Today is Friday, and am I ready for it to be here. It has been a super busy week and a busy weekend is already ahead of us. After work today, Richard and I have to clean the office, and then Saturday we will be working on a house (hopefully it will be better to be in than it was a couple of weeks ago).
Missy, your daddy and I, want to say that we are extremely proud of you and everything you have done. Keep up the good work and God will bless you.

This week has been a crazy week. Seems like there has been one thing after another thing happening. We got a call and was informed that my mother had fallen and broken her leg and is in the hospital and will be having surgery Tuesday. I have been so "out of it" because of the seizure medicine I have to take.
Friday afternoon, Richard, Missy, a friend of hers, and myself traveled to Dallas for The Revolve Tour. That is something everygirl needs to go to. At one time I looked over at Missy and she was taking notes regarding the topic the speaker was talking about and was really getting alot out of it. She has really enjoyed it and I am so thankful that she has been able to go to it the past 2 years. The Revolve Tour (branch off of Women of Faith for girls) is nothing that a girl would think it is. It is alot of fun (even for mothers), and the guests are able to reach the girls by music, drama, speaking, and other activites they do. It is a really wonderful, fun and educational program for girls to attend. Missy and her friend are wanting to get a group of girls (not only from our church but all over San Angelo) to go next year. She will be getting more information about it later, one thing we do know is that it is going to be in September and in Dallas. If you or know of anyone interested in going next year let Missy know. (They had a ball coming home, you should have seen what all those two girls were doing and getting her daddy (Richard) to do. There was not a quite second all the way home, but it was fun. They were giving her daddy a hard time and were (them plus Richard) having fun with all they were getting him to do and recording him when he was doing it. (I had to remind him several times that he was driving and needed to remember that). We all had a good time and are looking forward to going next year along with others to go also. Missy will be getting more information about it and will be passing it along.

It's doggie day!!!
Today has been another crazy day. Missy and I went to Park Plaza with Honey and Jewell (our dogs) this morning and the tenants really enjoyed seeing them. There was this one man that really enjoyed Honey. Missy took Honey's cart (Richard made her a little cart that she pulls behind her) off and what did Honey do? Jumped right up in the bed with him and stayed. It was really cute, the little man was so excited that they came to see him. When it was time to go to another room Missy had fun trying to get Honey off the bed. That really did make him happy and made him feel so good.
Before that I was holding Jewell and a lady saw us and fell in love with Jewell. (She was there to see her mother). When she saw Jewell she wanted to take pictures of her and then when she saw Honey pulling the little cart with Jewell laying in it that really did catch some attention.
When they brought her mother out of her room, she fell in love with Jewell. The first thing her daughter did was take a picture of Jewell and her mother. Her mother really enjoyed Honey and Jewell coming to see her (Missy and I are part of the SPCA, Society of Prevention of Cruelity to Animals and take Honey and Jewell to different nursing homes on Saturday). When it was time to leave the daughter walked out the door with me and was talking so fast it was hard to get a word in. Honey and Jewell are really tierd when they get home from the nursing home trip. All they want to do the rest of the day is sleep. The excitement the tenants show when they see the dogs really does make a person feel good. When hurricane Katrina hit New Orleans a little man was sent up to one of the nursing homes. That Saturday we went to two different nursing homes (one was right behind the other-Missy was at one and I was at the other) . Missy walked over to the place where I was and told me that there was a man from hurricane Katrina here and wanted to see Jewell. Missy and I became special friends with him and would take Jewell and Honey to see him, and one night we spoke with the nurses at the nursing home about taking him out to eat. That there was something really special, we all really had fun and a nice night. Right before he went home we dressed Jewell and Honey up and went up to see him (he didn't know we were coming). The nurses got him up out of bed and brought him into the front living area and when he saw us come in the door he got so excited and had a smile on his face and was so excited one will never forget. We got some pictures of him with Jewell and Honey all dressed up (Honey had one of Missy' s Easter dresses on and Jewell was dressed up in her wedding dress). We found out later that he was a pastor of one of the churches there in New Orleans. When we found that out (Honey was dressed up in Missy's Easter dress and Jewell was in her wedding dress), we told Richard that he married Jewell and Honey was her maid of honor. It makes a person feel so good to see all the smiles and excitement the tenants have when they see the dogs.
Missy and I both really enjoy taking Honey and Jewell to the nursing homes and seeing the smiles and excitement the residents show is so rewarding.

Dawg
Today seems to have been a really long day. But thanks to Missy we will be busy tonight. The Lake View Homecoming Parade is tonight, she was going to be taking pictures but being that the Youth at church is going to have a float in the parade and she is going to be part of it, she volunteered her daddy to take the pictures (Her and her daddy are always doing things like that).
She has really got her daddy good. She gave him the nickname of "Dawg" (like the animal dog) and he started calling her that also. When we went to Florida I told them that they need to call each other by their name (daddy and Missy). But that didn't happen. We sure got some strange looks when people heard them call each other "Dawg". Now want to hear something really funny? I called him on his cell one day and got his voice mail and when his voice mail came that was a BIG laugh (all he said was "Dawg", that caught me off guard for a second).
Next week is going to be super busy. Richard told me at lunch today that he is going to be gone-Monday, Tuesday and will be back sometime Wednesday. He is going to be going to something related to his job. Then Friday we (Missy, Richard, and and one of her friends) will be going to the Revolve Tour.
Well, guess I better go and get ready for Richard to come and pick me up so we can get out to Lake View (Richard has to find Missy, get the film and then get to where he is going to be taking pictures at).

Finally got a second to enter some. I haven't been able to enter anything lately. It has been so crazy around here (work), and at home. Work has been keeping Richard and I bouncing. This past Saturday we spent the day (until around 3:30) working on a rent house and
This past week I received tickets to the circus, from my boss who is a Shriner, along with some extra ones. We went to the Saturday night performance and enjoyed getting out of the house for awhile. Then next week is going to be really crazy. Friday, Missy, her friend, Richard and I will be leaving Friday around noon to go to the Revolve Tour. We went for the first time last year and was it ever good. Missy has talked about it and all the people that were there and about going again next year (that is this year). I got a phone call/email from one of the group consultants telling me that she had free tickets for Missy and I. The Revolve Tour is part of the "Women of Faith" but it's focus is for the younger girls. I remember last year the place they had it was packed from the floor all the way up to the last row of seats at the top. It is a wonderful thing for girls to attend (as well as others).
Well, guess I better get back to work so I can get ready to go home.
