Visitors and MS Walk

This was Rusty on April 18th! Yes, he's covered with *snow*... uggg  And my granddaughter Ashley and her husband Ben from Georgia, were flying in the next day!!! Ashley was hoping they'd get to see some of it, but by the time they got here, 99% of it had melted. ha! 

 

 The kids had come up for our MS Walk. Ashley always designs the t-shirts every year. I hope you can read the verse she wrote on it. Very beautiful and moving. ("feathers, cardinals and butterflies too, these are all signs your angels are walking with you." She did all the drawing and writing herself. The fonts are all her designs.

  

Saturday, April 21st was our walk. It was soooo cold. Everyone, well almost everyone had jackets, gloves, scarves, and ear muffs on. Poor Ben, who was born and raised in the south, certainly was not expecting these kind of temperatures!!! We were greeted with these signs.. My team was one of the top five teams last year (as well as this year!)

  

We were able to get a picture of our team. (One lady, her boyfriend and her Mom had already left before we had everyone gathered together. :( ) You probably can't really see it, but as I said it was so cold, and my neurologist was there and she covered my legs with a throw...which I kept on, all day! ha! What a blessing!!!

 



That night, we saw we were on the news! We didn't even know they were filming us! ha! Ashley was taking those first pictures of the sidewalk...leading to the shelter. She said the lady behind us was in a hurry, probably since it was so cold and there Ashley was stopping to take a photo...!

 

Here is Ben one morning..fixing biscuits and sausage gravy, plus Ashley made scrambled eggs. Yumm I could keep them around. Ha!!

 

Rusty loved Ben...see his little foot propped up against Ben's leg while he was sleeping!!

 

One day we went up to War Eagles Monument, they were looking over the interstate, river and city.

 

Ashley took this selfie of them when they were up there. (Great photo!!) 

We also went somewhere else, as I wanted them to see the Canadian Geese. They are so pretty!! Ben loves nature..

Here we are the day they were getting ready to fly home. That was a thankful and sad day. It was amazing having them here. We did some other things too, Ashley got to join my Bible Study on Friday, we went to church Sunday, out to eat afterwards and to visit her aunt and uncle. Ben worked on my shower and deck.. They are such beautiful children, inside and out!!

And then it was over.... there they go... heading into the terminal and me heading home.

 

Now you see some of my busy time last month. It was just wonderful though.

 

Today was nice, it was 82 degrees! My son and DIL were here. He took me to do some of my running. (He's such a good boy!) I have my air-conditioner going with these high temps. And I finally got the pilot light for the fireplace shut off last week. I really believe spring is finally here..

 

Bye for now....
