Loving Touch

"Uncle Jason, what big hands you have!!'   "Better to love you with, dear child."

True Love

True love is feeding PRUNES to a little one.  Isaac loves prunes and his Peepaw loves him so that is the perfect combination for sharing prunes.

TENNIS PEEPAW???????

Isaac loved Danny's tennis racket and was able to move it in all sorts of directions without dropping it.  So maybe when we return in 3 years they can go out and PLAY BALL!!  For now, he is enjoying being pulled by us in his Radio Flyer Wagon and we are enjoying doing that.  We are at the beach this week and then on to Lakeland for services at our church, Kathleen Baptist, Sunday, August 17, and then work in the storage unit to decide what we are keeping and taking to our shed in Augusta, GA.    Then we are on our way back to see "Sweet Isaac" for a few days before we go to Atlanta for our appointment service Sept. 10 at First Baptist Church, Jonesboro, GA.

Manatees and MAC

THIS IS A TEST....HA!!!

We are at Cocoa Beach, FL, spending a few days at the beach with Jason.  He drove us to a lock where the water is released or contained and manatees wait impatiently for a boat to come through so that they can either return to the ocean or back to the warmer water of the Banana River.  It was a joy to see these huge sea animals, "sea cows" come to the surface for big breaths of air.

I am practicing learning how to blog.  I have a new Apple computer and Jason is trying to give me lessons.  Danny said he did not want to learn Apple since all our work is Microsoft BUT I think he is enjoying learning some things about Apple also.  And of course he is so savvy with electronics he doesn't need a lot of help.  I hope I can get to the point where I can do the blogging.   

Isaac is ONE!

Isaac celebrated his first birthday, July 25. Where has this year gone? We all enjoyed his party because he had so much fun. He was so happy and never fussed for over 4 hours. We gave him this little Radio Flyer car...we thought they only made wagons...but they also make this cute car. So he enjoys being pushed by us or letting the handle down and walking behind it himself and pushing. So we have already put many miles on it of pushing..ha. He squeals with delight in it and of course that delights us. It is really a fun car with horn and radio and signal light buttons and gas tank and his squeal. You just can't have a better car than that when your grandparents are all so happy to push you around like a king and gas costs you nothing.

My sister, Dorothy Died

My sister (Claudia's sister), Dorothy Alliston, died Wednesday, July 16th. She was 80 years old and 16 years older than I. She had spent the last 10 years in a nursing home in Columbia, MS. Her journey was a painful, emotional one and we are happy that she is out of that pain and with the One, Jesus, Who loved her more than she really understood. She had sparkling brown eyes and an infectious laugh and had a lot of witty sayings... such as, "I don't know if I am washing or hanging out to dry;" or "I don't know if I'm shuckin or shellin'." Truly, may she rest in the peace of our Lord.

Moving Mom

After 7 years in Christian City, Union City, Georgia, mother has made a change to Azalea Estates. Mother will soon be 85 and with poor eyesight, it seemed time for assisted living. Claudia and I have spent the past 10 days helping her relocate. It has been a huge challenge for her but she is doing well. We still need at least two more days to complete the project and then it is back to Richmond.
