Friday's Fave Five


Hosted by Susanne  
This has been a  great week  with many things for which to be thankful.


We had our first Annual Business meeting at our new church followed by a wonderful pot lunch after Sunday's service...We are a small church, but we really know how to   set a fine table.. and the food was  amazing.  But nothing  was  any better than  the sweet fellowship we enjoyed.. I am loving  our new church so much!

Then  later in the week I got a call that our daughter and her family were coming to spend a few days  for everyone to get to see  the other grandmother  before she starts her chemo on Monday..We are praying God's best for Jan  and  we are thrilled that preliminary scans showed no metastasizing. May that e'er be!  Here they are as they started out on taht 12 hour drive.


I enjoyed fixing their breakfast yesterday  while Jan  had  a doctor's appointment... 



The the girls had fun sitting out on the porch coloring  while we visited  and  tried to catch up    before we had to  send them on their way



Surprise of surprises  we did have time to  dine out at First Watch for  lunch  before  they left to go  see  Jan again!  Tonight I am having everyone  back here for supper.

    2. I think it’s hard to find a church family.
      It’s wonderful that you found one that is a good fit.
      Spending time with the family is comforting, fun, And unifying.
      So glad you guys got to spend so much time together before your mother-in-law starts her treatments.
      Have a great week.

  3. What a lovely family. Glad you got to spend time with them although not for the best reason. Hope the MILs treatment goes well. A 12 hour journey with two little ones must have been a challenge.

Farewell

 After  17 years of   blogging  I am  pretty sad to  just fade  out  with  hardly  anyone showing any   farewell,  concern  about my  surger...
