So...a cute little pixie we all know and love thought it was time I blogged. If you only knew !!! I have nothing to say! I know !!! How totally odd,hee,heee! So let's see.Early this morning I got up to the neatest storm. High winds blowing the bright yellow,red and orange leaves off the trees and swirling them in mid air. The flashes of lightning lite everything for a moment and it was a odd and beautiful sight. It's calmed down now and I'm sitting here so sick. Everything goes right to my lungs,so high temp.,trouble inhaling...poooo. I've had pneumonia so many times and came close to dieing from it three years ago,touch and go for two weeks in the hospital,in and out of consciousness. So trying to take it easy but did too much yesterday. Me sick!!!

The one event that was so neat was last weekend. My dearest DIL,a truely wonderful spirit,invited me to go to her first preaching job at her old church,the one she attended as a child. The place means a lot to her. It is a beautiful building,before the turn of the century,just what you'd expect in an old church. The massive organ that fills the front of the church,the leaded windows with rich interesting scenes on them allowing the coloured sunlight to flow over the massive wooden pews,all very inviting. I'm not what you would call a church person but this church I do have a tie to. My son and daughter in law were married there. I have a strong connection to the formal hyms of the church as they draw me to my Grandmother who loved her church. So this church is not in my hometown but in a former home town so the only vechicle running is the huge and some what ornery one ton van. The thing is huge...likes it when it's driven by my Hubby but I really think the thing dislikes me...probably over heard me bad mouth it. That could be it as Hubby talks lovingly to the over powered gas sucking thing. It has massive one ton air shocks that Hubby loves..and super trailer hitch brakes and all them there extra do daps. The thing rides like a attraction ride if the shocks are high,even poor dog can't take it. I discovered why when we went to the town over to see a movie and I sat in back!!! Good god Ye all! Hang on for dear life! Rides perfect if there's a ton of equipment in it...but this day it's empty. Good! Off I go by myself cause I want to be there. After 40 minutes I scurry up and find my place and it was lovely. My DIL speaks from the heart and truely believes in the path she is on. She feels the call to be a minister so I support her. After the service the buzz is the people shaking hands and talking and slowly leaving the church for the rest of their Sunday to start. I spotted my Dil during the service becoming emotional so I gave her that look! She knows it from me...haaa,haaa, the "You don't say?????? Look! I could tell she read it like that. But know I see her moving among the people in total comfort enjoying the contact. The talk is about themselves,the families,the events, the surmon. She moves towards me and is caught up again! Over all she is so relaxed and is grace itself. Then,when she finally got to me I was so pleased to see her and ...of course..get my hug! I invited them to come to the house before they headed back to their home but they had forgetten a trip they had to make so they would come down to our place next visit in. So off I trotted to haul myself up into the van. Big van was nice to me...after all I'd just been to church!

So the surprise was later in the evening when DIL and son dropped in when I knew they didn't have the time. She gave me a bundle of flowers??? I couldn't believe my eyes when I unwrapped the most beautiful roses in all the hues of pink! Dark ones,intensly pink ones,soft gentle pinks and one almost blue and one almost purple. Just an amazing group of flowers. I was so taken a back cause the note said thank you so much for all your support. Support is something I would never think to be thanked for. It rather surprised me because it just something you do...cause you love and care for that person. Because their success and happiness is important and because you want to do it and be there. Every time I go by my roses I smile. Every time I think of my roses I smile. They are starting to drop petals now . It will be hard to let them go. But the words I'll carry close to my heart forever. She said to me when I thanked her for the surprise and too generous gift...."My heart just leaped for joy when I saw you there. " Now those are words that will be in my heart forever. Don't I have the world's best daughter in law???
