Gran’s Day

 Hey Friends,

I have a couple of pics from our Monday. We spent the day with Gran and Papaw

We could not make our schedules align for Mother’s Day, so we celebrated Gran on Monday. We spent time eating, shopping and laughing. It made for a great day!

 

Bass Pro even had a “Gran size” camping chair. 😊 

Thank you for reading. See you tomorrow.

Mother’s Day 2026 In Pics

 Hey Friends,

Yesterday was a wonderful Sunday. We spent it going to church twice at DRPC. 

Both services were very good. God blessed and helped! Bro. Bennie delivered excellent messages that were encouraging and helpful to us!

Sunday morning, at the end of the service, we honored the mothers. They recognized Sis Sutherland as the Mother of the church. Then they honored the Youngest Mother, Oldest Mother present, the Mother with the most children present, and drew a name for the "Prettiest Mother. Then all the Mothers received a gift. 

After service, Mom and I grabbed a quick bite to eat. When our family finished their service, we stopped by Mamaw and Papaw's house. We spent some time with some family members. 

Then we had time to head home for a quick nap. Quickly, it was time to go back to church.

 A special part of Sunday night was the ordination of two of our DRPC young preachers. We are proud of Bro. Jared Hall and Bro. Luke Hall and Sis. Madison Hall. 

Then it was time to honor the class of 2026. We have 3 high school graduates this year. 

This made for a full but blessed Sunday! Here are some pictures from our day. See you tomorrow.

Foodie Friday 5/8/26

 Hey Friends,

Hello, from the road. Mom and I are still on our way home. We plan to get home later today. 

We traveled partway yesterday. Thankfully, the weather was beautiful, and things went very smoothly for us. It was a great day for traveling. 

By dinner time, we were nearing Nashville. I was excited to eat at one of the 4 In-N-Out Burger locations in the area. 

I love In-N-Out Burger. We first ate there in California. Then we had it in Arizona and Texas. Now they are in other Western states. The move to Tennessee for the restaurant was huge. We were excited to get them “closer” to us. 

I really enjoyed getting to taste 

In-N-Out again. I felt a little closer to my California friend. 😀 I have been missing it for years! It is still on my favorite burger list!

In-N-Out Burger knows how to move the crowd through. It is amazing! This place was packed.

This location has a big overflow parking lot, and that is where we had to park. People were waiting for tables both inside and outside. Plus, the drive-thru line was crazy long. 

We had our food in about 15 minutes. 

Here are a few more cool things about the chain. The burgers are made fresh. The meat is never frozen. Their restaurants are clean and the employees are super friendly. Their soda cups have John 3:16 reference printed on the bottom. 

 A symbol in front of their restaurants is two trees crossed. 

Here are a few pics from yesterday. 

Thank you for reading.

Cinco de Mayo 2026

 Hey Friends,

I had a different post planned for today. Then I was reminded of today’s date. That changed my mind on the post. 

Today is Cinco de Mayo. I had to share Dad’s classic “mayo” picture.  

He first shared this picture on Cinco de Mayo 2019. I remember going to Walmart to purchase the mayo for this photo. We were in Gainesville, Texas. 

Dad's sense of humor was incredible. He is still making us laugh!  

I hope you have a fantastic Cinco de Mayo and Taco Tuesday. Thanks for reading.

May 2026 Mississippi Sunday

 Hey Friends,

I hope your week is going well. Thank you for stopping by to visit. We had a great weekend. 

Today, I will tell you a little about our Sunday. We enjoyed two fantastic services. The preaching, the presence of God and the fellowship were fabulous both times. 

Sunday morning, we were with Pastor Scott Morris and our church family at Richton First Assembly. 

Sunday evening, we journeyed back to Ellisville. We were in service with Pastor Kenny Morris and Ellisville First Assembly. 

We love our precious Mississippi friends that have chosen to add us to their family! We are honored that the claim and loves us! The circumstances that brought us to visit Mississippi this time are sad! It is still wonderful to be with them!

We had a great Sunday. God blessed us. See you tomorrow. I will share our fun Saturday.
