James and I took off on Friday from St. Louis, Mo and headed to Pryor Creek America!!!! OKLA--HOMA!!! (Ya gotta sing it) We again had a list of people to see and things to do we are happy to say that the Lord God Almighty has allowed us to do just that. We haven't been home to Oklahoma for 2 1/5 years. When Jackie died (my sister) was when we moved to Ohio so it has been a whirlwind as this blog can attest to. Anyway, we got to put some flowers on my brothers grave. (Jeff Watts) We also got to visit with James family and meet the newest member.(Jacob) We had the wonderful opportunity to surprise a wonderful 12 year old girl. Miss Shirley McCrary. I have to tell you about Shirley. When James and I moved Shirley was very upset. She has called me every couple of weeks for the last 2 years, wanting me to come "home". Well we didn't tell her that we were coming in for the weekend. We showed up at church Sunday morning and she heard me talking in the hallway and she came running from the fellowship hall.... She was a little bit excited......When I left she was almost 10 and short compared to me. Now! She is a beautiful young lady and with her "hills" on she is almost as tall as I am. It was so very nice to see everyone again. Then after church we took her and her parents to lunch at Braums.... a wonderful ice cream shop and had a great visit. After a very sad good-bye we headed back to work in St. Louis, Mo. On the way we stopped in St. James, Mo where my brother died in a car accident 7 years ago. We got to put a white bow on the tree that represents the place of the accident. This was a wonderful weekend but a bitter sweet for me. Please keep us in your prayers. I truly appreciate all the prayers that are said on our behalf, for the family for the traveling, for the job.... truely, we THANK YOU VERY MUCH!!!! Enjoy the pics...
