HOME!

Home again....We were blessed to be able to go to Tennessee and see Joshua in his first Pro Play( he actually gets paid $35.00 a play). It is called "Twilight of the Gods". One of his "cast-mates" is actually an actress; in fact she is in the latest movie with Gweneth Paltrow and Tim McGraw. I believe she is one of the main characters in the movie. Very nice young lady. The rest of the cast was equally as interesting. And all were very nice. We were able to go up on Friday just in time for opening night. Then we spent the rest of the weekend with Joshua; and meeting his friends. He did have a play on Saturday night; and Dale and I went out on the town. Boy let me tell you we are a couple of real "party goers". We drove up and down the streets and could not find a space to legally park; but did enjoy watching the sights. We did think about going on a "Ghost Tour"; but it just seemed like to much of a hassle. Like I said we're real "party goers" ; after our exciting night out we went home. Thank God for a "Garmin" or there is no telling where we would have ended up at. On Sunday we did some sight seeing with Joshua; (much better) and had allot of fun. This was followed by going to his church with him at a bar; yes that is right it was at a local bar. They allow them to use it on Sundays. It is at a place called "The Cannery", which is on Cannery Row. It was really "real". And different from any other church building we have been to. But at the same time the people were genuine and the service was awesome. Afterwards we went out to eat with Joshua and a group of his friends. They were really neat to hang out with. Of course later I did the "mom inquiry"; "so Son are you interested in any of the girls"; to which he replied "No Mom" we're just friends. Of course I was thinking along the lines of the actress that he is in the play with. But Joshua will only date if he really likes someone; won't do it just to say "guess who I went out with" ? What a guy. I have to say I am proud of him. On the way home we met up with another friend of his for lunch; and he makes the "bestest ever" fudge in the world. Oh my gosh. It is so very good. Joshua does have some pretty neat friends; and they all care about each other.
Well being back here is very quieting and peaceful. I look around me and thank God for my blessings. This weekend we are to be getting 3 horses. We are all very excited about this. Especially my Mother In-Law and I. 2 of the horses we can ride and the one is still to young. So when the "kids" come to visit we will have "horses" to ride. It was so cool tonite; I was outside and could hear a "thunderstorm" but yet we were not getting any of it; in fact it was sunny outside. I have never experienced that in town. In fact our "weather" alert had gone off. The storm was about 50miles away. Another amazing wonder. Tonite I received a really special phone call from one of my younger "kids"; his words just melted my heart and I felt so blessed that God has allowed me to not only be able to have been involved in his young life ; but also to be able to hear how he loves me. For me this is what "life is about" ! I always said my life revolves around kids and always will. Thank you God.
