I AM THANKFUL FOR...

...a darling little girl in WalMart who smiled and waved at me before being rushed off by her dad. She ran a little ways and then stopped, turned around, and looked at me shyly.  When I waved again, she got the cutest little smile on her face and closed her eyes tight! 

She will never know how I REALLY needed that today!!!
Why did she choose me?
I say she is a gift from my Father.

Remember: "In the quiet heart is hidden, sorrow that the eye can't see."
And sometimes most of the time all it takes is a smile and a wave to make someone's day!!

TWO HOURS IN A DRESSING ROOM WITH GMA AND LYNETTE= PAR-TAY!!

For Grandma's birthday, grandpa generously offered lots of $$$ for Lynette and I to spend on clothes for her!! (He said he was safe since she would probably return everything so it would end up costing him nothing--ha ha)  We started at Macey's, but only found a couple of things. Lynette became the designated carrier of all the clothes we found! I think carrying all those clothes exhausted her
(I did offer a picture retake but she declined)!


Then we went to CJ Banks and all three of us ended up spending at least TWO HOURS in an oversized dressing room!!! Needless to say, we laughed and laughed and laughed!!! The conclusion is that
Gma is a "big girl,"
Lynette is "Ginormous,"
which means I am "morbidly obese"  and should shop in the "OTHER" store! 

We all know how Gma likes her clothes BIG, right?!!! Well this is the first pair of pants she picked out, tried on, and thought the size was perfect!!!! What do YOU think?!

 Lynette decided to measure her skinny little thighs and they are 19 inches!!!
I won't tell you what Lynette's measured! Hahaha!!
YES....I refused to measure!! Duh!


Gma found a khaki skirt (sorry, no picture) which she tried on and loved, but Lynette and I liked a different one better so she took it off...
WITHOUT UNBUTTONING or
UNZIPPING or
EVEN WIGGLING!!!
Hmmm...do you think that MIGHT indicate the size is too big??!!! HAHAHA!

The skirt she is holding is the one Lynette and I wanted her to get, but she wasn't quite sure about it so..... she checked the fiber content!!! Oh how we love you MOM!!! :)


This is the cute lady that helped us (Kim)! She ran back and forth bringing new sizes
("another size 12"--wink wink--to see if it fit better),
and other cute clothes for her to try on!
I really loved her because she wanted to know who was older--me or Lynette!!! :)
I just patted Lynette's shoulder and explained to Kim that Lynette has SIX kids and that is why she looks so OLD and has more gray hair!!! hahaha!!!
She was WONDERFUL and said she would pull some things from the new shipment for Gma to try on Friday, when we go back!!!
NO, Gpa, WE ARE NOT DONE!!!


 
 This is a cute little lady who was jealous of our PARTY in the dressing room!
She hung around the store waiting for us to come out so she could see who was having SOOO much fun and was laughing SOOO much!!! :)

It was a GREAT day, with GREAT company, and tighter abs from so much LAUGHING!!!

I will post more pictures later, but I want you to be surprised when she models on Sunday at her Party!!!

"Another Testament of Christ". (Mark Mabry)

THIS IS MY NEW FAVORITE BOOK (and CD that comes with it)!!!
I love the faces, the tears, the smiles, the JOY and all other emotions that are portrayed!
Can you imagine what it will be like when He comes again? 
Will we be ready? Will there be relief? Panic? Will we sing? Fall on our knees or hide?
If you don't have this book and CD yet, put it on your B-day or Christmas list!
You will LOVE it, and it will bring tears to your eyes.
(And no...I was not paid to endorse this product--ha ha!)
