Finally a new entry March 2007

It has been forever overdue for a new post on here. Sometimes it is hard to believe how quickly the month go by.

I am really looking forward to the spring. Today is so nice and it reminds me of how much happier i feel when it is bright and sun shiny outside. Hope everyone is doing well.

    Aww, that is so sweet! Tell Nat I said thanks! My interview last week was at Greenwood. And yeah, Warren East has a position open, too. I've let them know I'm interested through KY Reap's website and I've mailed the principal a resume & cover letter. So, it would be awesome to get an interview with them, too. Thanks for the tip on Portland, I'll check into it. Keep your fingers crossed for me!

    I have always enjoyed attending at Brentwood. David had a great sermon on "Honor thy father and thy mother" on Sunday night.

    I was thinking I hadn't seen Natalie for a while. I kept meaning to have her over; I'm terrible! Anyway, I hope she finds what she's looking for back in BG, I'm sure she will! All is well here, just busy raising kiddos! Mom and Dad are well, they attend at West End these days (when they're not at Brentwood). Hope your family is well, I got to see your precious grandson at church the other day, I know you're so proud! Take care & God bless!

halloween and other good things

i quess one of my favorite seasons is coming to an end, the leaves are coming down very quickly and it is getting much colder. Still much to look forward to in the end of this year.Thanksgiving and Christmas are such fun time for families and all of us to spend a little extra time together

Last night was so much fun with all the many cute children dressed up and in our neigborhood we got to see lots of friends children and many others. We all had a good time. It looked like Halloween tjat i remembered from being a young child with all the people walking around and the children running and having so much fun, I hope everyone enjoyed this as much as don and i did.

Speaking of Don we are very fortunate that his company has decided to allowed him to work out of BG for now. We realize that at some point this could change but for now our prayers and the prayers of others have been answered in a positive way and we consider ourselves very fortunate. He will still have to travel a lot but will be home much more. He has to leave Sunday for Italy and will be home Thursday so it will be probably be a hard trip but still something we will enjoy.

The beginning of Fall

It is so exciting to see and feal the seasons change.

I love fall and all the great things that go along with it.

The weather has been wonderful and we have so many things to be

thankful for no matter what season it is but God has really

blessed us with beautiful things on this earth.

I hope you all have many good days and please pray for unity

and love for everyone.
  • aleta
    Hi, Myra. Even down here in south Texas we are feeling the fall. I do miss the beautiful colors of Kentucky, though! Enjoy the colors for a long, displaced friend! :)

August entry

It has been several weeks since i have put anything new on. It has been a busy month due to school starting and all the new stuff that brings on.

It is fun to see all the students returning also to Western, they always bring back good memories of how fun that part of life was for so many of us.

I am a high school teacher and have lived in BG for quite a while, if any college students need help with something as you come to a new place please let us know. Especially if you are an education major and need some help with school stuff or anything else that i could help you with.

I remember coming to BG many years ago and being befriended by many people of various ages and places and was so impressed by that in my life. Probably one of the reasons we are still in BG.

  • derbydi
    Thank you! It means so much to know there are friends looking out for our kids when they're away from us!
    G1 lives in PF Tower on campus.
    by derbydi at 08/23/06 2:42PM
  • aleta
    I've sort of envied those who stayed in BG because of the very reasons you stayed! Thanks for your comments. Pineland is in east Texas, in the piney woods between nowhere and over there. But the congregation runs at about 60-70. We have been having a great week!

  • nikkicw
    Hope you have a good day! Are you coming to the game tonight?
    by nikkicw at 08/24/06 9:01AM
  • mamadew
    does not sound like the game was too good, you guys just need a break, it is still good that you all have fun playing together and everyone gets along

    We stayed at River North Hotel (a Best Western). It was nice. It was very convenient to everything. I love Chicago! I am glad you are going!!

  • daytoday
    Hey, Myra. Saw your question about churches on Sarah's blog. Bill and Mary Ann Grant have two daughters living in the Chicago area, one married and one single. I'm sure they would be a great resource for Natalie. If you're interested, I can give Lori contact info. Let me know.
    by daytoday at 09/11/06 12:39PM
  • SaraJones
    Hey Myra. I am going to move with Natalie. I love it!! If the Lord provided us an opportunity there, I would jump on it in a minute!! I am glad you had a nice time. I am sorry that I am not familiar with the church families in the area. I have a dear friend who studied there and worshipped in the area. I could get information for you. I will contact my friend this week!!

    Garrett really seems to like WKU. We have gotten him home on several weekends, so that's great for Mom!
    He seems to be attending Eastside so far, but does plan to visit different places.
    Thank you for asking about him. :-)

last day of July

It seems like summer is almost over and many of us will head back to a semi-normal routine in the coming weeks of
August, what ever happened to summer lasting until Labor day.

there have been very good days this summer and some hard days, the hard days make you appreciate the good days. I am very thankful for my family and many friends that help everyone get through hard times and are happy for us when the good times come.

  • SaraJones
    Myra--you are on my heart tonight. I know that you are hurting... I am lifting up your elbows!! Love to you.

    Dallas was HOT...whew, don't know how you live in it. I got to spend an extra night actually in Irving, TX because the airline canceled my flight Friday night. Big airport, though. Nice people too.

    Myra - I know just how you feel. I'm very blue right now, but I know I really need to count my blessings, as the old song says. Saw Eli today - that was a blessing right there!

    Yes. They will be home tonight. I am very ready to see them. But I have enjoyed low-key days. I am making a dust ruffle for the girl's bed today. Have a great one!! I am still planning on using your decorative sense, I just need to get the foundation down to make room for the pretties!!
