (jello, pudding, applesauce etc)   please pray for comfort for her. Also, today would have been Gator and mine 3rd anniversary, I am just a basket of emotions right now.  I have had to say several times today...>Lord keep your hand on my shoulder and the other hand over my mouth.     Then to top it off I made a post on MY facebook page asking my friends to pray for comfort for my mom since her kidneys are starting to fail (see above) my brother tells me to take my post on momma down as everyb

this old bridge was built in 1926 and carried U.S. Highway 66 traffic from 1926 to 1932.  When the new alignment of Route 66 bypassed the bridge The bridge is 123 feet in length with a total width of 19 feet.  It is the only remaining unaltered example of the Modified Pratt Through Truss design in the state of Oklahoma. This bridge in Chelsea Oklahoma was added to the National Historic Places September 6 2006 Do you enjoy finding hidden treasures?  When you travel old roads does it take you back in time or do you say "it is just a road"   Tomorrows photo is the first oil well in OK 1989 Work willingly at whatever you do, as though you were working for the Lord rather than for people.
