Sunday

Church and lunch at famous Brent's. Was not famous when I first went there . Our first apartment was in Fondren and we went to Brents' and the Jitney Jungle for groceries. Rode the bus as far as we could and walked the rest of the way. We were young then. Sunday, Amy and I had lunch with Sophie and Paul there. It was fun and very good too. Hope to close the house on Wednesday or Thursday--whatever--I will be glad to celebrate. On to exercise class and a full day. This is good.

13th NOT SO LUCKY

Another delay in closing on the house. Paper work is about to drive me crazy. It will happen--or so I am told-but I must wait. Maybe Tuesday-Wednesday-or Thursday. Take your pick, I will still be here. And when I get the check-it will be done. Beautiful day here. I had French toast in the Cyber this morning. How about that for a treat?I plan to have fried oysters for dinner with two fun ladies tonight. Hope the fried does not bother me too much. It will be worth is. I love oysters any way. Amy had my yard man to dig my sweetheart rose bush up and it now sits in a big pot on the patio around the swimming pool where I can see it. I hope it lives as it is about 35 years old and was rooted from one my Mother had in her yard many years ago. No more news--enough said.

RIVERWOOD

I am getting nervous. Will Fryday the 13th be lucky or will the sale go through? Any thing could go wrong at the last minute and it is not over till that check is presented--and cashed. I went by the house yesterday. I walked around the yard and cut some roses and cried. I could see Truman everywhere and also all of my family enjoying that back yard and Lake. I always say that thoughts create emotions--they did. I should not have gone alone. I know in my heart that this is right and the only thing to do--but it hurts--a lot. "God is my refuge and strenth, a very present help in trouble"Psalms 46-1. I go there a lot. Pray for me tomorrow.

TUESDAY

Just got back from hearing THE OLDE TOWNE MIDDLE SCHOOL BANDt from Ridgeland. 60 plus kids from the 7th grade. Look out high school. They were great. Five drummers Bryan. two were girls!! They came with two buses and a simi trailer to carry instruments. That must be a big school. I enjoyed watching them.

EASTER

It was a beautiful day, Some sadness --some joy--but always good to share it all with family. We missed everyone who could not be together but understand that times do change and maybe we will get to be with most of you at Beach Week. It will be here before we know, the way time seems to fly.

SATURDAY ALREADY

We sang well at the Good Friday service. Now on to Easter Sunrise service here at 7:30. I know the sun has been up for a while by this time but we are a littlr slow to "rise" here. Then to Broadmeadow for Easter service, then to Jan and Tommy's house for lunch. Thanks to all these wonderful cooks it will be great. I am bringing the ham. Not much but thay are so good to me. All this to praise the Lord for Jeasus' suffering on the cross for our sins and he did rise from the dead so we can too. Thanks be to the Lord. Happy Easter and hope the Easter bunny is good to all of you. I sure miss making those Easter baskets. Miss my man too.

A LITTLE LAX

Please forgive me. I have been lazy I guess. So much rain and storms but today, Good Friday is beautiful. MY choir sings this morning for the Good Friday service and then again at the Sunrise Service Sunday (7:30). Not sunrise but close. We have been working hard on the music and I think it will be good. I know I have gotten so much good from it. It is a very good nice group of people and together we sing well. To each his own I am sure we would only make a joyful noise. But even a joyful noise is what we want.
