Celebrating Kelly Jo

 Hey Friends,

Friday was Mom's birthday. She had a great day! Click HERE if you missed her birthday blog. 

Thanks for the calls, texts and comments wishing her a happy birthday. She really appreciates your thoughtfulness. 

I gave her her birthday presents early because the Amazon deliveries arrived. Thanks to the recent Prime Days, we had several deliveries. 🤣

We had dinner last week with Mamaw and Papaw for Mom’s birthday. It was good to spend some time with them!  We met up at Chin Cottage. The company was to notch, and the food was delicious!

Friday afternoon, we had a visit from Renae, Jacqueline and Albany Coffman. I was wrapped up in the great visit with them. I failed to get pics of Jacqueline and Renae. 

Albany came prepared with special glasses for Mom, a game, a gift card and more. She was determined to make Mom’s day extra special. She definitely succeeded! It was so sweet!

Thank you so much lovely ladies for coming to Waynesville to visit us! It is always a joy spending time with you!

We have more celebrating to come. Mom deserves it all!

Thank you for reading

Happy Birthday America

 Hey Friends,

Today is our Country's 250th birthday! I am proud to be an American! I am grateful that God placed me in my great homeland. I have heard it said that it is the "Greatest country on God's Green Earth"!

Happy Birthday, America! 250 years, wow what a milestone. 

On July 4th 1776, we gained our independence from England. Thank you to visionaries who believed, fought, gave their lives and prayed for our country. Because of them we have freedom today. 

I still value and hold dear our precious freedoms. I am thankful for every sacrifice of our founding fathers and leaders! Your amazing patriotism has not been forgotten. 

I have been singing an old Jeff and Sheri Easter song, in my head, for days. It is called My Country. I had pull it up to listen to it. 

Our nation was built on God. He has never left us. We as a country have left Him. I pray God have mercy on us. Please give us a revival in our country again. Lord, let is start right here with me!

Today, and every day we are comanded to pray for our nation and leaders! I want everyone to experience God's life changing touch. That would definitely change America. 

God Bless the USA, My Country!

Welcome Ella Blaire Yeager

 Hey Friends,

Thank you for stopping by to visit with me today! I appreciate our faithful readers. 

We have a precious new family member to introduce you to. Back in April, I told you about a baby shower HERE for my cousin Kayla. We have been anxiously awaiting the little wild flower’s arrival. 

The due date was tomorrow June 3rd. The family was on baby watch for several days. 

Kayla had a long, hard day on Friday afternoon. By afternoon, they made the trip to the hospital. Before long, it was decided that the baby was coming, but we had to wait several more hours. 

Shortly after 6AM on Saturday, Miss Ellison Blaire Yeager arrived. She is beautiful, and we are totally in awe of the precious baby girl. She has a head full of hair. 

Saturday afternoon, I was able to go visit Mama Kayla, Dad Trever and Baby “Ella Blaire.” I was thrilled to meet the bundle of joy. Now, I am looking forward to the next time I get to love on her again. Auntie O is in love. 

Congratulations to the Yeager family of 4. We love you, Kayla, Trever, Kolby and Ella Blaire. We are so thankful for your new blessing! 

Thanks to Kayla for allowing me to introduce Ella Blaire to my friends. Below are some pictures of the new addition! Here is all of her information.
