The men sure are going to work .. look how high the roof is going to be. There is no way you’d get me up there.
Doesn’t seem to bother Randall .. or does it?
I think I'm back into the mode of just living one day at a time. I am thankful that God has blessed me by allowing me to be here. This area of people are so wonderful and they have welcomed us with open arms. They are making us feel welcome to their family.
My dogs are enjoying it here with a nice big yard to roam in. Of course in this picture Lucy and Lexi are enjoying my chair. Daddy is next to them feeding them people food… Yumm
Dixie is enjoying the couch .. good thing i spend lots of time at my computer at the table.
Duke and Dolly are enjoying their bed on the floor. Duke is on top and that is part of Dolly’s behind you see.
We haven’t really done much the past few days to blog about.
When i went to check the progress of how the construction was going. I seen that another wall was put up and it appears that the roof is being started on.
A Window was removed as well.
I had a really ruff night with my back and so I slept in the morning. In fact it was almost 10 am before i got out of bed. It’s still raining and looks to be a dreary day. The temps are in the 60’s. My back is still hurting.
I didn’t make it over to break at 10 am but i did get over there eventually. Lonna had made a cake from her friendship bread and it was so good. Since it’s raining outside no work could be done on the church. So the guys and gals spent the morning just having coffee and cake.
The afternoon was spent inside just relaxing and taking it easy and updating my blog from the weekend.
Tonight several of the men from the church brought T-bone steaks and cooked them on the grill for us. We had salad, baked potatoes and corn on the cob and it was so good. We also had cake for desert which was good as well.
We are being feed so good here, i don’t see me losing any weight as i had hoped, but i am trying to limit my portions.
After we ate we sat and visited and it’s always nice to visit with new friends. Then it was back home and to bed for me. The rain seems to have stopped for now. It’s foggy but the temps are not bad. I’m heading to the shower and then to bed to watch Christmas shows on hallmark.
We got up and got ready for church. Church services was amazing. Pastor Bruce is a rocking minister. We sang several great songs. For me personally the song service is was gets me going for the sermon and this church sure is blessed with wonderful musical and song leader. They sing a combination of old hymn's yet they add the newer songs into their services.
After service we had a pot luck and these southern sure do know how to cook. The food was amazing and the fellowship was good.
We got home around 3 pm and we spent the afternoon watching some football and i played online. The rain finally arrived and though my body doesn’t do well .. it’s needed here as they’ve had a very dry summer.
Before we knew it was time for the evening service and we knew that there was to be a baptism. What we didn’t know was it was for 6! Isn’t that wonderful? This church is growing and God sure is working within. It was an amazing emotional service and we are so blessed to be apart of it.
We are really enjoying our stay here. Time is going by so fast. It’s hard to believe that we’ve been here 2 weeks already.
Saturday morning i slept in as my back has not been letting me get much sleep. I finally got around and went over to visit with the other ladies and to meet the new RVer’s. Randall and Janice are the newest to arrive and as we were all sitting around having coffee we got a surprise. Virgil and Donna fellow Rver friends of ours showed up to visit. They are in Waynesboro, Ms. We had a great time visiting and finally it was time for lunch. We went home and got ready as we need to do some grocery shopping.
I love southern food but i was craving something different .. I’m sure you all know what that was … Yep .. Chinese. I got online and search what the local places to eat were around in the area. We found a small all you can eat buffet in Lucedale. It was okay for the small area we are in. They didn’t have the big variety that we are spoiled with but the food was very good. We’ll be going back again i’m sure.
After getting our tummy’s full we headed to Save A Lot as that is the discount shopping store here. No Aldie’s but i like Save A Lot. Then it was to the Dollar Tree .. Yep they have one right across the street from Wal-mart. Yes, then it was Wal-mart and on our way home we stopped at Piggly Wiggly as they have meat on sale. I love that i can get online and view their sale ad’s. They have pretty good meat there.
After our shopping it was getting late and so we got home just in time to put our groceries away and then head over to the bon fire that the Rver’s are having tonight. We had a great time sitting around the fire and chatting and getting to know each other more. Randall and Janice are extremely nice people. Spending a few months with them is gonna be great!
I spent the morning not doing much of anything as my back is giving me fits again.
My hanging flower sure is looking so good with lots of blooms. I’m still finding lady bugs .. ugh these are horrible pest.
After lunch i went over and took some pictures of the progress of the building.
Some of the inside roof had to be torn out for preparations of the new roof that will tie the buildings together. More walls have been placed up and it won’t be long before they will begin starting the framing for the new roof.
Later in the afternoon another Rver pulled in and then that night we went to dinner at new friends Sonny and Sylvia place in Alabama. We had a wonderful meal of stew made with Catalina dressing .. It was so good, we also had slaw, Mexican corn bread and for dessert. Fellowship afterward our meal was wonderful and finally a little past 8 pm we decided we better head home.
Once we got home it was time for me to retire to my bed as my back is still bothering me. I watched the hallmark channel in bed.
