Four days, and no one visited me

As a matter of fact Barnabas...I love roses. It has been a long time since I got any kind of flower from someone...Well Taylor gave me a dandelion (she is two)...so I thank you very much.

Sherrie,it's a time-honored tradition that little kids think dandelions are beautiful flowers,isn't it?

Hi,Barnabas and Frogman.

Raining here northern Illinois today,but everyone says the farmers really need it,so that's good.

Hope everyone has a great day!

 

Yes Cindy, and she is now 2 1/2, and she thinks they all are wonderful flowers. Like clover flowers.

Cindy, my son has elected to work at the job he has this summer, so he will not be coming home. This is really sad to me, but I actually understand. My 19 year old son, is totally dependant on himself. He does not need me anymore. I miss my son. He was my best friend. But I am very proud of the new man.

Hey frogman...rib..bit...hi!

Hello Barnabas! Seems you have lots of visitors.

Sherrie

 

Since Sherrie loves roses so much, here's my contribution: ---------{O

 

Sherrie, I have two sons,and the oldest,Jonathan (23)lives in Ohio now. Although he may be moving somewhere else at some point, to pursue his MBA.
I miss him terribly. I did get to see him a few weeks ago,and he's coming to visit the last weekend in May.

I love having Justin home. He's 20 and just completed his sophomore year in high school. Both boys are so funny and fun to be around...and my 16-year-old daughter Elizabeth is crazy about her big brothers.

My son Justin said something really funny the other night. He had said that on Monday,he was going to start a physical fitness regime and try to lose some weight.

His friend Philip said, "I wish I could gain some weight! I eat and eat, and never gain a pound!"

"Oh, I feel really sorry for you," I said with a touch of sarcasm, and added..."Yeah...fatness runs in our family."

"No,it doesn't run in our family," Justin corrected. "It kinda sits around on the couch watching TV. If it ran, maybe it wouldn't be so fat!"

I got a big kick out of that!

 

Why thank you Barnabas. Jim got me two gold charms for my charm bracelet and cooked dinner on the grill. I got a Tea Rose bush, candy and a ceramic milk pitcher covered with flowers from our oldest son and his wife. I also got a dozen yellow roses and two red roses from the second son. Our daughter sent cards and tried to have her baby.... but the contractions stopped. LOL. Nick made me several cards and had helped Dad choose the charms.

Have a wonderful day, all! It's misty rain here and is supposed to rain every day for at least the next 6 days. I really don't mind tho. I'd rather it rain that be 95~ LOL.

p.s. Mosquitos are back. Nick got 4 bites last night,in bed we are guessing. He usually swells up very badly but between the Zyrtec and Motrin, these aren't swelling... yet... PTL!

 

Things are going fine here, we have been working in our yard and gardening. I have just received a good report on the pressures in my left eye as a result of surgery two weeks ago they have significantly lowered and I underwent the laser again yesterday afternoon for the right eye.

Our cat just had six kittens, but one has not survived Anyone need a kitten??? Our neighbors moved early this Spring and left about fifteen cats and they have found a home with us. Plus we already had two; now the kittens our youngest son found a starving cat outside our church and now he is part of our family as well.

Other than a combination of 101 Dalmations and Aristocats, we are running pretty normal. Classes and finals ended at WKU last week and I passed everything ; looking to start subst. teaching in the fall, Lord willing.

Preparing to go to a conference in Dothan Alabama; per an invite from Bro. David Shortt in Toronto. Bro. David and Bro. D. Paul Tuck Sr. are making the trip and will be visiting us at Grider on June 4 for prayer meeting, then we will continue to the conference which starts on June 6. Had a wonderful Mother's Day spent some time Sunday morning visiting a local Primitive Baptist Church; spent some time with my Mom and due to storms on Sat. eve. couldn't broadcast my radio message Sun. evening. took the opportunity to spend some extra time with Kelly and the kids.

Have begun cursory work on a web-site and attempting to translate it into Russian for some brethren there. Pray for them, they are in need of a church building and according to Bro. Curtis Pugh (missionary in Romania who recently sojourned with the Russian brethren) they are sound and in need of further teaching and perhaps assistance from a local church or a 'more' permanent missionary working among them. Pray for Brother Pugh as well in his work for the Lord and missionaries all around the world for Grace to continue in their service.

Well, this is enough.

Continue to remember us in your prayers as we seek to serve the Lord.

God Bless All.
Bro. Dallas Eaton

 

Boy Cindy...we need to do something about Phillip!

Thank you Jimmy. I looooooooovvvvvvvvvvveeeeeeee flowers.

Frogman...you really are busy. Sounds like you need a Calgon bath. Do guys take a Calgon bath?

Sherrie

 

Hi Barnabas and everyone!

Barnabas: I just wished the moms a Happy Mother's Day. YOU provided the roses!

Calgon comes in a box like 'Mr.Bubble' and the commercial used to say, "Have a Calgon bath and let it carry you away." It is a mixture of moisturizer and bubble bath. It was supposed to be soothing.

I had a very nice Mothers Day. I am so thankful that I did not get another lawnmower. I was leery for a while because hubby was checking out the chain saws on sale. I'm too OLD to climb trees!

Sherrie: I doubt that men take Calgon baths.

Blessings,
Sue

 

Awwww...come on Sue...a little bubbles never hurt anyone. Not even a frogman.

So, what is it you are saying about the Scots (Jocks)

yours, Jon.

 

Sherrie, what is calgon bath? Could you elaborate? [/QUOTE]


yes, Sherrie, what is it? could you elaborate?

yours, Jon.

 

My sons miss baths so much at college,they soak in the tub as much as possible when they're home! And they're all-man.

My hubby prefers showers most of the time,especially working his summer job which is really dirty (he works at a compost site during the summer). He says he doesn't want to sit and soak in his own dirt. But other times, when he's feeling particularly sore or achey,he'll soak in the tub as well. And he's secure enough in his own manhood to enjoy the bubbles as well.

 

OK you guys! A Calgon Bath is just like Sue said, it is oily, and bubblely, and smells good, and makes you feel new all over. You relax in the tub. Light a candle, read a paper (or book), put some music on, and your in your own world. No one to bother you. The old saying was when you got in the Calgon tub, "Calgon take me away."

Now isn't that nice and relaxing. You don't want to get out. But the water gets cold, so you do.
