July Happenings

I know it's been a long time since I blogged but here I am again! We left to go to Dacia's in-laws for over the Fourth of July and haven't been home since! NOT what we were expecting! We got a call while we were there that David's Aunt Doris was not expected to live so we came on down here the 5th not even stopping to go home. We got to B-ville early in the morning and went straight to the hospital. Aunt Doris was asleep when we got there. Debbie and Paul were there. They had came up a little earlier with Carl and Mary and then took them to Aunt Doris' house and came back to stay at the hospital. She woke up when her antibiotics ran out and started beeping. She started talking and seemed to be doing pretty well. We finally went to her house and went to bed around 4 AM I think. The next morning we went back and she was talking but getting tired. By that evening she was too tired for company and they had given her morphine.

David and I went on over to Mom and Dad's to stay all night. My Uncle Jr., Aunt Grace and cousin Jimmy from Washington were coming the next day. I hadn't seen Jimmy for probably 35 years or around there. They came then Tues. morning and stayed for lunch. Before we sat down to eat David got a call about Aunt Doris and he hurried up and ate and went back down to B-ville.

We went back the next day to B-ville and on Thurs. morning the doctor said it would just be hours. She passed away then Fri. morning around 9:00 or 9:30. David is one of the executers of the estate so he and some other family members made the funeral arrangements. She had prepaid for her funeral but hadn't left any instructions about who she wanted to preach her funeral etc. We had the funeral then Wed. and David and his dad have been trying to contact the different renters. One lawyer they needed to see was on vacation and wasn't able to meet them until today. Hopefully they will get the answers they need after meeting him. We might get to go home sometime THIS week! David's dad is planning on leaving tomorrow.

Then before long it's Independence Camp time and Lord willing we're going to be back up this way again. There is a Rogers reunion the last Sat. of Independence Camp so David wants to go to that. Haven't been to one in years!

Then...school. I still haven't heard about my job yet. I emailed the Superintendent Sat. and they hired the one lady back at Jonesburg but they hadn't hired a part time person for Bellflower which is where I worked. I told him part time is what I wanted and I would like to be considered for the job but I know there were two of us there that had worked part time so... We'll see what the Lord wants. We've prayed about it and it's in his hands.
